Abstract
A television pilot for a reality show that will never be aired, a trailer for a film that will never be made and advertisements for two competing presidential campaigns that will never materialize. In this article, the author discusses the ways in which Francesco Vezzoli’s films ( No-Love Meetings, A Trailer for the Remake of Gore Vidal’s Caligula and Democrazy, respectively) in their appropriation of utterly familiar and pervasive media genres of promotion and publicity are practices of invention: artistic, cultural and political. Addressing consensus, the society of the spectacle and contemporary economies of labor, the author presents a critical assessment of the hyper-mediated and thoroughly scripted real in which we live, and suggests ways to re-think a future that would have been more properly ‘ours’, if only we could re-make it now.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
