    Link... you must find these other Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo.

    “Holiday 2023” could mean any number of specific dates, but the key to getting your hands on these choice Zelda and (hot) Ganon Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo whenever they release is probably going to be having the wherewithal to place a preorder.

    Or, you know, to have an uncle working at Nintendo.

    Marvel’s Secret Invasion is here, and it brought AI-generated grotesquery with it.

    The entire point of Marvel’s Secret Invasion series is to tap into people’s deep, existisitential anxieties about being replaced and destroyed by hostile adversaries. That makes the studio’s choice to create the show’s opening credits sequence with AI-generated art make a certain amount of sense.

    But it’s hard to deny how bad these optics are for Marvel especially at a time when traditional artists are increasingly sounding the alarm about the threat AI-generated art poses to their livelihoods.

    Apparently, Ryan Murphy’s ready to put Netflix behind him, and head over to Disney.

    But now that his Netflix deal has come to a close, Murphy’s reportedly looking to jump ship and head over to Disney — a move one could easily imagine having been his plan all along.

    Lilly Wachowski has very good reasons for voting “no” on the DGA’s deal with the AMPTP.

    The Directors Guild of America has already approved a tentative new labor contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and encouraged members to ratify it by vote.

    But ahead of the voting deadline on June 23rd, a number of directors including Lilly Wachowski have begun speaking out about why they’ve cast “no” ballots, namely: some concerning language in the proposed contract relating to “generative” AI that definitely seems like it could be exploited in nefarious ways.

    Disclosure: The Verge’s editorial staff is also unionized with the Writers Guild of America, East.

    What We Do In The Shadows is finally giving Guillermo what he wants.

    At least that’s what it looks like in the new trailer FX just dropped ahead of What We Do In The Shadows’ premiere next month. It might not be the taste of vampirism that he truly craves, but it’s certainly one he’s earned at this point.
