This is the really big news here imo, its not just the sora app thats gone but chatgpt wont be doing videos either. This is a massive hit to openAI. Hopefully this hit causes internal bleeding that kills them as painfully as possible.

Who benefits when thousands of people who share the same societal problems are convinced that they have no one else to talk to

AI is a tool to *keep* the population from being able to express their thoughts, rely on each other for support, or focus on completing difficult tasks, and every word you type into it makes it stronger.

Why the fuck did they make the first episode of season 4 of Dear White People a musical????? I fucking hate musicals....

A reminder that the Paramount/WBD deal hinges on big daddy Oracle's success. Big daddy Oracle's success hinges on companies needing to rent server farms from them. Sora going down mean less need for server farms. Less need for server farms means less need for Nvidia chips. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Is it a sign that a company is doing well when they're shutting down features of their product before ever turning a profit?

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

oh I have a long memory and I remember who all of you fuckos are

A midnight train going anywhere might fix me.

Good news all around today

LMAO

lol DISNEY. The fucked up, evil as sin DISNEY. Is done with AI.

Overheard: AI is just monkey-see monkey-do at scale.

our mismanagement of the environment has crossed the point of no return, the dolphins are leaving

Getting the key to the roll top desk we kept the family computer in was the best as a kid. Using the computer felt like an occasion and not just something I do constantly, every day.

controversial opinion: y’all gotta drop the will stancil thing. who cares if a talkative white man is wrong on the internet. the obsession with him is very weird

Uni sleeping on my lap… too precious

I passed the Jokerfication mark a long time ago. I was Jokerfied for years. Now I'm straight-up Two-Facing it. My every passing moment is a coin-toss between grim despair and nihilistic enthusiasm. Might try Calendar Man-ification next

We could just scrap TSA and go back to having airports & airlines be responsible for their own security. We wouldn’t have this chaos when there’s a government funding gap, and as a nice perk we’d ditch a lot of time-consuming theater that adds little meaningful security benefit.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Their job is to run that shit into the ground until you literally will not pay for it anymore. That's capitalism baby!

"why are they remaking a movie that only came out 10 years ago--" money. it's money. it's always money. these things consistently turn a profit and they will always, always exploit that. big media corporations are not the thoughtful guardians of your beloved stories and characters!

Gooooood morning my friends!!

i’m on one where the description is like “people who don’t just hate tech but they hate the people who use it and want you to know about it” and on the one hand that’s unbelievably reductive and disingenuous and on the other yes that’s me fuck you

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

Whimsy and silliness

I love Scott Seiss

Piglet is king of the mountain! 🏔️

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

So the Republican strategy is to hope that people believe the party that doesn’t control the presidency, senate, house, or supreme court is responsible for government dysfunction?

If I were an TSA agent and I saw these ICE officers sauntering around the airport joking with each over, collecting bonus money while I slogged thru another longass shift for no pay I would immediately quit and never look back. republicans wreck everything.

leaving this back on the timeline again #AEW #wrestlesky 🤼‍♂️

So, who else thinks the world cup in the United States will be a bust, as well as the 250 anniversary of the nation? Discuss.

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

by the time this is over it will be 12 straight years of being governed by men without a functional brain. and at least 8 straight years of men clinically unfit to hold any proper work or drive a vehicle

The oil crisis we created in the Strait of Hormuz only exacerbates the need to ween ourselves off fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy. Instead, Trump is burning a billion dollars to kill an offshore wind project that was already approved and force the company to invest in Texas oil

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

👀uh, where are all the articles about how Quentin Tarantino stole from Hong Kong and Japanese Action movies?

I LOVE being places but I hate modern air travel. We took a miracle and turned it into a miserable experience for everyone involved in like 100 different ways

I know breaking news is hard but I've several articles about the crash at LGA yesterday/today and none mentioned the persistent understaffing of air traffic control, and the absolute chaos the trump administration added to the system in the past year.

The Alex situation in Street Fighter 6 is the most Rube Goldberg machine of incest storylines I've ever encountered in all my years covering anime bullshit.

I wish the media would stop being manipulated by Donald Trump. You can’t believe anything that fucker says. Nothing.
