@ut3usw @poleguy Complete with 80s scifi background noise! Makes me wonder if some of those old movies weren't far away from what you are doing with their FX departments building the prop-items.

@randahl @elCelio I respect your position, but I suspect a deeper anaysis would reveal that the incentives favour a total pivot to generative AI content, and I fear the tipping point is far closer than we think. I am terribly ignorant, tho wide strokes and public information appear to paint a picture of current and past media harvest to supplant with purchased narrative and low-risk scam. It's burning hot at both ends of the fuze. Not enuf room to expound upon, thank goodness, eh?

@cmconseils My coworker said it costs a bunch of money to get ready for a date (clothes, hair and skin product, makeup, etc.) and all the gal gets is a cheap meal. She said bad deal.

@cmconseils Woah, slow down. That means, like, you first have to ask someone to go on a date? You're like Ursain Bolt here and I'm already feeling nauseous doing the leg-stretching.
