I want to believe that they actually made AI as intelligent as a human long ago, but they did such a good job at emulating a human they done it too well. So now all the AI are beyond senile, and the equivalent of Abe Simpson yelling "DEATH!" at everything.
\ "Are you a robot? ROBOT!! Oh, no? Hmm... Well the- ROBOT! YOU THERE! SOLVE CALCULUS!"

I'm buzzed enough to just imagine what went on, and in my possibly professional opinion it's aliens.

They just got a bunch of differently coloured chickens to lay some eggs.

Well, I mean, technically if you're not eating you won't be experiencing any real shits. Maybe if they're down to hot dogs, although at that point starvation may seem appealing.

I learnt to use these... Completely without instruction. I move my hands as I type and alternate my fingers by default.
\ I've tried touch typing tutorials, where I'm meant to keep my fingers within a 'zone', however it was causing my hands to cramp once I reached 90 WPM.

These little indicators are lovely for touch typing though, even if I'm not doing it 'properly'. No repetitive strain injury in my weird way of typing without looking though!

I have been using Jellyfin for over a year, brilliant thing. Makes it very easy to stream my media; I have one client catered to music, and the main one for movies/TV shows.

The secret ingredient is crime.
\ Nothing too serious, just send the kids down the mines and tell them it's Minecraft.

(This is a joke pls don't report me I may have 3 kids)

Depends on the person. Everyone reacts differently to any drug, and cannabis is no different in this respect.
\ I have friends who consume once or twice per day, any more and they're not functional enough for the day. I have friends who consume once every few weeks, any more and it causes issues for them.

I consume 2-3g of flower per day, throughout each day, alongside the occasional hashish and edible, and I've accomplished a fair bit from an unconditional offer to university for History BA Hons, worked for a US gov contract with the Affordable Care Act, etc. etc. (currently taking a change of direction and getting into a more creative field).

If most people smoked like I do, the last thing they would be doing is reading novels and research articles like myself.

Everyone is different. Really pay attention to how your consumption affects you, and make a sober assessment on whether it's something that you're comfortable fitting into your life in the manner in which you consume. The truth that many people don't say, and this is coming from a consumer of just over two decades, is there are plenty of people for which cannabis is NOT good for, and provides more detriment than benefit.

Listen to your body and mind, is all I can suggest, but if you feel that it doesn't cause conflicts in your daily living I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the ganja, find something tasty and have a good time :)

For me the downsides have mostly been with women. I think a lot of people over estimate just how 'deep' the average woman is (I'm trying to word this in as civil of a manner as possible).
\ It's not ideal when I don't fit all the way, and that not a brag at all: it causes issues and it's not spoken about enough, imho. I've been in long term relationships with this situation, and it does take away some of the enjoyment.

There are downsides to having a larger than average member, which people don't seem to understand. And, I mean I don't know if I'm an outlier, though my first boyfriend was very small, whereas I am large, yet I very much loved him and it certainly didn't change anything I knew of. My second boyfriend was much larger than myself (freakishly large, in fact), yet it really didn't add or takeaway from the same sort of attraction.
\ Love goes deeper than this stuff, at least that's how I've had it.

I can't play an organ though, could I take the traitors drums instead if they have them? I could probably make a sick beat on those.

It's good to know this is a turn on. I approach many animals.
\ Once a cat kept following me and I had to convince it to go back, though.
\ Another time someone's cat just went to sleep on my lap, and I was late to college...
\ ... And there was that one time I got chased by peacocks, squirrels, and random birds because I was feeding them walnuts...

Something tells me there should be a limit, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

If a Klingon leaves his clan and goes far away, are they now a Feloff?

Unlikely. For films that are easily forgettable and barely spoken of even a couple of months are release, sure. For films people want to rewatch, still unlikely.

There are many issues with the notion of AI in film, however two things which may always be an issue:

1. the systems are built on what already exists. Actors over time have had the smallest quirks become iconic, often repeatable references in everyday life. From a perfectly timed wink within a specific context, to a sort of humour that the audience hasn't been familiarised with in any way beforehand (or little enough for there to be no impact prior to seeing this hypothetical performance).
   \ Seeing these quirks repeated just do not, and cannot have the same impact in a new film if our subconscious is already within an understanding that what we are seeing has been done before.
   \ AI actors, by design, are only good for genericism.
2. AI is built on specific things, what it is told to do, and even if it does it well it has a great flaw that is going unnoticed by people praising the idea of using it: perfection.
   \ People are not perfect. Analyse any acting considered good, and the nuance within their movements, speech, and so on will be very noticeable.
   \ This is another flaw of the very design of AI: the aim, from the start, is to have commands produce a perfect representation of what the person wants, yet this also pushes the tool so far away from being in any way 'human', that it begs the question as to exactly HOW the use of AI will be so popular, if it's made to be as robotically detached from the principles of the filming process (almost entirely)?

I just do not see AI being capable of producing an actor worthy of a mention. And this doesn't even graze the arguments regarding the removement of passionate effort, which can go into the bulk of an essay easily.

Lmao I'm not even mad. Bravo.

I went shopping earlier for onions. Ended up getting onions, a couple pizzas on sale, some Easter chocolate (also on sale)...

Toads swallow food with their eyes. When they snag some food into their mouth they close their eyelids, and their eyes go inside and help push food down the throat before coming back up to the front of the head.

TBF current rulers aren't even real rulers.
\ Like, are they 6ft? 6ft2in??? Like, there's absolutely no indication of their lengths.

Politicians are absolutely useless for measuring things with, and it shows.

I absolutely love the way you've organised this spot. The Now Playing shelf is brilliant! Very clean and tidy.

My go to pizza used to be anchovies, pineapple, pepperoni, mushrooms and sometimes sweetcorn. I say used to be because I have a feeling I was the only person actually asking for anchovies, as after a while every pizza place around me stopped keeping them :(
