That’s the thing that bugs me the most. People see a handful of outputs from an LLM and are like “oh my god, it writes like a human!” but if you keep looking at their output, you very quickly start to see patterns, and the contours of the space the LLM can generate stuff in becomes evident. LLMs still can’t create…

I have a sinking feeling that what constitutes kiddy porn is also going to come up.  

of course they will. and they’ll market it as ‘THE MOVIE WRITTEN BY AI’ and just like how digital actors didn’t replace anyone after al pacino’s ‘s1mone’, and ‘choose your own adventure’ movies like bandersnatch didn’t move the needle, ai movies won’t replace actual movies.

This sounds like a great idea. An avatar that looks just like me using my real voice? From what I’ve experienced and read about how people LOVE to hear their voices played back to them, and how most Americans LOVE their bodies, this is bound to be a huge, huge success.

Wow that doesn’t sound like a good thing at all and I don’t know why he’s so chill about it

Okay, but who cares what Joe Russo thinks? Making predictions about AI making movies is like having sex in a bathtub: it really doesn't matter how much you know about bathtubs.

A lot of people just want a turn wearing the boot.

But this was one of Elmo’s key goals - he wants to solely boost the right-wing shitboxes who willingly give him money.

All the talk about ‘Twitter is a town square’ is just framing when really, he wants to make a town square where the people who agree with him (or pay him) get to soap box whilst everyone else is either…

For at least some people, “elite” as a pejorative means “some group or status my money doesn’t grant me automatic access to.” Because the most offensive thing they can imagine is something that can’t just be bought, up to and including expertise, “good guy” status, and other people’s opinion.

The 21st century has convinced me more and more that nerds deserved to be bullied.

> That should have been Pratt, all the way.

MS and many other autoimmune diseases are such heart breaking things to deal with. Symptoms are varied and getting properly diagnosed can take years. People. Especially women, get labeled as fakers or pill seekers instead of taking their pain and suffering seriously. Many often to fall into drug and alcohol abuse…

I just remember my mom had a big crush on Michael Nouri, so that was gross for me.

I saw this when it came out. I would have bet a lot of money that Michael Nouri would have been more of a thing.

And then when I finally started being able to move out of my parents’ house after making that bet, I would have bet even more on Cary Elwes.

I can’t remember if the movie ever references the character’s exact age. I would have thought she was meant to be in her early 20's.

Agreed on leaving Judy Blume alone and criticism of the writer clearly having ulterior motives. But before we get “woke mob run amok”-type comments, I want to note, as homerbert the 1st did in another thread, that the reporter has faced criticism for transphobic views so is probably doing it from the angle of, “Look!!…

While I am entirely comfortable with the term ‘black’ (as a Black American) I am hardly offended by ‘African American’. The reason its so specific to the continent and not a country is that most ‘African Americans’ have little to no idea WHAT country our forefathers were from! Thanks to the international slave trade,…

More saliently, Black Americans are not Africans, and haven’t been for eons

“The only difference from the Nintendo games is that viewers don’t have to replay a section 45 times because they keep getting nicked by a rogue Koopa shell.” - Nintendo kids red alert we have a reviewer pretending to be a Nintendo kid over here.

I can’t wait for the mid-credits scene where Samus Aran asks, “Have you heard of the Smash Brothers Initiative?”
