K. Nor do industry traditions invalidate my opinion.

News headlines aren't limited by space on physical paper anymore. If your headline is confusing because of traditions based on outdated limitations it's not a good headline imo.

The complaints i read on another thread was that it never stops holding your hand, like telling you how to complete puzzles before you even get a chanve to try

Fuck Oprah though. She's as bad as Rogan when it comes to giving credibility to misinformation.

For me it's because I'm not convinced LLMs are really a stepping stone to any actual AI. They don't have educational applications imo because there isn't any way they can separate truth from fiction. They don't understand the words that they output; they're just predictive text generators on a huge scale. This isn't something that can change with better tech either; it's baked in to the very concept of an LLM. And worse, when they are wrong there's no way to tell without already knowing the answer to the questions you're asking. They're literally just monkeys with typewriters. This is an extremely good article about the kinds of problems I'm taking about.

Nah, they're resistant to that because their whole engine is fueled with hate. They have persecution and victim complexes. Calling them weird actually seems to affect them because their whole thing is parading around as if they're the party for "average" aka "normal"_(white) Americans.

Language for sounds doesnt work like that though. If I hear a pop song and say "dang that's a great snare" it isn't wrong if technically the sound is actually a synthesized snare. When you hear something you can name it without it having to be physically present. Plus plenty of things ring without being a bell.

I know this is a joke but deflation can be scary too. Basically if it becomes a pattern then consumer spending will crater since people know if they wait their money will be with more in the future. Obviously this effect is less on stuff people have to buy to survive but it's still not desired.

Look, I'm not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it's the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he's better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?

Unpopular opinion, I actually really like the third one

I'm not sure how you think this video is related to the comment I replied to ?

Also Starship Troopers

couldn't pronounce "graphics"

That's not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don't pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can't we just accept both and stop being weird about it.

Holy fuck and with Adin Ross of all people

Boy that voice over is just awful to listen to

Out of curiosity, what did your consignment deals look like? Like were you consigning on behalf of the shop or customers looking to sell their stuff? And you did you split the net?

Trump would be on Kick

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

That's pretty common grammar for news headlines; yes it means 'and' and yes it's annoying/silly. It probably harkens back to print media needing to condense as much as possible to save on space and ink and it just continues because institutional traditions.

The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I'm not saying don't have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren't typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.
