Adobe is killing Animate! Oh no!
It's a good thing I have this trial version of Adobe Master Collection CS4 that is totally legal to share to download that has absolutely nothing to do with this image, nor would typing in a certain number during install convert it into a full version, not at all.

The amount of times I have casually mentioned a childhood staple to a friend from the US only to have them stare at me like a crazy person (the stare only become more bewildered/excited as I try to explain what I'm talking about) makes me firmly and fervently agree with this sentiment.

AI is dying. Repost to make it die faster.
👀 | OpenAI is reportedly burning cash fast, with losses projected to reach $14B in 2026 and a possible cash shortfall by 2027.
Analysts say AI profitability was overestimated, as rising data center and inference costs could lead to a $207 BILLION industry shortfall by 2030.
