Pretty much, capitalists and oligarchs internalize maintaining their image to the point they live a lie and have no self-awareness anymore.

The most charitable assumption is that they’re understandably less confident because Echo is far and away their least popular character to headline a film or series, and thus it may not justify the resources required to sustain a basic marketing campaign week-to-week. Perhaps more pressingly, it’s dropping during a…

I feel kind of mad with myself because I didn’t even watch Archer until like, S7 or something. I saw pictures of it, heard descriptions of it, and thought “My god that looks and sounds absolutely ghastly” (despite my love of The Man from UNCLE and so on), and the memes people were using from it only contributed to my…

Y’know, my wife and I made it up to the outer space season and then tapped out. It just felt like the show lost a lot of its momentum and we weren’t enjoying ourselves too much. If the later seasons really were a good time we might have to check them out.

They are gambling on competition. Right now MS arguably has the best streaming service out there. Their greatest weakness is lack of content. Give them the content and they will surge forward. Giving free licenses to other services that still have years to go to catch up won’t change that fact.

10 years is chump change. Anything beyond that, they’re not obligated to do so, unless they (the competitors) work out another deal to extend the milage of said cloud gaming or whatever license agreement.

I watch one of the later episodes - where they’re finally back to being a spy agency - and it really lacked the zip and zing of wordplay that the Adam Reed writing had. It was more like a...generic adult cartoon.

Yeah I liked some of the stuff in the Dream seasons, but they didn’t really have enough to support an entire season each. Like if it had been a season of jumping genres every 2-3 episodes while Archer slowly started to realize something weird was going on that may have worked better.

That said, I’m perfectly happy they got to try some weird stuff...

when it said “Star-Lord will return” my Dad was like “Does Star-Lord have super powers...?” genuinely confused as to why were gonna see him in Avengers. The only reason I can think of is that Chris Pratt is somehow the biggest celebrity in the MCU and they want name recognition now that RDJ is gone.

Oh and he’s even…

Yup. I can’t just use any photo. 

Eh, from what I’ve seen, Commonwealth Fusion has the best chance of anyone not involved with JET/ITER.

Yeah weird they talked about the berries but didn’t actually show them.

I’m still pretty sure it would only appeal to fans of the book. It would be a pretty tough watch, and probably require watching twice, if you haven’t read it. I imagine it could be done though, by putting one or (more likely) two chapters in each episode. It would be very weird TV.  Maybe if you could get Christopher…

If you’re a book collector, Folio Society editions are worth it.

So my team has been using ChatGPT since 3.0 was released for reference. It is a good starting point for an experienced programmer who can sort through the code. Sometimes the code is spot on but other times - just no. Stack Overflow is similar in that regard but the thing is other people can call out bad code/practice…

In any case, it looks like Iger put questions about whether Disney would go through with the Hulu acquisition to rest (it’s a lot more debt that Disney will have to take on, in addition to the giant mound of debt they have from the 20th Century Fox acquisition).

I guess when push came to shove, the coders decided that if they couldn’t use it on the site, they’d just leave the site instead.

Dracula’s Daughter, isn’t that Selena Gomez?

Yeah they really didn’t think that through. Stack Overflow could have been a place where ChatGPT answers could be submitted and then debated upon by experts to help improve the answers further.
