  • Conservatives do not understand subtext, satire, or allegory. They don't assign what they like or don't based on any meaningful understanding of the message it conveys. They get told what to like and believe by authority and follow it, constantly dismissing or dissonancing any message from what they consume that doesn't align with their instilled beliefs.

  • Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace was originally planned to be a covert Sith Master. He force jumps, he uses mind control, and he "accidentally" sabotages them. But the negative reaction to him was so strong, Lucas reworked the last 2 scripts of the prequels and is why Count Dooku basically comes out of nowhere.

  • What are your thoughs about YouTube clickbait?

    Jump
    • Do you use youtube mainly? Daily, but secondary to Twitch
      • Do you care about clickbait? Nope
        • Did clickbait make you stop seeing some creator? Clickbait that are lies damage my opinion of a creator, clickbait that's honest is irrelevant
          • Did you use youtube but clickbait (among other things) made you to stop using it's platform? Still use YT
            • Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube's problems? Nope, discoverability, live streaming, and comments are all bigger imo
              • Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones? Only negative is when it is intentionally deceptive.
                • Could we see clickbait as a necessary evil? It is as necessary as all advertising is, if it's honest, fine, if not, then no.

  • Iirc, the revelations anti-christ is supposed to rule for 7 years, I also have some memory that there was a hint it might not be consecutive.

  • Government shutdown could cost US economy billions of dollars a week, analysts says

    Jump

  • I normally would say, keep it down until they give tangible concessions, but there's basically nothing I believe they could agree to that they wouldn't immediately backtrack on. So, just leave it all shuttered, GDP means shit to me.

    Disney+ Has Lost 1.7 Million Subscribers Since Cancelling Jimmy Kimmel on Behalf of the Chomo in Chief.

    Jump

  • Bringing back Kimmel wasn't enough for me to resub, that doesn't change that they're willing to capitulate, just shows they do a cost/benefit on it. If they'd gone "Fuck you, make me" I'd have still had respect for them, but they don't earn back respect just by undoing the bad thing they did, they'd need to do more.

  • Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

    Jump

  • I'll be honest, I can't remember all my particular criticisms, but here's my impressions that I have left:

    It'd be more accurately titled Star Trek: Burnham, because 95% of the time, every problem or mystery is somehow related to Burnham, everyone else is just supporting cast.

    Like Picard, each season felt very disconnected from the others, there's some continuity, but you could almost name the season based on the feel of an episode.

    Plots more often than not felt underwhelming, as they were solved by essentially deus ex machina, mcguffins, surprise reveals or abrupt character changes.

    It was largely visually ok, actors all did at least a decent job.

    I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode.

  • Magic: The Gathering to Honor 60th Anniversary of Star Trek with Special Tribute Set

    Jump

  • They started a new strategy in the last few years, Universes Beyond, which is MTG sets based on other IPs. They've done it for dozens of properties, it is basically just printing money for them, people who don't play at all try to get them because they're collectables related to the IP, which causes scarcity, which allows them to justify higher prices while still selling out.

    The player base has mixed responses on it, obviously higher prices is unwelcome, and some people don't like the IP being diluted ("This is my SpongeBob/Spiderman/Space Marine deck"), but some people like those properties and enjoy overlapping their interests. It doesn't help that a lot of the recent "original" set IPs have been kinda meh.

    The funniest thing recently is that they made a whole Marvel set, but failed to get the digital rights (probably something to do with Marvel Snap). So they had to reskin and rename the set and cards to release it in their digital clients.

  • Most of the best advice I've heard on this topic have been on Adam Savage's Tested YouTube, he does a lot of Q&A's and people ask about pursuing their passion and freelance work, I'd recommend you watch some of the more popular ones.

  • Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I'd say the use cases of: mundane but time consuming, pointed inquiries or interactive rubber ducking, are all getting AI help. Offloading a design where you don't have a clear understanding of how it should be done is vibing.

  • The way I see it is, the usefulness of straight LLM generated text is indirectly proportional to the importance of the work. If someone is asking for text for the sake of text and can't be convinced otherwise, give 'em slop.

    But I also feel that properly trained & prompted LLM generated text is a force multiplier when combined with revision and fact checking, also varying indirectly proportional with experience and familiarity with the topic.
