Yes, ML stuff in very focused domains like specific problems in biotech can do pretty cool stuff; this is why I said “specifically generative AI” in my comment. I’m a software engineer with a degree in computer science, so since you appear to believe degrees matter, I can point out that Doctorow’s complaints about AI…

Dethroning it would involve Google not spending tens of billions of dollars every year bribing other companies not to use other search engines, or build their own:

Detachable Penis: A Knives Out Mystery

Well, I can’t imagine Harlan Ellison of all people having a spicy take about that!

I’m still skeptical about the implications for lots of work that’s currently considered highly skilled, and can be done cheaper quicker and better by AI.

and the customers are really paying for the authenticity of a human-cooked meal.

We don’t talk about Brunoeverly Hills Cop 3

Given how many billions Netflix has wasted dumping unwatchable garbage, it’s hard to argue that giving GLOW its final season would somehow not have been worth the money.

Making a good movie is already hard enough. Making a followup to a beloved movie is even harder. Making it like forty years later is just asking for trouble.

He stole my typewriter.

Practically everything in their response was either a straight-up lie or at least highly misleading. Kind of a masterpiece of bullshit, really.

I mean, we should all be suspicious of all rich people all the time, famous or not.

Given Poor Things, I definitely want to see Kinds of Kindness, and I want to know as little about it as possible before seeing it.

Padalecki’s name came up because he was…

I’ve only been to DW once (1987, I was nine) but I’ve been to DL countless times, since I live in Los Angeles. I decided I was too cool for DL when I was in high school, but then relented in my college years; I had a Disney superfan friend who went all the time, so she convinced me to get an AP, and we would ditch…

Yeah, rug-pulling features you claimed would be included and putting them behind a paywall, that’s fucking awful. At this point I can’t see myself ever going to a Disney property again.

Are you even allowed on the AV Club if you don’t get every single Simpsons reference?!

The thing is, the “Spiritization” as you put it is not a new concept or phenomenon. Spending more money once you got to the park was already in place before Michael Eisner showed up, and then he made it worse during his tenure; Iger didn’t dial it back, exactly, but at least he didn’t cut corners quite as aggressively…

But it comes with a free Frogurt!
