I too sometimes check the time to see if it is realistic, since the only character with a real chance of surviving underwater is Guybrush Threepwood. It kind of looks implausible in every action movie, though

Goddamn it, you’re only telling us now??? 😁

Right now I’m not sure this is my favorite because it’s late and I am not thinking clearly, but I’ve watched Data in command countless times, so it’s certainly one of my favorites

Part 1 in HD

Part 2 in HD

This is stunning!

It’s also an incredibly curious phenomenon that if you turn your camera just a few degrees you get an entirely different picture of Saitama 😁

Probably Nolan’s explanation that he could make it is in her words because she told Bane she wanted him to survive a bit longer.

I don’t even want to imagine the kind of pain you get from being stabbed, but I know I sliced my index finger this year while cutting bread and it was an immense pain (for a short time)

You’re right and I know it’s fiction and not realistic, but since we’re shown he’s suffering while she stabs him, it still bugged me because I imagined him bleeding all the way

That’s a unique point of view, thanks!

You also just unlocked a memory of mine: a close friend’s mom once got stabbed close to the heart by a mugger. She went back home and drove herself to the hospital and the nurse was shocked since she couldn’t understand how my friend’s mom made it in her condition.

I guess sheer determination can do miracles!

Well, it is a meme kind of thing in the How It Should Have Ended YouTube channel and often given as an explanation that he can do anything he wants (putting him on par with Superman). Here’s a post about this

This is disturbingly accurate

Cameras with stronger security will become more and more important, though on a theoretical level, they could be cracked or forged, but I suppose it’s the usual cat and mouse game

True, sooner or later there might be ways to make sure that a picture or video are digitally signed and probably it would be very hard to crack, but theoretically a fake video might still pass for real (though it would require a lot of resources to make that happen)

Right, but anyone would like to not be in a video implying them in a crime, but I was wondering what would happen if fake videos of said person were to appear implicating a crime that actually did not take place

… And also Eternity is uber cool!

I’m always amazed how this gibberish song managed to become popular outside of Italy and, aided by memes and frequent resharing, still being known today!

Crap, every day I see signs of how AI is polluting reality, when it could and should only be used to improve humanity.

Also, I’m starting to believe AI is effectively going to destroy or resize several jobs. For example, a friend of mine told me it asked ChatGPT to write several lines of code and it did so, maybe 85% correctly. He went through the whole code and could find mistakes and correct them. Anyhow, long story short, it would have taken his a lot of time to write them himself.

Brouhaha is its twin brother!

Wait, if you can (or anyone else chipping in), please elaborate on something you’ve written.

When you say

That means they can engineer a solution to any problem that has already been solved millions of times already.

Hasn’t Google already made advances through its Alpha Geometry AI?? Admittedly, that’s a geometry setting which may be easier to code than other parts of Math and there isn’t yet a clear indication AI will ever be able to reach a certain level of creativity that the human mind has, but at the same time it might get there by sheer volume of attempts.

Isn’t this still engineering a solution? Sometimes even researchers reach new results by having a machine verify many cases (see the proof of the Four Color Theorem). It’s true that in the Four Color Theorem researchers narrowed down the cases to try, but maybe a similar narrowing could be done by an AI (sooner or later)?

I don’t know what I’m talking about, so I should shut up, but I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable will correct me, since I’m curious about this

I want to slightly hijack your comment to say how innovative lots of these services were when they showed up and how they all ultimately managed to become a corporate machine crapping on both customers and intermediaries.

I mean that, when they arrived, Uber, AirBnB, Glovo/Deliveroo/Just Eat/DoorDash all brought something new and potentially useful and parallel to existing structures (involving regular people on the ground which, theoretically, can make an extra buck), but then… They all went down the toilet (I suppose since they were all losing money at the beginning to establish themselves, they had to find some way to make money, but they all irreparably chose enshittifcation)
