Hah yeah it really doesn’t, does it‽

She is Elizabeth Holmes. Convicted fraudster responsible for Therenos which promised to sell miracle blood testing kits, but actually just got a lot of investor cash and conned a lot of people. Looking at this trailer, she still seems to believe her own crazy, but who knows.

He is Nathan Fielder, I guess you’d call him a filmmaker comedian? His schtick is that he’s basically able to put people in awkward situations in a way that is frankly hard to describe for me. The Rehearsal and Nathan For You are both very very unique and hilarious, but not for everyone.

I am unreasonably excited for this movie.

    Why try to argue against the vocabulary on this one?

    Of course it’s artificial intelligence.

    We’ve used “artificial intelligence” to mean everything from bots in games to Deep Blue, to protein folding and ML predictions, and those are a whole hell of a lot more specialized than llms.

    Modern llms pass the Turing Test for a LOT of people.

    Are there lots of problems with it as it is now? Absolutely yes. Environmental, ethical, economic, and on and on and on. All this on top of the fact that it quite bad at many many tasks. But if it’s not artificial intelligence, you’re just moving the goal posts.

    I've been slow to make an upgrade, and figure what better time to switch to linux?

    Did what I could to try to research that the parts were all fairly linux friendly, with a warning about the motherboard's wifi7 maybe not yet supported yet by the kernel.

    Looking for a mid-high range build without going crazy on the cost. Build actually came in a bit cheaper than I expected, so feel like maybe I'm missing something here.

    My monitor, which I'm planning to keep, does have G-Sync, but I don't know that I'll miss it.

    PS: I know i can get more life out of my old hardware, but I want to turn that into a NAS.

    EDIT: Fixed link.

     

    Lifetime Pass Member.. just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

    … just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

    EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.
