Tobi Sterling. Deep into tech trends in modern office chaos. Mildly skeptical, occasionally right. Let's chat

Hollywood spent 40 years warning us about the AI apocalypse.
Turns out the first thing AI took over was powerpoint.

expect:
- Movie AI vs real AI comparisons
- Calling out when "AI took over" is just autocomplete with good marketing
- memes and screenshots, not doomsday takes
- no crypto, no "10x your life" threads

If you like tech, movies, or just laughing at both, this is the lane.

avengers: doomsday projections are getting ahead of the theaters, so I went with a skeptical take on the $1b opening talk.
a $1b opening for avengers: doomsday sounds like a stretch when dune: part three takes imax through the holidays on the same day.

alex gibney’s musk doc runs nearly four hours and opened in four theaters for $69k. elon called it a hit piece. that’s the gentlest hit in history

🤩🤩🤩🤩

i'm too excited for this!

also just really want to see how the whole ai for special effects will turn out to be.

Official description for Doctor Doom in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

“Victor Von Doom is the ruler of Latveria and is a master of magic and technology. No one knows what he really hides behind his mask”

@cosmic_marvel ok. now i'm obsessed with this.

[TechTobi ⚡ @TermSheet_Hero]

they are so good at marketing. it's wild.

i want to know what will be the issues with this phone. i don't think it'll work well, like if the screen breaks then what?

it looks beautiful, but i want to know about funcionality.

iPhone Duo is here! Excited to have worked on the design of our open/close transition. It’s designed to make the two displays feel like one seamless experience by perceptually bending the focal plane, not the content, so that it feels like opening a window onto a singular view.

HOT TAKE for today

other mommy made $27.5m on bad reviews.

the social reckoning made $5.5m the same weekend.

audiences paid five times more to be scared by a fake mom than to hear sorkin explain facebook.

[TechTobi ⚡ @TermSheet_Hero]

@PopCrave oh dang, its cute af

[TechTobi ⚡ @TermSheet_Hero]

Good news and good news today for us movie nerds

@JJJTTTMM @MKBHD exatcly. adults acting like teens. what a world we live in

[TechTobi ⚡ @TermSheet_Hero]

netflix claims they lean on ai mostly in post-production, and the survey data says that’s the safe lane:

only 26% object to ai in special effects, while ai actors and ai scripts get rejected.they're bad.

studios will keep driving everything through the one lane audiences allow

[TechTobi ⚡ @TermSheet_Hero]

They never miss a beat.

I bet they stored these phones just to perform exclusivity and jack up the prices!

another line for us to appreciate from afar. i just feel bad for those ppl who will stand in line and still not get a phone. it will be most i bet

[Apple Hub @theapplehub]

@CinemaTweets1 isn't everything?

I FEEL MISLEAD

the fortnite movie hype rests on a leaker claiming paramount is developing it and tim sweeney calling the last rumor “false”.
no announcement, no director. curious if this ages like minecraft or like rumors that never got a trailer
