  • For the Magicians, the cause of the time loop was fucking hilarious.

    Spoiler below!!!

    The destruction of Earth lead to the breaking of a magic seal meant to hold an Eldritch being. Whales made this seal long ago, and whenever it breaks, it reverses time so that the breaking is undone. Whales are OP wizards.

  • "Waitformewaitforme... Where are we going???"

  • Personally I'd love to talk about what her hobbies were or simply how living would have been different. That setting though definitely makes for some interesting questions.

    She could have been insulated from the war or just tried to ignore it but it'd be neat to ask what the opinions in her community were about it (or her own!). Also what changed in her lifestyle as a result of the start of the war and the end of it.

  • It's neat that she was honest with you and didn't get mad for a silly mistake either.

  • It must have been awful discovering this.

  • I've only drank alcohol once and it wasn't enough to get drunk. Was one of those fancy drinks that had rum and vanilla(?), very sweet. Had to pace myself though because it kept burning my throat. Probably wasn't much since I never felt anything afterward.

  • Yeah I'd already been into sci-fi stuff and had been watching other Sy-Fy "horror" movies at the time. This episode really nailed the feeling though and lives rent free in my mind whenever the consequences of teleportation are brought up.

  • That image is just cracking me up for some reason.

  • This was actually the first ever Star Trek episode I'd seen and terrified me. Avoided the show(s) for a few years because of it.

  • The comedic bits were one of the few highlights for me in TLJ. Weird how positive you came out of it. RoS was one of the few movies I've watched where I dislike it during the middle of the runtime. I thought the online reception of it was exaggerated but I came out thinking "I get it now".

    Also, the plot points you mentioned I wanted to like when they were shown but they were always a let down. Like the Palpatine fight with the cultists watching was so thematic but the actual fight was so bad. The light saber toss with the psychic link was cool though (even if it did make my eyebrow raise out of my forehead in how odd the rules are for it).

  • Odd. What did you like about RoS? I barely remember anything good from it. Only forgettable movie.

  • Ooo, now this is a nuclear take.

  • TFA was the only good sequel movie. Shit was cool, don't care if derivative.

  • Just a few examples of my use cases but yes. It's an even quicker search engine.

  • I was in the same boat a while ago when I had to use React for remaking a UI (was reworking the whole backend). I've never tried writing something in JS/TS, so it was super helpful having Copilot guide my hand. Took me a day but had a beautiful little interactive window by the end of it!

  • I used the Bing AI (back when it was called that) to try to find a mall I went to many years ago. It was brand new and still had some parts being built so it looked very different to today, which made it difficult to find. Neither me nor my mother remembered the name or any stores, just the general area it was in. Took some time but the AI was able to discern what mall it was from the details I gave it.

    People have to view them less as general AI and more like search engines you can have a back and forth with.

  • Very wise. Terrifying to think an aerospace company would use AI.

  • Bit sad reading these comments. My life has measurably improved ever since I jumped on using AI.

    At first I just used it Copilot for helping me with my code. I like using a pretty archaic language and it kept trying to fed me C++ code. Had to link it the online reference and it surprisingly was able to adapt each time. Still gave a few errors here and there but good time saver and "someone" to "discuss" with.

    Over time it has become super good, especially with the VScode extension that autofills code. Instead of having to ask help from one of the couple hundred people experienced with the language, I can just ask Copilot if I can do X or Y, or for general advice when planning out how to implement something. Legitimately a great and powerful tool, so it shocks me that some people don't use it for programming (but I am pretty bad at coding too, so).

    I've also bit the bullet and used it for college work. At first it was just asking Gemini for refreshers on what X philosophical concept was, but it devolved into just asking for answers because that class was such a snooze I could not tolerate continuing to pay attention (and I went into this thinking I'd love the class!). Then I used it for my Geology class because I could not be assed to devote my time to that gen ed requirement. I can't bring myself to read about rocks and tectonic plates when I could just paste the question into Google and I get the right answer in seconds. At first I would meticulously check for sources to prevent mistakes from the AI buuuut I don't really need 100%... 85% is good enough and saves so much more time.

    A me 5 years younger would be disgusted at cheating but I'm paying thousands and thousands to pass these dumb roadblocks. I just want to learn about computers, man.

    Now I'd never use AI for writing my essays because I do enjoy writing them (investigating and drawing your own conclusions is fun!), but this economics class is making it so tempting. The shit that I give about economics is so infinitesimally small.

  • I know, just forgot how goofy they looked. That episode was a trip.
