MPSE Bans Projects That Use Generative AI From Golden Reel Awards Consideration
The Motion Picture Sound Editors said Thursday that it will no longer consider projects in which Generative AI is used to create elements for the final soundtrack for the group's annual Golden Reel Awards. The move comes the same day as members of animation, actor and writers guilds gathered at France's Annecy Animation Film Festival to protest the use of the growing technology, which has many in the creative industries wary about what AI means for their creativity, skills and livelihoods. More from Deadline Animation, Writers & Actors Guilds Hold 'Historic' Anti-Generative AI Protest At Annecy: 'GenAI Seeks Not To Support Artists, But To Destroy Them' MPSE Golden Reel Awards: 'Wicked', 'Dune: Part Two', 'Wild Robot' Among Film Winners – Full List Late-Night Talk Emmy Category Reduced To Three Nominations The MPSE's new rules surrounding GenAI will be added to the guidelines for the next Golden Reels, the annual awards ceremony that honors outstanding achievement in sound editing, sound design, music editing and Foley artistry in film, television and gaming. 'We support and prize technological advances that assist artists in their creations,' the MPSE said in a press release today announcing the move. 'However, standards for the legal and ethical use of Generative A.I. have yet to be established and are far from being accepted broadly. What we choose to promote as award-worthy points to how much we value the human endeavor of artistic creation.' The MPSE added that its board of directors and A.I. committee are 'poised to evolve our stance on this issue' and pledged to 'remain open to what the technological future may bring in support of the humans working in the craft of sound editorial.' 'It is an enormous question to ask: how much of our humanity are we willing to give away to technology, especially in the arts?' MPSE president David Barber said. 'The time to ponder that question, set up boundaries, and guide how A.I. is assimilated into our workflow and lives was yesterday. The dam of A.I. has broken, and the waters are upon us. Choosing what we embrace as award-worthy filmmaking is a way of diverting those waters while we grapple with this exponential change. As A.I. technology infiltrates and permeates our industry, rules and accepted practices for its use need to emerge that keep artists at the forefront.'

Mark Zuckerberg Is Reportedly Absolutely Furious at His Own Failure
Mark Zuckerberg, it can't be said enough, is firmly entrenched as the second-richest man in human history. Despite the luxury this unfathomable wealth affords — enough to provide everyone on earth clean drinking water and waste disposal, if he was so inclined — Zuckerberg still feels like he's riding the struggle bus. Most recently, the tech tycoon has reportedly become intensely frustrated at Meta's failure to keep pace in the "AI race" with the likes of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude. Though once set to rival the other America-developed large language models (LLMs), Meta's LlaMA hit the rocks earlier in May, after its latest "lightweight" models received a disappointing reception. By the start of the year, Zuckerberg was reportedly already "agitated" that his rivals were enjoying more success, Meta employees told CNBC. With that air of resentment swirling around him, the CEO began micromanaging Meta's AI ventures, moving resources away from the Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Research team — the company's more scholastic AI group — toward its GenAI team, working on commercial products like LLaMA. Becoming frustrated with the lack of GenAI progress a few weeks later, Zuckerberg then decided to split the GenAI team into two working groups. That move was taken as a sign the CEO had grown aggravated with the team's previous leader, Ahmad Al-Dahle, who was demoted to co-head of the unit. All of this came with a noticeable change in Zuckerberg's attitude, according to Bloomberg. Workers familiar with the tech baron say he's become incredibly picky and hard to please, going into what he calls "founder mode" — a headspace he often inhabits when he feels the crunch to churn a product out. When this happens, Meta employees say they expect to work late nights and weekends, and field constant check-ins about the tiniest details. They also receive meticulous feedback from Zuckerberg himself, who often sets pie-in-the-sky goals that reflect whichever anxieties he's feeling on any given day. And like his rival tech billionaire Elon Musk, Zuckerberg has a penchant for losing interest in previous tasks. "When he moves to a new big thing, plenty of the most loyal workers jump with him," Bloomberg's profile of the CEO notes. "Often when there's still plenty of work to be done, he's on to the next big thing." How long Zuckerberg remains in rage-fueled founder mode this time is anyone's guess. His latest venture involves building out a 50-man "superintelligence unit," presumably a move to catapult Meta's LLMs back into the lead. He kicked that program off with a massive investment in the incredibly shady and is apparently hoping to build an AI brain more capable than a human's. Whether he can keep his attention on that pipe dream as other priorities pop up, though, remains to be seen.
