Was it the same author who wrote the article you are referring to, or are you saying that the writer’s for a site should all be in agreement about everything relating to a topic they write about?

“The fact that a ‘shitty Arab country’ visual shorthand already exists says enough,” Nadia Shammas told me during a video call. “A shorthand, that, by the way, did not exist—it had to be punched into culture over and over and over again for it to stick in the subconscious to such an extent that you don’t even question…

Found the genocide apologist

Its not that videogames are the sole problem. Its that, as you pointed out, they are one outlet and re-propagator of a very large cultural issue (which I think the article does go into). So we have identified an issue. Where can we start addressing it? Everywhere we find it, and in this case, in this community, with…

There is an actual definition of genocide and what Israel is currently doing absolutely meets that definition. It does not require the complete elimination of an ethnic group. The hallmark of genocide is the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a ethnic, religious or other group. Israeli leaders at all levels have…

People didn’t forget the Jedi, but to most people, the Jedi were abstract and hypothetical anyway, as most people would never have actually met one.

Bro, I am just going to be honest, as I have read your reviews from the start.....you REALLY suck at your chosen profession. Enjoy your snarky little in jokes and decidedly self indulgent ability to shit on everything. You remind me of a “cool kid” in high school and a weirdly toxic SW fan in equal measure. Why even…

“We have investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong!”

What’s your fucking point?

Agreed. I’m a big proponent of more buttons on devices. I think the tyranny of the touchscreen (which is especially noticeable on new cars in recent years) is an a misinterpretation of consumer trends that needs to be fixed ASAP. Not only do some physical features make devices and interfaces more intuitive to use, but…

The thing is, that’s not how “AI” works. It’s just machine learning, so it can only create based on the input it’s given. AI’s aren’t thinking critically and reinterpreting what they’ve consumed, they’re essentially just parroting back the information they’ve consumed. It’s essentially plagiarism. When you write a…

This is correct, not sure where the confusion is setting in. The article even mentions the bot spitting out sections “verbatim,” which is the legal issue here. 

While both OpenAI and Meta make mention that they do not train on copyrighted material... In an exhibit from the author’s lawsuit, the plaintiffs asked ChatGPT to recite excerpts from Silverman’s book The Bedwetter, to which it relayed passages from the memoir verbatim.

Jen, you aren’t as objective as you seem to wish Ethan would be. Calling him out as a fanboy makes you seem more like a fanboy yourself.

What Sony does isn’t relevant to this trial. 

Crazy how Zemeckis was one of the great American directors of the ‘80s and then he became obsessed with his CGI wax museums.

Yes! and I’d even include the old TV series Tales of the Gold Monkey!

Where the hell is Romancing the Stone (and its sequel)? As far as Indy imitators go, it’s not only the first out of the gate, but it was also very influential in its own right. Half the adventure movies on this list steals its its romance dynamic.

No Alan Quartermain or Romancing the Stone?

Its a family that's only special because of bloodlines and who used to be the figurehead of an empire that conquered and enslaved large portions of the world and whom still don't feel like saying sorry about it.  Also most of the members are over 70 and some were over 90.  Its the least shocking thing that they are…
