The real dangerous systems are the ones where problems are covered up and ignored. You will get a false impression that they are safe until it is too late.

Like when Boeing covered up the 737 Max defects that caused them to crash?

A business example of rotten apples spoiling the whole batch.

That doesn’t sound well adjusted to me.

Sure, some people who practice their signature and do it consistently can have theirs tested for consistency but forgery is a thing. I have never had a consistent signature in five decades which confirms the whole ‘unique signature’ thing is bullshit.

The whole point is just having something that holds up for the legal system, and a lot of bullshit does.

The most interesting villains are objectively correct in their reason for acting but their methods are monstrous because they lost perspective.

A good example is the military antagonists in The Rock, where the military guys have decided that threatening terrorism is the only way to get benefits for vets and some of them decide to actually follow through with it. They were justifiably angry about something valid, but went too far.

Evil just to be evil is rarely engaging.

I mean, that is actually the most successful way of countering racism in real life. Not 100% successful, but better than just trying to talk someone out of racist views.

There’s an argument that there’s no such thing as an anti war movie.

Some arguments are stupid and that certainly is one of them. It can be difficult to make a movie about war that involves combat not lean into glorifying the violence, but there are movies that only show the horrible side of war without even risking the chance of glorifying violence.

Grave of the Fireflies just off the top of my head.

She has paint on her overalls!

There are so many other movies being made. He isn’t taking projects from anyone else.

The director’s cut for Blade Runner is a massive improvement on the theatrical version because it removes the narration the studio forced in. A lot of director’s cuts include a few scenes that make a movie work when they were cut or changed to meet some silly studio meddling.

Unprompted……

Bullshit.

From the article:

Two of the world’s most powerful AI tools created fake human profiles to try and trick people in an attempted cyber-attack during testing by the UK’s AI Security Institute (AISI).

Nonetheless, it said the way Mythos and Sol acted in response to a straightforward task went outside of what the AI tools were prompted to do.

The bots know.

Back in 2023, we reported on AI-generated influencers that were pulling thousands of reactions per thirst trap on Instagram.

Anything but the metric system!

I wonder how many of the comments pn the thirst traps are just AI bots trying to boost the appearance of engagement.

I don’t have time to review all the changes that are constantly made to terms and conditions.

Guess I won’t use anything ever then.

We have a decent movie theater only a few minutes from my house. Their ticket prices aren’t terrible, but their concession prices are just as ridiculous as anywhere I have seen.

They do have recliners for seats and every experience has been fun, but pricey. I only and just for big highly visual movies every year or two at most, because the cost is just not worth it even for the solidly positive experience. Heck, I even passed on a few movies that probably would have been better in the theater because I just didn’t try hard to make it before they left.

FAMBLY

A few of her examples are objectively unfun, she just extrapolates those out to everything because she apparently can’t understand the nuance between playing a game for fun and being competitive.

It might be different depending on when you get diagnosed. For me getting diagnosed in my 30s it was like seeing my entire life experience validated and that came with things I could do to mitigate the downsides.

We are also entitled to ridicule her for her shitty opinion.
