Live Journal is the opposite of Death Note

Open Letter: 1,000+ Industry Leaders Oppose the Paramount–WBD Merger Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, Mark Ruffalo, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more than 1,000 filmmakers and industry professionals call on regulators to block the deal.

Once again, for the latecomers:

Media mergers are bad for everyone. Bad for writers. Bad for actors. Bad for directors. REALLY bad for consumers. Bad for executives. Bad for literally everyone except the billionaires who own them. Do what you can to stop this. blockthemerger.com/openletter

Huge fan of this *IF* distributors actually start funding these creators’ successful projects. Views alone can’t sustain a team that needs living wages and healthcare to function. It’s why union animation work is so important and its decline so concerning

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Please share. I can no longer afford to sponsor the majority of their rent and food.

Be it through job offers or donations, I'm trying to do EVERYTHING I can to help keep my very talented artist/writer friend in Raleigh, NC from being homeless and on the street at the end of the month.

Happy World Theatre Day!

Meta & Google have been found liable in a social media addiction lawsuit

• Jury found them negligent in the design & operation of their platforms

• They have been ordered to pay $3M in damages

• The plaintiff is a 20-year-old woman who alleges she was addicted to Instagram and YouTube as a child

Disney's Sora Disaster Shows AI Will Not Save Hollywood It turns out when you try to serve slop on a product people pay for, no one wants it.

The Hollywood executive dream that AI will revolutionize how movies are made or that they can lean on user generated AI slop to drive costs down is not going to work and is already a disaster

OpenAI is planning to discontinue the app for its Sora video platform, a product it released to great fanfare last year that has since fallen from public view, according to the company. The move is one of a number of steps OpenAI is taking to refocus on business and coding functions ahead of a potential initial public offering as soon as the fourth quarter of this year. CEO Sam Altman announced the changes to staff on Tuesday, writing that the company would wind down products that use its video models. In addition to the consumer app, OpenAI is also discontinuing a version of Sora for developers and won’t support video functionality inside ChatGPT, either.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has relinquished direct oversight of the company’s safety and security teams so he can focus on raising capital, supply chains and “building datacenters at unprecedented scale,” he told staff on Tuesday. At the same time, he said the company had completed the initial development of its next major AI model, codenamed Spud, and would wind down the Sora AI video mobile app, which employees had complained was a drag on the company’s computing resources during a time of heightened competition with foes such as Anthropic and Google.

Both the Wall Street Journal and The Information confirming that OpenAI is killing Sora - both the app and *access to its video-generating model for developers*. This is a huge move that suggests things are a bit desperate

Happy Steel Ball Run day!

We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of YGO Abridged but there's a decent chance I'll be kicked out of my home before that, so I'm gonna be streaming a 20th anniversary celebration to YouTube in the coming days while also trying to raise money to hopefully prevent that from happening.

*sigh*

I'm so sorry ❤️

Hi. A dear friend of mine's been abruptly laid off from their job whilst also stuck in medical-bureaucracy limbo—delaying surgery they've spent 1.5 years preparing for.

Marin & Martin took even gnarlier financial hits than I did in the strike. Please help them keep their house.
