Tyler Perry has paused an $800m (£630m) expansion of his Atlanta studio complex after the release of OpenAI’s video generator Sora and warned that “a lot of jobs” in the film industry will be lost to artificial intelligence.

The US film and TV mogul said he was in the process of adding 12 sound stages to his studio but has halted those plans indefinitely after he saw demonstrations of Sora and its “shocking” capabilities.

“All of that is currently and indefinitely on hold because of Sora and what I’m seeing,” Perry said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. “I had gotten word over the last year or so that this was coming, but I had no idea until I saw recently the demonstrations of what it’s able to do. It’s shocking to me.”

The AI tool was launched on 15 February – with limited access to a few researchers and video creators – and caused widespread astonishment with its ability to produce realistic footage a minute long from simple text prompts.

Perry said the breakthroughs presented by Sora would affect a range of jobs throughout the film industry, including those of actors, editors, sound specialists and transportation crew.

He said: “I am very, very concerned that in the near future, a lot of jobs are going to be lost. I really, really feel that very strongly.”

Perry said an immediate example was the construction workers and contractors who would no longer work on his planned studio expansion because “there is no need to it”. He added that he used AI in two recently shot films in which the technology was used to age his face and help him avoid hours in the makeup chair.

I prefer the BK plant based whopper to things like the impossible burger where they try really hard to make it beef flavoured and greasy because it’s too realistic and a bit gross.
Embrace the clean plant based future. Live in the pod, etc.

Research from 2021 states it has been shown to cause infertility. They compiled data from all availiable research and sorted it into categories and one was specifically on how it effects males.

"6.2.5. Male Reproductive System

Male infertility, most commonly, low sperm number and motility, is becoming a well-linked problem worldwide [111]. Adminis-
tration or consumption of supra-normal levels of phytoestrogens is one of the factors that influence male infertility. The consumption
of soy foods at a moderate level is healthy, but high amounts can act as endocrine disrupters [112]. It is clear that soy compounds cross the placental barrier and show its adverse effects on the developing embryo [113] and infants [114]. A series of reports are available on various types of phytoestrogens induced infertility in different animal models. The dietary isoflavones cause infertility in male rats [115]. Genistein exposure through drinking water (25 μl/kg body weight/day) caused infertility [111] with a decreased weight of testis [116], seminal vesicle and prostate gland in adult mice [117]. Moreover, the subcutaneous administration of genistein reduces the testosterone levels in adult mice [118]. Perinatal exposure of genistein (5-300 mg/kg/day), decreases testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in adult mice [116]. In adult rats, exposure of dietary phytoestrogens disrupts the testicular steroidogenesis and decreases the quality sperm in caudal epididymis, thereby reduction in fecundity [119]. Phytoestrogens more promptly bind to testicular key enzymes in steroidogenesis, i.e., 3β- and 17β- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases. Sowjanya et al. [120] proved the reduced activity levels of 3β- and 17β- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases in adult male offspring exposed prenatally to biochanin-A. In another study, both lignans and isoflavonoids reduced the activity level of 5α-reductase, thereby inhibition of the steroidogenic pathway [121]. Akingbemi et al. [122] in adult rats reported the reduced androgen secretion in testicular Leydig cells by prenatal exposure of phytoestrogens.

Spermatogenesis is the process where the sperms are produced from testicular spermatozoa and their maturation. Dietary phytoe-
strogens at high concentrations promote germ cell apoptosis and inhibit spermatogenesis with increased lipid peroxidation in the cau-
dal epididymis [128]. Excess amounts of biochanin-A cause infertility by lowering the quality and motility of sperm [129]. Genistein
decreases the motility of sperm and alters the process of spermatogenesis [130]. Sperm capacitation is the activation/maturation of
sperm, which is an important reaction required to fertilize the oooyte. Genistein exposure alters the capacitation reaction in cryopre-
served bull sperm. Genistein affects the signal transduction path way in sperms, which plays a key role in the acrosomal reaction and sperm capacitation [131]. Hence, the spermatozoa do not mature, and the fertilization reaction does not occur, which results in male infertility. The events such as steroidogenesis, spermatogenesis, acrosomal reaction and circulatory hormone levels play a crucial role in the male reproductive system, and these are altered by the high amount of phytoestrogen exposure and caused infertility in males."

There's a few outlier cases in genetics where soy-consoomers get moobs but it's definitely not the norm. It think it comes from japan, which culturally uses a lot of soy in their daily dishes and it's uncommon even there, but observed enough to be a recognized thing.

The President of Nintendo said:
If I'm not mistaken the cultural appropriation of the term "ya'll" happened in response to the widespread use of the term "you guys," which was deemed EVIL MALICIOUS SEXISM by radfems. This was, of course, before deranged trannies invaded the radfem kingdom and displaced the native population of biological women. The term "ya'll" was culturally appropriated by the trannys during this takeover when the weaker radfems integrated into the tranny horde and the stronger radfems went on to become terfs.

I remember being sick of 2012-2014 Weird Twitter using it, mostly agree with this herstory.
