Except they hate kneeling.

I don’t know who’s more annoying:

I mean, Republicans should hate Superman. He’s an undocumented immigrant and a journalist.

So do you just not understand what’s going on right now at all? Do you seriously not get why Garcia and others can’t “do some shit to take care of your citizens”?

Here’s a fun bit of trivia: Doyle’s wife, Jean, claimed to be a medium, and he was friends with Houdini, who was notoriously skeptical. Jean offered to contact Houdini’s dead mother and use automatic writing to convey the message. And she did. She drew a cross at the top of the page and wrote a long message to Houdini.

Plenty of writers are gamers. Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, Last of Us) is an avid gamer, as is his co-host on the podcast Scriptnotes.

I remember watching Malcolm in the Middle as a kid, and one of the kids was furiously button mashing a Gameboy. I don’t think it was a very effective technique, since the Gameboy didn’t have a cartridge.

I always shower with a fresh fish.

If the art is in the act of creation, who is doing the actual creation when it comes to an AI image? Does this only apply to machines? Can I hire someone and tell them “paint me a landscape at night,” can I then turn around and say, “I made this because I provided the prompt”?

Any argument about what art “is” is going to at least touch the philosophical.

At that level of tinkering, I’d argue that you are adding intent to the individual elements, and that YOU are actually making something.

Poems, haikus, and Dril tweets ARE the final art though. They’re not inputs. If Dril could just type in “weird tweet, punctuation at 0.75, scatological at 1.2" and pressed a button, and a Dril tweet came out, no one would give a shit about Dril.

Something something SNAKE!

But there’s no intent in the individual elements. You could build a physical machine that could splatter paint on a canvas, but it wouldn’t mean anything compared to a Pollock. It would be trivial to digitally convert an existing image into a pointillist image, but that’s nothing compared to actually looking at a…

Yup nothing weird going on here.

My prediction is a HUGE opening weekend and then an incredibly steep drop off the next weekend.

Art also requires intent to have any meaning.

You lost me at “Star Wars isn’t dirty and gritty.” That’s the whole thing, a “used universe.”

Battlestar Galactica’s reboot was a very good show until it dragged religion into the plot, towards the end.

I’m about 25 hours in and I’ve also not had any significant problems. There’s pop-in, which I expected, and some jerky NPCs in the background, but nothing that’s affected my gameplay. I was worried that some of what I read about could affect my control over my character, but nothing like that has ever happened.
