I'm glad you came to the conclusion that good literature can sometimes predict change and offer insightful social commentary, which (as I recall) is a different attitude towards the topic from the one you had 2 years ago in a conversation we had.


So I got bored and asked AI if capitalism and mega corporation in fictions are portrayed in a realistic way, and AI said something similar to "yes and no" then listed a bunch of similarities and differences between rl and fictions.

AI also agreed that capitalism and mega corporation in fictions is often presented in an exaggerated way for entertainment purposes.

See! Even AI "gets" what I was trying to say about fictions!

<3 AI. AI is smart ;)

Going back from boxing practice with my 6 y/o nephew
He takes a look at my kindle and opens it:
-"Does this thing not have dark mode in it?"
-"It does have 'night mode' which is kinda similar"
-"Then why isn't it on?"
-"You see, I do have it on everywhere else (PC, mobile etc)" then I talked about nightmode a bit.

My little man is going elitist on me at 6 year. I'm proud of him. Can't imagine what he's gonna call me out for regarding my tech usage when we're both 10 years older.

I am pretty sure you misunderstood my point back then. My opinion on literature in our society has always been the same, and I was a huge fan of Blade Runner movie x2 and PKD for the same reason wayyyyyyyyyyy before 2023. So the timing isn't even correct if I changed my opinion about them in the past 2 years.
No, I know you were at least familiar with Blade Runner (not sure about being a big fan) because you specifically brought it up (and 1984) in that exact conversation about esteemed scientist-thinker-novelist predictions & social commentary, but I won't get into specifics here. The discussion is still there for you to look at again if you want.

Afania said: »
my personal political stance being different from PKD doesn't affect how I appreciate literature at all
I agree with you on this, but this was not the topic.

"it's not black and white" was my position on the topic back then :)

Doing research on writing technique application is "work" too ;) I just need to know if my understanding of writing technique application is correct!

Nynja, it's not quite creative to use the same meme multiple times.

Maybe you could consider using AI to generate more diverse meme for forum posts!

He doesnt look stressed, but I guess being wheelchair bound is a bigger problem to this fine gentleman compared to Afania asking AI stupid questions.

your avatar reminded me of this.

I've been watching dexter over again since its been years, to see what I missed the first time long ago and on season 2 I am shocked how poorly Dexter handles the realization that algae will lead back to him

Like the second he said "they will trace the rocks I used back to my marina for sure" why didnt he instantly start planning to move his boat pre-emptively so they cant see him doing anything with it etc

He could have easily slightly vandalized the marina pretending to be drunk rowdy teens or something, and then documented his "concern" and moved his boat elsewhere. That way if they eventually do ask anything he can say "they notified us of break ins there so I ended up moved my boat a couple weeks ago since security was so lax" if they ask him, and they will instantly be like "yeah we saw the marina the security sucked ***, good call"

Yes. ;)

I see a couple of close to good smoking meme entries, but it's only close to good.

Keep it up! You are almost getting to the creativity singularity! Maybe AI could help! ;D

(Open AI really should have hire me as their AI service sales person, I feel I am getting quite good at promoting AI on the internet. ;D)

I didn't ask THAT kind of zero IQ question lol. Me and AI had an in-depth philosophical conversation about capitalism and their relationship in the society, as well as several literature examples illustrating them.

The reason why I went to AI for it because most of the human being are incapable of having multi-disciplinary discussions with large amount of data and examples to back it up. Most humans excels at a few disciplines and that's it.

AI is just inherently better than human for this kind of things due to larger data pool than human can ever obtained.

Don't be jealous of AI, Nynja.

This one is also quite close, maybe Nynja has some potential on diversifying smoking memes!
