The corruption of last year’s Hugo awards was terrible, but it’s import to note that the Chinese government did not have influence over the award as much as one dude from Chicago imagined what the Chinese government might want based on feelings pulled out of his own ass, and just plain pretended like the Hugo awards…

Checking if the flight you want to take is a Boeing vs Airbus plane is ludicrous. If you’ve watched Air Disasters, the Airbus planes have had a shit-load of problems also. But Airbus’ issues are usually for how their planes are too automated and the pilot doesn’t grasp all the nuances of the autopilot doing something…

These were both Airbus planes, their mating ritual is far less violent than the Boeing molting display used to attract a mate.

If you’ve been paying attention to the airline industry lately, you’re probably aware there’s been a string of incidents that Boeing probably wishes hadn’t made the news. Considering how much negative attention Boeing has attracted recently, including news that its CEO plans to resign, it would be understandable if…

The Beatles used AI to recreate the late John Lennon’s voice to perform one final song with Paul McCartney.

If I understand correctly, a person contributing to a documentary can no longer speak the words they have written. They were going to use an actress to speak on behalf of the this person, but have now decided with the family’s input, to use technology to simulate the person’s speaking voice instead. Presumably they…

Kinja is going down and a lot of regular commenters and writers have moved on, outside of them have disabling comments after firing the EIC. Kotaku had a good run. The Root’s change is VERY noticeable and you can see it how its srpeading: the blogs are resorting to an era of click bait articles for pennies on the…

I have no idea what is even going on here. What function was Sara Poyzer supposed play in this documentary? Why are they replacing her with AI? How? Whose voice can no longer be heard? How does any of this connect together? What are we even talking about? I know copy-pasting is super hard, y’all, but maybe explain…

Yep, I’ve been an AV Club commenter as long as they’ve had comments. So. almost 20 years.  Spanfeller is a fucking herb.

Fucking hell. I only just got ungreyed on Kotaku after a million years. And the comment sections were initially the main attraction for the Gawker sites.

IMO, no one is THAT invested in the new characters vs the old. When people think of scream, if they are invested at all, they associate the whole thing with Sydney, Gail, and Dewey. Having two of those in this will be fine with most fans (in fact, if there was a convoluted way to bring Dewey back, they would joke…

I guess timeline of “learns something” is the real question. Like, will he learn something in a month or so? Probably not. Will he learn something after spending at least 21 years in jail? I’d guess “probably”. If I’m wrong let’s hope he’s not a in position again where it matters.

I think we’ll be long gone before AI ever goes away. 

Plus these are Federal charges where he has to serve a min of 85% of the sentence. His best case is that he’ll ONLY be in there 21 years.

It is essentially like watching full scale Battlebots duke it out.

What if the guy in the front loader decides to start bulldozing houses down? Got to stop him somehow.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a front loader is a good guy with a front loader. 

What a childhood fantasy. Chasing a bad guy with a loader and flipping his loader over. Everyone I met would know that story if I did it.

In that case, we’re not even seeing the sun in real time.
