No one at any point said not to be attracted to that person. But that doesn’t mean people (men or women) should be drooling rutting animals about it.

In the adult world that (most of us) should have left behind after our bar-hopping twenties, finding someone attractive can be done without eye-fucking them like a creep.

How the hell can his daughter even stand him? Isn’t Ivana HER mother?

It’s not a choice they are making

It is if they’re friggin’ adults. Despite the media, we’re not supposed to be just led around by our penis’; unable to avoid being distracted by bewbs.

That’s a cop out that guys use as an excuse to not evolve.

They’re ‘taking inspiration’ if you will, transforming it into something completely different.

That is not at all what takes place with A.I.

An A.I. doesn’t “learn” like a human does. It aggregates multiple chunks from multiple sources. It’s just really really tiny chunks so it’s hard to tell sometimes.

That’s why you can ask two AI’s to write a story based on the same prompt and some of their lines will be exactly the same. Because it’s not taking inspiration from, it’s literally copying bits and pieces of other works and it happens that they both chose that particular bit.

If you do that when writing a paper in university it’s called plagerism.

Get the fuck out of here with your “A.I. takes inspiration…” it copies nothing more. It doesn’t add anything new to the sum total of the creative zeitgeist because it’s just remixes of things that already exist.

On top of what everyone else has already said, I’d add that (for some reason) when it comes to Kevin Costner, movie-goers have long long memories about his “ego” projects like Waterworld and The Postman.

Costner went through a phase where he felt that he was big enough to direct, star, and write huge epic films because he was the “only one that could do them right”. And that flopped his career…hard.

He went on from there to do a lot of smaller stuff that was really well regarded. But now he comes back with this, basically another ego-project, because he’s convinced that Yellowstone has given him all of that old cred back. (It hasn’t)

Dude is just Neil Breen with a budget, and people are rightfully still skeptical of any so-called epic that is written, directed, and starring him.

In short, Costner’s epic movies have all pretty much been laughably bad with the exception of “Dances with Wolves”. And Pepperidge Farms remembers that kind of thing.

Came into the thread specifically for it and am appalled at how far down I had to scroll to find mention of it.

Such a great film that got sadly overshadowed by being released the same year as The Matrix.

I had switched to HeliBoard in order to de-Google as much as possible. I’m not militant about it, but if there’s an alternative I’ll take it.

Decided to try out FUTO because I felt like I was missing swipe typing. And it’s good. But for me it’s just too much. It turns out I didn’t really miss swipe typing, and (possibly just a me issue) that extra feature was making FUTO much less responsive than Heliboard. So back I went.

I guess for me, simple and fast is more important than replicating my old Gboard experience. But each person is different.

This thread took a strange direction…
