AI video technology is still nowhere even remotely near just "click a button and take what it spits out". I don't know how to break this to anyone here, but you're not just going to go to some video generation site and turn out Woodnuts without extensive skill about AI video tools themselves and a wide range of traditional video production tools, and without spending weeks to months and significant financial expense on the project.

Even if / when this changes, video production is still always going to be limited by the human at hand. Most people's movie ideas, plotting, scripting, directing, etc frankly will be terrible. The slop in this case is the human, not the tool.

It's basically a toy commercial. If we are lucky we get a half decent movie out of it too. Reviews seem to be positive.

The ads I have seen say "only in cinemas". Is that no the case?

I think they are expecting it to dry more on streaming, and just want the prestige of it being a "real" movie, not a made for TV one. No need to spend money on ads, it costs nothing to promote in the app when the time comes.

Fun fact, to get to net zero the UK needs to dedicate a bit less than all the land currently used for golf courses to solar.

Just sayin'.

Proven ability from a list of game credits goes a long way in the industry. The job is more to do with knowing how to get stuff done effectively, and dealing with collaboration issues, than about raw talent.

You just rip the dummy out of the driver's seat and use the mounting pole like a joystick /s

Seriously though, it's probably manually drivable via app or wireless controller.

I'd much rather spend my pre coffee half awake time in work, then have the best hours for myself.

You are right, they did get a dual input warning, but for some reason ignored it.

There are good alternatives too now, like GOWIN. I know it's not always an option, you might need Xilinx features, you might be familiar with them already, but I find it's often worth the effort to move if you can.

As I recall one pilot held their stick back to keep the nose up the whole time, which doomed them. Airbus averages the inputs from the two pilots. Boeing produces a "dual inputs" warning.

Because he held back the whole time, the other pilot's efforts to level the aircraft and gain speed were ineffective. As you say, it was noticed at the last minute, but too late.

That always seemed like a very weird design choice to me. But also, the crew should have noticed sooner, and they should have made it clear who was flying and that the other pilot needed to let go of their controls.

Seems to be more a case of enough AI tokens and the source code, and all bugs become shallow.

Presumably Microsoft has Copilot doing the same for Windows, and Apple has some AI working on MacOS and iOS, and we know Google has been using Gemini AI for Android.

They just quietly fix stuff before it becomes public knowledge, but Linux is open source so can't really do that.

Oh, but these are *preventative* wars. He gets a peace prize for every country he invades!

Venezuela was using fentanyl as a WMD. Iran was about to nuke us. Cuba might attack us with drones if someone provides them. Greenland might start a snowball fight, and make us look bad if we lose.

Presumably we've got all our best people on this, since they're obviously not on the UFO videos.

One of the "unidentifiable" objects in an earlier release (last year, I think) was obviously as hell two birds flying low over the ground.

I don't have a conspiracy theory to explain it, but this is all utter bullshit.

Perhaps, but what a great job the unions did negotiating even this much. A massive bonus, nearly 8 times annual salary, and even if the stock price does crash eventually, those workers still did extremely well out of it.
