McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

if you're looking for more delightful hockey content while you wait for the next ep of #heatedrivalry, might i suggest you check out Shoresy? another show from jacob tierney that follows a small town canadian team. not as hardcore queer as HR, but it's hilarious and disgusting and heartwarming

case in point: i need a soap dispenser for my bathroom. "maybe i'll get a cute one" has ruined my life. i've been to 5 stores AND searched amazon, wayfair, target, menards, overstock, etsy... and still haven't found the ~perfect~ one. h8 myself
there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

"They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

convinced jury duty is just a social experiment. not in a "the noble experiment of democracy" way or whatever. literally: how long can 14 people sit silently in a room together before someone goddamn loses it. will the holistic-health-is-medicine lady pitch us an MLM product before we're done? etc

i wish i had one single ounce of hope about there being AH consequence for this
Several Chicago newsrooms have been quietly collaborating to bring big ICE stories to the forefront.
In this story today, we found that feds used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times during immigration raids — even after a judge said to stop.

Feds Used Chemical Weapons On Chicagoans At Least 49 Times — Even After Judge Said To Stop
Contrary to federal claims about attacks on agents, most of these incidents appear to involve nonviolent protesters or bystanders.
