AI and ethics (or lack of)
But that's the problem, LLM's have no "general familiarity" with the field. They also don't have hallucinations. They can't think, they are not reasoning programs, they don't 'know' anything. It has a large data set that an complex program uses to try to determine what the most likely response is to what you are asking and provide it. I wouldn't trust it to do anything; the 'hallucinations' (which is part of the LLM industries attempts to sell their product as a thinking machine rather than admit that this is not 'true AI' as most laypeople would think an AI should be) is just its predictive model being wildly off base (or using incorrect answers scraped from the depths of Reddit) and outputting incorrect statements which, if taken as logical human style thinking, can have, and has had, disastrous outcomes.

Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
Saw Lee Cronin's The Mummy. It's okay, but feels overly tinkered with. Plot spoilers Also watched THE NIGHT OF BIG HEAT, a lesser variation on Planet Films earlier ISLAND OF TERROR. IOT is the stronger film. Most of the characters in HEAT are ciphers and/or jerks. And watcged BRAINSMASHER...A LOVE STORY a romantic comedy about a bouncer and a model falling in love over a night of running away from Chinese cultists who want a flower that will bring ultimate power but was found and is in the hands of the model's sister. So they will murder anyone in their way. Setup sounds a bit BUG TROULBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, but the film feels more like a companion piece to MYSTERY MEN with its over the top low level comic book heroics.

You could also get a mostly accurate result looking it up on Wikipedia, which would be almost as fast and would not require you to use the environment damaging plagiarism machine...

I'd give the monkey copyright (at least it did something for itself rather thsn steal the work of millions of people, reconstitute it and say "here's your slop") before I gave an LLM, the owner of the LLM, or the 'prompt artist' copyright. Also, from the article- There are far too many people who are anthropomorphizing these LLMs. It's unhealthy.

I think it looks pretty good, but then any version pf Street Fighter was probably going to be a bit goofy. It's been in development for awhile, so not sure it's a response specifically so much as another attempt to get a game franchise set up as a movie series like MK.

Ooookay...apologies in advance, because this is probably going to seem unnaturally harsh, but I wish people who claim to love artists would follow that supposed love into not supporting LLMs that steal their work with no compensation all so people can churn out slop that looks vaguely like their work, thus devaluing the work of the actual artist. Let's be clear, LLMs aren't AI as they don't 'know' or 'think' and they only exist throught theft of peoples' hard work. That's not getting into the environmental, electrical grid or quality of life if you live near one issues which are all significant. Right now, there is not, in my opinion, an ethical way to engage with these commercial LLMs.

Reminds me a bit of the Lilly Tomlin film "The Incredible Shrinking Woman": Thought this might be interesting:- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
Lucky Stiff (1988) dark comedy about a man (Joe Alesky) who, dumped at the altar, is convinced to take his honeymoon trip where he meets a woman (Donna Douglas) who is interested in him coming home with her to her family Christmas where they - as cannibals - plan to eat him. Directed by Anthony Perkins and Pat Proft was one of the writers. Not as funny or zany as it could be, but has its moments ("I knew where my rump was, but want sure about my chuck...") **** A couple of trailers i thought looked interesting:- New to OW2, frustrated by two things...desperate for clarity
