Somehow I don’t trust the AI slop that lists two dead people as supporters

Fair and upsetting

See, I think that points the other way. I assume because of the supernatural angle, vampires aren’t extracting calories, but some sort of orgone-like “energy” that hitches a ride on blood. So inducing strong emotions in victims (positive or negative) enriches that blood

Isn’t the rational thing to do to bid $1, and assume someone will bid much higher, which guarantees you the “best” bonus?

My high school French teacher decided to show Amelie. I’d already seen it so I was just sitting there like “is she really gonna let the orgasms scene roll?” She leapt up to cover the screen when it started but the damage was done

After that she stuck to Finding Nemo with French subtitles

“Bad things will happen if you vote for the man making crazy promises over the competent, experienced woman”

Not corny at all! Swap out Babylon 5 for Battlestar Galactica and I agree completely

“Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say… to hell with our orders.”

Let’s be fair. It’s pretty impressive this guy got a machine to come up with the idea of a “Spider”-“Man”

I was told that LLMs could crap out a shootable screenplay… back in ‘23. Weird how one’s never surfaced

Circa 2007 I slapped together a phpBB forum for my high school friends, accessed through a confusing dyndns url, running on an old computer in my bedroom

Kim, I know the alphabet now!

Ed Harris as Ed Harris in

Ed Harris as Russel Crowe as Ed Harris in A Beautiful Mind

Ed Harris, which makes Apollo 13 a double good movie

An especially weird, deluded, disconnected take from the WSJ, since rotisserie chickens are cheap and turn into several meals

I had my own computer so no one was mad when I’d destroy it

I got very used to fixing it/doing a full reinstall, learned a lot

Also how I got started using Opera (and now Vivaldi), because I screwed up Internet Explorer so bad it was more toolbars than browser

Reminds me of a Turing Test competition years ago, where a team “won” by programming a chatbot with the personality of a child who couldn’t speak English very well

I listened to a podcast recently about LLM “companions.” An engineer for one company said they were shocked when people started doing erotic role play with the bots

And I thought… was that their first day on the internet? Literally anyone here could’ve told you that would happen

The Evil Gene

I would have been so excited for housing if they had added it when I played the game 20 years ago

Google AI slop stating that Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme has an after-credits scene tying into the Marvel Cinematic Universe
