Karlson’s declaration – “Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest! … What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?” – is one of nine pieces of audio that have been added to the NFSA’s Sounds of Australia collection this year, along with a pedestrian crossing signal and Missy Higgins’ 2004 hit Scar.

OpenAI funding fears hit memory chip prices Spending cuts at OpenAI have hit memory chip prices as fears grow about the tech company’s ability to fund its expansion.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

That's quite the sign:

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

do i want to google what that is lol

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

This is both terrifying and also a terrible idea. But also

Of COURSE they’re scabs. Of fucking course.

Sounds great. If we get stuck during our playthroughs, though, is it possible to come together and beat OFF collaboratively? Or would we have to switch off and separately beat each other's OFF?

Never heard of this game, is it multiplayer?

what did he know

Sora, the protagonist from Kingdom Hearts, poses with a peace sign over the grave of a bad computer program. It's also called "Sora," I think, but it's so unimportant it's barely worth mentioning.

Sora was DOA. AI video is fiendishly expensive to generate and has no use case when human-created videos are better AND cheaper. The only surprising thing is that anyone was gullible enough to buy Altman's bullshit in the first place! Anyway here's the video I made about it

learning what "vibe coding" is sure did eliminate my impostor syndrome. like at least i know what my code does

Source tells me sora is stable.

Please god

updating the meme for current times

OpenAI is shutting down Sora and dropping video features from ChatGPT.

Disney was previously said to be investing $1B, licensing 200+ characters across Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars & more for use in ChatGPT and Sora.
