Well Moffat was an amazing writer - when he wasn't the head show runner also. I'm of the opinion that he did some great work as head of the show also, but it was hit and miss most of the time. Now RTD was also hit and miss, but his hits were awesome at the time. Some of my favorite EVER Who stories are from RTD. Doomsday, amazing. Need I say more? Not to many Who episodes get nominated for a Hugo award after all. At least not before that storyline (I believe Army of Ghosts was also nominated with it) happened.

 

This new guy Churnball? (sorry for the bad spelling I'm sure lol) has never actually written Who before right? But he was doing that other show Moffat works on (or maybe Moffat didn't work on that one, dunno for sure though, sorry!) aka Broadchurch with Tennant etc. So I'm sure the show is in good hands writing wise (for the time bring).

I wont hold my breath until the end of next season, we need to see if he's good at both one offs and main story arcs.  RDT and Moffatt were like yin and yang, take one out of the equation and we end up with meh seasons with occasional good episodes. :p

Same "The Beano" issue as Matt Smith was reading/hiding behind in The Rings of Akhaten.

Not much of a trailer really, but I still got damn chills lol

 

Are any of those people they highlighted like, new companions or father of said companion(s)? Seems odd they would specifically show 3 people like that in a highly anticipated trailer for the show unless they are important somehow :D

I remember more than one being announced and I'm pretty sure Bradly Walsh (the guy with the Beano) was one of them.

 

I'd like this to just be out now, do we have any dates yet?

I believe all three of them are the new Companions.

 

And yes, September-ish.

Three! Wow. I have to admit I always wanted to see these three become full time companions to the doctor.

I'm not sure I like her accent at this point. She talks....weird to me? I mean, I know I have to get used to her and all, but she just sounds a little weird. And no its not because I'm American :D I've been watching British TV shows since the late 70s and I've heard way worse accents than hers ?

 

But hey, the show sure looks good with its new cinematic whatever they are going for, and the little they showed looked good. Roll on Sept. XX whenever it airs! :)

She will do just fine as the Doctor.  The lighting was so dark that I thought I was watching a DC movie.  If you watched this on BBC America then it was 2 minutes of show and 4 minutes of commercial,

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
