Never understood this argument. It has nice rethorics but proves nothing. the problem with text prediction != intelligence is that we can’t even define intelligence. I hate AI as much as the next guy here, but that doesn’t mean we should do lazy assertions and quoting dumb arguments.

It’s so sweet when they become aware of the dominance hierarchy 🤗

Corporations: thank you for your money 🙏

Also corporations: people are just irresponsible with money and all welfare programs should be cut and in turn corporate taxes should be lowered.

How are they even making a profit with it? Does the psn account cost money?

This is just a negative look at the world and not a critic of social systems as the meme normally is.

Yeah totally agree. I can give it credit for being adapted for better accommodating flutter, but it has extremely many things where it does not come across as modern

Flutter uses dart. It’s one of the best ui building frameworks I have used. Not that it is perfect…

You mean the studio that just at the beginning of this year died because of budget cuts of a big Corp? Not that I want to defend Elex2

Please explain how trump would have been better and not worse in the Isreal situation?

As far as I understand it the Frontline is pretty saturated with drones. Heard it in a documentary that I cannot find, of course, but a quick search gave this article https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/14/ukraine-drones-russia-war-skies/:

The sheer number of drones means the battlefield is “almost transparent on both sides,” Nepal said, speaking from a makeshift base near the front line filled with parts for FPVs.

So yes seems to me as if it is a almost 24/7 thing. Maybe not over 100% of the Frontline, but at least in the most of it.

(I may have overestimated the meaning of hinterland… I meant like the 10km or so behind the front)

Drones have extreme effect on the Ukrainian battle field as there is no secrecy anymore. Every inch of the front and the hinterland is permanently watched by both sides via drones. But yeah you are right the actual advancement is still made on the ground

This is Elon Musk

No it’s not good from the point of the book! In every single episode (every episode is a short story from the first book) they made at least one critical mistake that completely erases what makes the short stories so genius in the book. It’s madining because the look and feel is very nicely captured and there was no reason to not follow the book more closely in the crutial plot points… ahhh such a wasted opportunity. I don’t care much about the rest. I think only the first Witcher book is really good.

Ah yes. Landlord simulator 2000. Loved it

Every few years I replay Gothic 1 or 2. Are these great games? Yes. Is it also because of nostalgia? Yeah

Also from time to time I reinstall black flag… Mostly for the feeling of sailing

And the first was by far the best

Except that I thought it was an amazing movie :)

Wtf you didn’t like the acting?

I would agree the pacing is a little bit too fast at the end of part 2, but especially the first and the beginning of the second are perfectly paced…

The shots are great. And it looks very good. And that’s not only because of the production value… Also the camera and scenery is top notch. Don’t know when I saw such a good looking movie the last time.

The replacement of the dune theme is a dumb argument. You could say that about any movie. And also it’s not true. You get topics about ecology, economics, choice, power structures, religious fanatism in a very interesting way.

Personally I liked the first one better than the second one, mostly because of the pacing issues at the end… I would have been ok with having another hour of runtime :) also some political and economic stuff was cut, which I would have liked to see… Instead they go all in on the fundamentalism… But ok

I’m not a huge fan of the setting btw… I don’t really like this feudal-sci-fi mix, because it leads to ridiculous situations (comes with a spaceship to the planet and is immediately taken hostage by sword fighters?). Still the movie can compensate with all the other stuff it does and make it somewhat believable. Also I can see over some plot holes if the rest is good. I’m not someone who complaines that the eagles could have flown frodo to mount doom either.

I really don’t know what you have against the acting, though… They have to transport some ridiculous stuff and they do a great job.

Have no particular opinion on the characters… I would have liked to see some more screen time from some of them… But I guess that comes down to the additional hour, I would have loved. Think they were what they needed to be. Nothing more nothing less.

My thought exactly.
