đŸ€– OpenAI buys Sky, an AI interface for Mac

TechCrunch

Sky is a product I actually thought could have some real utility. Security was always the issue though, and now that OpenAI controls them, I’m not sure I’d want OpenAI to be able to essentially see everything I do on my computer.

đŸ€– The sort of mother fucker who makes SlopTok

Birchtree

I think people who are high on Sora 2 as The Next Great Thing are giving the same energy as those who thought Clubhouse was going to kill podcasts a few years ago or that NFTs were actually a great idea and were totally not just a bubble that would immediately pop.

Yes, exactly. And this is why I always said people who have zero concerns about AI are living in the clouds. Financially, economically, environmentally, ethically, and culturally—there are major concerns across all five of these areas. And the people in charge of these companies don’t give a fuck about any of it.

đŸ€– A cartoonist's review of AI art

The Oatmeal

Artists hate using it. Consumers hate consuming it And yet it thrives, like an Arby’s built inside a protected forest.

This whole comic nails it—especially that line. The only people excited about AI art are those who see it as some sort of tech bro hustle culture. But real artists, actual fans, and people already a part of these communities want and expect more from their art—even if they can’t always tell something was AI. Art I about humanity and connection and no matter how good AI gets at replicating things (keyword: replicating), it can never connect on a human level because (and I hope this is obvious) AI will never be human.

đŸ€– AI-Directed movie ‘The Sweet Idleness’ releases trailer amid AI actor Tilly Norwood controversy: ‘the first movie’ made by an ‘AI agent’

Variety

The film is “conceived to celebrate the poetic and dreamlike language of great European cinema” and directed “by an AI agent” called “FellinAI,” according to a statement.

This is gross. And not just because it’s removing the humanity—an essential component of art—from the creation, but it genuinely looks terrible. Can you imagine sitting through two hours of this ugly monstrosity? And yeah, I know, the tech will get better and not look this bad—eventually—but god is it ugly today.

đŸ€– OpenAI launches a social network

Platformer

On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced Sora, an iOS app that lets you create and share 10-second, AI-generated video clips in a feed. It was designed to look familiar, OpenAI employees said in a live broadcast on Tuesday morning, and indeed Sora closely resembles TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Honestly, bring on the AI slop to all of these apps. Maybe I can finally beat my scrolling addiction. The idea of “perfectly personalized entertainment” made just for me by some LLM is repulsive. It goes against the definition of “art,” which is about human expression, provoking feelings, and communicating with others. I don’t want to watch some random crap that a robot made for only me to see.
