“…this is the first AI film to demonstrate that AI can now sustain character consistency, world coherence, and narrative arc across a complete feature,” is roughly equivalent to “we made a car that actually has wheels and can take you somewhere.”
And it wasn’t in the festival, it just screening in the same town.

The unflattering secrets revealed so far in Elon Musk’s latest legal feud
Hundreds of court filings have revealed cringey texts, emails or private diary entries of Musk, Altman, other OpenAI founders and other public figures.
They include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg privately offering to use his social platforms to help Musk’s interests,
Musk insulting Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos (twice)
and a journal in which a big MAGA donor muses about becoming a billiona…
Pleased to live in a place where this is true (enough):
Eight states received “A” grades for LGBTQ safety based on their comprehensive pro-equality laws and low rates of hate crimes against LGBTQ people. **Only Rhode Island nabbed an A mark.**

Study reveals hidden 'chemical currency' fueling the ocean's carbon cycle #ocean
Daleks, in the future, are teaming up with the heads of the other galaxies to overtake the Solar system and destruct time, and the Doctor's only got Steven (a pilot from the 24th Century) , Katerina (a slave girl from ancient Troy), and a local soldier to help.
The guardian of our Solar system has betrayed us to the Daleks! He's mined 50 years worth of Terrainium secretly from Uranus to power the core of the Dalek Time Destructor.
The Daleks say "Execute" when they have found someone guilty of negligence, vs just when they are a pest to be exterminated.
The doctor nips in, under disguise, to investigate the council, steals the Terranium and the president's ship, then gets the team stranded on the Solar system's prison planet.
The prisoners try and raid the ship but the Doctor has set a trap and electrocutes the invaders, just in time for them to fix the ship and escape.
Only one prisoner has stowed away on board.
[Then there's a episode still missing, in which apparently Katerina wrestles the prisoner into the air-lock and they are both spaced. The Doctor and Peter return to Earth to warn about the Daleks.]
They arrive on Earth (future earth remember, but all the computers have giant tape drives and knobs) as an experiment on mice is in progress.
I guess the experiment was to try and make mice turn into negative images screaming in slow-motion and then bounce up and down as they are transmitted through space many light years away. And the Doctor, Steven, and some security guard chasing them get sent along too. With the Daleks following on in their ships.
The Daleks exterminate the mice 😔
There's 8 ft tall invisible creatures on this planet so the mice were gonna be in trouble anyway. The Doctor beats them off with sticks before being apprehended by Daleks.
[Then there's four still-missing episodes in which the Doctor and Steven steal a Dalek ship, trick the Daleks with a fake Terrainium core, meet the Monk who attempts revenge, and celebrate Xmas on a silent film set. All with Daleks giving chase]
The security guard and the Monk are still with them in the next archived episode, when they are in a Egyptian tomb for some reason and the companions including the monk are captured.
The doctor faces the Daleks to negotiate his companions' return.
At the hostage exchange the Doctor hands over the core as the ancient Egyptians attack the Daleks. It's a slaughter of course. All the Egyptians die, but they made a good distraction and the Doctor skips off.
He's knicked the Monk's Tardis' directional compass so the Monk goes to who knows what random place now.
The Doctor aims to try and materialize the Tardis at the point the Daleks are likely to use that Terranium, to take over the galaxy and destruct time, but seems like the Tarids fails.
[And then there's another two still-missing ones in which the security guard ages to death in a time-mishap, and an entire planet is wiped of all life to thwart the Daleks. The Doctor and Steven lament the senseless deaths of the three of them that they cared about.]
Crikey. I guess they used to bounce around in time and space more during a story when it was twelve 20 minute episodes. That Prison Planet was there only to be landed upon, have the Doctor electrocute some people, and then leave with a stowaway. The 8ft tall invisible creatures are in like 2 scenes.
Incredible body counts. Just absolute carnage compared to most New Who.
The background of mega-death while the protagonists lament the death of only their own reminds me of the way the contemporary news will focus on one marooned soldier over the deaths of hundreds. Humanize only their own.
The Monk is a good candidate for a return. He's got this great Frankie Howerd like mischievous campness. Exited this story with a randomizer on his tardis vowing revenge.

Hey, Twin Cities folks! I'm in an upcoming show that I'm excited about.
It’s visual art, it’s theater, it’s music, it’s ritual, it’s community meditation, it’s one of those •experiences• that defies categorization. It's the brainchild of Summer Hills-Bonczyk, who runs the cermics studio at Macalester, and I'm working with her brother to create music for the show.
I have a good feeling about this. I think it's going to be really cool!
