Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

It's kind of a weird deal, because we know it's not going to happen. British Columbians (indigenous peoples and otherwise) will never tolerate another pipeline passing through the province, no matter how much Danielle Smith whines about it.

Disappointing to see this from the PM, nonetheless.

Canada and Alberta are focused on what we can control: building a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive, and more independent economy together.

If you know #gamedev folks in London (or UK) I would be very thankful if you could share the post below about my #ux masterclass on Dec 12. My reach on social media is not what it used to be (ty, Elon..) and people don’t seem to get the info so reposts are much appreciated, thanks a bunch! 🙏🏼

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.

But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.

Waiting for the feds?
