Really enjoyed Project Hail Mary. Hard to describe the feeling without it sounding silly, but it’s just one of those movies where you walk out of the theatre thinking “man going to the movies rules”

Oh look I was right. Oh well, just $1 billion that never gets wired to anybody after an endless media hype cycle about the death of hollywood. Pobody's Nerfect! I'm sure everybody who wrote scary stories about Sora 2 destroying Hollywood will apologize www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

A source familiar with the matter tells The Hollywood Reporter that Disney is also exiting the deal it signed with OpenAI last year, in which it pledged to invest $1 billion in the company and agreed to license some of its characters for use in Sora.

From what I can see, Disney didn't mention its (supposed) $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI on its most-recent quarterly and annual reports. The AI bubble is a mirage! investors.thewaltdisneycompany.com/files/doc_fi... investors.thewaltdisneycompany.com/files/doc_fi...

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 www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open... www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

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.

Finished Esoteric Ebb by @chrisbodegard.bsky.social last night and I really loved my time with it! If the pitch "Disco Elysium but make it more lighthearted and throw it in a fantasy setting" sounds at all appealing to you, do yourself a favor and give it a shot!

anyway it's a new year, a year in which we plan* to release 4 (+ actually) issues, and so for the fifth year running I am on my hands & knees begging people to try sending us info about what they're working on, ideally 2-3 months before release our inbox for all press releases is press@wyrd.science

I'm contemplating picking up a new big game to sink my teeth into. Do folks have thoughts on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? And if it's worth playing, should I play KCD1 first? Or is it more of a Witcher 1 situation where you go back to it after you fall in love with newer entries in the series

Just saw the new Knives Out, and it’s been said a million times, but I hope Rian Johnson keeps making these boys, they rule My gut says I liked it better than Glass Onion but not more than the original. I think the emotional core of this one really works

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

“We’re going to ship lower quality stuff, faster” seems like an exceptionally clear sighted and honest explication of AI’s value proposition, I’m just not convinced that a) people will want the lower quality stuff, or b) that it will actually be faster

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year. Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

software development in 2026 is going to require some to loosen up a little code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-ai call it slop if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping "slop" that works.. you're fighting from a disadvantaged position shipping velocity matters more than perfection
