My media use goes in cycles:
TV - really just background noise.
Movies.
Books.
Comics.
Games.
Binged a bunch of movies recently. FF, Ballerina, Superman, 28 Years Later, The French Dispatch, Isle of Dogs, Nobody 1 & 2, and books got set aside.

“Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.”
But I don’t see that anywhere in the linked PDF of the “full results”.
This sort of study should also be re-done from time to time to track AI version numbers.


The last few times I’ve been in the specifically asked me “If anyone asks, can we tell them you’re here?”
I’d imagine the default would be silence.

ETA to demolishing the entire White House in 3-2-1…


Hey, hey, hey… Don’t skip Thanksgiving!

Good! Once you start backing down you will be continually backing down.
Yeah, I expected as much which is why I don’t just knee-jerk remove stuff like this without giving people a shot at fixing it!


Pulling for Disney:



The rumor a few weeks ago was Paramount/Skydance… you know… this Paramount:

Dial H was a neat idea…
