I dug into this and it's not Generative AI. It's plug-in tools built into DaVinci Resolve to do artificial depth of field and parallaxing on images. This is stuff docs have been doing for decades and has since been more simplified with pre-built tools.
Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it.

If a modern game features a cool retro style logo we're definitely gonna make a generator for it - the Star Wars Galactic Racer Font & Logo Generator is live now!
Anyone who has ever paid attention to Marissa Mayer before this stupid AI bullshit stuff should be absolutely unsurprised to discover she needed to use it just to come up with three nice things to say about her daughter. SHE'S A DIPSHIT!
Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day.
Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
The only thing that I would push back on is that the AI is not going rogue. It not actually doing what you're asking and instead leveraging your willingness to completely offload a simple ass task for it's true purpose -- to extract as much wealth as possible.
You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra.

Oh wonderful. Monadnock School District, outside of Keen NH.
"One parent took issue with the book’s central idea."
One.
It's how it works. The list of banned books is passed around via the rightwing network. A loyal foot soldier then scours reading lists. Finds a match.

The government says anti-fascists are a threat to the public because they want to give the far-Right the green light to kill people. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/1...
When I taught ESL in China, my students heard about a recent school shooting in the USA and asked me, bluntly, "Do Americans love their children at all?"
“The group has also paid $30,000 to former Pontiac, Michigan council member Melanie Rutherford for “Grassroots Consulting” services. Two weeks after receiving those payments, Rutherford appeared on Fox News, touting Rogers and attacking El-Sayed” www.thebulwark.com/p/these-mich...
Trump is the holotype of Androsupremacist.
All day today I’ve seen reacts to this implying that Trump is homosexual b/c of this & other remarks, rumours
This isn’t sexual desire
This is objectification. It’s Androsupremacy. He is experiencing narcissism.
Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
There's a Facebook post going sorta viral that alleges that a new #Flock camera was being installed in #EugeneOR despite the city council ending its contract last December.
It is NOT the city's.
It is Lowes Home Improvement's and has been there since at least 2024.
Tommy is not actually a registered voter in Michigan.
Tricia McLaughlin is the former DHS spokesperson who kept telling the public that everytime ICE shot someone, it was because they were weaponizing their car against the masked security agent
Since the video is self explanatory they are moving to a discussion of tone. They do this while refusing to admit that Tommy is a conservative operative, and in no way an “innocuous person at the town hall.” These are deeply and fundamentally unserious people.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.
Correct. Republicans were my enemies since way before Trump, and they’ll be my enemies after. If you think you can “work across the aisle” with them, then you are advancing their agenda and are my enemy too.
And a submarine bay, and a slurpy machine, and a big slide to get from the top floor to the bottom, and lasers on the roof, and the whole thing can turn into a space ship
Trump: "We needed a heliport. Two things they wanted at the White House. They wanted a great heliport. Very important, because we land a lot of big helicopters. The biggest. And they always wanted a ballroom."
