Sometimes I realize AI has a ways to go before taking over the world
Yeah, but if we keep relying on computers to do most of the thinking for us wants the difference? We are going to have movies and music generated by AI that will be incredibly popular before we die. Isn't that really freaking weird to think about?- NorthCyd

***Official 2025 Weather Thread***
So I've seen a lot of "We don't usually see warnings this far out" comments lately. Has something changed in forecasting, like AI, or are we seeing changing weather patterns? -
Sometimes I realize AI has a ways to go before taking over the world
I mean, it's not wrong and there are a fair number of people who don't know what bile is so maybe not too far. There is a lot of evidence we aren't getting any smarter as a society.- NorthCyd

Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
Probably not a lot of happy endings in this story. I guess we know Mon Mothma survives. That's about it. -
Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
I honestly don't think it went too far. Obviously a heavy subject matter for Star Wars but it wasn't graphic at all and she stood up for herself and killed the guy. Hopefully Bix gets a happy ending out of all this because she's had it rough in this story. -

Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
After finishing episode 2 I get the complaints of that one being slow. I liked it, but not a lot happened to move the plot forward. Liked the easter egg at the end. -
Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
I thought a lot happened in Episode 1. Starts off with a big action set piece and then lays the plot for what I assume happens in the next 2 episodes. Catching up with old characters and introducing new ones there wasn't a lot of breathing room IMO. -

That was a tight 50 minutes for the first episode of Andor! If that's the pace of the whole season holy crap. -
Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
Really the themes in Andor are timeless and analogous to all sorts of situations. Many more than just North Korea and Russia. If that's really all you can think of do a little bit of research. Autocratic regimes are having a moment in many places across the world right now, and there have been... -
Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
Yes. Way better. The first three episodes are a pretty slow burn. If after episode 6 you still don't like it you can personally call me out and tell me I suck. -
Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
The funny thing is Gilroy isn't a big Star Wars fan, and maybe that's a good thing. As he puts it "creators can "lose their way" when they get too caught up in Star Wars lore and fan expectations". Themes of oppression, radicalization, and rebellion were always core to the Star Wars story but... -

Embargo lifted on social media comments for Andor season 2, and no surprise people are raving about it. Two more days. https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2025/04/19/andor-season-2-early-reviews-flood-social-media---heres-what-critics-are-saying/ -

Black Roadside Cameras
I mean, if it's a personal Facebook post whatever, but if you are a company like Google I 100% get it. It's stupid not to IMO. -
Black Roadside Cameras
Because it's easy to do and removes chance of litigation. -

This is only true if the government is benevolent and law abiding. -

1300 cameras in Dubuque? WTF? Do they have like two at every intersection? -
Black Roadside Cameras
I don't love license plate trackers, but I'm also carrying around a personal tracking device. An official with a warrant can get access to that info, and in the not too distant future they may just do away with the warrant part if it, so I'm pretty thoroughly surveilled either way. -
Black Roadside Cameras
So I've noticed these small black cameras with solar panels on the side of the road recently in north Polk County. There is one on NW 66th just west of the Des Moines river on the north side of the road, and then I saw one in Ankeny on NW State St by the sports complex and Goldfinch Sports...
