daily ai news satire pilot
first episode of a daily ai-generated news satire short — onion-deadpan narration over bleach manga anime visuals
On Tuesday, OpenAI reported quarterly numbers that missed across the board. Internally, the CFO grew concerned the company may not be able to afford the roughly $600 billion in future compute commitments it's signed for.
The same week, Google announced a $40 billion investment in Anthropic, the company that competes with Google. Amazon added another $20 billion. Across four companies, AI spending this year is on track to clear $700 billion — most of which OpenAI may not be able to pay for.
The future is here. It just hasn't paid the bill.
