Got a chance to read a draft of this video. My main feedback was "Spider-Man videos are my thing, stay in your goddamn lane!" but also, despite that, it's a very good video and an interesting idea.

Out now: AI and the Murder of Truth. And Air Bud. On AI, education, fascism, paying the Dane-geld, and why there ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball. The follow up to last year’s “You are a better writer than AI.” If you liked that video, this is worth your time.

This video premieres in an hour and a half, and if you trust my taste even a little, you need to watch it. It is both magisterial and nuts. (not just saying this because I have a voice cameo!)

OpenAI news: 1. Sora is dead. May the memory of its four-month existence as a copyright infringement machine be a blessing. 2. Disney is pulling out of its billion-dollar investment in OpenAI entirely. Turns out when you try to serve AI slop on a product people pay for, no one wants it.

This sucks. Oddnon was a real gem. While sick, while suffering, they were always there for creators; fundraising, encouraging, sharing, and apparently listening and holding space and consoling and yet more than I knew. The Oddnon I did know was a welcome brightness at premieres. One I will miss.
