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.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless
Seeing people defend AI in conceptual stages by saying it didn't make it to the final product feels like watching AI smooth their brains out in real time
oh this is so true, I walked around calculating how much pain every little walk would make for a full year before I accepted I needed a cane, and once I did it was *so* much better
The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.
Aesop: I TOLD YOU
If ICE does replace TSA, some tips we all know but maybe you need to someone to say:
* Do not take anything valuable through security. It’s gone.
* If you normally arrive extra early to offset a TSA delay due to your skin or name: cancel your trip. If it’s a return flight: drive
In many ways one of gen AI's most interesting and least-discussed features in game development is how it turns final assets into placeholder assets that were always going to be replaced at the exact moment that the studios get yelled at by the fans 😏

yeah it's the first time I've ever seen a revival that actually feels like I'm watching the original
The venn diagram of guys who buy merch like this and guys who are later caught being pedophiles is a perfect circle.
That's not the interesting part, the interesting part is cis people think the shirt is actually about pedophiles and don't notice it is a transphobic dog whistle calling for genocide
Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.
rip robert mueller you taught me it was okay to do nothing when faced with the most consequential task of my life

in memoriam, let us remember the single funniest thing the Krassensteins ever did
Hahahaha what
great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame.
TL:DR, they sped up slop.

You say that there is no breaking news on Bluesky, I SAY FUCK THAT THIS IS THE BREAKING NEWS OF ALL BREAKING NEWS AND I LEARNED ABOUT IT HERE ON BLUESKY THE SPORTS APP
we can remember that the Trump war is illegal and evil while also remembering that the Iranian regime is evil.

THE DINAR SCAM IS BACK, BAYBEEEE
To be fair: this is a specific subset. I’ve shared enough here about how I grew up for people to know I am connected to a lot of people who just live off investments generationally, not some tuned in entrepreneurs. But that crowd usually doesn’t even consider worrying about money
I think the crash has officially started. Everyone I know who was saying “this happens, wait it out” has been broken by Iran. They could handle the financial dissonance about AI, for example, but they understand the reality of fuel, and it’s making them question the whole picture
I'm learning so much about jelqing, thank u lydelle buster
like it's genuinely incredible that powerful men got so insecure over women working factory jobs in WW2 they made life hell for them for 20 odd years, and the pushback against it irrevocably destroyed the economic basis of the patriarchal nuclear family structure they were trying to maintain
or his wife who's zonked out on valium/been lobotomized, altho on second thought none of those r mutually exclusive
wait jelqing is that old?! I genuinely believed 4chan invented it to trick insecure guys into destroying their dicks
still suspect they promoted it with that it mind but yeah
