Quote from: kitler53 on Dec 20, 2025, 02:57 PMI heard as much for the black Friday deals.  but is it sustained?

Hard to say tbh.

I know a few who have bought it purely for GTA 6 and EA FC 26. Some don't even intend using it much till GTA 6 but the deals were too good to pass up.

It's hard to have any kind of nuanced conversation about AI.

A lot of people love it with a passion, a lot of people hate it with a passion. I just saw someone compare finding out something was made by AI, with the same distaste as finding out their fries were made with an orphan. 

And a lot of the people who hate AI with a passion, also often believe that AI will never be good. That feels particularly bizarre to me, because it feels like that undercuts their concerns. If AI is never going to be good, then that undercuts how much AI can actually replace. I also think it makes it harder to convince people of concerns, if you're just throwing out these kind of extremely over the top statements. 

It's hard to get someone to believe that AI is garbage at everything, when someone else is using it successfully. 


But on that note, I don't the current AI is good enough to do a lot of what people are asking for. I think we're going to see a market correction.  It's not worth the multi trillion dollar investment that companies want it to be.

Quote from: Legend on Dec 22, 2025, 06:33 AMWell they've said chris evans and rdj were out but that didn't last.
They are the moneymakers though so not surprising considering how badly the MCU has been doing

I hope they can really balance some of the new stuff they have been doing with whatever they have planned for Doomsday, Secret Wars, and beyond. Cause I've liked quite a bit of some of the new stuff, but it just never felt as good as the pre Endgame MCU.

Quote from: nnodley on Dec 22, 2025, 03:12 AMPretty sure they've said black widow is dead dead. At least the one we know.  But could easily just bring back a black widow that's pretty much the same pretty easily

The Chris Evan's cap movies were my favorites of the early MCU so I'm happy if he comes back for more
