OpenAI burns so much money that they need to raise at least $40 billion every year in perpetuity. Despite ChatGPT's ridiculous growth, it loses money on every single customer, which means even on projected revenues of $12.7bn they'll *still lose at least $14bn*.

Need to cheer myself up so here's the best Twitter post ever. It spawned one billion bad ripoffs but it's a beautiful magic trick. You don't just read it in his voice: he said it now. This quote is real.

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

Do they think the Latin alphabet sprung fully formed from Jupiter's forehead?
Surely it couldn't possibly be that almost all alphabets are ripoffs of ripoffs of ripoffs going back to the Bronze Age.
After all, if that held, it'd be really hard to accuse Jews of being uniquely evil and inauthentic.

Listen to me: all Die Hard ripoffs are fun. But all Pulp Fiction ripoffs fucking suck. I’m as right about this as I am the sun setting in the West. It’s a universal truth. Under Siege? Beautiful. Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead? An affront to god

This is the movie writing I crave - not celebrity gossip or Hot Ones ripoffs, deep reads of what the creators and actors are trying to do.
Over at the Ringer, I wrote about how good Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor is, and how Superman stories live or die by their take on Luthor

A Good Superman Is Great. A Good Lex Luthor Is Sublime.

A hundred percent of the time I’m impressed by an AI cartoon image, it’s because I’m unaware of the artist they’re sneaking into the prompts.
On the plus side, finding some great artists while trawling through the ripoffs.

The thing where pretty much everywhere you can purchase groceries besides Wal Mart and Costco turning into a minefield of insane ripoffs that you have to be an expert-level loyalty club app user to avoid has not helped with this.
as someone on the zoomer/millennial boundary i feel there's a legit problem with people not knowing how to purchase groceries
