#AI #DeepFakes #Doppelgangers #VirtualAvatars #BigData: "In the ongoing, historic Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strike, a major point of contention is how AI and emerging technologies threaten these workers’ creative and intellectual rights. In particular, actors are raising concerns about “digital doubles” — the AI-powered ability to reproduce an actor’s likeness, voice, and appearance, which studios could presumably use (and profit from) in perpetuity, without the actor’s direct participation. Concerned actors are grappling with a question that strikes at the heart of their profession: What are the consequences of having a digital double when your persona is the foundation of your craft and career?"

Today in downtown Flushing I noticed a woman watching me through a window. The moment we made eye contact I froze. She looked almost identical to me—except much older. When I smiled she turned around and vanished into a crowd.

Am I a clone? Did I time travel from the future?

I just found out that Britt Robertson and Danielle Panabaker are not the same person. Next thing I’m gonna find out Elisha Cuthbert wasn’t in Haven. #doppelgangers

Thinking about my setting project, I got a probably crazy idea.

There are two major cities rules by humans but with a conquered doppelgänger population.

What would it be like to run Blades in the Dark there, with all shapeshifters.

I really need to name these cities. That’s my Achilles heel.

I have named the Lich Lords city, Iribad Dariziĝal, the City of Eternal Life.

Saturday at Carrefour! Young boy, maybe 6 years, walked up to me and said "you are Santa Claus?". Sorry to confirm to him "no" but maybe the "son of Santa Claus!" HO-HO-HO!!!

Samedi au Carrefour ! Un jeune garçon, peut-être âgé de 6 ans, s’est approché de moi et m’a dit « tu es le Père Noël ? ». Désolé de lui confirmer « non » mais peut-être le « fils du Père Noël! » HO-HO-HO!!!

I've been doing a speedrun of Trailer Park Boys, and one of the most amazing things to me is that J-Roc is a dead ringer for a young Donald Trump.
