If you actually believe any of that, then you really are insane. Not just internet "insane", but really and truly detached from reality.

I mean, what would it be?

Why would anyone listen to a buffoon who speaks like this?

"The fact that certain organisms are able to adapt just because of genetics that are already present..."

That's literally what genetics is. And did the scarlet monkeyflower adapter "just because" of genetics?

"It suggests that some species may be able to evolve quickly enough to keep up with the accelerating consequences of human-caused warming — essentially saving themselves from extinction."

That's what evolution is, the only question is how rapidly it occurs. Rapid evolution isn't a new discovery. Seriously, why bother with this stooge?

"CAD didn't increase "productivity", it increased quality of designs"

Increasing the quality of work IS increasing productivity. You could have just as easily said that making "less of them" was a choice to reduce productivity demand and that CAD removed the need for that.

It sucks!

(starts to suck less)

It's too expensive!

"Dude, it's $20/month"

Well ... it's going to be too expensive!

"that only a sufficiently educated and credentialled person could possibly overlook."

that's a funny self-own if I've ever read one

Wow man, so you're like saying .. there's some kind of ... cost/benefit analysis that can be done? Whoa dude. You should write some kind of like, business book, or something.

why don't you take the 2 seconds it would take to find out

What are you talking about? It does that kind of thing _now_.

So? How much single threaded rendering does anyone actually do?

I understand why in some cases single threaded performance is important, but not for the vast majority of use cases.

Realistically, the home experience has just gotten too good these days to bother going to the theater. I'm 44 - when I was a kid a 25" TV screen was huge. When I was in college I took some extra financial aid refund money and bought a 32" CRT television for our room and everyone felt like that TV was comically large. Our dorm room was the place everyone came to watch TV because we had "the big TV".

Now 32" is tiny, and adjusted for inflation I can get an 85" TV for almost half of what I paid for that TV. For $150-200 you can add in a soundbar with a decent subwoofer and have damned good home audio. The TV's are also laid out in a better aspect ratio compared to film so letterboxing isn't as extreme, and the resolution is through the roof compared to old NTSC.

Realistically while at home viewing used to be a pale imitation of the quality you got at a theater, these days the home experience is on par, and you don't have to worry about other people talking or ruining the movie. A bag of popcorn at home is $0.45.

Its just a better experience at home.

I think we really need some type of granular filter.

An AI thumbnail or a few seconds of AI generated content I don't care about in a video, as long as the video is MOSTLY a real manual production.

The videos where the animations, voiceover, and even the script is all clearly AI though, those are the ones where I want to skip it entirely.

Like if this video is more than 30% AI, then I would prefer it be culled from my feed.

Love that. So true!

I work for a Microsoft shop and use Copilot a lot. When I have a hard question, I use Claude Opus, otherwise ChatGPT is fine.
