Cursive is only good for fountain pens and dip pens. Also I think it's taught in a fundamentally incorrect way, like it's a separate alphabet. It's not: it's just a standard way to connect the letter shapes. Mutations from that starting point are inevitable but should not be considered the target.

I wholeheartedly agree. Honestly I think it's one of the worst movies I've seen. The plot has culdesacs and relies on contrived coincidence. The characters make stupid decisions, but not like actual person stupid, like, just completely unrealistic. The little I liked was undone in RoS.

No no, and in fact he is BUILDING A GIANT FUCKING GOLDEN BALLROOM FOR HIMSELF AND HIS PEDO FRIENDS. Which is why I think "Neon Nero" is the most appropriate nickname for the bastard.

I hate how the news media are using the term "crackdown" to describe these things. A "crackdown" implies what they're doing is legal in the first place. This is just tyranny.

Right, i.e. a climate model based on past climate data doesn't work when the climate starts changing swiftly away from long established patterns.

There's a lot to love here.... I think my favorite is the GOURMET KITCHEN that's just a space between spaces and bedrooms.

He talks to reporters like he doesn't understand what reporting is. Like all these people are just asking whatever questions they want and he's just talking back to them personally.

Truly a wonderful movie. But the classicist in me is trying to make sense of the middle left image. What space is this? What temples are those? Venus and Roma? Then what's the one on the right? That looks like the arch of Constantine but the closest arch to that position would be Titus?

Is it algae? Is it fungus? Is it small? Is it humongous?
In any case, I wouldn't try it. That would go against my diet. But, perhaps if you could fry it?
It might be good... I hope it would. I think it should...

Yes! Now I can put my finger on it: it's not the AI itself that worries me, it's the propaganda from OpenAI et al. trying to make their services seem indispensable and trying to get kids and CEOs hooked on it.
