Oh my yes.
- Comment on Season 3 Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 20 hours ago:
Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.
- Comment on SkyShowtime NL has confirmed, via a comment on their Official Facebook page, that Season 3 will arrive on August 1st. No Date for Paramount+ has been shared yet. 2 days ago:
- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 4 days ago:
Yeah but I think it’s childish to complain about movies “might as well not existing” if you haven’t even looked for them.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 1 week ago:
The American system is far from ideal but I’m convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a “lack of choice” or “monoparty” are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the “The DNC installed Biden” language was all over Reddit.
- Comment on Colm Meaney wanted to play O'Brien as American. “Rick Berman sat me down and said, ‘The whole notion of this show is that it’s multiracial’… I reluctantly started to play him Irish" 2 weeks ago:
Well said and I’m glad to see this perspective expressed. “Entertainment” is the spice we give art to well, spice it up. But without the art part, pure entertainment is to our minds like eating a bowl of candy is to our bodies.

Oh yeah I should have mentioned that the whole interview is great

- Comment on AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:
That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.
It doesn’t shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but “multiplied tens of times”? A recent comment me chuckle:
“Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore.”
(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).
- Comment on AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s interesting how “maximizing for engagement” inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?

Good Lord, didn’t anybody here build ships in bottles when they were boys?
- Comment on Weyouns, Ranked 2 weeks ago:
I have a LOT of notes on this that will eventually be turned into multiple c/DaystromInstitute submissions.
- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 2 weeks ago:
The nepotism part has always been true, but the category of celebrities “being famous talent” did not exist until Paris Hilton. Socialites and “famous” talent-less people like Florence Foster Jenkins did not have “fans” the way influences do today.

…Propaganda? Cnet?
- Comment on Christie's First-Ever AI Art Auction Earns $728,000, Plus Controversy 3 weeks ago:
Well said. I think AI “art” is really best considered just a form of entertainment since there is no human perspective put into it. Adam Savage said it best (paraphrasing here) “In order for me to be interested in a work of art it needs to be coming from a point of view. I don’t see anything resembling a point of view with AI.”

Is there a source anywhere for this besides this youtubers saying so? I searched but was unable to find anything.

“Fag” is a homophobic slur and “shoop da woop” is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.

/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose “normie” redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.
- Comment on Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives! 4 weeks ago:
“Shoop da woop” was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole “newfag”, “oldfag” etc thing has been going on since forever.

Sorry to hear that, I found his enthusiasm really charming!
