One problem might be that in his new action film he's not trying to be the every man. He's trying to be Tom Cruise in Minority Report.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a winter jacket.
I'm looking for something that is at least a little snow/rain proof.
It needs to be "business casual" and long enough that it doesn't look odd wearing over a blazer.

Star Wars TTRPG night.
Quick reminder, we're playing Scrum and Villainy. I'm playing KG-XX, a K-X series droid with one big Super Battle Droid arm.
We are on a mission to transport a force sensitive child to the Hidden Path, who can keep her safe. We are being chased by an Inquisitor.

James's Roko's Basilisk:
I know about Roko's Basilisk and I think about it once a week and nothing has come back in time to stop me so the only conclusion is that I'm more powerful than a hypothetical all powerful AI and it's scared of me.

I saw a clip of someone saying the scenario they were most scared of was that AI would get too good at it's job making paperclips and turn everything in the world into paperclips.
And like, buddy we are so far from LLMs being "too good" at the things they're programmed to do.

I have an important question. If I were going to watch the 2008 Merlin tv show, but mostly because I'm in love with Katie McGrath. Would that be a good use of my time?

The job that is most likely to be "replaced with AI" is the CEO.
I'd be willing to bet between a CEO and a Tech Support Engineer, the person turning over all their decision making to an LLM today is the CEO.

It's Star Wars night. Here is a fun fact about my character KG-XX. Because this is Scum and Villainy, I have a rival. My rival happens to be Krieger - a blaster pistol.
It keeps getting passed from NPC to NPC and every time to someone who is trying to kill me.

I saw a video podcast where the hosts were asking the question "Is there real demand for AI powered services like chatbots and other services?" seeing that there were no comments I replied, "No, there is no demand. Only supply"
The host replied, "I can think of 20 SMBs that would buy a chat bot"

I have long ranted to no one in particular that my city needs a trolley or light rail. I've confessed that maybe the population is too small to warranty it.
This year for Christmas my parents got me one of those historical books about my city and guess what. It used to have a trolley!

What is the Taco Bell. Who can tell me some lore?
Is it a bell that rings when tacos are ready? Does it ring to alert you that tacos are coming? Is it a warning? A hold over from a long forgotten age when violent taco creatures roamed the land?
