well, you may have hardly slept making it, but at least after all that work it looks like dogshit
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

i'm taking a wild guess here that the show was shot (or scanned) in 4k but delivery spec was HD, so all of the finished VFX shots were only delivered in HD to keep costs down, so to keep it all at 4k they had to conform the VFX shots to the plates?
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

if this somehow isn't bait, it's easy to see why generated music is hollow and disposable. it's based on your prompt, so it gives you exactly what you want to hear. nothing could be more boring than hearing a song for the first time and it sounds exactly like you expected it would.

if you are a shy person who does not want to instigate conversation with strangers but don't mind if they talk to you, check out "wearing a ween shirt to a concert"

in a just world, Treinan would not win another world series ring, Alejandro Kirk would heralded as a hero, and the power of friendship would triumph over evil. but alas, our world is unjust as fuck, just read a dang newspaper

"Blue Owl Capital raised money for a massive Meta data center in Louisiana by, in essence, issuing bonds backed by Meta’s rent. And multiple data-center leases can be combined into a security and sorted into what are called “tranches” based on their risk of default."

i feel like one of the few saving graces of AI bullshit is that all of these companies who think they can replace their workforce with agents are just going to natural selection themselves into bankruptcy once nothing works

finally got some shut-eye, but man, what a game. it is an absolute feat that the jays held the "bad for baseball" dodgers lineup scoreless for over an entire game's worth of innings where a single run would've ended it. defensive masterclass.
