that's the impression I got from the trailers… thanks for confirming

Disney killed all the love I had for Star Wars... I literally have "free" (i.e. already paid for via monthly subscription) tickets and I still chose not to go

I read a couple of news articles about it today, I have not yet watched the video but in general I think this sucks.

It seems nothing but the continuation of what the AI tech bros want:

  • Push it down everybody's throat

  • Spend tons of money on it hoping for the best without evidence of actual improvement via its adoption

  • More money going to the USA

There are dozens of us! hahahaha

I have not brought myself to see the 2 sequels yet. Mostly because I forget and my window of to watch "probably bad but I kind of like it" movies is narrow

Sorry but I don't understand your initial point.

How is it "great for your job" but you can't use it because it is usually wrong. How is it great then?

I also fail to understand your final point:

Hopefully AI stifles the large companies that need stifling. That would level the playing field and help the rest of us get an edge.

AI is entirely driven by the "large companies that need stifling" so using AI will, in no way, level any playing field

low budget, poorly acted, really interesting premise if you like sci-fi, post apocalyptic scenarios and or "weird" stuff

PS: I did like it

That scene from ATLAB was so powerful!

It would be if it worked well enough to actually be widely adopted... as it is, it will still be the end of the world as it will destroy the world's economy when the bubble pops (or the actual physical world if the bubble takes too long to pop)

this beats the Tucker's ball tanning thing in all homoerotic categories

That is a nice thought/expectation/wishful thinking... but seeing L.A. on track to chose a deeply shitty reality tv scumbag as Mayor, I am doubting Texans will do anything to help themselves

 

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe

 

"Unexpectedly"... who would have thought that taking a chainsaw to all establish trade could be an issue?!
