I genuinely believe the, "AI could wipe out humanity" thing is something they're promoting because it sounds sexy, powerful, and dangerous. They don't want to share the truth that AI is a complete nonstarter of stolen art, language models telling you you're a good boy, and wildly inaccurate data.

#Andor is one of those things that could have easily been a successful mid-tier trilogy called RISE OF THE REBELLION I-III but Disney put it on streaming for some reason. Same for Kenobi as a standalone movie. Hell you could release them all now. #StarWars #DisneyPlus

My amateur financial predictions are that the AI bubble is actually already bursting but the companies involved are spending so much that people aren't noticing that its been worse than the dotcom burst by far. They're throwing good many after bad to an absurd degree.

THE LAST OF US season 2 was one of those shows that failed for the fact that it didn't want to make Ellie unlikable and was excited about her falling in love. The problem with it is, well, it's not a love story. It's a story about choosing vengeance and hate over love. A thing Joel would've hated.

Do Tolkien orcs maintain a version of their elvish immortality? They die but instead of going to the Halls of Mandos, they sink down to the depths of Middle Earth to be reborn in Morgoth's pits. Only the human-orc hybrids have souls as we define them and breed conventionally. #LOTR #fantasy #books

Isn't it weird how some phrases come to mean their opposite? "Blood is thicker than water" is used to mean family comes before circumstance when the original saying was "Blood of the Lamb is thicker than the water of the womb" i.e. family of God or choice is more important than your blood relatives.

Grimdark Paragon runs are the best possible collision — either the world breaks him or he breaks it, and the reader genuinely can't call which. There's a whole LitRPG thesis in there about whether kindness is a strategy or a liability.
