This is a disaster for the human race and I’ve really lost patience with the useless morons who can’t see that. An AI video chat that passes for human has no necessary legitimate applications. It will be used to scam old people out of their life savings. Lonely, mentally vulnerable people are going to form romantic attachments to people who aren’t real. Isolation will increase. Mental illness will skyrocket even more than it already has. Kids in grade school will have AI boyfriends and girlfriends. All of this will happen. And worse things we can’t even conceive at this point. People are already forming unhealthy emotional attachments to text-based LLMs. Once there’s an audio and visual component, it’s over. Millions of brains will be broken irreparably.
The benefits of this technology, whatever they are exactly, are so vastly outweighed by the societal catastrophe it will cause, and is already causing, that you can’t even measure the two categories on the same scale. But at least this is the best thing that ever happened to third world scammers. So if you’re in that community, congratulations.
Psychotic people follow scripts.
Let's talk about the glass delusion, the Middle Ages' bout with a mass psychogenic illness marked by people believing they were made of glass.

Recently rewatched Michael Mann's Heat in preparation for Mann's upcoming release, and god damn this film holds up. Heat is throwback, old school filmmaking. Consider what makes this film iconic: the dark shots of LA & the fact that not a single set was built in the making of this film. The authentic sounds of gunfire in captured by shooting fully loaded blanks. Val Kilmer's unforgettably intense performance. And Pacino & De Niro at the absolute height of their powers. When you take all of the above into consideration, it's no mystery that Heat has influenced countless films over the last 30 years- from The Town to Inside Job to The Dark Knight. For our money, Heat stands alone as the greatest heist movie ever made- including the greatest bank robbery scene in Cinema history. With Ferrari coming December 25th, there's never been a better time to give Heat another watch. After all, the action is the juice.
