My review of The Drama is that I’ve never watched anything where the characters’ coffee cups were more obviously empty throughout.

I feel like the debate about what parts of AI are good and what parts are bad should wait until we solve the worldwide crisis caused by the fact that almost of all of its evangelists in both tech and govt are morally, intellectually, and ethically unequipped to oversee it, when not downright evil.

There were so many more teens and tweens out and about in my neighborhood this summer thanks to e-bikes. Heck, there were even more kids out on regular bikes. It was great.

Masks are an extremely cheap & relatively efficient way to prevent all kinds of airborne illnesses getting into your own body. They don't harm surrounding people, they are easy to carry, can't be used in any devious way, yet that MD seems bothered by this completely innocuous things. I miss adults.

On top of all other reasons this is dumb and won’t happen, you’d no longer have the ability to talk about media with people. I’d want to hear about people’s AI movies less than I want to hear about their dreams—which is not at all. But since one of AI’s goals is isolation, guess this is a feature.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

“I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that,” Weir said. “I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.”

“For instance, as a lifelong Star Trek fan, it’s always bothered me that there is a presumed ‘responsibility’ within Star Trek shows to talk about social issues,” the writer added. “I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other.”
