Abbott's joke about putting a tariff on people makes sense if you read it in the context of hoping to be able to own people again.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

A β˜… review of Vampyres (2015) Jose Ramon Larraz's 1974 film Vampyres is one of his most admired films, including by me. So I'm sure that this remake was borne out of nothing but affection. Particularly given that many involved wer...

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024) I missed the original The Strangers back when it first came out, so I'm curious; was it really such a massive breakthrough hit to merit not one, but a trilogy of remakes? Because that's what we've got...

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
