Reply to Did Isaac Asimov predict GPT-4? by theglandcanyon
Maybe rather than past fictions being predictions of future events, innovation is inspired by old ideas.
Was the Star Trek tricorder predicting cell phones, or did it inspire their creation?

Pizza is good. Pasta is good. Carbs on carbs, not so much.

Reply to Thoughts: There's no more 'Visual Spectacle' kind of films that can 'WOW' audiences anymore - We've seen it all by JudgementalButCute
Visual spectacle isn't just throwing tons of $$$ around to use the latest tech; it can be achieved by lo-tech means, it's about creativity.
I think the issue is films that are made by committee & market research, rather than uncompromising creative vision.

Any diet that gets you to stop eating processed b.s. is a good one.

I can't imagine why Tik-Tok should be installed on any kind of work computer.
But I also can't imagine having a job where I'm camped in front of a computer all day, just fucking off & pretending to be doing work whenever a manager is within viewing distance.
