What do The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez, Dune Part II, and A Complete Unknown have in common? Yes, they’re all films nominated for Oscars at this Sunday’s ceremony. But they share something else – all of these films used Artificial Intelligence tools in some form during production. For the Brutalist and Emilia Pérez, AI was employed to alter actor’s voices while singing, or speaking Hungarian. For Dune and A Complete Unknown, AI tools changed actor or stunt double’s appearances. AI usage in film has been controversial for years. In 2023, both the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, the screen actors guild, went on strike – picketing in part over concerns regarding AI. But now, the red carpet will be full of directors and producers who relied on AI in small ways in their journey to the Oscars. So what does this say about the state of the film industry? Will this lead, as some have warned before, to the death of the movies? Guest: Brett Halperin is a University of Washington doctoral student in human centered design and engineering, and cinema and media studies.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 14 of The Paranormal Rundown! We are down a man or two on this episode, but that is ok, because we have a fantastic guest: Father Michael Pacella! He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and ideas to the discussion. Father Michael has experience as a military chaplain, a PhD in Philosophy, experience as an exorcist, and 45 years of ministry. No wonder this conversation was so interesting! We hit the main topics of Satanic Corporate Logos, Alien Minds, and a brief stint on Sex Robots. One thing that each conversation kept coming back to was the Human Soul, from what damages it to what components it is made of. The Soul is definitely something Fr. Michael has thought deeply about. He also relays a personal story of seeing a Principality in the sky. Other topics we hit include Secret Organizations and Exorcism, Syncretism, Critical Thinking, KKK Chaplains, Soul Subversion, The Fifth Column, Demonic Influence in Combat, Soul Repair, The Soulless Mind, Demonic Obsession, Seeing Inside the Possessed, Evidence of Residence, and much more.

“To put the pudding in the puff: she had retreated to the library, her favorite sanctuary in any house, only to happen upon an unexpected vampire.”   In this unedited episode of Fictional Hangover, Amanda, Claire and SuperFan Annie talk about speaking in italics, understanding the assignment with hats and being attacked by pink fuzz, not being opposed to cannibalism, a huge herculean homHUNKulus, and how Miss Gail brings people together in their discussion of Soulless, Parasol Protectorate book the first, by Gail Carriger.

On this episode of Think Theory Radio we take a deep dive into the commercialization of holidays! On the heels of Thanksgiving we discuss how and why it has become such a big consumer extravaganza with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Why are Americans obsessed with spending huge amounts of money on nearly every holiday? What does President's Day & Memorial Day have to do with buying new appliances? Plus, how much money niche holidays like St. Patrick's Day & Valentine's Day generate!

A few hiring and career thoughts while espousing advice to others this week in sports tech. 1. $10k for the rest of your life? 2. Soulless jobs pay more. Why are we surprised? 3. The positive "negative" reviews

Today we open with another report from southern Lebanon, showing just how close Israel came to having an even worse Oct 7 massacre than they already had. The construction of the terror tunnels and planning for the attack were years in the making. I am waiting for Israel to show the world just how much the UN has been involved in supporting these terrorist regimes. Bombshell news from the J6 Investigative Committee chaired by Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) revealing how former representative and co-Chair Liz Cheney was exchanging secret text messages with one of their “star” witnesses, Cassidy Hutchinson. This is obviously even more bad news for the J6 Reality TV Show that took place in 2022. A crime spree of 50 burglaries in NYC was carried out by 20 members of the same Venezuelan gang that took over “only” and handful of apartment complexes. A NYPD spokesperson told a local affiliate that they are all back on the streets of New York City. An activist judge in Georgia has decided that election officials in Georgia voting precincts have no choice but to certify their election numbers, even if they have evidence of fraud or error. Plus, he said he was suspending the rule of providing a hand count of the ballots to make sure they match the electronic number submitted. The FBI just now discovered they had misreported violent crime stats. Remember when ABC's David Muir “fact-checked” Trump during the debate with Harris? Looks like Trump was right once again! The Left, their paid shills and most of Hollywood is trying to convince you that Donald Trump had some episode where he froze for 30 minutes and played music. We all know, and ABC News confirmed it, that two people in the audience had a medical issue and Trump suspended the Town Hall to let the paramedics do their jobs. Anyone who lies and tries to tell you the opposite is a soulless parasite. So, of course, that's exactly what Gov. Elmer Fudd, aka Tim Walz (D-MN) did. The Bill Clinton moment I brought up yesterday while he was here in Georgia became the headline of the NY Post today. It's great to see when the truth accidentally finds it's way to the mouth of Leftists. We close with two sound bites from the Trump rally in Atlanta, GA yesterday. The first comes from Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) about masculinity. The second comes from Michaelah Montgomery whom Trump first met at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta several months ago.

Hi Friend, thank you for downloading this episode and hanging out with us today! If you hear some snoring, that's just my english bulldog Ted. I didn't have the heart to kick him out so he's hanging out with us too. Today's question is:  Can you get sober for someone else?  There is a lot of debate around the idea of getting sober for someone else. In this episode, I have a conversation with Paul Summers Jr, who is a returning guest. He is the author of “Hide and Seek: A Dad's Journey from Soulless addiction to sole custody”.  In this episode Paul shares his story of drug addiction, how he got sober for his daughter, and the fight to save her from an addict mother.  Before we jump in, I wanted to share an idea that has really helped a lot of my clients as they work towards breaking old behavior patterns and achieving really big goals, and that is the Law of 51%. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by changes that you want to make or goals you want to achieve. That feeling of overwhelm can keep you from taking action, which keeps you feeling stuck. Think of a balance scale and what it takes to tip the balance. It's just a little more on one side than the other! So the law of 51% states that all you need to tip the scale, is just a little more progress in the direction you're headed in. The big take away here is that you are closer to your goal than you think! With some tools, support and a little practice, you can reach that goal you have been struggling with.   This is just one of the lessons from my 6 week class called “Reinvent Yourself”. Listen, we all know what to do, but we just don't do it. Why? The answer is resistance. The magic is that we do the exercises together in class to break through that resistance and help you build momentum.   Class starts Oct 3 at 6pm PST. I only teach this class 3 times per year and space is very limited, so don't miss out! As a little incentive, if you sign up by Friday, you can bring a friend for free!

Mark interviews Gail Carriger about her writing life, her journey through publishing, analytics, the careful curation of her author brand, being a hybrid author and so much more. Prior to the interview, Mark shares comments from recent episodes, a personal update, and a word from this episode's sponsor. Learn more about this self-publishing/WIDE-publishing focused cruise. In the interview Mark and Gail talk about:- How honored Mark is to learn that Gail listens to the Stark Reflections Podcast Gail's branding phrase of "Gail Carriger writes books that are hugs" and the various experiments she's done with that over the years Always being a person who wrote, or had a passion for writing Reading The Lord of the Rings as a child and deciding to craft her OWN ending for the story Growing up in a "commune" environment with a bunch of poets Gail's career as an academic when her first traditionally published book (Soulless) came out and took off The challenge/dare to herself of wanting to write a genre-blending/cross-genre tale of something that she would enjoy as a reader Negotiations taking a long time because Gail dug in her heels on specific contract clauses Her agent investigating a back-door deal with another publisher who offered her 3X the deal the first was looking at and was willing to adjust the right of first refusal clause The vision that the publishers had that Soulless was the beginning of a series (despite Gail believing, when she first wrote it, that it was a stand-alone) Having a two-book contract and then writing a cliffhanger at the end of the 2nd book in order to grease the wheels of a contract for other books Gail's love-affair with spreadsheets and the fact she reads all 56 pages of her royalty reports One of the main reasons she became an indie author was her ability to have direct access to data about her sales and her readers Gail's cautionary note to authors that with a "right of first refusal" a publisher is allowed to take their time with that offer, which can significantly delay an author's forward-movement plans The possible "rights grab" that a publisher might do even if it's not something within their regular publishing plans How growing up Gen-X and being a non-native to computers and the internet has resulted in an abundance of caution about digital, computers, the world wide web, how she is presented on the internet, etc. Gail's recommendation to test the waters in self-publishing with short stories first Nerding out with Mark about the "old days" of self-publishing and podcasting Being a social scientist by training and loving analytics and spreadsheets Pinging her rabid fan base and testing things all the time Gail's A/B testing on whether it's better to put a newsletter signup link at the front of a book or the end of the book, or both Ensuring that her author brand is not diluted with author business stuff that she's known for from other authors and industry insiders Talking to her readers constantly to continue to stay in the loop on insights The importance, when communicating to your readers to use the same language that they're used to Learning that her readers tend to not have a distinction between libraries and bookstores - that many of them see them under the same umbrella of a place they go to see what books are on display Confirming the reports that "word of mouth" is, by a landslide, the way that most readers find out about new books and new authors to read The value of a recommendation from another author in a newsletter or on social media The challenges of book blurbs A podcast that Gail recommends: Reading Glasses - and that authors should subscribe and listen to it in order to understand the language that readers use The deliberate curation and creation of the Gail Carriger persona, including her love of wearing retro outfits The side benefit of being able to be a fan at conventions, etc when "out of uniform" and how she's rarely recognized when not sporting that specific "look" A little bit about Gail's book THE HEROINE'S JOURNEY The next book for writers that Gail is working on called GOING HYBRID, structured to help established and existing traditionally published authors to learn the indie publishing landscape And more . . .   After the interview Mark reflects on several different topics that came up in the conversation, including contract clauses, being incognito, and Gails's suggesting for testing the self-publishing waters.   Links of Interest: Gail Carriger Website ScribeCount (Mark's Affiliate Link) DropCap Marketplace  Use coupon STARK20 to get 20% off Cruising Writers Buy Mark a Coffee Patreon for Stark Reflections How to Access Patreon RSS Feeds An Author's Guide to Working With Bookstores and Libraries The Relaxed Author Buy eBook Direct Buy Audiobook Direct Publishing Pitfalls for Authors An Author's Guide to Working with Libraries & Bookstores Wide for the Win Mark's Canadian Werewolf Books This Time Around (Short Story) A Canadian Werewolf in New York Stowe Away (Novella) Fear and Longing in Los Angeles Fright Nights, Big City Lover's Moon Hex and the City Only Monsters in the Building The Canadian Mounted: A Trivia Guide to Planes, Trains and Automobiles Yippee Ki-Yay Motherf*cker: A Trivia Guide to Die Hard   Gail Carriger writes books that are hugs, mostly comedies of manners mixed with steampunk, urban fantasy, and sci-fi (plus cozy queer joy as G.

Dubai, Dubai, Dubai — the glitzy city where you can flex for the ‘Gram with clean streets, safe neighbourhoods, and every luxury imaginable. But, under all this opulence, is there a darker side?Where's Shaz and I both agree that the city's a mix of opportunity and excess — a business hub where entrepreneurs come to strike gold. You've got the skyscrapers and luxury cars that just scream ‘success.' But it's not all shiny; the service industry can be hit or miss, and there's a lot of flash with little substance. Genuine connections can be challenging unless your bank account matches the scene.Still, the networking opportunities are gold if you know how to play the game. The right connections can launch your business, but only if you stay smart and don't drown in trends and ‘pay-to-play' deals.Curious about Dubai's real draw and how it shapes up as a place to invest or live?

Kyle is incensed after his first viewing of the long-awaited The Crow remake trailer, starring Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven. The original is not only one of Kyle's all-time favorite films and comfort movies, he believes 1994's The Crow possesses a high level of cultural significance. Can any iteration or remake of this classic justify attempts to infringe on Brandon Lee's tragic legacy, a film that led to his on-set death? Even though the Movie Wars crew aren't typically "trailer reaction" guys, Kyle thoroughly discusses Hollywood's latest attempt at retreading beloved IP. Head to our socials and drop your thoughts!

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, major media outlets are now replacing their "journalists" with AI. We can all agree that most journalists are expendable, but what happens when AI starts taking real jobs? We'll discuss. Also, the Daily Wire unveils the trailer for a first feature length comedy. It's already getting a huge reaction. Plus, Derek Chauvin was stabbed and almost killed in prison. And in our Daily Cancelation, the leftist mob comes after a random child for wearing a costume to a football game. Ep.1268  - - -  DailyWire+: Watch the official Lady Ballers movie trailer now: https://bit.ly/3R1dM5b Shop my merch collection here: https://bit.ly/3EbNwyj  - - -  Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold - Text "WALSH" to 989898 to check out Birch Gold's Holiday Deals!

A conversation with Emma Fuller, co-founder of Fractal, about the transition to regenerative practices or outcomes of the millions of acres of broad-acre row cropping, corn, soy, and wheat in the US, Brazil, Argentina. Fractal provides farmers with equity financing by investing alongside them in their farmland to fund their growth.We all know the amazing examples that are pushing the boundaries of agriculture: syntropic agroforestry, silvopasture, food forests, complex intercropping, very advanced CSA, no dig market garden, or even agroforestry at a relative scale. But what about the rest? What are we going to do with all those acres and how do we get regenerative practices, regenerative outcomes or outcomes we like and seek like soil health etc at scale? Is there a path to having hundreds of thousands of acres in transition? Can soulless investors and the least interested in soil health farmers get these outcomes? Is there strong consumer pressure?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/emma-fuller.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

What have we always wanted in a leader? Someone with courage, knowledge of the issues, unyielding principles, good personnel choices, and the ability to fight through and articulate during a period of adversity. On those fronts, the choice between Trump and DeSantis could not be clearer. I play several clips today contrasting the two of them on their desire and ability to fight for us on the issues that actually matter in the way they matter. We will find out soon enough if the voters actually believe in what they claim or are every bit as much of the problem as the failed conservative leadership. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesse revisits the passport bros discussion after considerable feedback; it's sad that men can't find women with traditional values in America anymore. The vision of the nuclear family slowly being eroded by our culture. Society valuing the wrong things. Soulless ginger equates babies to a lump of coal. The first Republican to bend the knee over the confederate flag. Communist artist attempts to sew dissent in state flags. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Democrat trend is to either use dead friends and family for sympathy points or have a coffee-stained photo of a cop you don't actually know. Blackrock got paid off with your social security money via the Ukraine government. When a nation loses trust in its own institutions, the clock is ticking. Impeachment inquiries are coming... eventually. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
