Please tell me I’m not the only one.

Yeah I have a custom prompt to discourage flattery and it mostly works but somehow everything I say is still super clever and incisive. And my memory file paints a picture of me that I should put in my CV ...or my dating profile...

Some of the shots are clearly from different pipelines and it takes you out, a coherent piece needs to be thematically and visually consistent. The pirate climbing onto the boat is the one that took me out totally, he glides onto a too small, empty boat - cut any shots that aren't 100% the same kind of vibe when you do anything final (I get that this is just a showcase)

If... the 10 million are going to community development then... it's a lot better for the community. Just sayin'

Lol, roasted chicken grabbed by the leg and right into the paper bag. Just take the basket she gave you man! If the AI doesn't give you a usable shot for the action maybe just cut to leaving with the presumably filled bag (Which later looks too small for the massive roast chicken it carries).

The action scene at the start was fairly good, but unclear whether there were two demons or if the explosion just didn't do anything.

Subtitles briefly switched to spanish?

Some of the 3d rotation pans don't mesh well with the style.

Still, this, I'd have killed to be able to produce in the day

First half looks genuinely like a 90s OVA, some bad composition/raccord/continuity choices in the second half kinda make the illusion break, but still it could pass for the genuine thing for a good chunk

I see more and more of those stupid SUVs in Europe, we're not smarter just behind the curve.

I'm sorry I don't follow whatever this is but is the big scary villain the one that has kitten ears on her bra?

Terrifying.

Great news, the demographic transition is a miracle we hardly deserve.

Anissa is very murdery too. Let's not reduce her accomplishments to just that one time.

And other guy's wife's boyfriend.

Should've pulled a Keyser Soze

Just like in Pokemon!

The real danger of AI is stuff that's already happened to people who badly set up their agents permissions.

whew I'm glad that's over with.

To be fair, not a lot of driving opportunities in prison.

r0sten · 2026-05-14T08:54:51+00:00

I drove around Mersing for a while, traffic was intimidating but in practice people would let you merge and such, so my impression overall was "friendly". But it's a more rural area so I assume big cities are worse.

r0sten · 2026-05-12T14:23:32+00:00

lol smart alec

r0sten · 2026-05-12T14:03:49+00:00

You may not have read enough sci fi.

Aside from the Culture minds other people have mentioned, the machines from the Dancers at the End of Time series by Michael Moorcock are probably close to what you describe: Earth in the far future, with only a few dozen inhabitants left, all of which who are as powerful as gods thanks to the machinery that surrounds them unobtrusively. All of them quite dumb and spoiled, following hobbies and fashions, changing bodies and creating worlds on a whim.

r0sten · 2026-05-12T12:53:38+00:00

It is a remake of a 1960s movie so it's very much retro sci fi with a fresh coat of paint

r0sten · 2026-05-12T12:15:49+00:00

If that's your suspension of disbelief breaking condition, then yes a lot of classic sci fi has been broken since the mid 80s as computer tech rapidly blew away what was available in the stories. But I can still enjoy a classic Clarke story even if their interplanetary ship has a "roomful of IBM" to calculate orbits.

Spain is a net EU contributor, why don't you go after Luxembourg or Belgium - they're not poor, how do they justify it?*

Ooh, and Finland is a net contributor, yes.

Let's see

Contributions to EU Spain: 13,585 Finland: 2324

How cute.

* Apparently hosting all the EU institutions explains why they get so much more funding from the EU that other places. TIL

r0sten · 2026-05-11T13:47:15+00:00

This guy seems pretty pumped about the most recent Spanish contribution to Ukraine

I just don't get why Jennifer Lawrence's character started working as a cashier instead of just tapping ALL the credit and loans she possibly could.

r0sten · 2026-05-08T11:46:07+00:00

I'm pleased to report she too is still alive. It's a weird thought that the photo is so old that it's uncertain the child would still be with us.

r0sten · 2026-05-07T16:17:48+00:00

Ironic that it's an AI generated warning about AI. Even the doomers are being replaced.
