Deepseek may be a bombshell disrupter of the AI market, but, currently, it’s not nearly as good as ChatGPT or Claude. Hallucinates much more and much, much less “creative”.

Astonished at the rare event we saw: TikTok decided to close up in the USA rather than sell for $150 BILLION. “Name your price” was, essentially offered, and that’s basically never turned down these days.

This David Lynch short film, shot with a Lumiere camera, is a real favorite of mine. It is filled a near-minute of cosmic horror and twilight dread. The burning scene change is astonishing.

Always curious why horror movies are in “Period”. 1922 Nosferatu took place in “the past”, but the update takes place in the same “past”.
Even more odd with Dracula, which was a VERY modern/contemporary book. Adaptations should be contemporary, just as the book was.

What type of media has scared you the most?
A movie?
A Book?
An image?
A ghost story?
I’ve seen a lot of scary movies, but there are parts of books, even Wikipedia articles, that really, really keep me up at night.
