For AI defenders, AI exists in a superposition where it is both not actually supposed to be that useful, and extraordinarily useful for everything except a task in which it is shown to fail - whichever is best invoked to dodge criticism towards it.

Starting my new service, Chat BLT. I make a tasty sandwich while telling all A.I. users to go fuck themselves.

Dumbest of all faiths, where nobody reads their holy book & just misquotes bad translations instead, and you can join it without any effort.

When windows get broken support for protestors dries up pretty quickly from certain quarters. That introduces an incentive for the cops to break windows and claim the protestors did it. This has happened many times.

The news media have been doing this for years in Northern Ireland. After the ceasefires there would be literally one or two streets where the cops would block in the rioters, same time every year. The breathless reporters with bump caps made it look like the whole country was burning to the ground.

No amount of OTT Hans Zimmer music can shake the feeling that they're turning the camera sideways like they did on the old Batman show.
This is quite bad. It'll fit right in among our collection.

"This looks nothing like K2."
"They're nowhere near the death zone."
"I think there's something wrong with this documentary."
Fuck, I'm so I'm love.

I know these characters are supposed to be pricks, but... wow
In real life the porters are badass professionals. There's really no reason for this storyline other than the writer being a dick.

Dyatlov Pass Incident.
Trashy, hilarious, brilliant.
THAT ENDING.
Loved it. Just end to end exposition nonsense. X-Files in an avalanche.
