Function goes to Doctor and says "every day they ask me at work to copy data between two exclusive regions."

when agent smith calls neo mister anderson in the matrix he is invoking a deadname to signify his power as the state but when smith calls neo mister anderson in the sequels its literally just a pet name for his soulmate that no one else uses. the wachowskis are so huge brained

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social on the subject of One Good Paragraph that'll stick in a head forever: to me it's the last 30 seconds of the Act 1 cinematic from Diablo 2.

Probably others, but that one in particular.

Last night I rewatched that Star Wars movie that managed to cast both Portman and Skarsgård, but I'd kinda forgotten that there's no jedi in it at all.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Watching FFX, Tidus has a dream of talking to his mom, then wakes up and goes to meet Yuna. A friend pointed out that Yuna has the same haircut as Tidus's mom.

Friend: everyone just marries their mother, we get it Hironobu... The *Final* Final Fantasy... dating your mother.

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social Regarding the latest Q/A episode: I think that the Triforce is a Materia. It's condensed wisdom from some ancients, and when you touch it then you can make a spell happen.
