Sorry if this is unsolicited, but I decided to put a bit more rigour into it and check the average of 100 netflix documentary trailers from here
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvahqwMqN4M0fmh2gjEqNbUA3uCVMZbDB
And make a chart.

Like so

That dot on the top right is the AI doc.
The dot on the bottom right is UNKNOWN: Killer Robots
The dot on the top is American Symphony
In both of those instances they're comparable on one axis but not the other.
So basically if this chart's correct there's definitely cause for suspicion. Moreso anyway.

Edit: I made a typo in the data, which gave UNKNOWN: Killer Robots and UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine a higher View Per Like ratio than it should have. Here's the new chart: Like So

The new Furthest right are now
American Nightmare
and
Will & Harper

    With my extremely scientific method of "clicking on trailers for random documentaries and seeing the ratios" the like-to-view ratio is typically in a range from 1-10 to 1-100. The biggest outlier I saw was probably Will & Harper at about 1-400. The AI Doc is about 1-800. Also interesting is the comments. Will & Harper has about 6400 comments while the AI Doc only has 640, which would be comparable to something like Murder in Monaco, a documentary trailer with about a tenth of the views (and also has a comparable amount of likes).

    Btw "Don't Die" is a Bryan Johnson adjacent longevity community slogan which the writer is very likely to have seen often around twitter

    Or it could be a reference to what often is said before the start of a match of a video game (though they probably left out "kick ass" for marketing purposes).

    Edit: actually, considering that, maybe there's a reveal at the end that they're in the Basilisk torture sim, so... there might be something there?

    "An investigator from the San Francisco Public Defender's Office lawfully served a subpoena on Mr. Altman because he is a potential witness in a pending criminal case," spokesperson Valerie Ibarra said in a statement to SFGATE.

    In a post on X, the group wrote that one of their public defenders had managed to serve Sam Altman with a subpoena, requiring him to testify at their upcoming trial. They explained that the case involves their previous non-violent demonstrations, including blocking the entrance and the road in front of OpenAI's offices on multiple occasions.

    "All of our non-violent actions against OpenAI were an attempt to slow OpenAI down in their attempted murder of everyone and every living thing on earth."

    So it's not because he's being prosecuted.

    Suno might, but apparently the contract is just with some person who is using Suno to help create this, not Suno itself. So what incentive does Suno have to keep the voice? They didn't sign the 3 million dollar contract. They're not getting any money out of this deal.

    Edit: though there's probably not a deal at all, so there's that.
