It just popped into my head that there is a popular, well known term from the JFK assassination called the "Magic Bullet theory," and someone years later decided to name a mini blender the "Magic Bullet." WHAT DO THEY KNOW!?!?!? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?!?!?!?

Some don't even know it's happening.

Me at the A24 board meeting:
We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

it's true that AI is wrong and looks like shit, but personally the most repellent part of it is that the people who use it of their own accord are doing it because they believe what rich people say and do what rich people tell them to do

No matter what you try and teach a Hollywood executive, it will always come away with the most facile and least useful interpretation mortally possible. It’s embarrassing.
There are literal children who could have a more nuanced take than “film give money when Internet give spooky.”

"Why tear down the Berlin Wall? What do you replace it with?"
I don't like Newsom to begin with, but this disqualifies him all by itself. Anyone who leave a brick standing that Trump put in place is just inviting the next authoritarian to do the same thing.
Destruction in this case is cleansing.

Obama should sit courtside for Game 4. No bulletproof glass, no napping. He'd get a 10 minute standing ovation. Players from each team would hug him. It'd send Trump into such a violent rage he'd choke to death on a Filet 'O Fish

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.
If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post
Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly.

Jesus Christ, this is more dystopic than anything Philip K Dick ever wrote but it’s what the Russo Brothers want for your AI Slop future
![“Potentially, what you could do with [AI] is obviously use it to engineer storytelling and change storytelling,” Russo said. “So you have a constantly evolving story, either in a game or in a movie or a TV show. You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I’ve had a rough day,’ and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that’s 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cbhnuflsctq2s7mu4iqcuauq/bafkreibajgqyg4mppmj4b3qgyk2tiwop57qov5gb2zakfsv7iyvqe4uh5q)
