Yep, part of their “Network State” blueprint. Plus, OpenAI’s aggressive governmental agenda is to become “too big to fail” which will result in taxpayer bailouts when the crash happens because it’s so embedded. Globally.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

The tale I heard was that he was in the bar during a shoot and they were waiting for him to show up, so they sent someone in to get him. When they both didn't show, they went in to fetch them and found Shaw still drinking, and the other bloke was blackout drunk.

Him and Oliver Reed, legends.

I remember when @wired.com magazine used to be a good read, now it's just a PR machine for slop tech.

It does not, sadly, that would probably eat up any profits because of licensing fees.

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

If you watch carefully there are entire sequences that are far too long that nothing happens because they’re filmed purely for the score lol

The horse riding one for example, it’s about 30 minutes long (exaggerated) but you don’t care because you get to hear Horner.

Same, but found a deep house mix on YouTube that I enjoyed listening to before I realised.

You do realise that the ChatGPT porn thing is really about getting a hold of your identity credentials and not about porn at all…

Altman has been trying this trick for a while now, the eyeball scanning Orb for crypto was just one of those scams.

The only Tron sequel I really want to see is going back to the 80s and using the same CG and backlit effects, and a story inside a different mainframe.

These “radical” ideas are stuff that ten year olds have been thinking about for generations. How is this anything new?

There are so many fractional CMOs. Not quite as many 'leaders', but getting there.

Funny old thing, language:

Part time = weak, lazy
Fractional = smart, numerate, in demand

Noticed the change in titles, not as grating as someone becoming a Quantum Computing expert from selling NFTs, but just as annoying.
