So the assholes make fat, six-figure salaries for 3 to 7 years, get sexy resumes, look busy, wait for the company to fail, and move on to the next grift . It doesn’t work, it was never going to, and they don’t care.
That’s the life cycle right now. It’s happening in practically every industry.

If you’re intimidated about drawing/learning to draw because you feel like you have no idea what you’re doing: Most of those who draw regularly also have no idea what were doing. We’re all bullshitting our way through and hoping for the best. That’s how all your favourite art is born, I promise

I should probably not say this because I've had a Disney+ show in development in the past, but this sucks. They paid a billion dollars to flood Disney Plus with Sora slop videos, and you should cancel your service and tell them why because who the hell wants to pay for that let alone see it.
They could’ve bankrupted OpenAI in lawsuits. Instead, they’re adopting OpenAI APIs and giving them a billion dollars.

the hypocrisy of this nonsense, in school settings specifically, is a vampire to my soul
Every day it seems we hear from teachers describing how their students are unable to think because they use AI for everything
Meanwhile my THIRD GRADER comes home with a certificate from an "Hour of AI" workshop at school (sponsored by Microsoft, Amazon, Google)
