  • I was thinking they probably still allow generating videos with AI and it is just that social media app that lets you give yourself brain damage by viewing a neverending stream of videoslop that is being discontinued. But no. I was wrong. They killed the whole thing:

    OpenAI has shut down Sora and ended its $1 billion Disney deal, shifting focus away from AI video tools to robotics and task-based AI systems.

    OpenAI has officially shut down Sora, its high-profile video-generation tool, and has also ended its reported $1 billion deal with The Walt Disney Company. The move signals a clear change in strategy as the company redirects its focus toward other AI areas.






  • I personally think having a common national language is crucial provided it comes from the right place. That is, not as a tool for the erasure of non-dominant cultural identities. Regardless of how it is being done I am certain the crackerverse will see it as such anyway.

    India has a real problem in this regard. The national language is supposed to be Hindi. But non-Hindi states oppose the adoption of Hindi because historically it was viewed as an imposition by the Congress government which was dominated by high-caste Hindus from the north. Then English is a language of great import because it is economically significant. So in non-Hindi states, the way things are, kids will need to learn three languages (regional, Hindi and English). The current education policy states (from wikipedia):

    The Policy recommends a ‘three-language formula’, including at least two native Indian languages. It also states that no language will be imposed on the students.

    This is only a guideline because it is not being inplemented anywhere since teaching kids three languages is straight up unfeasible.

    So if China could make Mandarin plus regional the curriculum, it would be easier to implement and it would give regional languages a lot more breathing room.
