Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The problem with Disney live action remakes is they're trying to appeal to a younger audience. If Cameron Diaz can't be Cinderella, what's the point?1·4 days agoThat is part of the motivation. They are a media company and need to keep releasing anything they can to make more money. They are seemingly unable to come up with fresh IP at an acceptable pace, so they just shit out live actions and sequels that are just financial black holes.

If Cameron Diaz can't be Cinderella, what's the point?53·4 days agoThey are making movies to cater to a zeitgeist curated by a vocal minority via censorship, harassment, and emotional manipulation.
If they stayed true to the source material for live action or CGI remake, they would do fine. What they have been making is live action reimagining through a minority contempory lens that alienates the majority of their fanbase.
The worst part of their new direction is the pandering. Don’t just make an established character that was white a minority or alter the story to conform to some new philosophy, that is just lazy and everybody sees it. They need to come up with new stories with new new characters from a marginalized minority, like Moana or Lilo and Stitch. Nobody will honestly care about seeing a world through a minority charactersls view. Viewers didn’t care with Pocahontas or Mulan because they were an honest attempt at making an origional and good movie that happens to feature an American minority.
Don’t make Cinderella black, make an original story about a black character like Black Panther. Don’t make an empowered feminist, make an empowered feminist and tell her origional story like Mulan. Tell us new stories and make them appealing because they are interesting.
Also don’t beat a dead horse with a sequel that can never be as good as the first one because their story is told and trying to capitalize with “but wait, there’s more” after the book is closed.
They are going after low-hanging fruit one person asked for and wonder why few are satisfied.

It would sound like a fart, coming from everybody around you as they shit themselves.

The problem with current autonomous driving is the car can only infer what other cars are doing and what is around it, especially if we are talking about an autonomous car with idiotic vision mapping without lidar.
With a flying car that is directed by an AI that knows where every other flying object is, what every flying object is going to do, and the locations of every stationary object based on maps and lidar on the vehicle, you can keep collisions far less likely. Taking the human control out of the picture improves the conditions substantially.
I wouldn’t trust a flying car at all, but I would trust an autonomous one with AI ATC far more than an autonomous car going through a construction zone on a highway in a major city during rush hour.
A lot of people can pass a background check that you wouldn’t want to escort your daughter.
Whatever the brown note is.

You could maybe have one big enough for working on the patient, but with a shorter range, with the only advantage over a helicopter being a smaller area needed to land.
I think it will be a Segway of the air, meaning only “rich” douchbags and sightseeing companies use them in America until enough people die. Opulent presenting countries will use them for headlines like Dubai and SE Asian countries will have them for the police tactical units.

They also need to establish travel corridors for commercial drones and flying cars. Delivery drones and flying cars without corridors just means debris fields.
The alternative is autonomous AI trafficked flying cars that is networked with all commercial drone traffic, but that is 5-10 years away from being reliable and possible.
Regardless, the big issue is safety, a helicopter can land without the engine running. A flying car can also land without power, but not as softly and with less survivability.
Battery terminal/lug cleaner, if you’re brave enough.
They also are the dumbest generation with a COVID education handicap and the least technological literacy in terms of mechanics comprehension. They have grown up with technology that is refined enough to not need to learn troubleshooting skills past “reboot it”.
How they don’t understand that a LLM can’t be conscious is not surprising. LLMs are a neat trick, but far from anything close to consciousness or intelligence.
