His audience loves that. He has a team of writers. The late show is a corporate product, not an artistic one. He's at the helm, but it's less of a reflection of his personal ideas and more what his producers think the audience wants. You don't like it? Well...it has a huge audience...and you're not one of them. It's like Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, Guttfeld, the Critical Drinker Twat, etc. Their shows fucking suck and are shittily written...but they have their audiences and they love it.

Guttfeld was unwatchable to me...not because I was upset...but I was just fucking bored. I would probably enjoy well written comedy from an adversarial viewpoint....even if I think you're a shitty person, if you make me laugh...I'll have a guilty pleasure good time. But no, conservative comedy just sucks...it's boring as shit...poorly written, unimaginative...there's a FUCKTON of things to make fun of liberals about and conservatives typically suck at it. The South Park guys were decent at it for awhile...but regardless, the point stands. Gutfeld has his audience. I'm not one of them...he doesn't care what I think and he will tailor his writing to what he thinks his audience wants.

If we discover that he's a huge Miami Vice fan and wants to rewrite the series, I am confident it won't look like his Fox News show.

By your logic, there would be no new electronic music. You don't need an LLM to generate EDM from algorithms based on what clubbers respond to. We had the technology 30 years ago and yet it's a thriving genre. Time will tell, but I imagine the 2 biggest and most famous fans of Tolkein can best an LLM slopping together a story. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the LLM to help them or to judge their work. That would be a smart use of technology. However, the human touch and vision will be clear an apparent vs LLM sloppy shit.

Really, is an LLM to a writer any different than a drum machine to a drummer? We still prefer live drummers, even for electronic genres, to drum machines at live shows...yeah, some studio gigs are no longer there, but there are a lot of drummers working, despite being obsolete by your logic for over 30 years.

Are you really that clueless? Comedy is a profession and a day job for people like him. He's a devout Catholic and family man and none of his material suggests that...why?...because he's a fucking professional. He's writing jokes for his audience, not himself. Colbert is a very intelligent man with a huge passion for Tolkein and that universe. Historically, writing styles are not consistent between genres. Look at Jordan Peele. Key and Peele was a good sketch show. I enjoyed it, but not in my top 5...not even sure if it's my top 10 of the last 20 years, but his horror films were amazing and NOTHING like his sketch shows.

Colbert is a professional. He writes with that perspective because he thinks its funny and he has an audience that appreciates that. Look at Colbert report...a very sharp satire that was nothing like what you described. It just made fun of the ridiculousness of your politics, rather than really expressing much of its own view.

Shitty writers do what they know. You may disagree with Colbert's politics, but he's not a shitty writer. He will adapt to the project.

I am not much of a Tolkein fan...it's fine...not my top choice, but I always enjoy the movies. He is a HUGE fan. My guess is that he will apply every bit of intellect he has to replicate Tolkein and give the most Tolkein-ian experience and it will look nothing like his old work.

My prediction is Stephen Colbert's Lord of the Ring will reflect his perception of what his audience wants and what the spirit of Tolkein is and would never know he wrote it based on his past comedy work. Just like how Jordan Peele's comedy doesn't reflect his horror writing.

Legit theory, but we've already setup a decent blockade and you're also assuming this company can actually deliver. It's one thing to announce, it's quite another to deliver at scale. 2 years from now?...yeah, I can see this being a huge headache. Fortunately for us, I don't think China can get these into Iran's hands if they wanted to.

Additionally, I am not confident that China wants to arm Iran publicly. How much money does Iran have? How much will this risk their Taiwan plans? If I were in charge there, I would focus on selling to the USA's allies, like the gulf states...get that sweet, sweet revenue without the scrutiny. Not good for Israel as those nations won't need to ally with them as much as they do today...but it's a great way to build a market, look good, and hold off on antagonizing the west for a nation that has publicly stated they want to invade Taiwan and seems determined to do so.

For a civilized country (so excluding Russia who doesn't care about anyone's life), you probably want your adversary to have accuracy. If they're attacking your naval base in San Diego, you want it going near the naval base, not wandering into the civilian territory and bombing schools. Soldiers know how to handle attacks and typically have protocols for dealing with damages, putting out fires, evacuating the injured, etc. Daycares probably don't.

Honestly, I am more frightened of this than nuclear war. Once a power launches nukes, things escalate and escalate hard. Idiots can't handle nukes. No shitty nation like Russia or Iran will arm allied revolutionaries with nukes.

Cheap drones and missiles? They can do a lot of damage, are difficult to protect from....and yeah, these are cheap enough to arm other nations with....cheap enough to smuggle, etc.

Nations keep careful stock of their hypersonic missiles. Private companies?....not so confident they won't get a few stolen or sell to some nation who will use them to arm terrorists.

All my life, everyone has complained about the elite militaries. You think Israel and Russia and the USA are dangerous? Wait until you see the houthies waging warfare with the same gear? Soon every clueless hippie complaining about war will be longing for the day when warfare was confined to more responsible parties. As liberal as I am, recent events have made me much more aware...you can complain about the USA "military industrial complex", CIA, etc.... all you like and your complaints may even make sense in a vacuum. But now that under Trump, the USA is stepping back, you'll appreciate just how responsible we were...as other nations fill the role and you see...yeah...we did shitty things....but NOTHING compared to Russia, Iran, N Korea....hell, I'll wager that even as France and Britain ascend, they'll make us look quite good. To me complaining about the USA's military is like hearing someone complain about their iPhone when they've never used any other phone platform. If you're complaining about how Samsung does something better?...OK, legit complaint. If you're complaining that phones without cases break when you drop them on concrete from 5'?...well, you're a moron...unless an iPhone competitor somehow solves that problem...it's not an iPhone problem, it's a phone problem. Similarly...the USA did shitty things?...yeah....but nothing compared to any superpower in recorded history. Compared to our rivals, I think the USA looks quite saintly, especially our modern ones (the Soviet Union and Russia)

Fortnite is a great game. I've had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Given that you can play it and have fun for free....not sure why you'd complain about skins. That funds the development and building new maps. The maps are typically well thought out. The game performs really well across a lot of hardware. It's not my favorite game, but it's very good at what it does. It's a fun, family-friendly battle royale shooter that's free to fully play and caters to a younger audience.

If you're pissed at them, I wonder what you play that's so much better?...that runs on a Switch and iPad as well as the major consoles and PCs. Online Battle Royale is not my top choice of games to play, but if that's what you're in the mood for, I can't imagine a company doing much better than what epic has done.

Seems extreme to me as well, as Fortnite is a pretty simple game. However, I wonder how much time the fortnite devs were workion on UE5 and other investments?

What a moronic argument!!! Oooh, criminals are going to commit crimes? Anything that makes it easier to do something legally makes it easier to do something illegally. Cars make it easier to commit crimes. Gmail is used by CSAM peddlers far more often! The illegal stuff is a REALLY FUCKING TINY percentage of the revenue and when they catch it, they stop it.

You're clearly a fucked up individual with severe issues, but here's a news flash....only pedophiles like that shit and there's not many of them and they don't have a lot of money.

The market for legitimate content is easily 99.9% of their revenue. Kids are gross. Even without moral considerations...normal people don't want to jerk off to kids...maybe you're different, but normal people want fully grown women and men to jerk off to. Older women actually do better on OnlyFans than college-aged girls. The majority of the market, myself included, would rather jerk off to pics of attainable women we should be having sex with...rather than a barely legal chick. Most of us are self-aware enough to know that if a 21yo was fucking an old guy like me, everyone would think it was a gross shame and minor tragedy.

Older women actually tend to be better performers and have better business sense about marketing and more experienced at the game and knowing what their audience wants. The MILFs thrive much more so than young hotties.

But regardless, please fuck off and let us enjoy content legally and responsibly. If you don't like porn, don't watch it.

Good things I've never done anything I've regretted without OnlyFans. Good thing, EVERY job I've ever worked has been a great and smart decision.

Do you really believe your stupid argument? I'm not even a fan of OnlyFans, but I respect any performer that wants to earn some money on the side. Consider this. There are countless single mothers living in the middle of nowhere with money problems. Sure, for you, showing your tits to strangers may sound gross...but so is their daily job...is waiting tables at the local diner that dignified?

Is having to pick which bill to pay this month and which to not pay dignified?...having to guess if your heat or phone will get shut off sooner if you miss a payment? For some, a side hustle like this ensures they can pay their bills...gives them spending money for their kids. If I was a woman, I'd be happy to do pretty much anything on video if it meant my kids had a normal Christmas, normal clothes, whatever books they wanted to read, my bills were paid, my car was well-maintained, etc.

Cocaine's dangers are overstated, but definitely real. Honestly, cocaine is not even one of the most dangerous drugs you can take, but like all drugs, you really have to know what you're doing and proceed with caution, ideally with medical supervision. Masturbation, however, is fully harmless. Porn is fully harmless. Any arguments otherwise, unless you're referring to religious beliefs are disingenuous. You can wank to porn endlessly and end up physically healthier with minor cardio and a greatly reduced chance of prostate cancer. The worst you can say about porn is that if you get too into it, you waste time and money and think about it way too much....which LITERALLY APPLIES TO ANYTHING IN LIFE....any argument against porn?...applies to work, video games, cooking, sports, working out, spending time with friends, etc. ANYTHING CAN BE OVERDONE. There is a point where porn consumption gets excessive....but I can't think of any scenario that applies to porn that doesn't apply to working out or playing sports or anything else.

If people responsibly enjoying porn concerns you...I would suggest you seek a good therapist. You have some fucking issues (literally?). Seriously. Sex is good. Normal, healthy people enjoy sex. If you don't enjoy sex?...that's fine....but you're the abnormal one. How about you enjoy your asexual existence in peace and leave the rest of us alone....Don't push your moronic, fucked up, and dysfunctional ideals on the rest of us.

First of all, a platform that allows individuals to monetize their bodies on their own terms doesn't fit my definition of moral decay. It is probably the most empowering iteration of this profession we've had. I don't find showing your tits to strangers for money any more degrading than driving an Uber or working a fast food job. At least with this, they're in full control.

However, if you have an issue with women and men showing off their bodies to excite strangers?...well...fuck you...you're the moral decay. You're a cancer that I am glad is dying out.

Masturbation is good for you. Sex is good for you. Not everyone has valuable skills like I do...for them, a side hustle of showing their tits may mean the difference between ensuring their child has a nice Christmas and the things they need for school or not. No one forces them to do this and OnlyFans was the first major platform to let performers do things fully on their terms.

So you're not into sex?...fine...but that's your impairment. You are the issue, not the rest of society. Let us enjoy performer's bodies in peace...and let them monetize it how they see fit.

That would be an example of a legitimate criticism! :). I have a bit more faith in machine vision that you do, but yeah...it's probably not realistic to catch too much unless you have perfect lighting and multiple angles....so chances are your view is more likely than mine.

So why is he a moron? Perhaps you should put some effort into articulating your objections because they're not really obvious. I'll wager you're not a fitness expert or even in above-average shape if you're commenting like this. I honestly can't tell if you have a valid critique or not because you put no effort into explaining yourself before insulting the author.

As a fitness enthusiast myself, I'll guess you're out of shape and clueless....because such technology can really make a difference...if done well. It's just training AI to spot mediocre form is very difficult and requires a lot of effort and most in the fitness industry are either too dumb to do it...or are only after a quick buck (like the Peloton Guide). Maybe you're one of those fat fucks who hates yourself, but has strong opinions on why everyone else is stupid as well and you get joy from tearing them down?

Well...if it could, it would....so it's safe to conclude the technology just isn't there yet. Otherwise, instead of the news stories about endless pick and shovel vendors, it would be about how pioneering companies are relying on AI to move everything in-house, overhaul their legacy systems, etc....and consumers would see it as well. If AI really lived up to a fraction of the hype, you'd see a flood of amazing indie titles and mind-blowing remakes of classics...like Duke Nukem 3D and similar games rendered in the best UE5 has to offer....as well as people picking up old IPs and expanding them effortlessly....maybe get some new Bioshock levels and content?

Programming is easy, any moron can do that...designing software is hard! That's why programmers have jobs. Translating specs to Java, Rust or any other language?...very simple. 80s C.A.S.E. tools can do that. The "how" easy...the "what" (are you actually doing) is hard. Fixing all the errors in the spec, meeting with stakeholders to get clarity, and getting them to actually work in as secure and scalable manner?...that's about 95% of my job....1% is programming....4% is meetings and paperwork.
