Survey says 60 per cent of US can't afford minimum standard of living. Survey calls it the "bottom 60 per cent", so did CBS. You know what I call the bottom 60 per cent? THE FUCKING MAJORITY of us!
fcrOpenAI just shut down its Sora video generator. It seems we're witnessing the beginning of the end of the GenAI bubble.
Hyperscalers like OpenAI never had realistic business models, but the Iran war and soaring energy costs have made these models even less viable.
If OpenAI is forced to evaluate the profitability of its services, it will likely keep military and B2B services, as well as cheaper, less computationally demanding text generators.
OpenAI has an added problem: compared to Anthropic's Claude, ChatGPT is now like Altavista's search engine compared to Google's in 1998. This realization is slowly seeping into the mainstream.
Due to its investments in data centers and contracts with computer hardware manufacturers, OpenAI has single-handedly drained the personal computer market of GPUs, SSDs, RAM, and hard drives. Exploding prices mean that local AI systems (local LLMs and image generators) are no longer viable alternatives for most people. This creates a bottleneck for AI image generation, from Sora to other AI image generator services.
The end of Sora could mean that OpenAI is in trouble and that the long-predicted AI industry crash similar to the 2000 dot-com crash is near.
Erik Uden đ©weird how sora AI generated videos were the future until they weren't. first domino to fall in the coming collapse of the AI bubble

Low Quality FactsReporter: Are you concerned that ICE agents are not qualified to operate as TSA agents?
Trump: In their defense, they're not qualified to work at ICE either.
Matt BlazeIf I understand correctly, the ICE agents assigned to the TSA arenât actually screening passengers or baggage. Theyâre just standing around providing âsecurityâ (something the airport police already were doing).
What a joke.

Ruth MottramI mean this is to he surprise of absolutely nobody, surely? It's been obvious for years and the EU should long ago have worked out how to eject members.

@VoltEuropa - Viktor OrbĂĄn has turned Hungary into a Trojan horse inside the European Union. And the problem is - our current rules allow this to keep happening đ€Ż
OrbĂĄnâs foreign minister was calling Moscow during breaks in EU meetings to give his Russian counterpart âlive updatesâ on what we were discussing.
Think about that for a second.
