Just a guy, doin' stuff.

  • A few of the more curious images Bing AI Image Generator came up with for movie posters for Titanic 2.

  • That one yielded some interesting results.

  • "Jurassic Park but the dinosaurs are replaced by giant angry guinea pigs"

  • The prompt was something like: "Jurassic Park but the dinosaurs are replaced with giant angry hamsters"

  • Oooo, a heist/thriller and a comedy take on the Titanic story to round out the trilogy.

  • Titanic 2: The Resinkening?

  • It does have a sequel and also a parallel tie-in movie in "Glass" (sequel) and "Split" (tie-in, also leads into Glass).

  • Why???

  • Totally get it. Hope you find something that works for you.

  • I dunno what to say. I have constant intrusive thoughts, an incessant inner monologue, constant over analysis, and have terrible dreams. All I can say is that I use oil or edibles every night and it helps me sleep and keeps the dreams to an absolute minimum. I don't use much, and I don't smoke, and I'm also in Canada and only use what I buy from legal shops.

  • Sorry, just got dig down through the plurality of negatives you just laid down there.

  • I mean the Tin-Man didn't have a heart and he wasn't a total ass. The literature is inconsistent in that area. We have to work with the metaphors we have at our disposal.

  • "For those who don’t know, New Year’s in Russia is like Christmas in the west."

    So you're saying Putin is the Grinch who stole New Years? That checks.

  • Why???

  • THC def better, but if I really need sleep the combo of the two is best. Just have to be careful with timing and amounts. THC keeps the dreams away.

  • When tech companies say they want to "democratize" they typically mean they are making a service more widely available to the consumer. The democracy bit is that the consumer "votes" with their wallet. A notable early adopter was Amazon, and I would hardly think that the public, today, see that organization as a paragon of virtue. So, in this sense of the word we're somewhat failing ourselves here.

    In the context you present, the companies themselves become little democracies internally. This sounds nice but would ultimately lead to chaos and ruin for those companies. I think this would lead to highly unstable, unprofitable businesses that no investor would ever give money to, or at least not expect any returns from.

    Furthermore, I don't necessarily think it would benefit the consumer in the end. Maybe the employees mostly vote to have a good solid ethical company, or maybe they vote in their own best interests to bring home higher wages and/or just keep their jobs safe. One could argue we just witnessed one such example of this with the recent OpenAI debacle with Sam Altman. Board fired him for potentially going against the stated charter of the company (one that has an ethical basis of essentially putting the security and well being of humanity above all else), at the risk of destroying an $87billion company, yet the employees staged a mutiny forcing the board to reinstate him.

    But I digress. At the end of the day I think the most we can ever really expect from companies is that they will, inevitably, find new and creative ways to extract ever increasing amounts of money from us, until such time that we simply cease giving it to them.

    Edit: spelling.

  • Going to have to say no. Not intentionally at least. Especially since I'm not sure what you're referring to. A quick search suggests a beach in Greece? I dunno, this is just what the AI spat out when I gave it "Cannibal frogs on vacation". I think it just butchered the spelling as it is often want to do.

  • Yeah, I know. Best I could do was ask for a vengeful looking celestial charlie chaplin.
