We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.

We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

I watched this without sound and quickly realised that EVERY single shot is less than 3 seconds long. It's just an AI montage with recognisable music.

Coca-Cola’s annual Christmas advert is AI-generated again this year.

The company says they used even fewer people to make it — “We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope… The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in”

Guillermo Del Toro tells NPR he’d “rather die” than use generative AI:

“AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’”

🚨 JASON CALACANIS: “I think the best part about (DeepSeek) is the fact that Sam Altman was supposed to be doing open source, he made it a closed source company, he stole everyone’s data, he got caught red handed, he’s being sued by The New York Times for that, and now the Chinese have come and open sourced all the stuff he stole, and he’s got a real competitor on the mission that OpenAI was supposed to do.

I have zero sympathy for him or the team over there. I’m glad that this is all going open sourced. It should have been open sourced, and it’s better for humanity, and the fact that the Chinese did it to Sam Altman is comeuppance for the fact that he stole everyone else’s content.

But I don’t have strong opinions on it.”

LMAO. Wow. Jason with the double headshot. 😂

Hmmm wonder how this Black Ops 6 loading screen was made...

[Francis-Xavier Martins 💙 @Polyjunky]

Look, at least it's not AI.

[Francis-Xavier Martins 💙 @Polyjunky]

Looks fine to me.

Coca Cola’s annual Christmas commercial has been created with AI this time.

Unfortunately I was laid off last week and I am now looking for work, preferably remote. If anyone is looking for a 3D character artist in games or toys/collectables, feel free to reach out.

The lines on the console represent the lines Sony bosses were snorting when they set the price.

Anyone going to spend $700 for the PS5 pro to see two more pixels on screen?
