Sad to read the news of #DonaldSutherland passing. I briefly met him many years ago when I worked as a camera man for Moving Pictures Magazine during the Tribeca film festival. He was very kind in the middle of what must have been a grueling day of press interviews. He was also a very proud dad who mentioned Kiefers success in 24 with an absolute glow.

It’s incredibly creepy to learn that not only is Sam Altman a bit obsessed with the movie Her but that he tried getting Scarlet Johansson to voice ChatGPT and when rebuffed hired a voice actress who sounds very much like her. This lack of ethics in light of Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike leaving is terrifying.

I’m overhearing the loudest American kid, sitting at a coffee shop here in Mexico City loudly bitch to his friend over FaceTime about how thrifting in “La Roma” is just as expensive as Brooklyn and how EVEEERYTHING here is about the Mexican Revolution and how he NEEDS something whimsical. This punctuated by a laughter like a horses neighing. 🙄
