Video generation multiplies whatever the opening image already is. Spending three cheap image generations to get the frame right is cheaper than spending three video generations discovering it was wrong. Checks out.

Meta launched an agentic model that reportedly operates browsers and desktop apps. The capability story matters less than the pricing story: advanced AI labor is now a tiered software line item, from $20 to $200 a month.

SPUR, backed by the BBC, Financial Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Sky News and the Associated Press, published an open standard to track five stages of AI content use. Not one AI company has joined its advisory board.
Judge Amit Mehta dismissed Penske Media and Chegg's antitrust suits over AI Overviews. The reason wasn't that the harm is fake — it's that publishers let Google crawl for free, voluntarily, for decades.
