  • Nadella’s buddies are all making AI garbage, so he thinks he has to make AI garbage too. Because he’s massively uncreative.

    And so all the managing leads think “Nadella likes AI! I must find a way to shove AI into my product so that my product/fiefdom doesn’t get the axe! I might even get a bonus! Or promotion!!!”

    And so all the coding slaves are tasked with shoehorning AI into every Microsoft product, app, and/or service.

  • There are so many of these stories in different cultures. Makes you wonder if they trace back to a specific animal that went extinct.

  • Let’s tax viewing Fox News instead.

  • Naming things after people frequently backfires. The person later turns out to be politically divisive, or a nazi, or a rapist, or a pedophile, or some other awful thing.

    I’m so tired of seeing “XYZ memorial highway” signs everywhere. And schools should just stick to naming themselves after the region (north/south/east/west), or going by PS numbers. It’s all just asking for trouble and a waste of taxpayer money.

  • Like voting. I wonder how the people who sat out the last presidential election in the US are feeling right about now?

  • Which Copilot do you get to block?

    • The software formerly known as Cortana?
    • The software formally known as Office?
    • The software formerly known as Bing?
    • The software that lets you make silly pictures of yourself as anime characters?

    I’m honestly surprised Microsoft hasn’t renamed windows “Copilot” at this point.

  • I’m sure the Tories have floated this idea more than a couple of times.

  • These people only want a stilt house if the rest of us pay to remodel their mansions.

  • Excommunicating him would probably just make him more popular with his voting base. I won’t be surprised to see him convert to “evangelical”, divorce his non-white non-Christian wife, and then marry Charlie Kirk’s widow.

  • This show is written for people who work in Hollywood/the industry. Lots of navel gazing, cameos, and inside jokes. So of course it’s nominated for a slew of awards.

  • I will never understand how this show got renewed past season one.

  • Season one was amazing. You have to wonder what went wrong.

  • I loved the first season of SeaQuest as a kid. The retooled second season, not so much. Reminded me of when they retooled the Buck Rogers show into the outer space Love Boat.

  • It’s a shame that the meddling they did to Mayfair witches ruined the story. I’d been waiting a long time for a show written around the first book of the series.

    The creative changes they made to Vampire Chronicles elevated the story, but here they got rid of two of the main and most interesting characters and storylines (love interest Michael Curry, and Talamascan Aaron Leightner) and then tried to replace them with some new character they had come up with. Just a really bizarre and sad choice.

    At least they gave the new character a different name. That opens the door to just writing him off and bringing in the characters from the book. But I haven’t seen or read any indications that the producers/writers plan to course correct this show.

    I do hope we will get some more Anne Rice shows. Talamasca has been entertaining, and her Mummy book would make a fun single season series.

  • I think the show works for some people, but I have a pet peeve about plots driven forward by stupid characters making obviously stupid decisions (Jesse Pinkman in this case). It was an immediate turn off for me.

    You might check out “Better Call Saul” though. Many of the better written characters from Breaking Bad show up here, and the spin off stands on its own until you get to the last half of the last season. You don’t have to have watched the other show to enjoy or follow it.

  • You know the show is gonna be bad when not even the trailers look horrible. I distinctly remember cringing at some of John Bradley’s lines in the first couple of teasers. I think they must have realized that his dialogue was awful because they started cutting his character completely out of the later trailers.

  • It’s sad because The Obi Wan show got retooled repeatedly during production. Pretty sure exec meddling ruined it. “Baby yoda is a huge hit! Let’s add baby Leia to Obi Wan stat!”
