Sora or ai slop tiktok does seem to be an indication the the revenue model of:
“ai takes everyone’s job while open ai charges for the value once delivered by those employees”
may not be panning out.

So they are planning to sell ads instead

I wonder if there is a market for an AI-free browser & search engine. The luddite browser perhaps.

Having tried to build a react native app, then trying to update it 1.5 years later I feel this.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ..."
That's the truth our government reflects

I dunno, that pile of ash has a lot of neighborhood character

90% of honks must be from 1% of people

I’m guessing I can’t vote unless I’m in the ‘catchment area’?

I think it’s important to understand the views of those you disagree with. Particularly in politics where we will need to vote for someone who this author may not vote for but could persuade people like him. I hate our president as much as the next Bostonian but this shows how we got here.

Could Waymo’s robotaxis be taught to think with the twisted and self-righteous logic of the Boston Driver? - The Boston Globe The tech company is mapping city streets and could send self-driving cabs to town. Boston Drivers are already enraged.

I’ll never forget the conversation I had with someone saying we shouldn’t build more housing near them because of the foxes in the backyard of their single family home in the city.

Open AIs 'innovative' corporate structure?

Agreed, my guess was they didn't qualify as 'metro'

I'm confused why the counselors would vote in favor of this power grab at all...

I wonder how much America's overly-litigeous culture affects the cost of starting a business. I assume our insurance rates for most companies are higher than their international peers?

It's not moderates who weaponized this slogan, its the right. If you turned on Fox news any time 2020-22, you would have seen them replaying the same 3 clips of violence in cities and saying ’look what happens when you defund the police'. It's a layup for the other side and a self-own for liberals.
