Chicago film studio forced to return state grant
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cinespace Chicago Film Studios's given back $10 MILLION plus to the state after a Chicago Sun-Times investigation prompted Gov. Bruce Rauner to demand repayment of a state-issued grant The studio where Chicago Fire, Empire, and other TV shows and movies're filmed has found itself in a controversy over state money and real estate deals involved in the expansion of its studios. Cinespace Chicago Film Studios bills itself as the largest film studio complex east of Los Angeles, it's expanded in North Lawndale along the east side of Douglas Park, including taking over and renovating the former Ryerson Steel plant. But last weekend, an investigation by the Sun-Times found the studio'd received millions of dollars to buy land that wasn't even for sale as it looks to expand by buying up properties along Western Avenue. One of those grants, for ten million dollars, was issued by former-Governor Pat Quinn just three weeks before he left office. On Monday, Governor Bruce Rauner ordered Cinespace to give back the grant, his office says its very concerned about the lack of supporting documentation and says the Quinn administration failed to abide by the normal rules for issuing grants. Cinespace'd gotten more than 17 million in grants from Quinn's administration before the final grant, which is the only one that's being returned.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
