Sora and Starfleet Academy cancelled on the same day. Coincidence? SoraAI and OpenAI have some ‘splaining to do.

Making an animated version of a popular live action anything is merely a bone toss to fans and I don’t bother watching.

I’d like to think I created more than just AI slop with Sora. RIP Sora

Welllllll shit!!!!!!

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

I used to get so excited to watch The Oscars. Now I just look over the list of winners and then check my TikTok views.

Havana Syndrome fake teaser trailer concept!

People despise AI. Can Seth Macfarlane lead the way for acceptance? Not anytime soon I’m guessing! Hollywood is safe. (Clip of Seth from a recent Variety interview.)

@sithdaddyvlogs thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/disney-op… How does this factor in?

So many haters in the comments. A couple of vocal anti-AI purists, sure - but mostly people repeating the same line: “It’s copyright infringement. What did you expect?” Let’s get a few things straight. 1) Disney and the state of Star Wars. Disney has been running this franchise into the ground for years. Meanwhile, fans are the ones keeping it alive. From a pure business perspective, fan content actually fuels interest in a half-comatose franchise that might’ve been buried already if not for the community. These videos keep the conversation going, keep nostalgia alive, and keep younger audiences engaged. There are entire channels producing high-quality AI-assisted Star Wars content - SkywalkerStories, Star Wars Stories Untold, Star Wars: Lost Legends, to name a few. They’re far from banned. All using AI. Go check them out. 2) I make parodies. Parody falls under fair use. Yes, in practice that’s hard to defend, and platforms like YouTube often avoid nuance. But by the logic of people saying “you deserved it,” no one should ever joke about anything involving someone else’s IP. That’s absurd. YouTube is full of parody — AI or not. That’s not some fringe loophole; it’s a core part of internet culture. 3) The real issue: rules must be clear and applied consistently. If a platform has policies, they should be transparent and enforced predictably. Otherwise, we’re in corporate roulette territory - any channel can disappear at any time. That’s not how a healthy creative ecosystem works. Even Donald Trump had his channel removed at one point. If that can happen at that level, what protection does a small creator have? You build your business for years, and then it gets eliminated with a finger snap of a corporation overlord. This isn’t about entitlement. It’s about consistency and fair process. Anyway, here is another one of my AI-slop videos. Enjoy.

You can tell me that Starfleet Academy is trying a third time (?) to bring the male miniskirt to Star Trek - that’s fine. You can tell me we have a gay Klingon now - not surprised. But combining both just doesn’t work. Let me be clear - the show is awful. For many reasons.

@JamesUrbaniak It’s like AI interpreted the contents.

Love when the Post Office sends me Bound Printed Matter (street name "book")

Should have doubled down and just went for it in the Masters of the Universe trailer. He-Man can take the haters.

The Pasadena Rose Parade just isn’t what it used to be, thanks to Mother Nature!!

HBOMax’s Heated Rivalry is attracting new viewers left and right. And some of them are hockey fans!

Merry Christmas from The DKFuel family to you and yours.

Very sad to learn of the passing of Chris Rea. I’ve been promoting his HUGE UK Christmas hit every year here to US ears since first hearing it six years ago and am now sorry that this year’s promotion of it is a eulogy. RIP Chris Rea.

Dear Hollywood: do better. It’s ok to be inspired by what you saw growing up.

Embrace societal norms!

@historigins Posting this to X and expecting praise or anything remotely positive is HILARIOUS. X is negativity and assholes, guys!!!

The moment Adele paused her concert to defend a fan being bullied

No Joe Dante involvement is inconceivable and quite brutal.
