This video was generated by Sora. That's the new model by OpenAI. The most advanced text-to-video tool created so far. I'll share the videos here. Absolutely insane. Prompt: This close-up shot of a Victoria crowned pigeon showcases its striking blue plumage and red chest. Its crest is made of delicate, lacy feathers, while its eye is a striking red color. The bird’s head is tilted slightly to the side, giving the impression of it looking regal and majestic. The background is blurred, drawing attention to the bird’s striking appearance.

#googlecloud and #azure results were out last night, via their parent companies. Decent for both, with Google deceleration causing a share price blip (doubtless briefly!) linkedin.com/posts/chris-bun…

Simple case study on the importance of security by default... (or 'how to hack a search engine')

I hacked into a @Bing CMS that allowed me to alter search results and take over millions of @Office365 accounts. How did I do it? Well, it all started with a simple click in @Azure… 👀 This is the story of #BingBang 🧵⬇️

This is ridiculous, Netflix's monthly EC2 spend was $19M in 2020 (source: contino.io/insights/whos-usi…) when EVERYONE was binging TV shows at home. No way an SEO company would spend anywhere near that. Did someone forget to tell them the E in EC2 stands for "elastic"?
