“The decision stunned Disney executives, who just 30 minutes earlier had been meeting with OpenAI teams about Sora's future, according to a person familiar with the matter.”

Example: Movie studio bigwigs want things done their way. They hire artists and production and all forms of creatives to do the rounds of revisions to the final movie. The roles for artists are already changing because of AI, but I'm not sure the bigwigs will ever do the actual work themselves.
Agree or disagree?
A lot of people look at AI taking jobs because of the skills it can replicate instead of looking at it from the perspective of the jobs that people don't want to do.

Thanks for the mention, Greg! That’s so kind of you to say!
Looking at this thread it looks like @kelpat.bsky.social mentioned Dr. Dorsey Armstrong already. She was my Arthurian guest!

Scott wrote this in his diary, "The POLE. Yes, but under very different circumstances from those expected. Great God! This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority."
It turns out while Scott's team tried to become to the first humans at the South Pole for the British Empire, the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had already achieved it a month earlier on December 14th, 1911.
On this day in 1912, the British explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (far left) arrived at the South Pole with his team...only to find this flag already there.

This morning is working on the first BOATS episode of 2026, a re-recording and remastering of one of my favorite episodes.
Oops, got an extra "to" in there... 😂
Updated to macOS to Tahoe 26.2 and it feels like I'm running Windows Vista again.
If 2025 was the year of “6, 7” and adjusting for inflation in the new year, does that mean 2026 will be the year of “7, 11”?
Put into perspective, college football coaches are basically teachers. Can you imagine if there was all this media buzz around where Ole Miss’ history professor is going to sign their next multi-million dollar contract?

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! The history of today is long and complicated, but I tried to summarize it over on Facebook (which allows for longer posts)

Don Bluth and Gary Goldman are such a powerful animation team! It's obviously not historically accurate, but I'm such a big fan of Bluth and Goldman's work that I had to cover it on my historical podcast: www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/94-anastasia/
On this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot on this day as his motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas.

First time using Lightroom Classic's new Assisted Culling feature. It has promise, but IMO it's in the wrong part of the workflow. I prefer to import everything and use the built-in Picks feature instead of only importing the picks. Seems like they're fighting their own workflow with that...
There's a new Robin Hood series with Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Two thoughts:
1) Casting Sean Bean means the Sheriff must die at some point
2) I need to watch this show to find out how
Dick Cheney passed away today.

Today is the 144th anniversary of perhaps the most famous ~30 seconds in the history of the American Old West: The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
If you want to learn more about the true story, I've covered the movie "Tombstone" from three different angles: www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/tombstone
For context, I have the gamecast for World Series game 1 in another monitor...randomly, that page decides to play some NBA clips. I've had constant issues when I go to ESPN on my phone it stops the podcast I'm listening for no reason other than to play their own ad audio. It's so annoying.
@espn.com's website is the new MySpace that randomly pops up sounds and videos that aren't related to anything and are only a distraction
What a game, well played Brewers! #NLDS
