Are small theaters starting to do everything with AI now?

Earlier this year I told my local community theater I wouldn't run any shows next year that had AI front and center in the promotion / production, they just recently released the posters for next year's shows and all but 1 was AI (and they have since redone that poster and I am pretty sure it is AI now). Additionally most of the images they use as prop photos are AI generated. I've been told that as a small theater they don't have the time/money to use real posters.
I'm going to look for other theaters or maybe just move do doing live music. I've only done theater with this theater so I have zero perspective on how other theaters do their promotion, is this just some theaters or will I have a hard time finding a place I feel comfortable with (that doesn't do everything with AI?) Even flyers are AI generated, they made a flyer for the memorial of the founder of the theater and the image and QR code were obviously AI generated (QR didn't work and had grey off-grid pixels)

The executive director told me she'd try to ensure the posters for the kids musicals are real since I'm one of the only people there that can handle those mic counts, but I don't plan on staying much longer.

They have been using AI for posters and such since AI was able to generate 'convincing' posters, its not exactly new, but I don't want to associate myself with that slop anymore (and the executive director has claimed they have a no-AI policy, so it isn't a tough ask). They aren't even checking the posters before they publish them, in one of the posters all the people's hands are dildos (I checked with the play director and marketing director and it very much was not intentional, and has not been fixed so far)

Extruder stops 2mm above bed then claims probe cannot detect bed

I just got a new hotend for my FLSUN T1, and now when calibrating it stops 2mm above the build plate then whines about how the probe didn't detect anything. Is there any way to tell it to go another couple millimeters? Do I have to insert a temporary 2mm plate during calibration then in the slicer add an offset of -2mm? (would that even work?)

Has Fairlight always been this buggy?

I recently begun a project that pretty primarily uses Fairlight, and I've encountered an insane number of bugs:

  1. compressor presets not working unless you un-re-toggle the gate and compressor

2

  1. .

(overall issue, not just fairlight, but never had it happen before)

  1. performance dropping to seconds per frame until restart (if I'm lucky a project will last an hour before this happens, though some of the other bugs make this rare)

setting playback resolution to quarter seems to fix, but I haven’t been able to have a long enough session for it to matter anyways.

6

And countless other bugs I’ve only had happen once and not noted down.

I’m considering downgrading versions just for this project since I spend so much time restarting resolve. (And normalizing audio, but I don’t think that’s something better in an older version)

Edit: fuxk reddits auto formatting, somehow it deleted one of my issues, I don’t recall what it was.

Is it possible to restore a timeline from a timeline.#### file?

I have a project (that still exists) where I accidentally deleted the timeline. I guess the default settings in davinci is to not make project backups and automatically save everything no matter what you do. So now I have a project I've spent hours on with no timeline, I have the timeline files, but I cant do anything with them.
Are these files there just to taunt anyone who accidentally deletes their timelines? There has to be SOME way to restore them. Again, I do have the project, but since the rest of the project wasn't backed up there doesn't seem to be a way to use the timeline (that is backed up by default) to actually restore the timeline. I've tried adding a new timeline and restoring from that, but it only allows restoring from itself (plopping the old timeline file in the backups folder doesn't work.)
