I don't think lack of originality is the main issue. The earlier phases of the MCU were pretty well received and most of them weren't particularly innovative in plot structure.
More recent iterations are making less money so following the established formula isn't helping with the general audience.

A decade ago I thought Disney was going to monopolize popular culture by buying up all the major franchises like collecting the infinity stones.
But now all they seem to produce is the narrative equivalent of pink slime that just gives everyone fatigue.

If they write a script for searching and trying to solve mathematical problems, they should call it Math Daemon.

will it run off after a rabbit and give you an hour of exercise? Get a real dog people! They clean up all the food you drop. Help you remember countless things, like, what food they can and cannot eat. How much you should feed them. They get you out for walks, see nature, keep your vitamin D dosage up. They help you socialize with other people that have dogs and give you something to talk about instead of awkwardly avoiding politics and just talking about the weather. For bonus points you can get a proper hunting dog and really have fun.

You can read other formats directly by running KOReader on a jailbroken Kindle.

If I remember correctly, Blizzard games like Starcraft originally did the actual multiplayer game state synchronization as direct communication between the players, Battle.Net just did the matchmaking and chat which is pretty low bandwidth.
Maybe they can rewrite their netcode to be more like that.

Such as freetaxusa. Search around. Turbotax is so lame and overpriced. Rant: we should just have some basic withholding percentage, tariffs, and then a similar basic flat percentage from all corporate revenue. No funny deductions, no net profit games, just revenue almost like a federal sales tax. IMHO if these were some reasonable level it'd be fine, we could then fund the rest on deficit spending (like we're so prone to do anyways.)

I put one camera up(not ring and locked down) because my 80 year old neighbor was snooping. I got video of her walking onto our porch staring through the windows and trying the door she then step off the porch without a step and walked away. She can barely walk if she took that big step down onto soft garden dirt and fell her head would have bounced off brick walkway.

  I have since put up two more cameras to cover the doors of my home as I also had footage of her walking around our backyard when we were not home.

Going into your neighbors property especially without fences is okay if you are retrieving something, walking to a specific point etc. if a fence goes up thatâ(TM)s different.

I already blocked updates and managed to stop the update nagging after the AI features were announced, I'm not undoing that.

I look forward to the end game where we have no taxes. No corporate taxes. After all they just pass it on to consumers. No income taxes. Just pay for it on import tariffs. Skip that too, why not? We already run a large deficit. All the spending sits on the ever expanding national debt. Now no one has a say except those who sit on massive piles of cash that faces risks of devaluation. Sounds awesome. Even foreign holders of cash/debt. They matter more than the citizens after all. Power to the powerful!! After all, they're already in charge.

In 1940 the world had a population about 2.3 billion

It is currently about 8.3 billion. In less than a century we tripled the planetary population.

Even if every country has a 3 decades of negative growth it will be 60 years before we drop below 7 billion people.

Or three times the population we had in 1940
The rapidly rising population is what drove the growth of everything. A slowly declining population will drag everyone down for decades

LLMâ(TM)s have legitimate useful business cases that can save employees hours.

Guess where LLM isnâ(TM)t being applied rapidly?

An LLM tha can scan a pdf and then either create database entries or an importable file that creates the database entries would save workers hours a week.

  Think scan a pdf and import it into the ERP software database. Think scan a packing slip or order acknowledgement pdf and import it.

It isnâ(TM)t sexy it isnâ(TM)t ground breaking it can save small busineesss. 10-120 hours a week. And now it is like $0.30 a page. When it needs to be $.003 a page.

Also it isnâ(TM)t really ai yet. AI is coming these might lead to limited pseudo intellect but ant colonies and ravens have better problem solving skills

Llm only works when someone else has given the answer or at least parts of it.

What a travesty! What a waste! Hippy nonsense! Do you realize how insane your comment is? Of course, water should reach the sea. Water should replenish aquifers. We should be careful when choosing what and how to dry land farm and what to irrigate. But we aren't, humans are wasteful and greedy.

I really enjoy my E-ink-based reader (jailbroken Kindle Oasis).
It's pretty close to printed paper with the option to use a front-light.
It has about the same weight or lighter than a mass market paperback so I can hold it comfortably in one hand.
It has physical buttons to flip pages so I don't have to screw around with touch gestures and just leave my thumb on the next page button, more convenient than turning physical pages.
I can essentially take as many books as I want with me in one small package.
I can use the dictionary function to look up terms I'm not familiar with.
And there's a display for how many pages are left in the chapter so I know how long I have until I can take a break or go to sleep.

Sure, but then you have to explain that fact in case people don't know, which takes longer.
