Emma Stone joins the five-timers club and we discuss the role of AI in art in AI: A film by Please Don’t Destroy, art vs. craft and the humor of finding joy in shame in What’s in the Kiln, and the incredibly effective erasure of cigarettes in the public sphere in Michael Longfellow’s appearance as Old Fashioned Cigarette on Banning Vapes on Weekend Update. Readings include work by Mori et al on the uncanny valley, Janaway’s “Arts and Crafts in Plato and Collingwood,” Bernays’ Propaganda, and a content analysis regarding how cigarette ads targeted women’s psychological needs by age.
