This is the most nominated movie of all time.
But it only won four, whereas One Battle After Another won six.
I guess Hollywood thinks celebrating far-left terrorism is worth more virtue signal points than muh racism.
B5 is a little special in that regard. The lead of S1 had to leave because of schizophrenia. Straczynski essentially retooled the whole series afterward. New lead with a new tone.
Then S5 is shit because they were expecting to be done after S4. Rushed the ending of S4 to wrap up all the point points and then had to pull another season out of his ass. Lost actors to contract stuff, etc.
That said, I personally think B5 is overhyped. I really like a lot of the characters, but the pacing was a mess and you could feel the production issues Then again, he was trying to do serialized TV in an episodic genre in the early 90s. It's great for what it was, when it was.
Target fixation.
Ask any motorcyclist. There can be a big open parking lot with a pole on it. You pay the pole attention because you realize it's an obstacle. Without deliberate input, you start steering at the pole. Unless you're paying attention (and have an IQ > 5), you just go wherever you're looking.
without some massive leaps in both infrastructure
In his scenario, we're rid of the lawyers, "NGOs," bankers, and judges who continually blockade American interests. An infrastructure and tech boom is a given.
The reason it's so hard to get anything built is the primary objective of the system is keeping lawyers employed.
It's not like it learned the wrong answer from a Reddit post and just posted what Reddit said
I have seen it do exactly that. Ask it a niche enough game question and you'll see it happen, especially if it's a tool that provides links to its claims. Someone makes a post with bad information, gets corrected in the comments, edits their post. But since an LLM is just looking at which words happen in which order.
You can always X after Y
Edit: I'm wrong. Sometimes you can't.
Still tells them LLM "can always X after Y." There's a much stronger relationship between the words in the original statement and it doesn't grasp the concept of a correction. Nor does it pick up on the strikeout markup.
That's why it excels at things that are well documented. Ask it about a function that's in a thousand tutorials and it will nicely distill the gist of the function and be fairly accurate. Ask it about something obscure only a handful of people have been guessing at, it hallucinates.
This was linked in the thread linked in OP. He seems alright, but occasionally old Reddit. If nothing else, he's 100% right about what happened to cosplay.

They'll never take down Valve. They will do two things:
- Try to steal money from the piggybank.
- Try to infiltrate and subvert it as a psyop platform.
Valve's potential utility as a weapon against young men is far far far too tempting for them to ever want it to actually close down.
I'm sure you realize this, but those game shows are organized so the network can trade exposure for viewers and get a free bump in viewership.
The only reason they pay the normal prize "to charity," in the first place is to white wash the whole thing is altruistic. They're not there to play for charity, they're not even there to play. They're there to advertise their brand.
In the clip in OP link, she doesn't immediately present as having an IQ that low. It's not Downs or something obvious like that. Interesting to think about actually. If someone's very weak cognitively, but can socialize normally, how long before people would catch on.
There's absolutely no excuse for the GPA though. I know GPA has been meaningless for at least 15-20 years, but this is just absurd.
It's not what one thinks of as a real vocational program.
Now, the family pays $43,000 in overall expenses per year for Simonsen to attend Bellevue College’s Occupational & Life Skills program, which helps students transition to the workforce and independent living. Without a high school diploma, she could have attended a nearly identical program for free through the Edmonds School District.
It's a program specifically for mentally disabled people to be somewhat functional. "Overall expenses," is probably including housing, food, etc. I guarantee you they're inflating the number as much as possible because they're seeking damages.
Edit: School's site quotes $45.6k for the full 4 years, so 70% of that $160k figure is playing with what they can call "student debt."
I'd assumed that it was dyslexia and limited to just reading and misleading article but...
Simonsen has an unspecified neurodevelopmental disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. Her IQ is 67, which is in the first percentile and qualifies as an intellectual disability, according to neuropsychological testing she received in 2021. Despite earning a 3.87 GPA in high school, she was performing at a first-grade reading level her senior year, according to standardized testing results.
Simonsen said she completed nearly all of her school work with significant help from her family and peers. In some classes, teachers would give her an A without testing her on key concepts, she said.
In one math class, students were tasked with working the cash register at the student store. But Simonsen has trouble with cash transactions, and she doesn’t know how many quarters, nickels or dimes make up a dollar. Instead, the teacher had Simonsen warm up corn dogs and make Italian sodas for the other students, the complaint alleges.
In biology, students mostly worked in groups, Simonsen said. While her peers described the inner workings of cells, Simonsen was responsible for drawing pictures and gathering online images, she said.

In very reductive terms, Catholics drink the blood and eat the body of a man who died in an act of sacrifice.
Plenty of those ancient themes are still present in Christianity in some form. The important part was the shift of from the sacrifice of the other to self-sacrifice.
It's a third-party marketing firm trying to use the Oscars to raise the profile of their customers. Also, Sean Penn didn't attend so it's not contingent on attendance.
