Netflix didn’t have a choice but to get into production and producers were going to see their money anyways and get into streaming. There was only one way forward that was sensible for both groups.

Nah the vast majority of people are like normal good and some small percentage are exceptionally bad and exceptionally good. It’s a world of normalcy with a few extra large pieces of shit in it.

Anywhere you go on this earth nothing is illegal if you have enough power and leverage.

It’s a tool like any other. If used correctly it can provide a great value to the world. If used incorrectly then in this case it can also do the opposite. AI isn’t good or bad intrinsically. It boils down to our relationship to it. The same can be said for all the other tools, radio, television, internet and so on.

This is a very old discussion and argument, much older than the current AI push. You’re right to a degree but also that hasn’t stopped the rise of strong minds for software development. There will always be the curious and the lazy. The curious will always want to know how things work from the chain of events of a button click to the pixel shifts and logic gate flips to display code on a screen as well as run it. There will also always be the lazy unencumbered by such a desire for awareness who just want the magic box to do the thing.

How many software devs can write in assembly? Not many. Not much has changed if anything beyond the ability of the unaware to see their will come into creation. People couldn’t make realistic images and now they snap selfies with no barriers to entry. Does that make them a photographer or an artist? Not really.

Have done this, it’s good. Excessive but good.

Yeah when you don’t get an onrep it gets rough. Any sailor who’s done a deployment knows to squirrel away some food for these occasions.

I’m aware. I find sometimes wrapping things up in a single word doesn’t get the full story across.

You’ll see them respond two ways. Either they will argue a child can pull a trigger the same as an adult or that a child today is a soldier tomorrow. Ultimately they see them like any perpetrator of any genocide sees their victim, as a disease. Mental separation is really the only way people can cause harm to one another. We don’t kill father’s with children in war, we kill the enemy. The language around every genocide essentially revolves around the other group being a disease. They aren’t men, women, and children, they are rats or cockroaches or something to that effect.

It was mid, not a cluster fuck like the last season of game of thrones.

Not a single gps but multiple, the same trick could be done with this theoretically

The hot new diet trend, poverty.

It’s sugar free.

So if I sell water with the tag sugar free will it get taxed?

In 2000 the whole data hording apparatus hadn’t been fully implemented yet, and AI surveillance was something more so seen as science fiction, nothing to worry about until possibly 2100. Sure there was some data collection but it wasn’t like billions of people were walking around with surveillance tech in their pocket 24/7. Things have changed and drastically. Methods to monitor, model, predict, and control human behavior are now a thing and quite robust.

Sometimes there’s a final spice level called “Indian hot”

Slight trypophobia vibes

So literally Hodor irl?

Alopecia of the armpits?

Kinda reminds me of WWII when we had Japanese American soldiers and likely their families in camps with all of their assets seized.
