This is a real plate, not one of those fake vanity plates. The Sox may have the worst season in the history of baseball this year, but that's not necessarily related.
Starting a wall of text with a non sequitur is a bold strategy. I cannot follow his 9/11 logic at all.
One of these things is not like the others. (my bulleting)
We also understand the serious risks posed by these technologies. These risks range from
AI stans? In my ~~sneer club~~ tech takes?
Did they claim the video was unedited Sora output?
This is the article that I read at launch:
Has generative video’s problem with faces and hands been solved? Not quite. We still get glimpses of warped body parts. And text is still a problem (in another video, by the creative agency Native Foreign, we see a bike repair shop with the sign “Biycle Repaich”). But everything in “Air Head” is raw output from Sora. After editing together many different clips produced with the tool, Shy Kids did a bunch of post-processing to make the film look even better. They used visual effects tools to fix certain shots of the main character’s balloon face, for example.
“Balaji has the highest rate of output per minute of good new ideas of anybody I’ve ever met,” wrote Marc Andreessen.

Oh, this guy Bryan seems like a real prize.
Existing toys for men are dead, limp, flaccid, gay .....

EA is not a religion. Anyway, here are some pros / cons to marrying outside the religion.
...the less committed end of the EA spectrum (do you sneak dairy products when no one’s looking? fantasize about owning a yacht?)
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a yacht to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Most notably, he cropped the graph on the "ourworldindata" website - the annual average appears below all of those charts, and quite obviously line go up. I took his Sweden chart into excel and added a trend line just to make it all on one chart.
We are materially focused, for a reason – to open the aperture on how we may choose to live amid material abundance. ... Material abundance from markets and technology opens the space for religion, for politics, and for choices of how to live, socially and individually.
Ah yes, material abundance like living in America's most expensive ZIP code, a neighborhood with an average home price of $8mm and saying this about affordable housing:
"Please IMMEDIATELY REMOVE all multifamily overlay zoning projects from the Housing Element which will be submitted to the state in July," Andreessen and his wife, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, said via an email to the mayor and city council. "They will MASSIVELY decrease our home values, the quality of life of ourselves and our neighbors and IMMENSELY increase the noise pollution and traffic."
These guys.
Exactly this. Generative AI shows that most people doing technical work are men? It probably also shows that most construction workers are men, most social workers are women, etc.. Guess what, that reflects reality. If you want something else? You can ask for it. "Picture of a woman welding." "Picture of a black, male social worker." You'll get it, no problem.
Over on Mastodon I linked to an NPR article where they kept asking Midjourney to generate images of BLACK doctors treating WHITE children in Africa and it was largely unable to do so, even with the prompts. Not "no problem," but Midjourney sometimes literally interspersed Giraffes and Elephants into images with Black doctors.
