Ian Boudreau: "What you made with Sora mattered"  lol  No it didn't. I actually can't think of something that matters less than what you made with Sora        Dr Scecksy: Sora getting Kirked is 9/11 for people not capable of an internal monologue

As someone without an internal monologue and aphantasia I can confidentially say that this person is talking bullshit

As someone who also lacks internal monologue I'm grateful I have other higher brain functions that allowed me to identify comedic hyperbole and not get offended over nonsensical jokes.

It took me a moment to get it. At first I thought this was a reference to captain Kirk saying Sora died like a red shirt. The I was like oh yeah there was that forgettable man named Kirk that die.

As someone who has internal monologue: offensive language is subjective. Those are discriminate statements about someone's physical characteristics that are outside of their control. Similar statements about gender of skin color would be looked down on.

I am pretty sure the guy had some ment illness going on. I watched some videos after he died and he sounded like the guys at the group home I used to work at.

As someone with an internal monologue, but not sure it's mine, the whispers are getting louder, and they're starting to make convincing points.

this one's a little more rare but it's kind of like how "trumped up" has evolved from meaning "fraudulent" (e.g. "trumped up allegations") to also include "botched via arrogance and/or incompetence" (e.g. "Donnie really trumped up that hundred year alliance with one lazy tweet")

Is not having an internal monologue a disability?

It's also pretty insulting for something that might have just been me understanding something wrong, having nothing to do with brain function

It's an ability that some people don't have, and referring to people without that ability as if they're stupid is pretty balatantly problematic

I could be wrong but I think you have that backwards.

It was an AI video generator from openAI backed by Disney but open AI decided to shutter it (we can discuss why, ie the reasons they gave and the real reason but thats not this comment) which caused Disney to pull support for openAI being that video creation is what they were after.

They announced a deal at the time but it was mostly just pr, no money changed hands yet and now it will just be nothing happened ever.
