Friendly Neighborhood Butlerian

It’s a new year, and as promised, I updated it. May this be the year the bubble pops and the reckoning comes for the Machine Worshippers.

@elonmusk @grok Doubling down on useless slop.

The next @Grok Imagine release will be epic. We are doubling down.

@StealthQE4 So we are 11 days away from the AI Bubble potentially popping…fine by me.

Ummm. Just think of the consequences here. $NVDA can’t make chips without $TSM ‘s infrastructure platform. So we are 11 days away from chip Armageddon unless $TSM can acquire its own oil tanker. Tik Tok

@gabriel1 This didn’t age well. Lol.

we are going to have sora 3 before gta 6

@GBBranstetter I don’t know if Sora was being used for CSAM, but Grok Imagine Slop sure was.

@Dr_Gingerballs Lol, unfortunately I haven’t paid to use Elon’s internet so I don’t have access to his SlopBot since it’s behind the paywall now.

@TheOneButlerian I don't know. Be the change in the world you want to see.

I have shown my son the dark art of AI penis generation. Getting through the filter is the challenge. I have never seen him more motivated to learn how to type than trying to prompt chatbots to generate these beauties. It's a learning cheat code.

@Dr_Gingerballs Does this work with Grok Imagine? Seems like Elon has little to no guardrails on his SlopBot so it might not be as fun trying to bypass nonexistent guardrails.

@futurism @JOEBOTxyz He probably should follow Altman in ditching the Slop and trying focus on what actually brings ROI.

It's in deep trouble. trib.al/OfczTuL

@zerohedge I wouldn’t want to negotiate with Jared either. Everyone knows he’s just trying to make a buck.

IRAN REFUSES PEACE TALKS WITH TRUMP'S 'BACKSTABBING' NEGOTIATORS': TELEGRAPH

@StealthQE4 Feels like Ukraine where they eventually had to go out and drag old men to the frontline. No one wants to fight this war.

Ooof Recruiting problems.

Humiliation for OpenAI as Disney pull their planned $1 billion investment. And Sora - the slop generating video app is shutting down.

@Breaking911 It’s a great victory for humanity and the Internet as a whole. We might be close to the light at the end of this tunnel of the AI Slopocalypse.

NEW: OpenAI is shutting down its AI video platform Sora.

@Daily_MailUS It’s the AI Slop Centers. Pull the plug!

A mysterious humming noise has been reported in neighborhoods across several US states, rattling homes and leaving residents struggling to sleep. 🔗 trib.al/0o1AbTy

@alextumay @RoseSilicon

AI is inevitable. You can tell by how no one wants it and it’s losing money left and right.

@sama If it’s gonna do any of that AI has to get out of the slop business or no one will take those predictions seriously.

AI will help discover new science, such as cures for diseases, which is perhaps the most important way to increase quality of life long-term. AI will also present new threats to society that we have to address. No company can sufficiently mitigate these on their own; we will need a society-wide response to things like novel bio threats, a massive and fast change to the economy, extremely capable models causing complex emergent effects across society, and more. These are the areas the OpenAI Foundation will initially focus on, and in my opinion are some of the most important ones for us to get right. The Foundation will spend at least $1 billion over the next year. @woj_zaremba, co-founder of OpenAI, will transition to Head of AI Resilience. I believe that shifting how the world thinks about safety to include a Resilience-style approach is critical, and I am extremely grateful to Wojciech for taking on this role. Wojciech has been my cofounder for the last decade; anyone who knows him will understand what I mean when I say he is one of a kind. He has a lot of ideas about how we build a new kind of AI safety. @JacobTref is joining as Head of Life Sciences and Curing Diseases. @annaadeola, our VP of Global Impact, will transition to Head of AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy. @robert_kaiden is joining as Chief Financial Officer. @jeffarnold is joining as Director of Operations.

@Variety May their GPUs chip and shatter.

OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform variety.com/2026/digital/n…

@Variety Good! Let’s pop this bubble at last!

OpenAI is discontinuing Sora, the generative AI video platform it launched last year: • The company did not provide a reason for the decision • The shutdown comes just months after OpenAI struck a major deal with Disney, which would have allowed Sora to generate user-prompted videos using more than 200 characters across Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars variety.com/2026/digital/n…
