Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
Whatever shambling corpse of Toys āRā Us still exists has released āthe first OpenAI SORA generated brand commercial.ā
It looks absolutely dire, particularly in motion, but posters are still falling over themselves to call it ācoolā and āexcitingā or claim that people āmight not noticeā that itās complete and utter arse.
That pictureā¦ Harry Potter and the Hole of Ketamine.
āDrugs are like that!ā

Oh my fucking god I know that video
this is the entire pitch of genAI, this is beat for beat a perfect analysis 4 years before all of this bullshit actually happened
Nah, theyād be able to immediately tell from just how fucking garbage it is
It makes me wonder if these people have ever seen a moving picture before, because being caught up in the slack-jawed astonishment of a novel experience seems the only plausible explanation for thinking this looks good.
Has someone tried generating a train running at the camera and seeing if one of the AI bros dies of a heart attack?
AI or not this is an incredibly depressing advert, what the fuck. They went for whimsy and produced an elegy.
I see Sora still hasnāt cracked the nut of having longer output windows. or at producing things that arenāt deathly boring.
and what the fuck is up with that music? it sounds like a medical commercial selling hope

the thing is, people are again taking this as direct output of the regurgitating machine. i wouldnāt be at all surprised if there was a ton of editing going on to fix all of the most glaring issues, just like when sora was first announced.
Yes you can very clearly see what theyāve added in, thereās tons of matte stuff going on and cliparts of floating toys and whatever
If you look at the bottom right thatās exactly the case. They didnāt just type a prompt in SORA and call it a day.
