Speedy's Cafe - General Chat about anything you like!
J.P. replied to Let's_have_dinner's topic in Miscellaneous Musings
I may sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I think the underlying purpose of bots is to train the AI behind them. I'm almost sure about the ones on FB. But they are taking them back AFAIK. -
To me, it's describing an impossible task, often driven by greed or selfishness. If you eat a cake, you "destroy it", so you won't have it anymore, if you want to keep it, you can't eat it. It's physics. "I want to spend my money on stupid expensive stuff, but I also want to save for a new car." … things like that.

It's solely to prove what you are NOT - a bot trying to interact with the website. Sometimes it's pictures (their bad quality ensures that only humans will recognize the elements), some simple mathematical calculations, or re-typing very distorted letters/numbers. However, with the development of AI, this method might become useless very soon. -
Also the chair-maker in While You Were Sleeping, the President in Independence Day, he was also in Lost Highway, Spaceballs… has quite a range and the part in The Sinner is quite dark and earnest. And very good.

I saw Ripley in the fall. And while I have to say it was the most beautifully shot show since maybe Shindler's List (the second isn't a show, I know ) I definitely found it too long-winded. The whole story could be done in 2 or 3 Episodes IMO. 3 Body Problem… Not really impressed. I've seen two first episodes of the original and it's a totally different show, probably more interesting. Into The Night? That one with the plane? What I remember (aka enjoyed) were The Sinner with Bill Pullman (a crime show with a bit of a Scandinavian mood to it), Punisher (hard stuff, questionable message, but I really enjoyed Jon Bernthal) and Yellowstone (so far). Still on the TWD trip though. Surprisingly to myself, I even started drawing again (after like 15+ years of hiatus) and spending too much money on stuff. There is a Con in Germany next year, which is unfortunate - I can't help thinking whether I should go.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It might be some British crime channel imo. No idea when, or if it gets a broader distribution. As for the streaming platforms - check if you have to pay for longer periods. I just do platform hopping. I'm registered on several of them, Sky, Amazon, Disney, Netflix. What I do though - I watch one of them, like for a month, and then cancel. Then I go to another one and do the same. All those services allow you to come back and renew the subscription, at least here.

Benedict and Sofie at the The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit. I'm afraid, Ben's Sherlock hair starts to resemble Mycroft's. O_O

Series 5 Rumors, Speculation, and Wish Lists

So young, so new to the topic. I'm jealous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok_(chatbot) As if we wouldn't have enough bots on Twitter already. 😕 It's new to me - we don't have it in the EU.

This! Thousand time this! I never thought I would feel Mycroft's goldfish quote THAT MUCH. That's a longer story actually and it started with Putin's war. Belarus is his ally and AFAIK they have invited migrants, flown them in by planes, and then sent them to the Polish border on feet. Apart from this being a humanitarian catastrophe, it was an additional burden for Poland, especially as they were dealing with a flood of Ukrainian refugees at the beginning of the war already and they had never before dealt with immigrants on that scale. The former government has chosen the US way of dealing with it and built a fence. Which of course doesn't solve the problem of people being stuck in the woods and getting desperate. I'm afraid I don't have a full picture of the situation, it's only things I catch on the radio and it's not that much. Anyway, just going back "home" isn't too tempting right now, even if there is hardly anything keeping me here besides the job. (And of course, the prospect of the move itself I hardly have energy for, but that's another story) The world became such an uninviting place.
