THIS ALSO CHANGES THE FOCUS! You've put the background in focus to make this "immersive" and now you've taken one of the most visually wondrous films ever shot and made it look flat and uninteresting. Awful, awful, awful.
Why do AI guys think that stripping an image of any natural texture is the coolest thing ever? This is horrendous
what's craziest here is actually that the background in the original shot is out of focus and they just decided to "un-do" that. in the video they zoom out and Dorothy is actually like 1% of the frame. most of what you're looking at in this shot now is an AI-generated backdrop.

"The Wizard of Oz” gets a high-tech transformation at Sphere Las Vegas, using cutting-edge AI to enhance the original film in stunning 16K detail. Grainy close-ups become crystal-clear and characters like Uncle Henry are digitally extended to fit the massive screen. It's the…
Why do you need to use ai to illustrate a crow there are so many real pictures
Crows can hold a grudge against a human for up to 17 years. Seventeen years! That’s nearly two decades of memory of remembering a face, a voice, or a feeling.
This is “the technological wedge” - it gets inserted between people & the world, initially as a novelty. Then the more that the wedge is pushed in, the more people depend on the tech, the more separated they get from a world that they can only experience through the technology.

Do not normalize this. This is fascism.
We can’t let this get lost in the noise.

"Americans have to spend 15% more to purchase stuff from Europe. Europeans face no such penalty when purchasing stuff from the US." Seem pretty easy tbh.
The Democrats and Media trying to explain how America imposing a 15% tariff on EU imports and the EU imposing a 0% tariff on American imports is a loss for President Trump and Americans.
it was acceptable to be an avatar non-believer before way of water but if you're not on board for this now it's just kind of sad and boring and tragic

"The AI boom is now bigger than the ’90s dotcom bubble—and it’s built on the backs of bots, maybe more than real users," per FORTUNE
I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them. This is dragon 1 of 5
Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
To fully grasp how big a trillion actually is. A million seconds is 11 days A billion seconds is 31 years A trillion seconds is 31709 years There’s something deeply evil about the idea of a trillionaire actually existing

Genuinely the dumbest company in the 2020s, has no direction at all and is basically skating by due to actual creatives trying their best
Warner Bros will be named Warner Bros again Warner Bros Discovery is splitting in half into Warner Bros (streaming & movie studio assets) and Discovery Global (cable networks)
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
Tear them down and build housing. There is no way this should be challenging. Every abandoned mall should be hundreds of new apartments.
60 years ago, big box stores were the cutting edge of retail Now they are ending up abandon like this: A big challenge in the future is what are we going to do with all these buildings…
You know what's more impressive. 1400 grams of fat, salt protein and carbs using 80w of power wifh 100 trillion connections that can build machines like this.

The Kids Online Safety Act is the US equivalent of the EU's Digital Services Act and UK's Online Safety Act. If passed, it will lead to digital identity, total deanonymization of the internet, and massive censorship. It was reintroduced to Congress May 2025.
