One imagines Kane Parsons is less than pleased. Google is investing $75 million in the film studio A24 and the companies are teaming up to develop, wait for it, AI tools. Google says the partnership aims to expand what is possible in the future of entertainment. The multiyear deal doesn't give Google access to A24's library of film and television, so we won't have to suffer through a sloppified sequel to just yet. Instead, the companies will develop tools that assist with various aspects of filmmaking.

The filmmaker behind "One Battle After Another" specializes in stories about people who are cut off, adrift, desperately seeking connection. His films are studies of American loneliness. The director plunges us into the physical realization of experience with a thoroughness that can be unsettling. What is the sound of a needle entering fabric? Something more significant, it seems, than the sound of one hand clapping. You hear a tiny pop followed by the rustle of violated muslin--a shudder in the silence of the universe. Scrupulous directors make sure that the sound of their movies is grossly efficient, so that the dramatic meaning of a scene is apparent even in the worst theatre or home system in the country. They also layer in, for those who care about such things, a secondary level of sound--think of the swishing skirts in Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence." In " Phantom Thread " (2017)--the needle-and-fabric movie--the director, Paul Thomas Anderson, uses such details to build an exquisitely perceptible epic of minute events.

One icy morning in February, nearly 200 people gathered in a church in downtown Richmond, Va. Most had awakened before dawn and driven in from across the state. There were Republicans and Democrats from rural farms and D.C. exurbs. They shared one goal: to fight back against AI development in a region with the largest concentration of data centers in the world. "Aren't you tired of being ignored by both parties, and having your quality of life and your environment absolutely destroyed by corporate greed?" state senator Danica Roem said, to a standing ovation. The activists--wearing homemade shirts with slogans like Boondoggle: Data Center in Botetourt County--marched to the state capitol and spent the day testifying to lawmakers about their fears over data centers' impacts on electricity, water, noise pollution, and more. Some lawmakers pledged to help: "You're getting a sh-t deal," state delegate John McAuliff told activists. The phrase captured many people's feelings toward the AI industry as a whole. Not much unites Americans these days.
