To everyone saying broken clock and a glimmer of hope, you just need to read the article that it isn’t. He was just cornered and had no room to wiggle out of it.

Any hope that Kennedy’s measles statement might indicate a change of heart were dashed in the rest of the CNN interview in which he turned combative. Batting off questions from Bash, the health secretary responded with personal attacks.

He accused the CNN host of “saying nonsense”, “repeating like a parrot” and “making assertions you can’t support”. In one especially demeaning remark he said Bash had become “flustered”.

“I’m not flustered at all,” she asserted in a calm voice. “I am frustrated because you are the HHS secretary and you are talking about things that lead to vaccine hesitancy in this country.”

In a further comment dripping with condescension, Kennedy told Bash “you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist”.

The journalist riposted: “But you’re not, either.”

Kennedy used the CNN exchange to spread further misinformation about other aspects of public health. He claimed that both respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is a major cause of infant mortality and Lyme disease were caused by manipulation of germs in laboratories.

I only go to two theaters in my city. One is a true (certified) full IMAX screen, although it’s digital and not 70mm. The other is also certified IMAX but the screen is a little narrower. The former I only go for really deserving films like Dune, which is once every two years maybe. The latter I go for “lesser” IMAX movies because they have $5 Tuesdays and it’s a new theater with nice and clean seats.

These are not the lie-max theaters like AMC has.

I mean, I'm not entirely opposed to getting new Blade Runner content once in a while since the universe has a lot of potential to be explored, but yeah Amazon doing it isn't exactly optimistic either.

Only issue with the left photo is the carpet. Replace it with plank/tile and it’s all good.

Notes and sounds, not music, are the equivalent of images, the most basic form. Music is the result of the combination and arrangement of notes turned into art, same as how photography is how you turn an image into art.

Rock and rap are genres of music, the equivalent to a type of visual art (painting, photography, digital illustration, etc.). And subgenres of music like prog rock, classic rock, stoner rock, etc. are the equivalent of different types of photography (nature, portraits, etc.).

Painting and photography are different kinds of visual mediums, but both are visual arts. The same way rock and rap are different kinds of genres, but both are art (music) all the same.

You are essentially bringing down music to the level of your definition of an image, the most basic form, when it is not.

In that case, AI-generated music isn’t music, just notes an algorithm put together, because it wasn’t produced by a musical instrument (software instruments included). A lot of AI-generated music is being passed off as original music on streaming (profit motive), so they are technically being dishonest about it.

So to parallel photography with music, someone who says they don’t care a photography exhibit was AI-generated (even if they didn’t know) as long as the photos look great, would have a similar opinion as yours with music.
