Well, video games are a technological product to an even more significant extent than movies or TV, so one would expect efficiency gains. Then there’s the near-total abandonment of physical production and distribution.

Nintendo’s probably going to remain a decade behind the trend, which, alas, means that some of the best video games that’ll come out in the next ten years will still be console exclusives. It’s nice to see Sony wavering, though. I think if Sony and Microsoft are both on roughly the same page, then Steam Deck is…

It’s more like the network wouldn’t be willing to pay to bring Kaley back. She was estimated to be worth over $100M last year, and getting $1M a year from TBBT residuals (which seems low, honestly.)

My mom, of all people, checked the show out when the first seasons popped up on her Netflix. She mentioned to me that the lead actor couldn’t act. I told her, “Uh, Mom, actually, he’s a very talented actor who’s being told to act like a complete spaz.” I didn’t have the heart to also tell her that the…

I am once again shocked that the entertainment industry, of all places, is a refuge for scumbags and fuckups. How can this keep happening!?

There’s the learning curve, and then there’s RNG.

>and Biden would still be positively be remembered as the hero president who took out Trump and denied him a second term.

BotW had some, uh, interesting angles on an old favorite, but I actually think TotK did BotW’s Zelda dirty with bad wardrobe choices and a move away from the nerdy bug-hunting vibe. Yes, there was something else  attractive about that one cutscene besides dummy thiccness. It was neat to hear Zelda so excited about…

Well, “thoughts & prayers” caring, obviously. Grubhub ain’t looking to expose themselves to liability by suggesting that they might actively participate in a person’s self-monitoring for allergens.

>AI can generate things. This movie is an example of if it were to be able to generate your boyfriend’s favorite movie. What’s wrong with that?

It felt episodic in a bad way — serious pacing and focus problems. Some of the flashbacks were downright hilarious from a structural standpoint. “Welp, our little dude is about to do one-on-one combat with a full-on god, so it’s time for a flashback to hastily and sweatily justify how he might avoid getting turned…

>which tries the both-sides the shit out of things

I dunno, the last of us, maybe?

If the people distributing the pictures admit they’re fake, there’s not much ground to stand on in terms of the U.S.’s version of libel. Defamation is tricky regardless. You’re supposed to have to show some kind of injury to reputation, though one gets the sense that the requirement isn’t really honored all that…

Well, lines are two-dimensional, so ostensibly they’d need lessons on being one-dimensional just like anything else (besides points.)

I just find it bizarre that people are hyperfocusing on AI to the extent that they seem to have completely forgotten that humans can commit the laziest kinds of plagiarism imaginable just fine on their own, whether it’s actionable under IP laws or not.

The translator was ostensibly privy to tons of conversations that were extremely incriminating for both Fisk and Maya. Furthermore, the fact that she knew how to communicate with Maya in a way that Fisk (still) didn’t fully understand was an unacceptable vulnerability.

>“Here’s the issue.. ‘shippers’ crumble under the idea that a character is allowed to have significant relationships with MULTIPLE characters.

Krapopolis is less than the sum of its parts, so it’s hard for me to diagnose its problem. The voice cast is stacked as fuck. I could listen to Matt Berry and Hannah Waddingham chat with each other about literally anything all day long, and Waddingham’s Deliria in particular is, to steal a phase, the perfect bitch.…

>A voice is like a fingerprint and AI might be able to make a ‘stamp’ of that but a voice is also a song and songs, imo, come through us, not from us. That’s an area beyond human understanding, I realize, but this is a place AI can never reach.
