Today on the 5: Only a day after I talked about Zoom's plan for virtual meeting attendees, Vox posted an article talking about an artist named FKA Twigs working on her own deepfake avatar. Those two things got me thinking about what type of world it will be when everyone just uses artifical versions of themselves for every interaction.

1200Today on the 5: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek recently made some statements that angered a lot of musicians. While nothing that was sauid really surprises me coming fronm a company that is not exactly beloved by the creative community, it does highlight another aspect of creativity that is misunderstood.
-
Today on the 5: The CEO of Zoom thinks in the next few years we'll all be able to skip meetings by sending a "personal LLM" to attend for us. While I'm certainly pleased a major CEO is tacitly acknowledging how pointless most meetings are, I'm not sure he's thought this concept all the way through.
-
Today on the 5: I came across a movie that looked like something from a slice of time that no longer exists. The video is called Oblivion 2 Backlash, and it's an adorably fun example of what you'd see in the early morning hours during the early days of the Sci-Fi channel.

Today on the 5: Between terrible internally created ads and wonderful externally crafted creations, I've had a real desire to see the old Apple come back in some way. Remember when their products had color and took chances? They've got the hardware design pretty much locked in, so why not start letting loose in the design department?

Today on the 5: Microsoft recently held a Surface and Windows event where they made a bunch of hardware and software accnoiuncments. One of the most highly discussed news items from that event is Recall, a sort of system wide overseer that constantly captures virtually everything you do on your computer. A lot of people are losing their minds over this feature, but as described I'm not sure I have much of an issue with it.
-
Today on the 5: I've been waiting for Love Lies Bleeding to hit VOD and it finally did, so I watched it over the weekend. I had seen comparisons of the film to Bound, which makes a lot of sense but shouldn't be read as meaning it's anything other than a unique and fantastic film.
-
Today on the 5: Amazon is reportedly getting set to unveil an upgraded version of the Alexa voice assistant. Just like everything else on the planet, this new version will be augmented by AI. Most interestingly, Amazon is apparently planning to charge for it, and the price being bounced around is $20 a month. That feels...ambitious.

Today on the 5: After seeing a lot of good reviews for the Sony INZONE Buds, I kept an eye out for a good deal on them and when one came up I grabbed them. So far, a lot of my time with the INZONE Buds has been great, but in one area they are a big step down from my Arctis headset.
-
Today on the 5: News and discussion about AI is basically inescapable right now, and it often ends being awed anticipation or fiery fearmongering. No matter which side of the fence you end up on in regards to the technology itself, the real areas of concern are the humans in control of it.
-
Today on the 5: Listening to the John McTiernan series that the podcast Blank Check recently did reminded me that I had never seen the 1986 film Nomads. Luckily, it's easy to see for free pretty much anywhere so I made it a priority to watch it. It definitely has some flaws, but I really liked it.
-
Today on the 5: Mars Express has been on my radar for a while now, and I finally got a chance to see it. While I wouldn't draw the same comparisons a lot of reviews have, I would absolutely agree that it is a stellar piece of French cyberpunk.

Today on the 5: Thanks to Andy Last over at Beyond Synth, I was reminded that a cartoon had been made based on the movie Beetlejuice. I picked up the complete run on DVD and have been watching it. It is way wilder than I could have expected!
-
Today on the 5: In the last few days both OpenAI and Google have made major announcements about their generative models. They both spent a lot of time demonstrating uses of their products that are clearly aimed at projecting more "human" aspects. I think this is a mistake for a couple of reasons.
-
Today on the 5: Thanks to the wonderful Criterion Channel, I got to watch a movie I never thought I'd see. It's titled The World's Greatest Sinner, and it's a bizarre and (I think) hearftelt expression of a man's struggle with his faith in God.
-
Today on the 5: Shortly after Apple's iPad Pro even last week, I started to see articles and posts about how people were upset over one of the videos they played. I watched the video, and it's nothing to get upset over. It's just another example of how Apple has lost their marketing mojo.
