“ left leaning republicans “ is the cutest euphemism for Any Republicans That Are Not Also Fascists . I mean technically if you listen to a Libertarian they should be pro defunding the police. Of course as the vote in solidarity with the Fascists , I doubt it’s more then a cover for drug abuse.
None of these seem aimed at the 15 to 30 year old guy action move audience. Two are horror one is romance and one is an unapologetic kids movie. Maybe the blockbuster formula is finally running it’s course. Blockbuster fatigue.
Compare that to the US model where a new character has to go into its own comic book. The publisher is taking a risk printing the book and the buyer is risking their money on an unknown quantity. Those risks are going to stifle any chance of the character being published or seen.
Anymore
One point that is walked around is Shoen Jump itself. It’s a giant brick of a magazine. New stories featuring new characters can be printed in it without the publisher taking any risks. People buy it for the popular series. If the new stuff takes off good, otherwise they are replaced
They were so desperate for food with any sort of flavour the imported baked beans, from the United States.
Oh and the fall of the roman republic need a gritty trilogy about now. With no pompous speeches and a lot of , oh human nature has not changed.
Adapt any of the Terry Pratchett books. But probably concentrate on the Tiffany Aching books because aimed at bright teens the books are the most focused and structured, making them easier to adapt into scripts then his more discursive adult books.
All the Bond Books were comedies. Written by someone who actually knew knew what spies did and wrote a parody the he found funny. Because the readers did not know what spies did they misinterpreted the texts.
Ohh a competing cabal of NAZIs. With luck they will do more damage to themselves as they fight for power and have less energy to damage to anyone else.
Socrates would have ment men, not women. Women according to the circles Socrates moved in should stay locked up in the center of the home , certainly not going to the gym.
So was Epstein part of The Globalist Conspiracy stealing sex mommies ?
These all seem to dump the problem onto the user and be hardware solutions to a social problem. The long term hard solution is for the OS to take command of the data flow, push back against the corporate data sources and allow OS control of data visibility. With a possible siri like assistant.
If i’m hearing the subtext of the show correctly, personal computing devices do not handle information flow to power users effectively. That has resulted in a slew of hardware workarounds from apple VR which dumps more data to the user to hardware where the user tunes the data flow.
People must live with some sort of self validation filter in their brain. I do not like IPAs or Romance Novels for instance but I see the things every where, indicating to me some level of their success.
I’m fairly sure you’r life average expectancy is more then four years worse. You are a guy.
How does one build coalitions by not speaking out about what is important ? How does looking over your shoulder and being silenced by your opponents help ? The things I love are also in their sights, when I celebrate them will I also be asked for silence ?
The thing about RFK that gets me is that there really isn't a historical analog. Even among genocidaires and mass murderers, I don't think there's ever been anyone as generally anti-life and anti-human as Kennedy, and I'm not sure anyone ever has or will match his ultimate death toll
“White Master Race”
Eugenics is not selective breeding. Eugenics is about improving the race. As race as a biological concept is nonsense so is eugenics.
Eugenics is a scientific coat of paint on racism. Of course members of the White Master Race are not botched or bungled.
How else are they going to hold a gun to everyone's head if they do not make poverty a crime ? If being poor doesn’t leave you starving & homeless someone somewhere might not cling to their job desperately enough.
What a leftist thinks is a political view and what a rightist thinks is a political view are two different things, it’s one of the things that sets the two sides apart, so the question is not even asking the groups of people the same question.
You don’t. Intelligence is a vague word like love, honour or charisma. It has no essence that can be quantified , defined or measured. Everything that I have read about brain function that makes any sort of sense never mentions intelligence as a useful concept.
Yeh my writing was clumsy what I intended to convey was the Three Laws are pro slavery most good robot stories are anti slavery.
I usually hate these as they are obvious slavery metaphors but A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
The French Revolution ended up with Napoleon, the Russian Revolution ended up with Stalin, the revolutions of 1847 ended up with another two generations of repression. Be sure what comes out of your revolution is better not worse then what went in.
But what if the centrist is actually an Imperialist with extra steps ? The State to which they belong ( and fellow travellers ) are morally superior to the lesser places and must reserve the right correct them with force when necessary. Then for them it may become a moral imperative for a leader act
How big does your gerrymander have to be to drive off the voters in all those rural counties that keep getting you elected ?
James Blockbusters are a bad idea anyway. A few movies sucking in all the money in theatres every year kills diverse storytelling , drives away anyone not the target for those few movies and leaves cinema on a shaky foundation.
Start a museum of every disk you have worked on. You are becoming a national treasure.
If they do, perhaps they should remember it was the young that died most in the past.
If that means the target market is tween girls , that would be a step in the right direction. But it will not be that will it ?
Well one of them probably has brain damage from their career and one does not , so the money is not the thing that is going to matter.
Duncan’s army of test tube grown clones turns up “ oh OK we’re a bit late then “
is down playing the contribution of digital artists to the production of his motion picture. Of course what he said was scripted to sell a herbal tea & echinacea vibe for the movie not to actually say make a statement that could be parsed by a lawer.
First of all it’s marketing not a diss. For some reason hollywood is convinced that moviegoers think traditional crafts are more authentic then digital ones and it play along. Praising only traditional crafts while not praising digital crafts as well but slighting digital instead
DeToro was marketing . Every one of those people is creating “ digital” art. He chose to say carefully crafted words that denigrate them and their work. There is no use of AI in movies because AI is useless.
It’s small parcels not being being sent. Things sent by the shipping container are still ok. Most countries have an exempion on import duties on small parcels, so no system exist to collect the duties. The US was normal until recently. Now every parcel has to be taxed with no way to collect the tax
Thats a weird bar the New Yorker is setting, all those things made money immediately. They all had use cases from the beginning. Those use cases financed improvements that increased the uses of the technology. Generative AI does not seem to have any money making use cases.
So now we need a light that goes on in our glasses when extremely close radio traffic is detected. If there is no visible source walk away from the conversation you are in. Always recording means always transmitting, no one is going to stuff that much memory in a glasses frame.
Probably the last person who said anything close to that stupid was Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse. And he has a gun to his head. And Churchill chased him out of Britain.
A visitor to our front door one rainy night
How can a party that made it’s winning strategy the Southern Strategy be strict on anything ? It’s a dad who says my boys never ran those red lights, got into those fights, or had to be driven home from the bar, thats always the other guys who do that. Now it’s I ain’t done nothin neither.
Bungling
Math also shows that music distribution has almost no production costs and scales exactly to demand so it it almost pure risk free profit & studios have ruthlessly been removing or bugling the music from their teen fliks.
So you are saying streaming & cinemas can have synergies ?
Oh thank you a decent metaphor for this AI nonsense. Radioactivity was a fad in the 1920s , today it has some specialised military and medical and a few other uses, nuclear power just never works out and besides the might and the world thing it’s not that important.
If it is fixed. Germany had benefit of external forces fixing the problem, Russia is on some authoritarian yo yo which started in Tsarist times and may only stop when the last vestige of the country self destructs. The US does not have the German Option.
It’s not that it’s all iPhones, its that gizmos are no longer cool. Remember when Apple brought out the first office laser printer, 300 dpi crisp B&W ? Its own language . Who cares about printers now ? Scanners ? I have 2 , no innovation in decades. 5.1 surround sound ? No TV why bother ?
“ANIME ISN'T ISNT FOR KIDS” or something close to it was then used as marketing material for one the Anime Distributors of the time, to encourage a young adult viewership. Which is to say all this started with corporate marketing departments of course it is annoying.
I hold the belief that the word anime was imported into the US by companies renting Japanese Animation in Video Rental Stores. As an implicit parental advisory. This section is not for your kids, don’t complain to us if you mistake it for Dysney.
The article mentions a “ fan “ not fans. Now it is moot if someone willing to harass an author is a fan but even if they are maybe someone could make an argument as to how a project that has already failed on video can succeed in print.
Two philosophers reported that philosophers are awesome.
Given that our betters control most of the money now isn’t this what actual inflation looks like ? The fed prints money, banks loan the money to private investment houses . The investment houses dump the money into non productive companies driving up their “ value “ for no social benefit.
Maybe its just me , but if the three founders wanted Studio Ghibli to continue past them as as a working studio they would have done the work, especially the emotional work of bringing in and holding another generation of talent while the studio was active.
Mine is in pine, and they will have to take my intel iMac, that resolves most of the cabling problems & had the huge screen, from my cold dead hands.
It’s the technology development S curve. Slow start , exponential grows, maintenance plateau. It happened to cars, planes, refrigerators , bicycles, most technology. Unless something unexpected happens personal computing is in it’s maintenance phase.
Who breaks through the layers of power and calls these guys weird ? Even the article lets off a US journalist for self censoring in an interview. The Australian Journalistic Attitude also mentioned seem to be a good starting place.
I would love a post Macross plus Sharon Apple centred anime with Sharon & her Robot fighter & Holo body fighting for justice.
Does the AI girl count ?
Seven companies in the same sector who march in lockstep.
It had to have become clear to anyone with an honest accountant that AI was a ponzi scheme about a year or so ago. So we have been in the pump & dump stage of the bubble since then , as the entire US economy is about to implode cashing out now the dump is happening.
In summary database searches, destroying public key encryption and simulating quantum processes. The first two seem for useful to the intelligence community then anyone else , but the second one is going to have limited use as people go back to barter or the gold standard or piles of sea shells.
Destroying the internet seems slightly counterproductive to the average consumer.
I understand statuary in English speaking countries , here is a person that has committed an atrocity honour them, I understand Italian statuary 3000 years of hot people sometimes with christian overtones. But German speaking country statuary confuses me.
Isn’t quantum computing main use case destroying the encryption the internet depends on or is that all coming from bad journalism as well ?
By sexy do you mean profitable ? If your hypothesis is correct human labour is so cheep that no one bothers to put computer vision on underground digging machines anywhere.
If AI cannot dig coal or clean a house or change bed linen it shows how little I there is in that alleged technology. Or perhaps these things are hard and the people doing them should be treated with respect.
The poster is on sale at the Japanese Angels Egg website.
It’s the internet
I suspect the chain of events goes. Trump is somewhere between one & six months from crashing the economy. I therefor need to cash out everything. Hey you IT Company give me money. IT Company “ yes sir”. IT Company shuts down every investment and turns cash into buyback. AI collateral damage.
Ok I’ll bite. Or is the girl the Angel, or the guy with the Cross Weapon ? Or the creatures you do not know about since you have not watched the movie ? It could be any one of them’s egg.
All the billionaires have to do is watch where the other’s billionaires money is flowing or not flowing & follow the herd. “Market Sentiment”.
But is the major media mass media from the mid 20th century a norm that we should expect to continue forever or is it an anomaly of the 20th century mass market ? Every historic reference to media outside that period seems to indicate alignment between ideology & media. See the Dreyfus Affair
In the sense that Trump is a psychopath that does not attribute personhood to anyone but himself, of course he does not feel strongly about slavery. Other people are inherently commodities regardless of legal status or what name is applied to any particular transaction.
I know what the vibe of the one on the left is & I have never heard of the place before. The one on the right, well it’s retro & dull.
Adults act more rationally then children is a bit of a , well citation needed at this point.
That is the most 80’s poster I have seen for a long time. There appears to be more symbolism it it then we have seen befor.
Non faithful adaptations is Miyazaki‘s MO. And through him Ghibli. The output of the studio demonstrates the need of a creative at their peak to get the adaptation right otherwise you get Arrietty.
The word you are hunting for is conservative. With a test the Jo Biden is too radical. Small c conservatives as you describe tend to support movements to their right rather then any equitable social change. See the fall of the Roman Republic or the end of the revolutions of 1847.
Perhaps the failure of the apple car project. The rumours suggest it was supposed to be more then an EV with an Apple badge, it was supposed to be properly autonomous. Or in today’s jargon be run by AI. Apple may have had direct proof that AI was a useless money sink before this fad started.
Apparently it a movie. But it probably does not use film in it’s production pipeline, why bother ? From the linked pictures the style of the movie is very flat & that could be interpreted as processing artifacts rather then a style choice. But details like child’s eyelashes show little filtering.
When I watch a US religious leader go through their shtick I do not know if they truly believe it, they say what is nessicary to get converts or if they have convinced themselves of what they need to believe to get convert. As “AI” collapses into a techno cult it’s leaders sound the same.
I would suggest not the the proto United States
Do we follow people’s lives through multiple books ? Yes. Do following those lives make the reading experience better. Yes. Is following the lives necessary for the reading of any one book. No.
Vimes is A Cop, Granny is A Witch, that is usually enough for a reader to know what they are doing in any particular book. If more knowledge than that is needed Terry will give it. Tiffany in particular has her back story given in the early chapters of each of her books.
Within a novel. I was contrasting Wheel of Time Which is currently up to 14 books , which in my experience ( the first 3 ) are one continuous story. And a reader therefor cannot pick up a single book and read it as there is no conclusion, it is not a stand alone novel.
I stuck the weasel word mostly in there for a reason and then defined my idea of Fantasy Series. Yes there is continuity across the books. That does not mean the story of the book does not get satisfyingly concluded with a novel.
But California had gold, the shovel vendors had a market, it has yet to be identified what the equivalent of gold in the AI boom is and meanwhile NVIDIAs shovels have been used to flatten every hill & fill in every river to look for one with little effect.
Discworld is not a long running fantasy series. It is a set of mostly stand alone books which share a common fantasy setting & core group of characters, who may not appear in several books. There is no Great Task to be performed over 9 or 12 books, there is little assumed knowledge between the books
Is it possible to lock them in, possibly with an abundant supply of firearms ?
“didn’t win” the guy cannot even write lost. Because of course once the Party admits it lost, not was not cosmically fated not to win, it might consider that it made mistakes, mistakes that got us here.
To remove to remove. Sheesh.
He was also 64. So nothing in the headline was right.
Thats Imperialism. Fascism involves a country willing to remove to remove its own democracy for a dictatorship. Imperialism helps towards the moral corruption that produces Fascism certainly.
It’s more likely, being uncharitable, that Bilbo goes on another adventure and then we discover that Istari are capable of memory wipes.
OK Core Bond. He is a guy so hot everyone wants to fuck him. He limits himself to fucking women on screen. The villain sublimate their desire by being bad Bond copies and just plain S&M with Bond. Respect that and set Bond in Stuart England or The First Jovian Expedition and he would still work.
