No Clankers at the Oscars

The AI Menace will not invade the Oscars. Not that anyone outside of Hollywood cares about the Oscars anymore. Oscars: No AI Actors, Screenplays; Acting, International Rule Changes. And Only some parts of movies will be clanker free, if I read this correctly. The people who "matter" will be protected. The working stiffs are SOL.

This just made me smile. Well, Pixy Misa's take (see below) made me smile.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in an announcement on Friday of updates to its rules and regulations, eliminated any gray area about its position on artificial intelligence: AI is not welcome at the Oscars.

This is mostly about AI actors, and AI written scripts.

I don't expect that this will stretch to work done for post-production, like digital/special effects, and I don't think it includes music.

The Oscars have also declared war on the clanker menace. (Hollywood Reporter)

If the skinsuit doesn't fit you might as well quit.

George Lucas predicted a lot.
