@MarioNawfal For the record some individual robots’ moves could be momentarily overridden by manual controls operated by crew members. Still cool tho altogether and the lead dancer was awesome. 👏 And the audience looked thrilled ‘n happy… hope this won’t be the prelude to J-day 🤣💀

[Joey Yu Writer @JoeyYuWriter]

Amaze and power and wild and happy. Thus we’ve just had the prelude of the Terminator story 😂👾

Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show.

The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore.

Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history.

Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities.

Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate.

We really can't hate these people enough.

It’s not a sin. Where originality matters AI aren’t gonna be of substantive help. The challenge has always been about focus and discipline.

[Variety @Variety]

Martin Scorsese is backing an AI company to “push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences.” He is using the technology for storyboarding purposes.

"I’m interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and seeing how that can push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences. Cinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve. I utilized 3D with ‘Hugo’ and de-aging technology for ‘The Irishman.’ Now, with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly and efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer — for them to build on to enrich cinematic intelligence."

On the Hiroshima comparison - it’s technically correct if you’re measuring energy release by TNT equivalency, but liquid oxygen/methane combustion is way slower than a nuclear detonation.

The actual NG explosive yield is probably more like <<5% of Little Boy. But still very big & bad for everyone who wants to go to space.

I think it's worth discussing how last night's Blue Origin incident could affect Delta's decision to choose Amazon Leo over @Starlink.

A couple months ago, Delta announced plans to begin installing Amazon Leo connectivity on 500 aircraft starting in 2028. The key word here is begin, because unless Amazon decides to launch their Leo satellites on SpaceX rockets in the near term while Blue Origin works to return New Glenn to service, a process that could take 12–15 months (maybe longer) based on early reports, its deployment timeline could face significant delays. Amazon currently has about 300 Leo satellites in orbit, compared to @SpaceX's 10,400 Starlink satellites.

Those 500 aircraft would cover only about half of Delta's fleet, meaning a full fleet rollout likely wouldn't be completed until 2030 or so (maybe sooner if they launch Leo sats with SpaceX).

United Airlines expects Starlink to be installed on roughly 80% of its fleet (about 880 aircraft) by the end of this year, years ahead of Delta's rollout. Southwest Airlines expects approximately 300 aircraft, or 37% of its fleet, to have Starlink by the end of 2026. American Airlines is scheduled to begin Starlink installations in 2027.

This means Delta will have a meaningful competitive disadvantage when it comes to high-speed onboard internet, an increasingly important feature for travelers. This begs the question, does Delta accept these likely delays with Amazon Leo (again, unless they pay SpaceX to launch their sats in the meantime), or do they eventually decide they can't afford to wait and switch to Starlink?

A couple other factors to consider though: Delta has broader partnerships with Amazon beyond Leo, and Amazon may have offered a killer deal to get Delta to sign with them, one they may not want to give up. It's also possible Amazon dedicates a large share of Leo's early capacity to Delta, making a smaller satellite constellation mostly sufficient for its needs? I need to look more into that last part.

So far, 37 airlines (and counting) have announced Starlink adoption. I now some disagree with me on this, but I believe passengers will increasingly factor high-speed internet connectivity into their flight decisions, especially on longer flights. As more airlines adopt Starlink (three out of the four major U.S. airlines have), pressure will continue to mount for the airlines that haven't adopted it.

Jet Blue is in a similar situation to Delta....

I’m glad I spent 9 mins of my life on this. This is visionary, and philosophical.

[Joey Yu Writer @JoeyYuWriter]

Quite a few story beats in this one lol

Is that what I think it is!?

🇺🇸 The U.S. government is now a direct shareholder in quantum computing.

The Trump administration is taking $2 billion in equity stakes across nine quantum companies, including a new IBM venture.

The explicit goal: counter China's quantum advancement before it becomes a national security problem.

This is significant. Governments don't take equity positions in speculative tech. They do it when the technology is too important to lose.

Quantum computing breaks current encryption standards, accelerates drug discovery, and rewrites financial modeling at a level classical computers can't touch. Whoever leads this race sets the rules.

Washington just decided it's not leaving that to the private sector alone.

That said, as a sci-fi&amp;fantasy writer I’m a big proponent of co-existence with AI. Use it, understand it. If we don’t—as tech pioneers did what they did cuz they read great sci-fi—then we’re not honoring the visionary writers that envisioned this world on page long before today.

[Joey Yu Writer @JoeyYuWriter]

I’m fully convinced human storytelling ingenuity won’t be replaced by AI. For so many reasons.

For one, AI does not die, and therefore it has no life story to tell (at least not in a way we can relate)

1/4

[Joey Yu Writer @JoeyYuWriter]

As humans, storytelling is integral to the soul. One can argue it’s the only guiding force shaping reality—decoherence into reality, by choice. AI on the other hand remains in superposition for good (or loses its super power). We don’t want superposition. That is not freedom. 3/4
