All in all, if this movie was better, or believed in itself, it could perhaps be classed a bad movie. For now I share these words of scorn to warn off fellow lovers of the TRON grid.

It is awful and worthily mocked.

Wish I had a dentists appointment instead.

Bad in uninteresting ways.
Compared to the previous iteration of TRON by Disney, which for all its sins was an interesting, take on the classic with action, a world that was at least somewhat alive and had a vision and a fun romp.
Plus a banging soundtrack, honestly Ares’ was fine, but I’m sorry, few can compare to Daft Punk.
What a cheap, sad sellout for all involved, I had so many hopes for the universe after the reboot. I was actively inspired to boo when they did _the second_ blade runners rain reference AS A CRITICAL PLOT POINT.

HAVE A NEW IDEA PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

JUST ONE, IT DOESN'T HURT.
The actors looked so _uncomfortable_ being there, even before the editors removed all semblance of motivation, character or even backstory for most characters. The only credit for acting I can give to this 2.5 hour high speed motorway pileup are to the two female leads, and even then dubiously.
The main questions posed by the movie are a bland and overdone tropes: can AI have a soul or a redemption or a sympathetic character if it acts like one.

But even these boring ideas were the only mildly creative work extruded through the corporate anus that this awful waste of time demonstrated.
Or the advertising revenue from the constant Ducati, Audi, Honda and fucking ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL ads shoehorned in with the delicacy of a boxer doing proctology, or the bargain basement that this trash: if ever released on CD-ROM, is destined to be a week after release.
TRON Ares is a pile of wormy pig swill masquerading as a movie. A dumpster more full of corporate advertising than imagination, plot, motivation or even action for heavens' sake. I genuinely wonder if the revenues from this car crash of a third rate movie are greater in box office sales,...
I have just been out to the cinema, my first real trip out since a surgery. It was somewhat uncomfortable, as I can't wear a belt without it resting on my scar - which is still painful, even when I'm reclined.

What was more painful was the absolute garbage I watched. Here is my review of TRON Ares:
Well, another thing I have to think about.
OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

I highly recommend this podcast episode about the immense pressure the current administration is placing on immigration judges—who, notably, are not part of the judiciary but work under the Department of Justice.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.

Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Some people are saying "you should return that book you bought for this video" but I would NEVER do that to a self-published author. Not even to Mr. Wolf Dingle.

Another deep thought from the pre-eminent genius of our time. Thinking of things is easier than doing them. I just thought of warp drive. But can I do it? Checkmate Musk haters
The idea for a Hyperloop, for example, would be really easy to just spout bullshit about…

hi, federal judge expert here! this is not funny. conservative, Reagan-appointed district judges only use epistolary framing devices in their opinions when they are in extreme distress.
the postcard cited in judge young's ruling isn't just at the top, it's a framing device. the whole opinion is a letter to the postcard writer. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Programming wise the best thing I have found LLMs for is API reference. When I use something like Claude and it responds with large "scalable" solutions I'm like whoa there cowboy (A) that is useless for my implementation and (B) now I have 100x more stuff to read through. Anyways it's not god etc

If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

I've always wondered if there's an aspect of "mine's bigger than yours", or if it's just he doesn't know how to tie his tie.
