Short 🧵: One thing I don't see discussed regarding the whole likely implosion of the AI bubble is that Silicon Valley brought this upon itself by profoundly misunderstanding where human beings are at right now.

It has some great pastiches and some of Paul Williams' best on and off screen work - I've begun to realise how underrated he is now.

LRS: Listen, I love Rocky Horror and was even in a stage production of it once, but Phantom of the Paradise deserves the same amount of cult movie fame and it makes me sad that so few people comparatively have seen it.
Anyway, Phantom of the Paradise absolutely fucks, please watch it

Another voice to the chorus - a lot of fun with a mixture of play styles. Should be much better known.
One of my favorite open world games! Read @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social review to see why it is well worth checking out.

ChatGPT is doing everything 80s parents thought heavy metal and D&D did and I wish this was hyperbole
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Urgent - if you haven't seen it, catch it whilst you can
It has come to my attention that Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber's very good techno-horror CAM will apparently be leaving Netflix on 15th November, seven years after being purchased by the streamer.
Go watch CAM while you can!

They may look like house cats, but sand cats are fearless predators! Our sand cats both now live in the brand-new TLC Foundation Small Cat Hideaway.
Over 800 gallons of sandy substrate were spread through their habitats for the cats to enjoy digging and playing in!

So there’s openly a blacklist at a major studio for opposing the well documented mass slaughter of women and children?

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.
