[adjusts pocket protector] the titular war in Star Wars was really more of a civil war than a war between nations

my Sora 2 review

- more entertaining than I expected
- slightly less entertaining than normal Tik Tok
- OpenAI has made the first AI video generator where the raw output is actually watchable by itself

my big One Battle quibble is that the French 75 commit several crimes that would cause the US government to use its maximum power to catch them and they mostly get away with it. Especially at the end of the movie. He just goes back to his house that the govt knows he lives at?

if you think fake ai videos are a problem wait until you hear about "lying" which has existed as long as human language has

the reason I'm not worried about AI misinfo being a problem is because you could always just post a picture of a random black man with the caption "this antifa thug threw a rock at a beautiful white woman because she wasn't transgender" and like 20% of people over 45 would believe it

look I get that AI misinformation is a real issue but using "steven hawking doing a kickflip on a skateboard ramp" as your third example is extremely funny
