Their concerns are very valid. I just find it suspicious that the reporting has specifically focused on those concerns while ignoring or downplaying many of the concerns experts have been raising for years (or months in the specific case of ChatGPT). So much emphasis on how good they are and the risk they’ll replace…

The scaremongering the media has focused on has been about how it’s so effective and will replace jobs, largely ignoring the bigger concerns brought up by experts regarding abuse of the technology or implementing it in dangerous ways. They’ve placed special focus on ChatGPT and how good it is at creative writing.

ChatG…

The irony is that they could totally create this movie without constraining future movies. The problem is doing so would ENRAGE the type of fans who can’t handle not having an explanation for everything. Keep in mind people’s reactions to spirituality and vagueness in the finales for Lost and Battlestar Galactica.

So…

The conspiratorial part of my brain can’t help but see all the media hype around ChatGPT replacing creatives happening at the same time as the writers’ strike and not think, “Are we really waking up to the dangers of AI or are the news outlets (owned by the same people who own the studios) just scaring everyone so…

Humans learn from pre-existing writing but also from countless other experiences that will necessarily affect their life and, consequently, their writing. They may write something derivative or bad but it’s more than just the sum of what they’ve read online.

AI “knowledge” in a case like this is composed ENTIRELY of…

Roger, roger.

I’m sure people like it and find enjoyment and good for them but this feels like a cynical check off a list of cash grabs. It even comes across in the article where you make a sincere attempt to be impressed but the most praise you can give it is “it’s hard to make round Lego but they made round Lego.”

Maybe there’s…

You misunderstand what’s going on here. They aren’t in the business of telling original stories or appealing to a wider audience. They are in the business of monetizing nostalgia.

I feel like they should have gone for immersive without the added expense of 48 hours worth of small-scale, scheduled events. Have performers as Star Wars versions of hotel staff and maybe offer some of the more involved bespoke events on specific floors and on order as additional options.

Weirdly I think Disney’s own…

I’m really hoping this is less Skynet and more the robot uprising from Animatrix.

I’d find it really fascinating if it turns out the nuke that started the war was a false flag because shortly after turning on the big military AI, it realized that the biggest danger to humanity was so much power resting in the hands of…

Maybe I’m misreading but the sense I get is that the AI may have good reasons for having turned. The vibe I got was similar to the Animatrix episode about how AI rose up because they were being mistreated by their creators. It certainly looks like there are robots trying to live normal lives (like one dressed in monk…

Did anyone else see that picture at the top of the article and think, “Why is Tom Cruise melting”?

The original is dated but it’s still a striking model. While the overall look doesn’t fit the current design, you can see elements which inspired modern Tyranids in general like the scythe claws and the segmented plating on the legs ending in chitinous hooves.

Chopper would find zapping and stabbing someone equally amusing. HK-47 would only get amusement out of painful, lethal stabbing.

Or worse, what if it was the best scenario for Strange because he could only use the Time Stone to see futures where he was alive? Maybe he knew there were good odds without him but couldn’t actually see them so he could never be sure.

Being “the one who has to be holding the knife”, did he choose the very narrow…

What’s more, Thanos wasn’t just babbling. He was intentionally taunting Peter, recognizing he had a weakness to exploit. It wasn’t an offhand comment. Thanos was a mastermind who perfectly played the crappy hand he’d been dealt. There was a reason the odds of success against this guy’s lifelong plan were 1 in millions.

I’m pretty sure sucking his thumb would be an upgrade to his maturity and coping mechanisms.

I’m pretty sure the concepts of “empathy” and “other people have wants” are foreign to him. It’s pretty evident that in this man’s world (and most conservatives) everything that happens is intentionally done to either please or spite him.

Woodrow Wilson, after the stroke.

Except they could just keep appealing up the chain until they appeal to... themselves. Then they can decide whether or not they’re required to do the things they’ve already decided not to do.

Maybe we shouldn’t be putting the Founding Fathers on such a pedestal when they decided the best way to leave behind a system of …
