The ending of Transmet seems so naive today, the idea that could depose the bad president just by proving his crimes and people would care

Whatever you think of the current DC superhero movie slop, Batman movies sure have come a long way since the caped crusader's first silver screen appearance in 1943

Who on Earth would his conviction affect the vote of in TYOOL 2024? Those 33% of Dems are filthy liars, in no universe would they vote for him if he wasn't convicted. If people answered honestly it would be 100% "no difference" for everyone on both sides of the aisle. Minds were made up years ago.

My theory is Americans used to be normal, but sitcoms had people keep their shoes on because it would be boring and disrupt the flow of a scene if every time someone came in they had to take their shoes off, and that's why Americans think it's ok to keep your shoes on indoors now.

am I crazy or is that not actually a thing anyone actually wants? they keep trying to sell that but I have serious doubts about it being a thing anyone wants to buy. People don't want to see their schlubby self as Iron Man they want to see Robery Downey Jr.

If I believed in Artificial Intelligence as a thing that was possible to exist and possible and good to build I would be endlessly furious right now at the ongoing conflation of dead-end chatbots and image generators with it.

Trump broke everything by being shameless and pigheaded enough to discover that when you do or say something that makes everyone assume your political career is over, you can just say “no” and not leave and they can’t actually make you.

I will never stop being annoyed at how dumb Fallout 4's setting is, where everything is supposed to have been abandoned for 200 years but looks like it has actually been abandoned for somewhere between six months and 10 years.

Generative AI seems to be marketed largely on the promise of what it WILL be able to do, any day now, while what it actually can do today remains pretty crap. Reminds me a lot of crypto/NFTs in that respect.

Thinking LLMs and other generative AIs are a path to AGI shows a remarkable misunderstanding of both AGI and how those models work. To the point where I can't tell if Altman is just a consummate grifter selling the lie and knows he's lying, or a true believer who is just deeply uncurious/uninformed.

No. Were you born yesterday? He's been lying about self driving AI being months away for 10 years. Continuing to fall for it is embarassing.

I was never allowed to stay up late enough to watch SNL and somehow Celebrity Jeopardy impressions of Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds filtered down to me in the shcoolyard. I didn't even know who Burt Reynolds was!
