But movie theatres are no longer the only way to enjoy the latest films.

That’s what it offered before, if a movie was coming out, you had no choice to either go to theatre or wait like a few years until you could rent or buy the VHS/DVD.

Theatres need to offer something else now. IMO their best chance is to become “the third place” for teenagers. They can have free hang out areas with affordable snacks that you can also see a movie there later.

But we all know they won’t cause their main motive is money.

And yeah, if you only care about money, there isn’t much to be made anymore for offering a big screen in this digital world.

A post about technology on the technology community?

What year is this?

Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.

I didn’t realize we expected Oscar winners to make profitable movies.

I always thought they were different lanes.

I also like to see this analysis for 20 years ago before people went to the movies less and less.

Feel like Tarantino should be mentioned as he started his career with more niche and artsy films whereas his later works have been big blockbusters while keeping a high level of quality.

No one is pointing out that this was inevitable result of having more options.

When I was a kid, sure we had TV and video games, but they weren’t much. There was no big library, all the better graphics games were recent, and realistically you got a few games a year.

Me and my friends went to the movies cause there honestly wasn’t much better things to do. Having a home theatre meant having a tiny screen and a handful of movies you’ve seen many times if you happen to have a VCR. TV reruns were super old and had 5 mins of ads every 15 mins.

Did they really expect teenagers to be desperate to see a new flic when it’s no longer the only way to see new content?

Such a revealing list, a lot of, ohhh, that’s why they acted in that one.

Looking at you terminator 3

I think I’m GTA they swear when they hit other cars while driving, but that’s more like road rage I guess

It’s like your house’s smell, your used to it but everyone else notices it

The biggest problem with AI is that it’s the brut force solution to complex problems.

Instead of trying to figure out what’s the most power efficient algorithm to do artificial analysis, they just threw more data and power at it.

Besides the fact of how often it’s wrong, by definition, it won’t ever be as accurate nor efficient as doing actual thinking.

It’s the solution you come up with the last day before the project is due cause you know it will technically pass and you’ll get a C.

At least VR does what it promised, unlike crypto and AI.

I also think there are economic reasons, we don’t live during a time when people can buy expensive toys.

Steam deck was a hit because it was economical, just $500 and have access to a whole PC.

Lots of good gems, this one got me:

1980 - Alan Kay creates Smalltalk and invents the term “object oriented.” When asked what that means he replies, “Smalltalk programs are just objects.” When asked what objects are made of he replies, “objects.” When asked again he says “look, it’s all objects all the way down. Until you reach turtles.”

Tbf, some of it would be broken down and dealt with by fungus, there are some that can eat through some plastics.

So not necessarily a person

You have no idea how much I want to have this conversation.

I was told our rights to travel or go outside won’t return.

I was told that I would be immune compromised for taking an experimental vaccine.

Can we now get everyone to admit some people were very wrong during COVID?

What’s ironic is that he is a good actor, just sometimes picks the wrong role.

Looking at you lex Luther

Is it because the AI has to avoid certain topics?

“It’s not our fault our AI sucks, you made the poor thing quit”

I’ll take some of that special rights and privileges without being part of EU as well.

TLDR: the first five weeks of 4000 series didn’t have 4080 yet and that’s what they are comparing it to.

Yes, but:

I have Immich that has AI searching for my photos. Pretty useful for finding stuff actually

Just one step closer to:
