I hope it's not Emilia Clarke though if it was I have a feeling her recent scene wasn't her, a massive body change since Season 1

In a recent report by Tower of the Hand, an esteemed fansite for A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, it was confirmed by none other than George R.R. Martin himself that casting for season 4 of Game of Thrones has well and truly begun.

The confirmation came during a Q&A session at ConQuesT 44 in Kansas City. Notes on the content of this session have been recorded on Tower of the Hand, here. The report states that:

?Auditions are being held now for season 4 ? including the Magnar, Mace Tyrell and OBERYN MARTELL!!?

I have only watched the first season and part of the second, starting next week our weekly show night/ game night, we will start watching Game of Thrones now that Doctor Who is over.

I'd stay out the thread :p

Yeah I thought the same, body double!

I thought certain shots were a double which makes no sense.

why didn't it make sense?

:wacko:

The one that looked like her was the most revealing. If you're going to do one, do the whole thing.

The double definitely does not have her butt, which was quite memorable from season 1. :D

'Game of Thrones' is casting new characters for season 4

Game of Thrones' cast is like the mythical hydra: for every character they kill off, two more pop up the next season. It's looking like that'll be the case for the show's fourth season, which airs next year; Game of Thrones is already casting new characters, according to creator George R.R. Martin.

At a recent fan convention, Martin named off several new faces who would be joining the series in 2014 (mild spoilers follow).

Auditions are currently being held for the roles of Styr the Magnar of Thenn, Mace Tyrell, and Oberyn Martell. Don't read the books/have forgotten who those characters are? Here's a quick rundown for you:

Styr the Magnar of Thenn is a wildling leader allied with Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds). Styr's role in the books has largely been replaced in the series by Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), so bringing in the character at this point means that the show is continuing to deviate from its source material (not unlike the introduction of Mackenzie Crook's character Orell).

Mace Tyrell is the father of Margaery (Natalie Dormer), and is a rather incompetent and fat Lord (it's the women who control the power in House Tyrell). He'll be arriving for his daughter's wedding to Prince Joffrey, which is pretty much confirmed now to be taking place in season 4.

Oberyn Martell, also known as the Red Viper, is the fan favorite of the bunch. He comes from the southernmost part of Westeros, Dorne, and is called to sit on the King's small council as a representative. He does have an ulterior motive, for making the trip, though -- and it involves the very dangerous Ser Gregor Clegane.

What the ****. I've never been so shocked in my life.

At first, I was like...

And then, I was like...

I knew something was up when the doors closed. And when Catelyn Tully revealed the chain-mail under Roose Bolton's clothing. Even so, I thought Robb and Talisa Stark (and his mother) would get away. The shock hit me the hardest when Talisa was stabbed to death in her stomach. My goodness, I've never been this shocked even by Ned Stark's death at the end of season 1.

Wow!

Talisa's manner of death was really shocking and terrible.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
