I wasn’t thrilled about WBD looking for a buyer and would’ve preferred it stayed independent. But between the two companies competing for it, Netflix is far less concerning. I never believed Paramount would give James Gunn the freedom they promised, and I’m already uneasy with them owning Star Trek.

Microsoft announcing yet another Halo CE remaster
Just use Claude Code ffs. Even at the $20 per month tier you get more Sonnet requests than 93. That’s just pitiful.
Perplexity Search? Great.
Comet browser? Promising.
But their models?
The entire Sonar line is just Llama 3.3 fine-tunes.
$20B feels… optimistic.

Some people are out here shedding real tears over losing access to GPT-4o/o3 like it’s their childhood friend moving to the other side of the world. Buddy… it’s just new firmware.
This headline is obvious right-wing ragebait, but Vikings did settle in Muslim Spain (Seville, 844 CE) and there’s archaeological evidence some converted to Islam. Teaching about Muslim Vikings isn’t ‘woke’ - it’s documented history. Not the norm, but not preposterous either.
If your TikTok starts with ‘I tried the viral assblaster 5000’ but it’s literally the first time I’ve ever heard of it AND there’s a TikTok Shop link… Sure bestie, super viral. Anyway imma swipe away now.
GitHub Copilot joins Replit in having annoying usage limits as of this week. Cursor ruthlessly crushes context sizes so the agent can't remember anything. One day of using Zencoder and thngs are looking very interesting now.
There aren’t any fanboy flame wars because every other week there’s a new “best model” being released so then that chatbot becomes the new “best” chatbot.
Whichever chatbot you use the most is going to be the most useful to you because that’s the one that has the most context ABOUT you.
