People are just discussing the pros and cons of technology in the Technology comm. Chill out.

It’s a reference to the popular TV show How I Met Your Mother

When I’m sad I just stop being sad and be awesome instead.

And one without wind, he couldn’t fly

Why would the camera man feel bad for someone else’s shit behaviour? This is probably their most memorable work now.

“I can’t possibly think of where this image, of a famous movie actor in a period costume, could have come from, therefore it’s AI”

LLMs can’t forget things because they are not capable of memory.

Interesting. Perhaps your original image stays behind as a dead body, and jacking in is a more ethereal connection. Or maybe it takes a while for the system to recognise your not in your pod and treats you as a natural death.

The mirror thing is exclusive to the Analyst’s version of the Matrix that we see in Resurrections. “Io” is their new home after Zion was destroyed. When I say “Red Pill” I’m taking about individuals that have woken up from the Matrix. People who refused the red pill are nicknamed Blue Pills for obvious reasons, and those that are unaware they are in the Matrix are referred to as Copper Tops.

I wasn’t referring to Neo’s experience of exiting the Matrix for the first time. I think there was an interview with one of the Wachowskis that implied the liquid mirror was just Neo’s reality bending experience. Other people may experience different types of hallucinations, and even other people in the room may not see what their hallucination is. They are probably just observed to fade out into code like when they use a telephone.

I find it interesting that the conversations here are mostly around misogyny and not the fact that the monster is a child murdering serial killer motivated only by cruelty.

People only argue that Frankenstein is the real monster because it sounded profound and contrarian, but now it’s the dollar store “I am very smart” opinion that’s been done to death. Frankenstein was a victim of his own flaws, but the fact that the monster decided to kill the innocent for the sake of inflicting suffering on him was not what he or the other victims deserved. It’s more an allegory of responsibility and consequences than a story about “the main character was actually the bad guy all along”. Side note, I recommend I Am Legend.

It is shown that the Red Pills of Io are able to use mirrors to not only enter and exit the Matrix, but also as fast travel portals between two locations inside the Matrix.

Also, the version of the Matrix we see in the original trilogy is perpetually set in the 90s. The phone are kept as part of the design because letting the Red Pills escape the Matrix helps the stability of the rest of the system. They are basically letting the people who resist exile themselves, and every now and then they roll out bug fixes to reduce the amount of outliers.

“wait, this doesn’t have lemon in it, does it?”

“… It’s lemon chicken”

Actually that was from Das Jesus Video (aka The Hunt for the Hidden Relic)

I don’t think you’ve thought through your question. The machine was open in both time periods. The machine was turned off after the information was given. There’s nothing more to happen.

I get what you’re trying to say, but it doesn’t really apply to the scenario you are describing.

I saw a better version of what you are attempting to present: a scientist has a button that transports an object back in time by 5 seconds. An apple is tested successfully, it appears 5 seconds before he pushes the button and when he pushes the button the original disappears. They try it with a live mouse but something goes wrong; when it appears it’s horribly disfigured and this scares the scientist who pulls away from pushing the button. The mouse has already appeared but he will not press the button. Now what happens?

This is the most level headed approach to IP I’ve seen. If you’re not willing to use the property you forfeit it. It’s a common contact for licensing rights for movies that forces a studio to make a movie or lose rights. That way people can’t squat on a licence to prevent others using it.

Because it’s a stepping stone in the learning. Using something like tailscale that just works allows you to develop skills with other software and workflows. Eventually you progress to harder things like hosting your own private VPN.

C-3PO had his memory wiped, but I don’t think R2D2 did. At one point George Lucas said that the whole saga was a story told by R2D2.

Regardless, why did so many characters that had personally worked alongside R2D2 act like it was just a random droid? Robo-racism?

There are no invalid locations in tic Tac toe, passing a turn provides no advantage, I suppose you could take extra turns to cheat.

Here’s just one breakdown I’ve found by googling. Some of these can be justified by making up theories of characters lying or making mistakes, others are clearly for the fact that they forgot details from the OT while they were writing the PT and contradicted themselves.

Potholes aside, my favourite dumb thing is that in the OT Obi-Wan was wearing farmers clothes to blend in, you can see uncle Owen wearing matching clothes. But the in PT that’s apparently the Jedi uniform. Not very smart to hide out in Tatooine wearing Jedi uniform, going by the name Kenobi, and looking after a kid called Skywalker. R2D2 didn’t think to mention Anakin to Luke? Or is Skywalker the “Smith” of that galaxy’s surnames?
