This week on Questionable Content, Dr. Dakotah Tyler (@dr.starkid) and Justin Shaifer (@mr.fascinate) break down Disney’s massive new partnership with OpenAI’s Sora and what it means for creators, the WGA, IP ownership, and the new wave of AI-driven media.
They discuss celebrity likeness exploitation, the decreasing leverage of creators in an AI-dominated landscape, and how authenticity might become the new currency of art.
Dakotah then explains the newest James Webb breakthrough: the first strong evidence of an atmosphere around a small rocky exoplanet, TOI-561 b. They explore the transit method, atmospheric signatures, rock vapor, volatile compositions, lava worlds, degeneracy in models, and the future of detecting Earth-like atmospheres.
The episode closes with a reaction to Juelz Santana’s viral claim that kids “don’t need to know how to read,” and why literacy still underpins human progress despite audio learning.
