I figured I'd post a little bit of my Matrix Resurrections work here. These were done under the production design of Hugh Bateup and Peter Walpole, and the direction of Lana Wachowski. These are some designs from IO, including Niobe's keep and the Morpheus shrine. Hope you enjoy!

It's clearly AI right?
You can see Secretary Duffy’s reaction as Secretary Mullin says the newer technology was overwhelming the system.

They're lying through their teeth about what happened. "One controller put it this way: “He said they were updating equipment. They absolutely do not do that during the day. The do it mid weeks during the middle of the night when flights are at the lowest.”
Talking to a lot of air traffic controllers and folks at FAA. One thing I want to draw attention to… Duffy and Mullin said the failure happened as a result of updating old systems. One controller put it this way: “He said they were updating equipment. They absolutely do not do that during the day. The do it mid weeks during the middle of the night when flights are at the lowest.”

I'd put money on AI being involved with this too. The wheels are falling off.
#BREAKING: Workday outage reportedly hits Walmart, Target, Chipotle and Skechers.

NEW: The FAA tells me it's rolling out its AI flight-routing tool nationwide. The goal? Fewer delays and shorter flight times. I got a look at how it works—including one flight the FAA says saved 42 minutes. But there are concerns about safety and oversight.

I really need the world to understand that compressing paragraphs into a summary is kind of like compressing a photo to a lower resolution: The more you do it, the less information is there. You are not getting all of the original picture. You’re losing color and it’s all blurry.

The FAA just implemented a new AI air traffic control system called SMART yesterday, and now they have an outage with all flights grounded across the nation. Between this and Microsoft yesterday, AI is costing billions of dollars in collateral damage. AI is absolutely cooked.

DAIR hosted the panel I was on at FAccT regarding AI and its impact on artists all the way back in 2023. You should follow Timnit if you aren't already and consider pre-ordering her book, she's been right about everything since the beginning and everyone should be listening.
This trailer by my publisher @OneSignalPub tells the story of how I founded @DAIRInstitute, which turns 5 this December! My book DEEP UNLEARNING argues that we don't have to settle for the technological path charted by gazillionaires. ✴️Preorder at simonandschuster.com/books/D…

Whatever they say, it's almost guaranteed AI code and implementation played a role in this, but they can't admit it without accelerating the bubble bursting and tanking their stock.
We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services. This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions. Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration. We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete.

A group of Microsoft employees have circulated an open letter warning that aggressive, mandatory integration of AI tools, - often with little training - has degraded workflow quality, forced staff to clean up poor AI output and caused a slump in morale. Link below👇

The irony in Microsoft not recovering from this outage AFTER laying off 60,000 employees to rely on AI…

The entire AI industry is ran by dangerous, incompetent clowns.
NEW: In further embarrassing AI executive news this evening, OpenAI's national security officials were tricked into thinking they were speaking to the Ukrainian Intelligence service. It was actually a Russian prank duo, and they uploaded the call online. theintercept.com/2026/11/11/…

2016. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The peeps at Microsoft claimed they were going to cure cancer in 10 years using Machine Learning. Senior researcher told Fortune that within 10 years cancer would be a "solved problem", treated at an individual level. In 2016.

Reminder: Seven months ago, Alex Karp issued a techno-fascist manifesto on this platform teapawt.org/PalantirTech/status/20…
Palantir CEO Alex Karp is signaling a shift toward Democrats following their midterm victories, criticizing Trump's immigration crackdown and Republicans' approach to economic justice. Despite securing billions in federal contracts under Trump, Karp said Democrats had corrected course enough to potentially win his support in 2028. “I've been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet,” Karp said. On immigration, Karp welcomed Trump's acknowledgment that enforcement had gone too far, saying: “I'm glad he's saying in public now what I've been saying in private.” Source: POLITICO

The conspiracy, according to them, is that someone has orchestrating outing him, like the existence of facts and the proliferation of them is an egregious assault that should be punished.
