Yeah Fatty Trump and Beardo Vance, grow up. Being woke ist just what kids do. Kids will be kids and all. That's all there is to it. Focus on the real issue, namely that such fatties and beardos are doing fascism all over the country.

Die Meinungsfreiheit ist aber nur durch eine Seite in Gefahr. Wenn nur einseitig die Meinungsfreiheit hochgehalten wird, klappt das Bewahren natürlich nicht. Das sollte man dann mindestens noch ehrlich so benennen. Klar das eine SPD das nicht machen würde.

I think after all these years of playing these really good Witcher games it's much harder, than it might be otherwise, to just passively watch a show about it. The interactivity of a game gets me invested in a way a TV show just can't.

Spam filters from the year 2000 were more effective in filtering spam emails than LLMs are today. And those spam filters sure as hell didn't need any dedicated server farms to function. I know there is a whole world of issues with LLMs, but this is probably the most glaring thing that blows my mind.

“I went and visited the set last year, and out of all the movies that I’ve worked on in my entire life — even Barbie — it was [the biggest]. It was massive. I think we took over two or three sound stages. This was on eight back lots… [Characters] walking around that are eight-feet tall.”
