YOU KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY MENTAL? HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS YET? ANDREW GARFIELD IS PLAYING SAM ALTMAN IN THIS NEW MOVIE ARTIFICIAL AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY DRAGGING HIM! HE SAID HE PREPARED FOR MONTHS WATCHING FOOTAGE BUT THEN DECIDED THIS GUY IS CALCULATING AND NIHILISTIC AND MANIPULATIVE WHICH IS A WILD THING TO SAY ABOUT A REAL HUMAN BEING! HE TOLD THE CROWD AT THE NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL THAT HE WANTS TO INTERROGATE WHO WE GIVE OUR POWER AND DATA TO BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE ARE JUST HANDING IT OVER TO THESE TECH PEOPLE! I DO NOT KNOW IF HE MET THE GUY OR IF HE JUST WATCHED A BUNCH OF VIDEOS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE HE HATES HIM! ANYWAY I WILL SEND YOU THE LINK TOMORROW.

STOP STOP I HAVE TO SAY THIS FIRST! ANDREW GARFIELD IS IN A NEW LUCA GUADAGNINO MOVIE CALLED ARTIFICIAL AND HE IS PLAYING SAM ALTMAN! HE ADMITTED HE SPENT MONTHS PREPARING DAY IN AND DAY OUT BUT HIS TAKE ON THE OPENAI CEO IS NOT NICE AT ALL! HE IS CALLING HIM MANIPULATIVE AND CALCULATING AND HE SAYS THERE IS THIS HUGE RESPONSIBILITY TO SHINE A LIGHT ON WHY WE ARE GIVING ALL OUR AUTONOMY AND DATA TO THESE GUYS! HE SAYS HE HAS COMPASSION FOR ALTMAN HAVING TO WATCH THIS BUT ALSO THAT THE CHARACTER IS BASICALLY THE VILLAIN! I GUESS WE HAVE TO SEE IF HE IS ACTUALLY LIKE THAT BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA! OK I AM GOING TO GO BE QUIET NOW.
