אני מצטער אבל כל האנשים שאומרים לי "אם לא תאמץ את זה אתה תיתקע מאחור", זה מי שמאמץ את הטכנולוגיה הזאת.
אני לא מעוניין לעלות על האוטובוס עם האנשים האלה. אני מעדיף ללכת ברגל.

The discourse on academic youtubers using ChatGPT to write their scripts included the position that English isn't these people's first language, or that it makes things somehow more consistent

Right wing nut jobs: Mamdani is going to impose Sharia law on NYC.

Actual Mamdani: please stay warm by reading the free hockey smut available at your local public library.
I’m crying from laughing so much at this. Same as the guy with the yellow folder who is clearly trying to not crack up.

Random Lexx mention.
Quick, make a wish!
There was an entire episode of the scifi series Lexx that was about this. A city on a planet hinted to be Hell filled with people who do nothing but solumnly document the horrible things that happen there, without ever doing anything to stop it

You watch any pre-CGI film, and every frame is the result of countless craftspeople demonstrating mastery, the absolute best that a human can achieve, and AI people want to replace that.

Why. Theres a _reason_ we want to watch athletes _live_. It's because it is _peak human_.

Well so is art.

Horses though; we should ansolutely CGI the shit out of horses.

More and more proposed use cases for LLMs are just trying to solve the very basic problem of having to read even the slightest amount of information.

My mum still tells the story of the day we were playing with my imaginary friend, and she really committed, set a seat at the table for him, buckled him in in the car, spoke to him, and as she put us to bed at night I gently gripped her arm and said "Mum, you do know he's not real?"
Toddlers really nail that combination of encouraging and patronising in their tone, and I don’t think it’s actually mirroring how we speak to them, I think they really do just assume adults are kindly idiots.

רוקסאן דוסון ביימה פרקים של Foundation, וכמה שיש לי ביקורת על הכתיבה והעלילה, בכל שאר האספקטים זו סדרה נהדרת.
לעומתו יש אחרים, כמו השחקנים שגילמו את רייקר, ג'ורדי, בלאנה ופאריס ועוד, שעסקו בבימוי ובכתיבה של סטאר טרק. אז למה דווקא הוא? אני רואה כמה אופציות:
1. מי שמובילים את הקמפיין הם לא חובבי סטאר טרק מספיק כדי לדעת את העובדה הפשוטה הזו שיש המון שחקנים ראויים ממנו. זה יותר "מה שעכשיו הוא רע ושאטנר הוא

When did it become the norm for books to annotate the POV character?
I used to read books as a kid, and the perspective change was part of the suspense and surprise; you'd pick up context clues, or it would be woven in the narrative.
But now more and more stuff is just signposted?
