Finally thought of a good AI use case that no one will ever do.

When I record a meeting or something, I want it to replace my voice with Burt Reynolds when I'm listening to the play back. Not anyone else, just me, when I'm listening to myself.

Almost as much time has passed from the end of Star Trek: TOS (1969) to Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) than the last of the new series of movies - Star Trek Beyond 2016.

So when are we getting the Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban in the maroon uniforms?

Yes, but also, these are the same people who don't see the Confederate Flag as a hate symbol.

When I was a kid my pop taught me something I'm going to paraphrase here:

If you are using the cross to sell your work instead of it standing on its own merit, it probably isn't that great of work.

Back in the day, it was about the cross, but I think the flag applies just as much if not more so.

Like I don't know about y'all but my first instinct anymore when I see someone wearing something with the American flag on it or having an American flag up is to immediately not trust them. Like I'm so unpatriotic, especially with the way the USA is going, that I don't trust people who are patriotic

There are three movies better than the novels/short stories they were based on:

Stand By Me > The Body
Shawshank Redemption > The Rita Hayworth Redemption
Bicentennial Man > Bicentennial Man

Two Stephen King, and one Isaac Asimov.

Great fucking album. I based so much of my High School D&D campaign on it.

Considering I've never purchased a Jenga set, and yet somehow I've owned three of them, I think he's fine.

Actual contribution to the conversation:

Ease of set up and take down. I like the Portal boardgame, thematically it hits, the rules are pretty good, but the set up is a PITA. On a game night with limited time, it makes a difference.

I think in the next few years, there's going to be a massive slow down of new. That's when the real modern classics will show.

Stephanie Smith @biffybeans.bsky.social · 27d

A well known board game designer told me the majority of new games get played ONCE and I have a big problem w/ that. I get that not everything can be a hit, but I feel like something must be missing from design in general if this is happening. Rushed designs? Poor rulebooks? Bad visual design?

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.

SNW went from being one of my favorite ST shows to one of my least. Right now, it's battling ENT for that position (Huzzah Post 9/11 Jingoism!).

Part of the problem with AI is that we are using the term for several different similar technologies. Some of which are very beneficial, a few that are bad, and a few that are bad because of the way they are being used.

I've been trying to up my game when it comes to mini painting again. I plateaued a long time ago, and stopped trying, because it was so hard and takes so long. However, trying hard at art has been re-invigorating.
