Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

decades of freemium/loss leader products saturating the web have addled our brain
