Actress Charisma Carpenter voices concern over AI use in casting; company defends its platform against critics

Thousands of actors strike; Hollywood bracing

Screen Actors Guild votes to launch strike for the first time in 40 years over ‘greed’ and AI concerns, and Fox News’ Griff Jenkins says consumers will ‘suffer’ as a result.

Many members of the workforce are dependent upon human interaction to further their careers, including actors in a casting office. However, some stars are voicing their concerns over fears their performance will be determined by artificial intelligence.

“Veronica Mars” actress Charisma Carpenter is sounding the alarm on AI infiltrating the entertainment industry as SAG-AFTRA members have joined the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in striking against Hollywood. AI is one of the disputed issues that led to the strike.

After receiving an email inviting her to join the 100 Actors Program, an opportunity organized by Swiss company Largo.ai, Charisma took to Instagram to share her concern.

In response to her post, other actors expressed worries about a potential disruption to the traditional casting process.

“Welp, AI is coming for Casting Directors, Agents and Managers too. Seen as “intermediaries”. AI protections across the board,” Carpenter wrote on Instagram.

On its website, Largo.ai says it is “designed to empower traditional content creation workflows and help producers, distributors, and studios make smarter, more informed decisions.”

“Charisma Carpenter has never seen our platform, and we didn’t have any discussion with her,” CEO Sami Arpa told Fox News Digital. “She has criticized one of the promotional emails that she got from one of our team members. I’m sure if she sees our platform and understands what we do, she would think differently. We asked her to have a chat, but we didn’t get any response so far.

“This is perceived by casting directors as if we want to take them out of the game. We designed the platform for the usage of both actors, casting directors and talent agencies. It is the actor’s decision to work directly on the platform or through agencies.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to a rep for Carpenter for comment.

Arpa also noted in a separate statement that the company “is in full support of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike” and its AI tool was “developed to empower and support creators through the power of technology and not utilize AI to replace anyone.” He explained that the actors’ program, which is still in the “beta process,” has elicited a “certain misinterpretation within the acting community.”

“We will use this as a learning tool for growth. Our mission is to provide more access and creation of job opportunities for both actors and are not involved in Deepfake creation or any unauthorized use of actors’ performances or voices. Our AI tools are totally different here,” he noted. “Our platform is dedicated to empowering actors, providing enhanced visibility and making AI as a part of the preliminary casting process.”

Stars including “Yellowjackets” actress Melanie Lynskey voiced mutual disdain for the new technology, writing in the comments of Carpenter’s post, “Having ‘intermediaries’ who believe in you and think of you for those roles that might not seem 100% right for you but they know you can do it, is how an actor builds a career. This is nuts.”

“The Lake” actor Jordan Gavaris shared his outrage, writing, “This is absolute lunacy. The only reason I’ve ever had a job is because casting championed me for amorphous reasons. AI will never be a fan.”

In his statement, Arpa encouraged “actors and industry members to contact us, share their perspectives and engage in an open dialogue.”

HOLLYWOOD WRITERS’ STRIKE HIGHLIGHTS AI: INDUSTRY CREATIVES ‘SHOULD BE CONCERNED’ FOR FUTURE, EXPERT SAYS

“There are assertions suggesting that our aim is to replace all industry professionals with automation,” Arpa added. “However, one must consider who would then be our clients then? In reality, we actively collaborate with industry professionals such as producers, distributors, studios and actors. 

“Furthermore, we are keen on establishing partnerships with casting directors and talent agencies. Our objective is to integrate the tools into their work, enhancing their capabilities with innovative technology. (Used) correctly, AI tools can collectively help us to make the industry better altogether and create much more job opportunities. Our system diversifies opportunities beyond industry averages, often uncovers lesser-known talents, thus creating opportunities for those who might otherwise be overlooked.”

Abe Lichy, partner and chair of the intellectual property practice at McLaughlin & Stern, expounded on the overall concerns of this new type of tool.

“There could be legal implications that arise involving claims over errors and omissions in the AI’s recommendations of certain actors. Whereas a human takes into account an actor’s full background and story and conducts a subjective analysis, AI only processes previously existing content. What happens if an actor is recommended by an AI that recommends an actor who is flakey and has a tendency to be unprofessional,” Lichy wondered.

“This is something a human casting director would be way better suited to uncover before making a recommendation. Now, the studio is stuck with someone who isn’t doing their job properly because of an AI’s failure to flag this type of human element. The bigger question is – if a ‘corporation’ can be defined as a ‘person,’ at what point does an artificial intelligence share in that definition.”

In separate comments to Deadline, Carpenter echoed those sentiments, stating “AI is not a belief system.”

“They may take data and statistics and spit out a formula that says this person is right for this part, but there’s no foresight. … AI doesn’t know me, they don’t know the richness of my soul. They don’t know my life experiences. They don’t know the books I’ve read. They’ve never had those conversations with me to glean how right I am for a part that maybe data would not foresee.”

“I have had wonderful casting directors that have brought me back time and time again to get me employed,” Carpenter said. “I really am hard pressed to see what the advantage is to actors going this route.”

Lichy says there are steps those in Hollywood can take to protect themselves from this kind of AI.

“There’s no realistic way to outright ban its use,” Lichy said. “However, there are ways actors and industry stakeholders can protect themselves and mitigate the risk. SAG-AFTRA, for example, could protect Hollywood projects, casting directors, actors, etc. … by instituting requirements that films with an estimated budget above a certain amount use human casting directors.  

“At the end of the day, I don’t think AI could replace the human qualities required for effective casting.  Films are an art form, and the actors that bring scripts to life are best cast when the totality of the actor is taken into account for various roles.”

WATCH: JUSTINE BATEMAN EXPLAINS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MAKES HER ‘SAD’

Prior to SAG-AFTRA joining the strike, former actress turned producer Justine Bateman similarly highlighted to Fox News Digital why she believed AI was detrimental to the entertainment industry.

“The use of AI makes me sad because I feel like it’s … getting away from being human,” she explained. “But we’ve been doing a lot of that, right? Plastic surgery. Filters. Doing things over Zoom instead of in person. But the idea that somebody would use AI to replace human expression, I think, is the saddest thing to me.”

Nicki Minaj will be a playable character in Call of Duty

Call of Duty Season 5 will feature Nicki Minaj as the first ever female celebrity “Operator” playable character, Activision announced. She’ll appear in Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 as part of CoD’s “50 Years of Hip Hop Celebration,” along with Snoop Dogg and 21 Savage. 

Other celebrities including Lionel Messi, Kevin Durant and Snoop Dogg (multiple times now) have appeared in CoD in the past. Minaj, however is “Call of Duty’s first-ever self-named female Operator,” the developer noted. “Playtime is over; this is not ‘Chill Nicki’; this is Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” it added, referencing Minaj’s track and video released earlier this year.

Minaj will appear and have her own storefront later in Season 5, with items for sale likely including the hot pink rifle pictured above. Minaj’s appearance was previewed last year in a YouTube video called Squad Up, which also featured Lil Baby, Bukayo Saka, and Pete Davidson — though there’s no word if those people will also appear in CoD at some point. 

The Season 5 website also shows information on the 9mm ISO sub machine, the AN-94 assault rifle and other weapons. CoD also previewed multiplayer additions like new maps for Livestock and Petrov Oil Rig. Meanwhile, Warzone 2.0 adds new locations like Verdansk Stadium. Season 5 will also include a reveal of the upcoming Call of Duty 2023 (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3) — in Warzone. Season 05 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone are set to launch on August 2 at 9 AM PT across all platforms.

Comic Creators Hit the Picket Line: “It’s a Love That Gets Exploited”

With great corporate power should come great responsibility. And with that ethos in mind, comic book creators joined Writers Guild of America members on the picket line Thursday, protesting what they called the exploitation of the most vulnerable.

About 40 or so creators (some WGA members, some not) joined the proceedings at one of the gates outside of NBCUniversal on Lankershim Boulevard, with writers such as Eisner winner Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian), Marc Bernardin (Adora and the Distance, Picard), Jeremy Adams (Green Lantern),  David Avallone (Elvira), Emmy winners Shawna and Julie Benson (Batgirls and the Birds of Prey), and Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson (Skyward). Rantz Hoseley, the Eisner-winning editor-in-chief of Z2 comics and independent filmmaker, organized the gathering.

“This is one of those pivotal moments in history,” Hoseley, taking a moment in the shade of the NBCUniversal tower, told The Hollywood Reporter. “The idea of recognized authorship, the controls and limitations of corporate use of AI and elimination of human creators — comic book creators are interested in the outcome because these are things that affect all of us.”

Comics, especially those published by Marvel and DC, have been the engines of the movies business since the 2000s. Marvel Studios movies alone have grossed almost $30 billion worldwide, yet the writers and artists behind its stories and characters have mostly seen little in recompense. Marvel creators, for example, generally receive $5,000 when their characters appear in Marvel movies, while TV appearances can be just a few hundred dollars.

“You have comic book creators and writers and artists that can’t even afford to get health insurance,” said Deric A. Hughes, who has written both television scripts for shows such as Flash and Arrow as well as comics. “They had to go do GoFund Me to ask people to pay for their health coverage.”

Among those creators who have turned to crowdfunding for help is War Machine co-creator Len Kaminski, with a GoFundMe launched in May following car accident.

Hughes noted that writer and artists have historically been taken advantage of, even in publishing heydays.  

“They were never given a piece of the pie years ago, and it is that exploitation that carried over once these corporations got involved. The least protected will be most exploited,” Hughes said.

The plight of the indie comic creator may be even more dire. Hoseley, who has served an editorial roles at Heavy Metal, Dark Horse Comics and Fantagraphics, said the margins are low (or even negative) for most creators who are toiling at night, raising money for printing, and trying to find comic shops that will give them shelf space.

“They do it because they love the medium, and it’s a love that gets exploited,” said Hughes.

The comic creators on the picket line wanted higher minimums for their work, as well as transparency from streamers. They would also like to see studios paying more to acquire the rights to characters for film and TV.

“The option fees are ridiculously low. For a studio to pay $100,000 for the acquisition plus backend, it’s nothing to their bottom line,” said Hoseley. “But for an independent comic book creator, that is literally life-changing money. That is money that ensures that a comic creator can feed their family, that they can have a degree of stability if terms of housing, good, child care. The inequity here is staggering and frustrating.”

AI is another concern for the writers, with Hughes noting he heard that one person in Artist Alley at San Diego Comic-Con was asked to leave when it was discovered that this person was selling AI-generated art.

But Hoseley said the corporation should fear this beast as well, and that it’s plausible AI could be used to create unauthorized fan-fiction to compete with what the studios are making.

Said Hoseley: “You’re putting yourself in the position where your trademarked IP, which is your entire value to your stockholder, is slipping through your fingers.”

J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Grandson Says He “Definitely Would Have Removed” One Scene in Christopher Nolan’s Film

J. Robert Oppenheimer’s grandson, Charles Oppenheimer, is revealing what scene from Christopher Nolan’s film he “definitely would have removed.”

During an interview with Time magazine, published online Tuesday, Charles opened up about what he would have changed in Oppenheimer, which follows the story of his American scientist grandfather and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.

Although he noted that Nolan warned him that there were going to be parts in the movie “that you have to dramatize a bit and parts that are changed,” Charles would have preferred the scene where Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer tried to kill his professor by injecting cyanide into an apple not have been included in the film.

“The part I like the least is this poison apple reference,” he said, due to its historical inaccuracy. But Charles explained that he was previously not pleased with that section in the 2006 biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, which is what Nolan’s screenplay is based on.

“If you read American Prometheus carefully enough, the authors say, ‘We don’t really know if it happened,” he said. “There’s no record of him trying to kill somebody. That’s a really serious accusation and it’s historical revision. There’s not a single enemy or friend of Robert Oppenheimer who heard that during his life and considered it to be true.”

Charles said the biography still “summarizes that as Robert Oppenheimer tried to kill his teacher” even though it also acknowledges that there was no historical proof of it happening.

“Sometimes facts get dragged through a game of telephone,” he told the outlet. “In the movie, it’s treated vaguely and you don’t really know what’s going on unless you know this incredibly deep backstory. So it honestly didn’t bother me. It bothers me that it was in the biography with that emphasis, not a disclaimer of, this is an unsubstantiated rumor that we want to put in our book to make it interesting.”

But overall, Charles said he enjoyed some of the dramatizations throughout the film. “As a dramatized representation of the history, it was really largely accurate,” he explained. “There are parts that I disagree with, but not really because of Nolan.”

He also noted that he was invited to visit the set twice while filming and although he “definitely would have removed the apple thing,” he couldn’t imagine “giving advice about movie stuff to Nolan. He’s an expert, he’s the artist, and he’s a genius in this area.”

Oppenheimer is currently playing in theaters.

My butt is so big it breaks toilet seats — people are still jealous

She’s learned to turn the other cheek.

While some may be jealous of her far-reaching fanny, a UK TikToker is revealing the downsides of her bulky backside.

The woman, who goes by Mango and posts under @herroyalthighness, often uploads clips detailing the difficulties of navigating life with a bodacious bum.

“You say you want a big bunda, but do you know what actually comes with that?” Mango asked users.

In one clip, she tells viewers that not even the toilet seat is safe from her hefty hindquarters.

“If you ever come across a toilet where the seat is broken at the back like this, a big bunda was there,” she quipped.

She then admits it’s harder to rock an oversized look.

Showing a picture of pop star Adriana Grande in a large yellow sweater that reaches her mid-thighs, Mango said that’s not something she can mimic.

“Good luck trying to rock this cute oversized clothes aesthetic,” she explained. “Looks good from the front, but when you turn around, the aesthetic gives more aunty vibes than anything else.” 

“You say you want a big bunda, but do you know what actually comes with that?” Mango asked her followers.Tiktok / herroyalthighness

“The bunda has a life of itself,” she laughed. “It will relentlessly knock anything out of its way.”Tiktok / herroyalthighness

Another issue the TikToker faces is squeezing past people in crowded places like cinemas, restaurants, and aisles — calling it “embarrassing.”

“The bunda has a life of itself,” she laughed. “It will relentlessly knock anything out of its way.”

In other clips, she added that the arms of sofas are hard to sit on, jogging can sometimes garner her unwanted attention, and her butt is “always cold.”

“It’s a large surface area,” she joked.

“Looks good from the front, but when you turn around, the aesthetic gives more aunty vibes than anything else,” she said about trying to wear Ariana Grande’s look.TikTok/@herroyalthighness

The Post reached out to the TikToker for comment.

Many users could relate to her stories, saying they experience the same things with their titanic tushes.

“The toilet really got me,” one commented. “My dad didn’t understand why the toilet seat is always broken at home.”

“It has no spatial awareness,” commented another. “I destroy everything in my path.”

“With great power comes great responsibilities,” declared a third.

Judge tosses suit that alleged Kraft mac & cheese took longer than 3.5 minutes to make

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit accusing Kraft Heinz of misleading consumers by promising it takes only 3-1/2 minutes to prepare a cup of microwavable Velveeta macaroni and cheese.

US District Judge Beth Bloom in Miami said consumer Amanda Ramirez lacked standing to pursue the proposed $5 million class action or force Kraft Heinz to change its packaging.

Ramirez objected to packaging that said her macaroni and cheese would be “ready in 3-1/2 minutes” because it did not include time to remove the lid, add water and stir in a cheese sauce pouch.

Bloom said Ramirez never alleged that she could not eat nor had even tried to cook the Velveeta Shells & Cheese she bought, or that it was “so flawed as to be rendered useless.”

The judge also found no threat of future injury because Ramirez, from Hialeah, Fla., now knows that the 3-1/2 minutes represents only the time needed to microwave the product, which directions on the packaging made clear.

The plaintiff objected to packaging that said her macaroni and cheese would be “ready in 3-1/2 minutes” because it did not include time to remove the lid, add water and stir in a cheese sauce pouch.REUTERS

She said the product was sold at a “premium price” of $10.99 for eight 2.4-ounce cups, and that she wouldn’t have bought it had she “known the truth.”

Lawyers for Ramirez did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Kraft Heinz and its lawyers did not immediately respond to similar requests.

If You Want To Find Haunted Mansion’s Deepest Easter Egg, Look To The Paintings [Exclusive]

For any filmmaker coming aboard to make a film with Disney, there are limitless possibilities and opportunities to dig into the history and lore of the company. Whether you’re exploring the vast canon of “Star Wars” canon at Lucasfilm or the nearly 70-year lineage of Disneyland and Disney World, there’s a rich tapestry of stories and imagery to tap into. With “Haunted Mansion,” Simien loved diving into the research side of the process. When asked where Easter egg hunters should be looking, Simien offered us a significant clue for where the most obscure or interesting references might be found:

“I would say, look at the paintings. Because some of them, we pull your eyes to the paintings that change and sometimes we don’t pull your eyes to the paintings that change. And literally everything that moves in this movie is based upon some deep-cut knowledge and research [laughs].”

Originally hailing from New Orleans, Simien was able to bring in his cousin Jeremy, an art historian based in The Big Easy, to help with the staggering amount of research he and his team embarked on.

If I were to guess, there’s one portrait in particular to keep an eye on in “Haunted Mansion.” As glimpsed in the trailer, actor LaKeith Stanfield saunters down a hallway where a portrait keeps changing every time he passes it. It’s a clear reference to one of the actual portraits featured on the ride showing a skeleton, a ghost ship, and a young woman transforming into Medusa. The art gallery displayed in the infamous haunted stretching room should also offer up a ton of clues and will most likely be a key sequence early on.

Twitter rebrands its Android app with the new X logo

Twitter updated its Android app today by replacing the iconic bird logo with its new X logo — the latest step in its ongoing rebranding efforts.

The company also updated its app listing on the Google Play Store to reflect the new branding with screenshots of the app with black backgrounds and the X logo. The social network has tried to make sure that there is no Twitter branding visible in these screengrabs.

Image Credits: Google Play/X

“The X app is the trusted digital town square for everyone,” the app’s description reads. The company also mentioned that users are able to upload and watch videos up to 3 hours long in the app details. However, the Twitter Blue support page says that subscribers can upload videos up to 2 hours long.

Notably, the company’s Twitter Lite app still has all the Twitter branding. But it’s not surprising given that the app was last updated in May 2021.

Earlier this week, the social media company changed its official handle from @twitter to @X along with other affiliated handles shedding the “Twitter” moniker. The owner of the original @X, Gene X Hwang of the corporate photography and videography studio Orange Photography, told TechCrunch that the company just took over the handle without any warning or compensation. In a letter, the company offered Hwang  a tour of X’s HQ and X merchandise a “reflection of our appreciation.”

Kenya’s FarmWorks raises $4M pre-Series A funding

FarmWorks, a Kenyan agtech that provides farmers with access to farm inputs, and market for their produce, has raised $4.1 million in a pre-Series A round led by Acumen Resilient Agriculture Fund, an existing investor. Livelihood Impact Fund, Vested World, a number of family offices, and angel investors also participated in the round that brought the total equity funding raised by FarmWorks to $5.6 million.

FarmWorks CEO, Yi Li, who co-founded the startup with Peter Muthee in 2020, told TechCrunch that they will use the funding to strengthen their data analytics capabilities, and use AI to enhance production, and influence planting and lending decisions.

FarmWorks runs an out-grower scheme that brings together over 2,000 smallholder farmers, which has helped it to build a supply chain network that ensures timely delivery of quality produce. It plans to grow its network of contract farmers in other regions within Kenya, in addition to the two counties in the central region of the country, where it is currently operational and has 16 collection centers.

The startup provides farmers with farm inputs, and pest control services, and buys their produce for export, or local sales. It also provides them with farming equipment like drip irrigation kits, on loan.

“We are transforming what they are farming, and their income by introducing higher value crops like sugar snaps and snow peas, and finding the market. So, we become vertically-integrated from day-one in both the production and the distribution side of the business,” said Li.

The startup is tapping gaps in Kenya’s agriculture sector, which accounts for 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 70% of people in the rural areas, according to this report. However, while agriculture remains a critical sector for the Kenyan economy, small scale farmers, who are the majority, are faced with a myriad of challenges, including lack of quality farm inputs, information on good agricultural practices, inadequate advisory support, and unpredictable or unreliable markets.

The startup also teaches the farmers on good agricultural practices, which it demonstrates on its own trial farms.

“We have a strong belief that the huge issue facing farmers in Kenya is production — the low yield is mainly due to poor farming practices, and soil degradation that has happened over the years,” said Li, who added that the startup is unlocking production and by boosting farmers’ capacity. The startup sells about 400 tons of farm produce a month.

FarmWorks previously engaged in crop production on its own farms, which it has now turned into training centers.

“There’s a lot of operational expenditure in running a big farm, and we realized that for the same efforts, we can cover a lot more farmers. That is why this year, we made a strategic decision to scale our out-grower scheme because that seemed to pick up much faster. We will be using our farms as training centers,” said Li. Li previously worked in Kenya as a management consultant for McKinsey, prior to launching FarmWorks with Muthee, who has been in the agriculture space for nearly three decades.
