The decline of sex in films

I wonder how much of this correlates with the rise of intimacy coordinators. I’m sure there are productions that think it’s not worth the investment so they just scrap the scene and have it take place off camera etc.

And perhaps a rise in actors not wanting to have their stuff on the internet forever now (even more so with the rise of AI training)

what was your biggest, "it was at this moment he knew ... he fucked up" moment?

Updated the number of key iterations on my Bitwarden password manager. Logs out every device instantly. It’s fine, just log back in right? Well guess which dodo put their Bitwarden 2 factor OTP inside Bitwarden and nowhere else, and didn’t write down the recovery key or anything. Yeah.

Lesson learned. Also made me realise how few places that have 2 factor authentication actually care about it for password recovery. I think Bitwarden was the only place with 2 factor where I couldn’t get back in (that I cared about anyway). The rest I was able to get my account back through other means

Adobe Photoshop's AI tools put women politicians in bikini bottoms and their male colleagues in suits

Does it though? Adobe simply claimed it would require human intervention and approval. Which is true and easily provable. You can’t replace someone’s clothing without selecting a part of the image you want to replace.

Someone had to go and do that. Someone hit generate on an AI prompt. Someone saw the result of said AI prompt (which gives you 3 possible alternatives each run) and said “yep, print it”.

This is not a tale of the biases of generative AI. There’s literally no reason for Nine to have even invoked any such thing in the first place.
