Funny. Right around the corner from me. I saw one turning right off Hamilton just yesterday.

Fair points, though let’s make a distinction here, as I would argue that Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark were GREAT ideas, not just good, though there’s some wiggle room in both of those labels for subjectivity. Not every movie is as commercially successful as Star Wars, but it might come away to public and critical reception as “good”, more than break even at the box office, and set the director up for being allowed to direct again.

Nowadays though, it seems like traditional movie studios only want mega blockbusters, which left the door open for Netflix and Amazon to create things with lower financial expectations, but still deliver quality.

So basically, I don’t equate good, with blockbuster, or whatever Schrader equates with good. I can fondly name 20 or 30 movies that made out okay, that weren’t necessarily hard for a good writer to come up with, that all had different subjects.

“Why should writers sit around for months searching for a good idea when AI can provide one in seconds?”

If it takes a writer months to come up with a good idea to flesh out with a screenplay, they are in the wrong business.

He raised 12 million bucks from a vacuum of knowledge. Not so sure about energy.

“ The device would work with Trump Mobile's service plan. For $47.45 per month, Trump Mobile's "47 Plan" (2), which operates on the T-Mobile network, claims to be "better than the rest," offering 100% U.S.-based support; extensive 5G coverage; unlimited talk, text and data; telehealth services; roadside assistance, and international calling to over 230 countries and territories.”

If you fell for that you deserve to lose your money.

“ They even discussed opening a mutually-branded clinic together in Abu Dhabi.”

Going after the big money, fad-following elite? Or does the locale mitigate the (financial) risk?

They might just as well have asked if he had a meeting with AI.

Harvey Dent…

Call me paranoid, but a tech bro backing a shock collar company? In today’s political climate?

I love this. You should expand on this. There’s a “silly phone app to play with while you’re waiting for something” in here somewhere.

So…Copilot is the Fox News of AI?

So what are you like when you’re on your medication?

ChatGPT, how do I appear more human?

Money.

Totally not written by AI.

Tech bro promises…

Perfect response.

Just one question. How do we pronounce “Linex”?

I would settle for putting Claude in charge of the country.

Is it me you’re looking for?

Imagine if you could come up with a way to get ‘em to cough up a dollar.

Move over Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon…

I have 20+ years in municipal IT. Almost 10 years ago, I was standing in line in the morning at our local Jack in the Box, with a man in front of me, who obviously painted for a living (white overalls, paint all over). While waiting he glanced at my shirt with the municipal logo and Information Technology insignia. “You work in IT?” “Yep.” I replied. Then he identified himself as a former project manager, burnt out, rattled off a list of companies he did contract work for, and said he’s now happier than he’s ever been. Take that for what it’s worth. After all these years, I’ve realized the value of an occupation that makes perfect sense. Information Technology is not one of them.

If anyone’s interested, I learned how to long divide again today.

Oh I know what I'm doing on my lunch break today.

Everything should just be in Zalgo text.

“I am the main Dish of the Day,” it said, “and may I interest you in some parts?”

Great. Now I only have a month to learn them.

Which will be immediately followed by chop shops parting out robots.

The Democrats are forcing him to override it silly, duh.
