Peter Jackson laments the death of physical media:
“You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.”
Do you still get real books and DVDs?
Peter Jackson regrette le déclin du support physique :
« On peut toujours acheter des Blu-rays mais c’est presque devenu un produit de niche destiné aux passionnés. Comme les ventes sont faibles, les studios ne veulent plus y ajouter de bonus conséquents ou proposer des versions longues.
Nous avons passé des heures et des heures à produire des making-of pour les DVD du Seigneur des anneaux et énormément de gens m’ont remercié pour ça. Les gens regardaient ces contenus encore et encore parce qu’ils leur donnaient envie de faire des films. Tout ça a disparu aujourd’hui, et je trouve ça vraiment dommage. »

Let me get this straight…
OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”
Then he raised billions of dollars.
Then he closed the source code.
Then he converted to for-profit.
Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.
Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.
Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter.
He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it…
Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Wins 9 awards + GOTY. Haters COPE, this is an amazing underdog story
1928, Bellevue Hospital, New York.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson has agreed to eat nothing but meat for one year under medical supervision to prove the Inuit diet works.
The doctors are certain he'll develop scurvy and die.
Week 1: The hospital decides to start him on lean meat. Mostly muscle meat. Minimal fat. This is "cleaner" and "safer" in their minds.
Day 3: Stefansson feels off. Nausea. Weakness. Diarrhea starting.
Day 5: Symptoms worsening. Doctors are taking notes excitedly. "See? The meat diet is failing already."
Day 7: Stefansson is genuinely ill. Severe diarrhea. Protein poisoning symptoms. He tells the doctors: "I need fat. The Inuit never eat lean meat alone."
Doctors: "No, we're testing the meat diet. This is meat."
Stefansson: "Lean meat will kill me. I've seen it happen in the Arctic. I need fat."
Doctors: "That's not scientific. Continue with lean meat."
Day 10: Stefansson is so ill he can barely stand. The hospital staff are preparing to declare the experiment a failure.
Stefansson, from his hospital bed: "Add fat or I'm leaving."
The doctors finally relent. They add fatty meat to his diet.
Within 48 hours: Symptoms gone. Completely. Diarrhea stops. Energy returns. Nausea vanishes.
The doctors are confused. They'd assumed protein was the issue. But it was the LACK OF FAT causing protein poisoning.
Stefansson continues for 51 more weeks eating fatty meat. Perfect health. No deficiencies. Published in JAMA 1930.
The lesson they should have learned: Fat isn't optional with protein. It's required.
The lesson they actually learned: [Nothing. They kept recommending lean meat for the next 90 years.]
