Making our movie with the Geo Method feels like playing with action figures as a kid, with a side of superintelligence.

Only nuclear company chosen by the Navy, Army and Air Force. @RadiantNuclear is America's Nuclear company.
The @USNavy has selected Radiant to deploy our Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana. With this selection, Radiant is now the only nuclear microreactor company with partnerships across the Army, Navy and Air Force. The Navy has more than 70 years of safe reactor operations. It wrote the playbook on reactor safety. Earning its confidence is powerful independent validation of Kaleidos. This milestone moves us closer to our goal: reliable, resilient nuclear power wherever the mission demands. Through our work with all three branches, we’re building a clear path from military deployment to nuclear energy at scale for government and commercial customers.

I respect him protecting his likeness from replication or automation where he’s no longer required for a scene. That’s the talent’s right. I believe you can hold that line while also not claiming anti-ai. The truth is AI will be natively integrated into every digital process in one form or another, so taking a truly purist approach may leave you with nowhere to work... The future of filmmaking will actually land somewhere hybrid. AI is the new VFX, and new way of animation. The result of embracing this incredible technology will be more opportunities for actors, storytellers and creators, not less. Over the next few years we’re going to see impressive workflows that usher in the greatest advancements in filmmaking since the moving picture itself. It’s far too exciting of an era to have a closed mind. My opinion is bring on ALL forms of innovation and let’s see what we can create!
Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign an AI waiver for #SpiderNoir: “Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI,” Cage said at #NYCC. “I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/nic…

There’s only one city in the US that starts with the letter X, with more than 1000 people. Xenia, Ohio. Naming a city with X, seems like an over looked opportunity.

California fix infrastructure and taxes and education. Leave us with our robot // human cage fights.
JUST IN: California orders robotics startup REK to stop holding unsanctioned cage fights between humans & humanoid robots.

In software. Not sure it’s true in hardware.
.@sama says the advice to pick one thing to build and pour all your focus into it no longer applies. "The canonical advice that was correct two years ago was, 'Pick one, and put all your effort into it, because you can't build all 30 things.'" "You can now build all 30 things. And you can get people to use them all. And you can work more on the ones that work." "So I think this mindset of lots of ideas, quick feedback, and being open to a lot of things not working is great for this new era for how people build."
