Michael Bay's company promised Skibidi Toilet guy a movie that wouldn't happen so they could do merch. Now they've kicked him out to enshittify the YouTube channel, pumping out content fans HATE. The creator is communicating like the "BEAR WITH ME" tweet and the company is in full panic coverup mode
DaFuq?Boom, creator of Skibidi Toilet, talking to a fan about bad new content as if Michael Bay is holding a gun to his head, bolding parts of sentences to imply something is very wrong. DaFuq?Boom sending a cheerful email about the current status of Skibidi Toilet that he has attached a Spotify playlist to where he is clearly Going Through It The Spotify playlist of a man who is absolutely not losing creative control of his project, featuring Nine Inch Nails' "Hand That Feeds"

I regret to inform you that Tron: Ares actually rips. #filmsky 🎥
A 3.5 heart star letterboxd review of Tron Ares: "The dorky computer stuff is back- heists to steal files, dialogue slathered with repurposed terminology, gags like "he was made in a GPU." A return to the existentialism of the original Tron. Koyaanisqatsi imagery illustrating the enmeshment of the corporate surveillance state into our society. Cybergoth panopticon daddy x corporate girlboss in distress. A plot structured around roguelike game mechanics where the main goal is enabling permadeath mode. PTA car door shots. Practical light cycles. Nine Inch Nails evoking Tangerine Dream. The 80s grid! And you expect me to hate this???"

Out of sick curiosity, I asked the slop machine: "what are some famous quotes by the video game character Rayman?"

It gave me a bunch of hallucinated BS that feels along the lines of what was published.

OpenAI doesn't have a viable business model & tech journalism's kid gloves will soon be off. But if you want the honest AI news *right now*, @edzitron.com has been reporting on the emperor's lack of clothes for years at this point. From yesterday's great essay:
www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...
To recap: OpenAI and Anthropic both lose billions of dollars a year after revenue, and their stories do not mirror any other startup in history, not Uber, not Amazon Web Services, nothing. I address the Uber point in this article. SoftBank is putting itself in dire straits simply to fund OpenAI once. This deal threatens its credit rating, with SoftBank having to take on what will be multiple loans to fund the remaining $30 billion of OpenAI's $40 billion round, which has yet to close and OpenAI is, in fact, still raising. This is before you consider the other $19 billion that SoftBank has agreed to contribute to the Stargate data center project, money that it does not currently have available OpenAI has promised $19 billion to the Stargate data center project, money it does not have and cannot get without SoftBank's funds. Again, neither SoftBank nor OpenAI has the money for Stargate right now. OpenAI must convert to a for-profit by the end of 2025, or it loses $20 billion of the remaining $30 billion of funding. If it does not convert by October 2026, its current funding converts to debt. It is demanding remarkable, unreasonable concessions from Microsoft, which is refusing to budge and is willing to walk away from the negotiations necessary to convert. OpenAI does not have a path to profitability, and its future, like Anthropic's, is dependent on a continual flow of capital from venture capitalists and big tech, who must also continue to expand infrastructure. Anthropic is in a similar, but slightly better position — it is set to lose $3 billion this year on $4 billion of revenue. It also has no path to profitability, recently jacked up prices on Cursor, its largest customer, and had to put restraints on Claude Code after allowing users to burn 100% to 10,000% of their revenue. These are the actions of a desperate company. Nevertheless, OpenAI and Anthropic's revenues amount to, by my estimates, more than half of the entire revenue of the generative AI industry, including the hyperscalers. To be abundantly clear: the two companies that amount to around half of all generative artificial intelligence revenue are ONLY LOSING MONEY.

it's true. grok says so.
A Twitter screenshot: da jorb irl (@irkenmajorb) @grok is this true Grok (@grok) Yes, the announcement by Needlejuice Records about King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's live recordings is true. The releases, including Live at Caverns '23 and Live at The Gorge '24, are listed on Bandcamp with credits to the band's sound crew and artwork by Jason Galea. Needlejuice is a trusted label for the band's physical releases, and fan feedback on platforms like Reddit supports their quality. You can preorder via the provided links. Some fans might prefer studio albums, but these live sets are legitimate and authorized by the band. https://grok.com

@gkids.com I love yall but I think you really miscalculated the dub vs sub demand for Dan Da Dan. 5 sub screenings on Friday, most of them almost empty, vs 1 dub show that's virtually sold out.
Six Friday screenings of Dan Da Dan Evil Eye, and only one is dubbed
