What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?
-
Alien, zombie, monster, catastrophe, etc movies and shows. Obviously not all of them, but the genre in general.
Many people complain these shows only work because the characters act stupid, and it's true.
BUT:
a) what's the alternative? Not having these shows at all?
b) People are stupid even without a catastrophe. What makes you think we suddenly all develop a brain when there's an alien invasion, or zombie outbreak? If Covid showed us anything, than that there's a very large part of the population who'd go out of their way to act against everyone's best interest.The argument that these people act too stupid has become irrelevant since we had a pandemic.

Sonic gets stuck in a washer machine.

What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?

I haven't seen it yet, what are the plot holes?

There was actually someone else in the replies with the same confusion lol You're not alone

I dunno, my experience is teams of people grinding away designing systems that are likely 95% the same as what several other companies already constructed, if not hundreds. It’s great if they use (much less contribute to) some open library for the functionality, so the wheel doesn’t get re-invented, but how often is that the case?
Of course one doesn’t want to distribute slop. I’m talking more theoretical, especially if more formal code verification becomes standard.
Mind you, a lot of this reimplementation is because those 1000 other implementations that came before all haven't had their source code released to the public. No amount of vibecoding is going to help there because those LLMs were never trained on code that was never publicly released.

Salami + chocolate is probably a dud, but fries and chocolate? Give it to me! Or maybe not, I'm trying to lose weight.
Even fries... Well, fries sounds alright, I guess it also depends on the fries.
Good luck on your weight loss!! I lost about 25 kg myself, relatively recently. You can do it!!!!

Man, it's not even that bad, but I've been trying to watch my calourie intake for months without success. Losing weight without any outside assistance is fucking hard ...

How am I going to move an ATV in a minivan or station wagon?
Sounds like a job for a trailer

A trick I used was to eat only a certain volume. I had this very reasonably-sized bowl and I'd fill it to the brim (exactly) with food and that would be my lunch for the day. I also always had the same breakfast: a mug of chocolate milk and an apple.
I cut out all snacks and such, and just tried to eat reasonably healthy foods like rice and tuna, and mashed potatoes with veggies, just random stuff that wasn't chips and gummies.
Yeah, it's hard, but you can definitely do it! If you need help and don't have anybody close willing and able to guide you, maybe you could look at getting a nutritionist? Not sure how available that is...

I haven't seen it yet, what are the plot holes?
The movie is about things going backwards in time. For example, there is a scene where there are bullet holes in a glass window. In a later action scene, these bullet holes are reverted by a gun going backwards in time. Turns out, these bullet holes were also going backwards in time.
This doesn’t make any sense, because the implication is that this glass window was installed with these bullet holes from the beginning.
There are more examples of similar paradoxes, so the recommendation is to not think about it too hard.
But it’s cool either way.

Wait but why would someone defend ai art...
Like the only reason I can think of is it maybe makes someone who is lazy feel good about themselves because they make a computer generated picture with zero effort (while stealing from real artists and feeding the megacorp machine) ?
Sorry, this is on the same level of saying "well they denied electricity at first and this is just like that!" Braindead take.
Carry on. (Yes im reinforcing your comment by even replying here, ha!!)
Wait but why would someone defend ai art...
For the same reason that we defended computer-aided art back in the day after people had the exact same reaction to it.

Ooops, fixed!

AI art (and AI in general). The amount of misinformed and outright wrong bullshit that gets levelled at me when I defend AI or point out something false is ludicrous. Almost every single argument against it was levelled at photography a century ago, much of that was levelled at pre-mixed paints before that, and what's left is either flat out wrong, or levelled at the wrong place
you’re gonna get endlessly downvoted here on lemmy for this but if it makes you feel any better i work in ML/AI and feel the same way as you and the other guy here comparing it to computerized art.
people are really anthropocentric, short-sighted, and reactionary.
i’m not convinced by weird capitalist myths of “originality” or “the human touch” or whatever weird fetishizing they wanna do…
all art is predicated on that which came before, human or not. AI art is no different. artists shouldn’t be subject to the economy in such a way that something like generative art inspires such societal rage… in china genAI is popular with the youth and generally bc artists and artisans in china aren’t exploited the way they are in the west and are free to view genAI as a tool rather than a threat. why western commission artists direct their anger and rage at the machines putting their oppression on full display and not towards their oppressors and handlers themselves fucking confounds me. maybe people really are just, on average, kind of dumb. i keep looking for alternatives but nothing ever shows itself.
