Robin Williams's Daughter On AI, Matthew Lawrence Backlash
Back in 2023, Robin Williams's daughter, Zelda, passionately spoke out against the 'disturbing' idea of artificial intelligence being used to recreate her late dad's voice, with the hugely beloved actor dying by suicide in 2014 at age 63. Robin was famously very protective of the use of his voice work in life, and even feuded with Disney after they used his Aladdin character, the Genie, to sell merchandise. The feud was so dramatic that Robin didn't return for the animated movie's sequel, and Homer Simpson voice actor, Dan Castellaneta, was cast to replace him as the Genie instead. Robin did return for the third movie, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, two years later. And Zelda advocated for her father in a statement that was issued in support of the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild's fight against AI two years ago. She wrote at the time: 'I am not an impartial voice in the SAG's fight against AI. I've witnessed for YEARS how many people want to train these models to create/ recreate actors who cannot consent, like Dad.' 'This isn't theoretical, it is very very real. I've already heard AI used to get his 'voice' to say whatever people want and while I find it personally disturbing, the ramifications go far beyond my own feelings,' she went on. 'Living actors deserve a chance to create characters with their choices, to voice cartoons, to put their HUMAN effort and time into the pursuit of performance.''These recreations are, at the very best, a poor facsimile of greater people, but at their worst, a horrendous Frankensteinian monster, cobbled together from the worst bits of everything this industry is, instead of what it should stand for,' Zelda concluded the post. And this is why people have been left so mad at Matthew Lawrence — who worked with Robin as a child star — after he recently doubled down on his wish to use AI to do 'something really special' in Robin's memory. For reference, Matthew was 12 years old when he played Robin's son Chris in the 1993 movie Mrs. Doubtfire. He was already a pretty established child actor by the time that he landed the role, but he has always been incredibly open about how influential working with Robin on this film was for him. "He stayed a part of my life, you know?' the now-45-year-old star told People earlier this year. 'That movie could have wrapped [and] like everybody else, he could have gone his separate way, but he didn't.''He stayed invested, and he gave me some incredible life lessons that definitely kept me from some dark places at times. And I'll just never be able to thank him enough for that,' Matthew added. In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Matthew shared: 'I didn't quite realize it at the time, but that moment there on set of Mrs. Doubtfire, that those six to eight months were the biggest learning curve anyone can get when it comes to making movies and being an entertainer.' 'And then on top of that, you get a chance to be around Robin Williams, and he takes an investment in you, as he does with people. But in particular, he really took an investment with me,' he went on. "He really quantified what it was to be a real artist for me in the sense that he was definitely, and I worked with some great people, and he was definitely the most brilliant artist I've ever worked with.' 'But on top of that, he had the compassion, he had the humility, and he also had these things that he struggled with,' Matthew noted. 'Man, it's a real shame that he's not with us. There's not a day that goes by that I don't hear his voice,' he then told the publication. 'I even wish, now with artificial intelligence, I kind of want to go to his family and be like: 'Would you guys allow me to use his voice for some sort of creative expression?' Because I hear it every day, in my head.' And Matthew doubled down on his idea to use AI to bring Robin's voice back to the masses during his appearance in Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con video suite on Friday — and it did not go down well with fans. In the conversation, Matthew explained: 'I would love — obviously, with the respect and with the OK from his family — I would love to do something really special with his voice because I know for a generation, that voice is just so iconic.''It's not just the fact that I knew him and worked with him and so it's in my head — it's in everybody's head. And it would be so cool,' Matthew went on, before detailing that the idea came to him after he watched one of Robin's old commercials. 'It's kinda like this very contemporary, modern, almost sort of foreshadowing of what's going on commercial that he did, where he did this computerized voiceover,' Matthew shared. 'And it always stuck with me. And then, during his passing, with the AI coming out, I'm like: 'Man, he's gotta be the voice of AI. He's gotta be the voice in something.' So yeah, I would love to do that.' But this idea sparked instant criticism on social media, with one hugely viral tweet responding to Matthew's quotes simply reading: 'Tell him to fuck off.' 'No. Let the man rest and our memories of him go on,' somebody else wrote, while another tweeted: 'The possibility of exploiting the talent of dead people through AI is sincerely one of its most repugnant uses, utterly disrespectful for artist of the past and the future.' And one more added: 'theres no amount of respect or consent from his family that would ever make it okay to use AI on a person especially if theyve passed away.' Others referenced Zelda's past comments, with one person sharing a screenshot of a news article about her quotes and writing: "Yeah, I doubt Matthew Lawrence is going to get that permission..." "Zelda would never be okay with it. You'll never see him in AI. Don't even bother asking the first time," somebody else wrote: "His daughter, Zelda Williams would absolutely refuse. She absolutely hates it when people use AI to impersonate her father." What do you make of Matthew's comments? Let me know down below!

How Dan Mace Is Making Kindness Go Viral: Inside Beast Philanthropy's Storytelling Super‑Power
Getting involved in Philantropy What happens when you merge cinematic storytelling with philanthropy — and strip away every trick that makes traditional filmmaking sensational? For Dan Mace, the creative force behind Beast Philanthropy, the answer is both simple and profound: you find a way to tell the truth and still move millions. Mace, known for his collaborations with creators like Casey Neistat and for his own award-winning films, wasn't initially convinced that the mix of philanthropy and YouTube's fast-paced attention economy could work. 'I struggle to see these videos getting any more than 5 million views,' he admitted when first approached. Yet, the very first video he directed for Beast Philanthropy soared to 20 million views — and changed the course of his career. 'I then studied that video for a very long time to try and figure out' why it resonated so deeply with audiences. Fast forward 29 months, and Mace has helped grow the Beast Philanthropy channel to 28 million subscribers, with most videos now surpassing 25 million views each. 'When I started, people would constantly say that it's impossible to make philanthropy films 'viral.' With Jimmy Donaldson's (Mr Beast's) dedication and my exceptional team at JOE, we are pulling it off, film by film,' he said. Traditional charity films often swing between two extremes: earnestness that bores or sensationalism that exploits. 'We refuse to do either,' Dan told me. The Beast Philanthropy team instead aims for the sweet spot where entertainment, inspiration, and impact intersect—content you want to watch and feel compelled to share. That alchemy matters because on this channel every view literally funds the mission: 100 percent of ad revenue, brand deals, and merch profit flow straight back into projects on the ground. Dan Mace is a creative and visionary Filmmaker, Youtuber, CCO (Chief Creative Officer) for Beast ... More Philanthropy and the founder of JOE and ALL OF US Studios in Cape Town. For Mace, storytelling has always been about emotion — the ability to make people feel something real. But philanthropy posed a unique challenge. 'With philanthropy, and especially with BEAST, everything that we say, everything we do, is 100% true,' he explained. 'Sometimes, as a director, I think I could make this seem a lot more impactful by framing it differently, but we have to focus on being really, really honest and still make it gripping. It's a fascinating challenge.' Music is one of the tools he uses to shape that honesty into something powerful. 'We score all the films ourselves,' Mace said. 'That really helps when you have the ability to control the emotion through music, you can work people towards a crescendo with different motifs.' He often records authentic sounds on location — the footsteps, voices, and rhythms of the communities they're filming — and weaves these elements into the score to make the films feel alive and deeply personal. Beast Philanthropy is not just about creating content — it's about creating change. Every view directly fuels real-world impact. 'The sums of money that come in through philanthropy that goes straight back into philanthropy is insane,' Mace said. Unlike most charities, 100% of the revenue from ads, brand deals, merchandise, and donations goes directly to the causes. MrBeast personally covers the production costs, ensuring every penny raised is put to work. But for Mace, the most powerful moments aren't on camera. 'They're not these really aesthetic pieces of content,' he said. 'They're just legitimately sending you a video over WhatsApp, thanking you and going like, you know, this is, look at the impact it's made on the community. And that for me is the most special part.' The scale of Beast Philanthropy's work is staggering. In the past two years, the team has launched 30+ films spanning more than 20 countries, delivering everything from life-saving surgeries to solar-powered villages. They've built homes for orphans in South Africa, provided 20,000 pairs of shoes for school children, and funded 100 heart surgeries for children in Nigeria. In Asia, they've powered a mountain hospital and birthing center in Nepal, given 2,200 prosthetic limbs in Cambodia, and rebuilt shelters for hundreds of animals in Thailand. In the U.S. alone, the channel has donated over $2.7 million in clothing, 13 tons of food, $1 million in dental surgeries, and supported teachers, hospitals, and mental health organizations. 'When I look back at the projects we've brought to life across the globe, I'm so humbled,' Mace said. 'Creativity truly has the ability to change the world.' Mace approaches YouTube storytelling with the same precision he learned during his years in advertising. His formula? Impact, communication, and persuasion. 'The hook up front, this is why,' he explained. 'Once you get into the video and the hook suggests that yes, the film is indeed going to show you what you've clicked on, you go into this level of communication, and that's where you solve the emotion throughout that communication part. The persuasive elements at the end… that's transforming in those last 30 seconds of the film, giving people the ability that now they really want to be involved.' This structure ensures that viewers are not just entertained but also moved — inspired to share, donate, or simply see the world in a new way. When Mace joined Beast Philanthropy, he wanted to create something with more depth than the flashy giveaways that defined early videos. 'The videos prior were kind of… bubblegum,' he said. 'They were throwing money down and had these little explosion animations. It's just not what I was interested in.' Today, every video is designed like a cinematic mini-documentary. A project in Colombia, for example, powered a remote island but also gave women a path to financial independence by creating a bakery. 'Does the creation of a bakery on an island sound as clickable as 'We Powered an Island'?' Mace asked. 'Probably not. But once we get them to click, we can introduce the deeper story — like women's empowerment — and keep them engaged through authentic storytelling.' For Mace, Beast Philanthropy offers viewers a simple yet powerful way to contribute. 'There's this notion where it's like, okay, there's so many problems in the world, which there is,' he said. 'If you go and you just view a Beast Philanthropy video, a simple view is giving back.' Even young audiences are finding inspiration in the work. 'There's been comments of kids saving their tooth fairy money to donate a few dollars to the charity,' he shared. 'That stuff is just incredible for youth. It's given a lot of hope' Our conversation ends with a mutual sense of wonder at what storytelling can still achieve. 'I've stopped trying to be the best,' Dan says quietly. 'Now I just want to share what I've learned. Because there are so many amazing organizations out there doing incredible work—but no one sees them. And views? Views create hope.' Beast Philanthropy proves that storytelling, when done with honesty and heart, can turn attention into real impact. With just one click, a viewer can spark donations, amplify awareness, and help change lives. In a world overloaded with content, these stories stand out because they remind us that even the smallest action can make a difference.

Home Depot now has an app-controlled version of its viral Halloween skeleton
The summer isn't halfway over, and Home Depot already wants you to start thinking about Halloween. After introducing a limited-edition animated version of its 12-foot-tall skeleton decoration last year, the hardware company is hoping for more viral fame this year with a new Ultra Skelly. At 6.5 feet tall, it's much smaller than the original towering Skelly, but Ultra Skelly features more animated features, additional lighting effects, and the ability to talk to trick-or-treaters through a mobile app. Ultra Skelly's upper torso and head can both rotate independently using motors, while the skeleton's right arm can move up and down. It has LED lights in its mouth and chest, as well as LCD-screen eyes (the larger Skelly has the same eyes), which can display one of 18 different animations, including cat eyes, hypnotic swirls, or even the waving stars and stripes for those who want to reuse the skeleton for July Fourth. It includes five prerecorded Halloween-themed phrases that play while the skeleton's animated mouth moves. You can also record up to 30 custom 30-second messages with voice-changing effects — or speak directly through Ultra Skelly using the mobile app while it's connected over Bluetooth. The original $299 12-foot Skelly will be available as usual this year, going on sale on August 4th through Home Depot's retail locations, online store, and mobile app. The new Ultra Skelly will be just slightly cheaper at $279. There are also several other options besides original Skelly and Ultra Skelly. There are new 5-foot dog ($249) and cat ($199) skeletons with animated LCD eyes, a new animated troll ($249) with a spiked club in hand, an 8-foot motion-activated animated dragon with a glowing and color-changing chest ($399), and an imposing 15-foot animated scarecrow ($399) with flickering LED lights in its eyes and mouth. And, finally, the 7-foot animated Frankenstein's monster ($279) introduced last year will no longer be scaring kids alone. He'll be joined by a new 6-foot bride of Frankenstein ($279) with six animated movements, animated LCD eyes, and four prerecorded phrases.
