In his particular situation, I don’t know how you don’t go with John Hammcock. It’s a perfect fit (lol), but also there’s just bundles of gags (lol)

I reread the original Foundation trilogy in the lead-up to the show’s release a couple of years back, and the whole time I was thinking, “Yeah, they’re gonna have to take a lot of liberties with this.” And that’s fine. The Foundation stories from the ‘40s are a hugely important and influential work in the SF genre,…

Don’t like Reddit? Don’t use it! End this stupid blackout.

I avoided this series for quite awhile because of the massive amount of “it’s NOTHING like the books!” angst that came up every time I looked for reviews. I finally very grudgingly decided to give it a try a few months ago. I almost immediately started kicking myself for letting source material snobbery make me nearly…

What do you mean by “their” data? It isn’t their data. It’s the users data. Reddit doesn’t actually create any content and is entirely dependent on the goodwill of its users to function. 

Reddit is trying to charge an amount that is over 70 times the industry standard cost of API calls. It’s clearly an astronomically unreasonable amount that is the problem.

Well, they will continue to let 3rd parties access the API and do exactly what they had been doing - just for a much higher price. They are shooting themselves in the foot, just as Twitter has done, not realizing or caring how many of their users prefer using a third-party app.

Good. Fuck em

Absolutely true.

“HEIL HIT...”

Thank you, it isn’t some kind of stolen conspiracy. Back then they didn’t have the tech to make it happen and the song needed work. The cassette was “FOR PAUL”. John had music he wanted Paul to hear. I think it is unexpected and cool we may get a new song.

It sounds like he was against shitty vocals from a cassette. Had the vocals been isolated and brought up to studio quality, who knows? All Paul said was it needed work and at the time they decided not to do it. I would like to hear a new song from the Beatles in 2023, it is unexpected and exciting. 

Sure, because clearly you have given more to the world than Paul?

I wish I could give it points for originality, but somehow ATSV is a sequel to a rebooted superhero and still manages to feel more original than Elemental.

That’s not what he’s saying at all. He’s saying at the time they weren’t able to get the vocal quality they desired from the demo recording so George didn’t want to go forward. But with AI, they can isolate Lennon’s vocals and reinterpret it to sound like he was recorded in a studio.  If George could have gotten the…

Sir Paul later claimed George Harrison refused to work on the song, saying the sound quality of Lennon’s vocal was “rubbish”.

Yeah, all of the headlines on this give off some vague implication that AI may have been used to impersonate or simulate Lennon’s voice.

That Luthen’s monologue always gives me goosebumps. Skarsgard’s delivery was just sooo good.
