Gotta love the zoomers for their sense of humor.
OH THAT KIRK!
It took me a moment to get it. At first I thought this was a reference to captain Kirk saying Sora died like a red shirt. The I was like oh yeah there was that forgettable man named Kirk that die.
never did people pay as much attention to this guy as immediately after his death
I am pretty sure the guy had some ment illness going on. I watched some videos after he died and he sounded like the guys at the group home I used to work at.
Yeah, I saw him, thought "asshole" and switched to something else.
this one's a little more rare but it's kind of like how "trumped up" has evolved from meaning "fraudulent" (e.g. "trumped up allegations") to also include "botched via arrogance and/or incompetence" (e.g. "Donnie really trumped up that hundred year alliance with one lazy tweet")
Oh! Charlie, not Captain. This makes a lot more sense.
Lowkirkenuinely after kirky got kirked in the neck people started making memes about him.
Hoo boy my ESL brain is short circuiting trying to read that first word.
I hope this is not copyrighted because it's as dark as brilliant
Reading this makes me feel like I'm having a stroke
Please no
That human shit stain deserves to be forgotten as quickly as possible
He's already a meme
He was always a meme.
He died the way he lived, being a human shitpost. Imagine your last words being a dog whistle "counting or not counting gang violence"
I also heard it as metaphor for a blowjob, kirked- shot in the neck- getting neck
Hmm, never had a side of the neck blowjob
Is sora what was used to create the AI narrator for my company’s training videos this last year? Good god they looked terrible, why even bother, just have the voice over top of the slide graphics
There are all kinds of AI avatar narrators.
Sora getting Kirked is the funniest way to describe that energy 😭
As someone without an internal monologue and aphantasia I can confidentially say that this person is talking bullshit
Edit: The commenter not OOP
As someone who also lacks internal monologue I'm grateful I have other higher brain functions that allowed me to identify comedic hyperbole and not get offended over nonsensical jokes.
As someone who has internal monologue: offensive language is subjective. Those are discriminate statements about someone's physical characteristics that are outside of their control. Similar statements about gender of skin color would be looked down on.
As someone with an internal monologue, but not sure it's mine, the whispers are getting louder, and they're starting to make convincing points.
It's also pretty insulting for something that might have just been me understanding something wrong, having nothing to do with brain function
Which person are we talking about, the first or the second?
Nah, it's ableist bullshit and shouldn't be normalized
Is not having an internal monologue a disability?
It's an ability that some people don't have, and referring to people without that ability as if they're stupid is pretty balatantly problematic
The inside of your mind must be very peaceful...
Brutal
what is Sora? 🙈
Main charcater of kingdom hearts
I don't think that's related
Who knows, scholars are still trying to understand the story of that franchise
An AI generator thing that was backed by Disney. Disney pulled out and sora went under.
I could be wrong but I think you have that backwards.
It was an AI video generator from openAI backed by Disney but open AI decided to shutter it (we can discuss why, ie the reasons they gave and the real reason but thats not this comment) which caused Disney to pull support for openAI being that video creation is what they were after.
They announced a deal at the time but it was mostly just pr, no money changed hands yet and now it will just be nothing happened ever.
oh, that makes sense - thanks!

looks like it makes AI-generated videos from text prompts
Wonder if the feds will prevent investigations like they did with Charlie
