I haven't thought much about the ought in terms of of AI, since I don't think it's possible, and without an is part, there's no need for an ought part. Well, that's arguable. But I'm talking about the ought part. It often seems shabby for us to reproduce, for all the care we take. To bring a new type of…

I saw it recently and you may be disappointed with some of the wimp-outs. The dog wasn't even dead, much less pate.

The dancing! Has he done that before? I haven't seen all the episodes.

Thanks. No worries, then. Michael Cera will never be hot.

I don't understand "going Anthony Michael Hall."

Can you program behavior? Sure. Can you link the billions-year-old system that works ours to machines in a foreseeable future time-frame? I doubt it. I'm not saying that there's anything special about human, or animal, thought, per se. But it emerges from life, already long, long in progress. AI seems to put the…

Damn, I am sick of AI
(Yeah, I named myself after one. A fictional one that maybe wasn't even an AI in the fictional context)

Dallas could build that skyscraper on top of the city hall like in the movie, and lease it to whatever evil corporation is actually running the city.

If the art style is bland, why does it fill me with such dread?

I would guess that there are contracts that require a theatrical release. But bloated egos and massive denial could be playing roles, as well.

No, murderin' usually falls under state law, too, unless it's determined that local law enforcement can't deal with it because they're too corrupt.

I loved the bumblebee, too. That was a nifty drone attack. Also the fact that they had extended CGI and a daytime outdoor location where people go proves that they are in fact spending money. You'd like them to actually build a little radio-controlled helicopter with a large caliber machine gun, Rowan? I think…

I have only an anecdote to offer, from one far to old to have had much investment. I was witness to a minor riot in Hollywood, caused by the police shutdown of a free System of Down show. I knew something was up before, because there were so many unfamiliar young people in the neighborhood, and I saw the setup. It…

Blagojevic (taking your word on the spelling) was a governor accused of influence pandering involving federal offices. Pretty sure most corruption cases fall under state law.

So far, I still like "A New Day Yesterday" better. Ian Anderson is is an odd voice for a blues singer. Yet it works.

I downloaded "A New Day Yesterday", and after listening a few times, also got "Thick as a Brick". I'm starting to realize that I shouldn't avoid all of the rock music I liked as an adolescent because of the painful allergy I developed later toward "classic rock" because of self-designated as such radio stations' soul…

I didn't think that the shocking part was supposed to be that Olivia shot him coldly (how warmly could she have shot an impending mass-murderer with his finger on the trigger?), but that it worked. In the elevator, the tactical guy was telling her that she'd have to make a difficult shot, and she was obviously…

Or in English as pork fat. It's not mystery meat, it's clearly pork fat. Nothing wrong with that.

The word "brow" now deemed too high-something for MTV.

The show is definitely not good, but I'll probably keep watching it until it gets turned off from the other end. Good call, NBC.
