It kind of does when you're spending over quarter of a billion dollars making and marketing the movie.

No idea, but the crown is lying in the gutter just waiting for someone to pick it up.

Because I've read the Constitution?

This isn't some thousand-page EU regulation we're talking about here. It's a very simple document of a few pages. There's nothing in it allowing 90% of what the Federal government does these days, and the founders were explicitly against some of those things like having a standing army.

It takes decades of legal training to determine that when the Constitution says "shall not be infringed" it actually means "government can do whatever it likes, akchually."

Indeed. We desperately need a king but, thanks to Our Democracy, all we get are clowns.

To be fair, you need at least 256GB of RAM just to run the 2-bit version of this model. Most people aren't going to be able to do that at home.

But yeah, the Chinese government is willing to throw lots of money at building AI models and giving them away, so Western companies are screwed.

1. Ttis.
2. Wonder Woman was actually likeable.
3. Woke wasn't being shoved in our face by theatre kids who probably used to try to force their siblings to eat worms when they were younger.

I saw a few seconds of some clip of Supergirl with Superman acting all bratty and drunk and it was obvious this movie wasn't for me.

Now, in a way it's unfair to complain about a superhero movie being Woke, because superheros have always been Woke; they were created to push a foreign agenda on Americans, which is one reason they never did particularly well outside America. Europeans didn't care much for them because they were so gay. In America kids would get SuperSpiderBatWoman lecturing about how it could never kill Bad Guy who'd just wrecked a city and would do it again next week if he was still alive, whereas we were reading Judge Dredd where he'd execute half a dozen bad guys in the first three frames of the story.

Democrats only care about the Constitution when it affects their grift. At least 90% of everything the Federal government does is obviously unconstitutional but they never complain about that.
Anyway, Muh Interstate Commerce Clause. Elections affect interstate commerce, therefore the Feds have every right to regulate them. There you go.

Being able to send payments through the mail is high-trust behavior. We no longer live in high-trust societies.

The other problem is that Woke characters can never fail or do anything wrong and rarely even have to train to succeed, which makes Woke stories incredibly boring.
Now, it's true that a lot of traditional non-Woke characters will always succeed by the end of the book and the reader knows that, but they do have to defeat numerous problems along the way which at least look like they could fail. Woke characters just wander through those problems protected by Woke Armor.

As I've said before, governments will introduce Cash for Clankers programs so all that weapons-grade RAM and GPUs don't get into the hands of the proles.
And to bail out their friends, but mostly to ensure we can't buy it cheap.

> Studios are sociopaths with no agenda beyond making money.

If that was true, they wouldn't be making DIE movies which lose vast amounts of money and are basically unsellable in major markets like China,

It's very clear that studios don't care about making money or they would be making popular movies rather than wrecking what were extremely popular franchises by stuffing them full of Woke. Only Boomers still believe that nonsense about "companies are only doing this to make money."

You do realize these top-tier models require way more than 256GB? I can run Qwen and gpt-oss models pretty well in 128GB but there's a lack of open models between there and 512GB to make it worth upgrading to 256.

You do realize that the AI companies are taking a loss on those plans?

We used to be on some fixed-rate-burn-all-the-forests-you-want-to-power-the-stack-of-GPUs plan, but then the vendor switched to charging per token. Costs went up 10x overnight. We switched to another fixed-rate plan elsewhere but they will have to switch to charging per token before long or go bankrupt.

And the more that companies sack humans and replace them with AI, the more locked in they become to AI companies who can increase fees at will. But I'm sure those AI companies are run by lovely, lovely people who wouldn't take advantage of that lockin to charge as much as they can get away with.

There was that time when Supergirl was dating her horse. I think that could make an interesting movie for modern audiences.
Otherwise, yeah, the super-genre movies are so similar I can't even tell them apart, let alone care whether the bad guy wins.

Fun fact: Paris was founded around 225 BC.
