1 hour ago The Guardian view on Tilly Norwood: she’s not art, she’s data | Editorial

The first 100% AI actor is a cause for alarm. But the human connection of great acting can never be replacedThe threat to human creativity from technology took another step closer this week with the appearance of Tilly Norwood, the first 100% AI-generated actor. Unsurprisingly, her unveiling at the Zurich film festival in a comic sketch called AI Commissioner caused an outcry. Emily Blunt described the film as “terrifying” and the actors’ union Sag-Aftra condemned it as “jeopardising performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry”.There is much that is problematic about Norwood, not least the message her “girl-next-door vibe” sends to young women. But the more serious point is that her face has been made from those of real actors without their knowledge or consent. Her lighthearted debut masks the fact that she is part of a new model of media production that rides roughshod over longstanding norms and laws governing artists and their work. Hollywood has been anticipating Norwood...

3 h. ago How do you celebrate James Bond Day when you don’t know who the next 007 will be?

All things Bond will be commemorated on 5 October. But while the new movie has a director and writer attached, we’re still none the wiser as to who will play the super-spyIt’s James Bond Day this Sunday, if you didn’t know – 5 October is now a celebration of all things 007, thanks to this being the date of the world premiere of Dr No, the very first Bond film, starring Sean Connery, in 1962. Imagine it as a bit like Star Wars Day, with fewer Wookiees and Ewoks and a whole lot more tuxedoed swagger.This year though, the advent of JBD (as no one has ever called it) is bit of a damp squib. It hasn’t been that long since Denis Villeneuve was announced as the director of the next Bond film (June, in fact) and even less time since Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight was hired to write the script. But there’s been little to no sign since then of the new 007 actually being revealed, and even less sense of where this venerable franchise is going next. All we have are whisperings on the wind via th...

3 h. ago Football Daily | ‘He’s behind you!’ Is Postecoglou the real villain in Forest’s panto?

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Arguably the most unpopular Australian to pitch up in Nottinghamshire since villainous hotelier Paul Robinson from Neighbours starred in a Mansfield panto 20 years ago, Ange Postecoglou’s reign at the City Ground could scarcely have got off to a more inauspicious start. While the boos and catcalls that actor Stefan Dennis was subjected to during Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood were largely good-natured, such was the toxicity of the invective aimed at Postecoglou during Nottingham Forest’s Bigger Vase defeat by Midtjylland on Thursday, that it is difficult to imagine the man who has been in charge for just six matches will still be around to hear the festive cat-calls this Christmas. On more than one occasion the 60-year-old’s shouts of “He’s behind you!” went ignored by his hapless players, not least when the Danish side scored their first two goals from atrociously defended set-pieces. Far from the celebratory mood they’d hope...
