I love this poster for The Grey. It makes it look like Liam Neeson and The Wolf are going to team up to solve a crime.

I've never listened to a Taylor Swift song in my life. Not a single one. And now YouTube won't stop filling up my homepage with Taylor Swift videos.

I'll still hold them to the standard of the shitty beliefs they espouse, sincere or otherwise.

Yeah, but it's also a slur meant to disparage people with Down's Syndrome, and as someone who is also over 40, that's 100% what we meant when we used it as kids in the 80s.

Honestly, the headline "Neo-Hitler Demands Peace Prize Or Else" actually feels too realistic right now.

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Every time I hear a streamer use the r-slur, I'm unable to divorce it from them saying "I support fascism because not slurring people was a line too far."

When the word bounces off my ears, I hear it not as thoughtless derogatory speech, but an ideological announcement.

I can't be the only one.

It's also an impossible to accomplish goal. If you just train AI on the shit you own, it's not near enough data to be useable for anything. Lionsgate just spent millions finding this out the hard way.

I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

Will Anti-Woke Comedy Recover From the Riyadh Festival?
Any event that includes comedy’s biggest names is going to attract attention — but the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which kicked off on Sept. 26 and continued through Thursday, is disproving the adage that...

It's worth noting also that while OpenAI's revenue has increased, their costs have increased even more, because ultimately their solution to providing better results is to throw more compute at it.

It's getting more expensive to use and the results still suck.

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

You watched them all. Do you feel culturally richer for it?

I just hit shuffle on my watchlist and let the Gods of random guide me. I haven't worried about watching Witchcraft in order, because they're all one offs.

Five more to go and I've seen all of Witchcraft, may whatever deity have mercy on me.

It was a wonderful wakeup call to Canadians to keep more of our money inside the country rather than sending it to a country that routinely threatens our sovereignty.

It will stop itself.

The gap between how much OpenAI spent last year vs how much they brought in is widening, not shrinking. The tech is getting more expensive to provide, not more efficient.

It's so depressing that all the people who are in the position of being able to be tastemakers are instead saying, "what if we just ceded all taste."
