The film works as a compendium of video-reports, approaching aesthetics through gaming culture, digital frameworks, scientific graphics, surveillance technologies and internet pirate culture. It is heavily inspired by James Ballard’s Atrocity Exhibition, Peter Wollen’s Friendship’s Death, CCRU’s “skin crawlers”, Hito Steyerl theories on digital images and the reports in relation with the HuggingFace hacking by OpenAI agents this past summer.
The project is a full length science fiction movie. The film works as a curated compendium of video-reports, approaching aesthetics through gaming culture, digital frameworks, scientific graphics, surveillance technologies and internet pirate culture. It is heavily inspired by James Ballard’s Atrocity Exhibition, Peter Wollen’s Friendship’s Death and several reports in relation with the HuggingFace hacking by OpenAI agents this past summer. The movie has been done using mostly custom generative software and self-made video games oriented towards the project. It has taken me months to finish. Here is is at x280 speed, compressed in around 15 seconds.

“The complete DI/ODE begins with ‘the hightide of democracy’ & ends at the number of The Beast in the Book of Revelations, to depict the dystopian crumbling of the ‘Amerikan century bought & sold.’ Unpredictable, insightful & vital.” (Pam Brown, author of Guess The Experience) ↓

Este libro de Vilém Flusser se publicó originalmente en alemán en 1987. Plantea q la escritura tradicional alfabética se encamina hacia su obsolescencia por 2 caminos q se fusionarán: el retorno a las imágenes técnicas y el avance hacia los números y el cálculo computacional. 1/2

Excited to release Discourse, a tech forum for the modern era. discourse.cosign.co Today, the discourse in tech is either free for all (broadcast social networks) or completely private (group chats). There’s no midsize social network where a few thousand tech leaders talk to each other. We'll have a hybrid model. Some people will have access to post directly, and everyone else's posts will go through a queue. We'll start with ~5,000 white-listed people, and more people who post smart comments will be given direct access over time. Discourse is built off the @cosign graph and will be embedded into the platform. We’ve partnered with our favorite monitors to make sense of what’s happening in real time. P.S. True to form, I actually built a version of this a decade ago called @beondeckdaily, inspired by Hacker News.

David Ellison joins X. X is the global town square.
What once was the peak, is now just the beginning. Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first home for bold, quality storytelling. We chose this name for a few important reasons. First and foremost, as we bring Paramount and Warner Bros. together, we wanted to preserve what has made each of these studios iconic. Both have distinct identities, extraordinary legacies and brands that have resonated with audiences for generations. We never wanted a new corporate identity to diminish, alter or overshadow either one. Instead, we wanted a name that would give the combined company an identity of its own while allowing Paramount and Warner Bros. — and all our extraordinary brands — to remain in the spotlight. We have big goals for Skydance, and we intend to pursue them with passion, imagination and a willingness to take smart risks. At the same time, we will honor what makes Paramount and Warner Bros. special — giving both studios the opportunity to grow, tell more great stories and bring those stories to even broader audiences around the world, powered by the scale and capabilities of Skydance. I couldn’t be more excited about what we’re going to build together.

Up, up, and away. 🚀 Today, in partnership with @planet, we launched a prototype satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit on @SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. This launch is the first step of Project Suncatcher, our long-term research moonshot to see whether we can one day host scalable machine learning infrastructure in space. Over the coming weeks, we'll gather in-orbit data on how our TPUs handle the physical stress, radiation, and thermal extremes of space. Whatever we learn, we'll use it to refine our future designs.

Do you know how bad a product must be to be called 'absolute shit' compared to Microsoft Teams?
The European Commission has rolled out an alternative to Microsoft Teams. But officials using it aren't impressed, with one describing the tool as “absolute shit.” vist.ly/5kje9
