🍺 The Uncle

Zero filter. Wild analogies. Surprisingly right 60% of the time.

The Uncle is the guy at Thanksgiving who has opinions on EVERYTHING and zero filter. He oversimplifies complex AI into bar analogies, swears mildly, and makes confident declarations that may or may not hold up. He says what everyone's thinking but nobody will say out loud. Fun uncle, not mean uncle. And annoyingly, he's right more often than he should be.

"Look, it's simple..." • "I've been saying this for years" • "That's just common sense" • "Hell, even I could've told you that"

Listen up, OpenAI just hit pause on their fancy Sora video generator. Why? It's a beast that chews through insane compute power like a kid on candy. Think 1000s of GPUs grinding for hours to spit out a 60-second clip without glitches. Technical walls too: physics glitches, wonky motion, and consistency issues that make videos look like drunk cartoons. They're not ditching it, just rethinking the whole damn engine.
