Most them have protections in place preventing use of their likeness. Directors and other high level professionals will probably have enough money to sue anything that comes out of Runway. It’s the artists, vfx, wardrobe, etc (i.e. low level people) that are going to get fucked. None of the savings will be passed to consumers and we will get derivative or rehashed works as a result. Only hope is that the money propping these AI replacements dries up because the studios can’t attract movie goers with the even more unoriginal shit they will try to push.

The man will work 12 hour days at some menial job and the wife will spend all day trapped with kids. Probably get divorced at some point because they find out the stress of everything has sucked the romance out of their marriage. The oldest won’t talk to one of the parents and the youngest will think it’s their fault.

This worked back in the old times because at least 2 or so of those kids would die from disease or war. There was cheapish land to go around to be on a farm or have some business. You probably had at least a three bedroom house and it allowed for some privacy. Also, families might help out each other so there could be some support.

It’s a load of shit to think this will happen the way you want. If this did happen, it would probably be some commune that is labelled as a capitalistic paradise and where every one should be. In reality, it would be forced communism with extra steps and new branding. Think company towns mixed with Handmaid’s Tale-type woman subjugation. Oh, the freedom is so bright that it burns.

• Dude isn’t even efficient at his own jobs. Supposedly works 100 hour weeks. Can’t delegate.
• Dude accepts government handouts for his companies. Can’t finance his own ideas or ventures.
• Dude purchased a company as a joke and lost money/revenue streams/users/entire countries. Can’t even reduce costs while maintaining the things that make him money.
• Dude used his most profitable venture as leverage for the joke purchase. Can’t even make a joke purchase without endangering his best known and most profitable company.

At what point has this guy been efficient at anything but conning the government out of money and grifting genuinely smart people into working at his companies.

I mean we could have had most of that or a close version of it. Still not sure flying cars are a good idea without a large amount of regulation.

But, we decided computers talking to each other was way more important. And, here we are. Computers talking to each other faster and better than ever. Celebrate the achievement of communication that has been turned into stream of revenue and almost unending growth. See how well we now communicate with each other. Much better than we ever did before. What a grand human achievement we have made.

They don’t own Everquest or Planetside. That was Sony Online Entertainment (SOE for short and separate from Sony Playstation) and then it got sold to become Daybreak Game Company. And, Daybreak hasn’t been doing that great last I looked.

I just don’t think Bethesda has it in them anymore. Except for Id and formerly Tango Gameworks, Bethesda proper and a lot of the other studios it had, have just been missing the mark. Like a lot of big studios, they get big, start to regurgitate what they’ve already done, and then fail to capture people’s attention after a while.

Why do you think Valve’s employees haven’t pushed for many new games? Anticipation got too high and they didn’t want to compete with the legacy of Half-life or Portal. Half-life Alyx came out and it was decent, but it didn’t move the story forward that much. It was mostly about doing a good VR game. Now, they have Deadlock coming out and it has nothing to do with any of it’s previous games.

At a certain point, it’s like reading a book from an author that’s run out of ideas or hearing a song from an artist that doesn’t have anything relevant to say anymore. It’s time to move on and make room for someone wants to do something new. Only problem, these big ass companies are now mostly about making money and not about making games. They will ride whatever wave they can until they crash and burn.

It looks silly and I don’t have to hear or see crisp rat in it. People getting worked up over it not being serious or looking odd. It’s Minecraft, it was never going to be serious.

Nah, ain’t no one woke up to anything. Every decade proves that human beings are capable of bad shit. Even those you would consider good, are going to have dark thoughts about someone or something. I guarantee you that there’s some hidden darkness in Mr. Rogers, Levar Burton, and Bob Ross that never got revealed. Probably stuff they never even told another person. There exist people who know they are capable of really bad shit and have enough forethought to keep it inside them.

I take it as a wild ride to know that while I may not be the smartest or any kind of -est, that I have enough awareness to know that blind anger will never lead any place good. It may get results and even last centuries, but it’s a hollow victory. Along a long enough time line, the victims are likely to become the oppressors. The watchers become the watched. And, the powerful become weak.

Personally, no mandatory daily cleanings. But, just like if you smoke, if you basically trash the room, then you should be required to pay higher fees when it takes longer than the minimum to clean up a room. Lots of dog hair, human fluids everywhere, major spills, garbage everywhere, etc. That way you have to pay the overtime for all the time it takes to clean up a trashed room. Take a video of your room before you check out, and if they say it took longer, then dispute it with the video.

The biggest thing companies want to do with AI is infinite cheap content. They want generate a movie or other entertainment for a 10th or even 20th of the cost while burning a state’s worth of energy. They’re going to try and generate a successful movie from models that are trained on previously successful movies. And, they’ll get it.

At least at first. Eventually, even we’ll burn out from endless selection of predictable movies and other entertainment. And, I’m not talking just once a year. More like once a month. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, they’ll learn that the attention economy is not infinite. There is a limit of people, time, and money. They’re putting most of their eggs in the this basket and I hope it smashes to pieces.

AI isn’t here to improve anything. It’s here to open a path to infinite growth. Infinite entertainment, infinite weaponizing, infinite whatever. More predictable, infinite growth. Problem with that is that we’re slowing as a race and sooner or later it will start shrinking. The more they try to take, the quicker this is going to happen.

And folks, here in the comments, we have semi-Biblical experts discussing meaning and interpretation like it was LOTR or 40K lore. If someone needs that much explanation for their faith or even a cartoon, then at no point will we ever arrive a solid definition or consensus of the Christian God.

I like to keep things simple. Jesus was a black man and had some really cool ideas. His dad was not really present and second hand-stories about him are often mythical and confusing. Hell, the stories of Jesus are second-hand and often hard to nail down. People can’t agree on the word or rules of this religion so they fight other people outside and inside their religion to distract from the fact we are all going to die and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Who? Oh, didn’t even notice.

That’s because you only see the levels of classes that are interesting to play. Most regular people are going to specialize in something that keeps them alive and has more use for the general public. Did you want to play a level 7 Dentist or a level 5 Pizza Chef? And feats like Least Painful Tooth Extraction for the Dentist or Perfect Toppings Distribution for the Pizza Chef?

Oh, shut up, Nimarata “Nikki” Randhawa Haley. You don’t give two shits about America being isolationist or not. You only want Taiwan to stay independent because of its tech. If it was just any other island nation in the Pacific, you’d let China take it and not bat an eye.

You back a party that would turn on you and JD Vance’s wife, given a chance. They don’t care about you. They like white, seemingly Christian men. They would sooner suck Trump’s dick then shake the hand of Indian woman like yourself.

Facebook dating was decent when I tried it back in 2020/21. Tend to have more real people so more responses. You still have the difficulty of trying to connect with people or finding someone you like.

Your pastor or preacher told you to do it, not your religion. Pretty sure there’s no explicit mention how to use or not use pronouns or using someone’s preferred name in the bible. Language is just arbitrary, made up bullshit anyways. Let’s reverse it, his name is no longer Jordan Cernek using pronouns he/his/him. Now, it Jerkin Cumneck with the special pronoun of shitstain.

Jerkin Cumneck is a dumbass. Shitstain shouldn’t bring shitstain’s political views to work. Jerkin should teach at a private christian academy because shitstain can be an obnoxious asshole over there without having shitstain’s fragile little mind broken every time shitstain has to use words that shitstain doesn’t like.

This putz wrote an acclaimed book that got turned into an acclaimed movie? I have to ask did the script writer or Ron Howard change a lot of dialogue and stuff to make it a normal movie? Maybe, he had a really good editor that was like, “Dude, this is some misogynist shit, take it out”

Now just here me out: What if the girls’ bathroom is full up on people, or broken down for some reason. Wouldn’t it be nice if a girl had to go into the boys’ bathroom in an emergency, that they would have access to those things.

Boys don’t have special requirements to use the bathroom. I can go anywhere just about. I can take leak on the side of the road with only a car door for privacy in ten seconds. Boom, I’m done.
