Flagged dead on HN, to nobody's surprise. There's a couple of fascists on there, but that's about it. There's more fascists on lemmy.ml, too.

A year in, there’s just one problem — AI video still doesn’t work. Two people told The Wrap: [The Wrap]
The Lionsgate catalog is too small to create a model. In fact, the Disney catalog is too small to create a model.
Google Veo 3 can’t keep a scene together, keep characters consistent, or take direction — and that’s training on twenty years of YouTube.
Oh no, who could have seen this coming (except every single artist both inside and outside the film industry)
Who’s left to do actual work? Who would start a new project that depends on these institutions? Does ruby just die now?
Honestly, it probably will. The RubyGems takeover shattered any trust people had in the Ruby ecosystem - that's something which is damn-nigh impossible to recover from.
A full timeline on the RubyGems takeover has been put together - looks like the entire situation's been caused by pressure from Shopify.
Found a well-done essay by Jared White recently: AI Apologists and the Humanist Legacy of Steve Jobs, which does a good job sneering the ideology of AI and arguing for a more pro-human approach to tech.
As far as I can tell, Keir Starmer. Which goes some way to explaining how quickly he's run Labour into the ground.
EDIT: And running the UK straight into the ground as well, can't believe I forgot to mention that
In my experience, people who support AI overwhelmingly tend to be stupid and malicious in equal measure, so seeing Tony "Bomb The Browns" Blair support it does not shock me.
Starting this Stubsack off with Brian Merchant's newest article: The Luddite Renaissance is in full swing
Well, I'll give them the text equivalent of a "you tried" sticker for finally admitting their automatic bullshit machines produce (gasp) bullshit, but the main sneerable thing I see is the ISO Standard OpenAI Anthropomo-
the developers actively selected for bullshit generation

(Maximising lies extruded per ocean boiled was definitely what they were going for in hindsight, but it geniunely cracks me up to see them come out and just say it)
And yet people are willing to call him an “AI theorist” or an “AI researcher”.
Its technically correct to call him both - he "theorises" about a pseudoscientific idea that conflates the living, breathing human mind with spicy autocomplete, and "researches" how plagiarism-fueled lying machines can magically become omniscient omnipotent acausal robot gods and turn all of humanity into paperclips.
Honestly, I don't see a way for grifters to wedge themselves into sneerspaces - not easily, at least.
Grifters require some degree of uncritical hype to get by in a space - given sneerspaces are built to make fun of such uncritical hype, building it up here would be very difficult, if not damn-nigh impossible.
Besides, there's much more lucrative spaces for grifters to venture into, like venture capital.
