yeet, and dare i say, haw

Coming from a trained actor who has worked on movie sets:

there are more than thousands of people and crew on set at all times

the director, assistant director, sound crew, lighting crew, cinematographer, and camera man are usually less than 50 feet away from you, you talk to them constantly if you are not an asshole to work with, which, reportedly (people in hollywood talk) Gosling is not

they work 12 hour days, with breaks, there's usually a 1 hour lunch break where cast, crew, and everyone else talk with each other. Family and friends can come talk to you here, depending on how intense the set is security and secrecy wise. but you can call people

the filming of project hail mary took about 5 months, but Ryan Gosling wasn't sitting there all alone in a dark room talking to a standing camera

what James Ortiz was referring to in the interview about "helping him feel less alone" was that he was giving Ryan Gosling a scene partner, and saying the lines and giving him a face to react to. This is something that happens in a lot of one-on-one scenes, sometimes they'll make you go stand next to the camera so that way an actor has an actual face to react to.

That was not keeping him sane, Ortiz was helping him act. Gosling did spend 100 days-ish alone on set IN THE SCENES, and hats-off to him because he did such a good job, but he was not developing isolation sickness. I think it would actually, in every sense of the term, be physically impossible to develop isolation sickness on a movie set, my brain is going ??????????

anyways, final point 2 points: NO ONE HAS SAID THIS EVER IN ANY INTERVIEW I CAN FIND

Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.

My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang

Me: ksst!

My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!

Me: ok

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
