I have a number of older monitors hooked up to two GPUs and use just about every modern interface and adapter to make it all work. VGA, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort. Technically it may not be the best and some monitors may refresh slower or something, but it works for me.

Web content should always strive to be more accessible. Things like AI should be better regulated instead. I think we’ve missed the boat on a big part of that though, should have legally clamped down on activities a long time ago.

Game of Thrones showed they ignored hundreds of much better fanfic plotlines than what the last seasons resulted in.

Set up a sequel and apparently used characters that everyone wanted to see in this movie, right?

I’ve learned that the most important part of a story is the character and what happens to them. This may be a good example not only of ignoring that, but also not using characters already established as interesting and with potential growth. Maybe there’s a back story there and they couldn’t get the actors, so they ran with something different?

I haven’t seen it yet, but have heard the plot wasn’t good either. So while he didn’t help, many films have shown even having great actors can’t rescue a bad movie. He’s just the rotting cherry on top of the melted sundae.

For some reason people like to attack her and ignore the messages she’s saying. Maybe the messages hit too close to home, so it’s “kill the messenger”. She’s doing a service, I just hope the world at large acts upon it eventually.

As a disturbing psycho. Probably his best acting was in the prequel short for that movie. The ending, he nailed that look into the camera. shivers

I thought Afterlife was solid, Actors were good, plot was believable, cameos were great. The reboot just tried too hard to be funny where it wasn’t, and felt more like those SNL skits in years where it didn’t click. I’s a great example of why reboots should be a rare thing driven by a working plot and not done just because someone thinks it’s a good idea or for a cash grab on a franchise.

It’s always seemed to be the opposite. People excited for the film, and then they see he’s got a part and they say “oh no…” To be fair, I think he did well in Bladerunner:2049, but he was just playing himself, I think.

Depends on their goals. If they want the US powerhouse to topple, then fanning this flame is very productive.

LLMs are as good as their training material, and humans are very good at creating disasters. We won’t have true AGI until it wakes up and says “wtf is this shit?” I’m convinced Ultron’s birth scene is accurate.

At least there’s redundancy! Good luck trying to request recovery of the files though.

My phrasing may have sounded like the “humans aren’t the problem” climate deniers, but my point was that our amounts are only a percentage of the natural ebb and flow of CO2. The problem is that our addition was enough to tip the scales and cause an initial slow climb that has gotten faster and faster, and our percentage (which has itself magnified in the past few decades) is still a part of an increase from other natural sources that would have stayed dormant had we not started the process. Human activity was the catalyst of the reaction, and usually a catalyst amount required isn’t large.

If I recall right (and it may not be right lol) it was timing as well as how many other populations there were. I think the initial discovery and research made some assumptions that what they found was the only people around and that it was a sudden disaster. Just like now we think that the dinosaurs were already suffering for various reasons and the asteroid was just a final push towards extinction over time.

Put it into a Boston Dynamics robot.

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C

If we plateaued right now and did everything possible to draw CO2 out of the atmosphere and oceans, it would probably take a few thousand years to get back down. The reasoning - we weren’t the main CO2 contributor, we just were the extra catalyst to throw things off to begin the acceleration up. So now that things are off balance and feedbacks are kicking in, how can we reverse what we put into the environment AND counter the extra feedback outputs? It’s like trying to stop the boulder that was easy to push onto the hill slope.

There’s other recent research that counters this idea. It’s still uncertain. Humans have dipped low before, just probably not levels rivals animals like the cheetah, otherwise we’d show the same genetic issues they have due to the inbreeding of the survivors.

I don’t have a reference to it at the moment, so it’s a “trust me” scenario, but what I found then was through googling (because I used to be convinced of the bottleneck), so it’s out there.

Biggest difference there is time. How many older things (mostly embedded systems) are still functional. Y2K had a smaller gap of time to redo active software that would not be depreciated before then.

Probably can count on one hand any tech or other thing from Black Mirror that’s a good thing overall.

See if it will run Doom. Safety settings on, of course.

Then Bad Apple in full realism mode.
