They call it a mine. A mine!

Can you imagine the fallout if Obama had done anything like this?

In the US the production schedules have been impacted significantly by the unions. This is not a bad thing. Syndicated TV shows used to run absolute hell production schedules. The actors, stage crews and editing teams were basically being worked to death to get a new episode out every week.

Also, audience expectations have gotten a lot higher. The production quality on Strange New Worlds is better than a lot of movies I've seen. It looks good, it sounds good, it's well choreographed, it's well shot. Costumes, makeup, props and special effects are doing consistently high quality work, and that's time consuming.

Trained on a corpus of messages written primarily by the people who spend the most time using the Internet to talk to their friends... teenagers.

Imagine dumping the entire content of Snap, Instagram, Kik, Facebook messenger, etc, into a blender and attempting to derive a style of speech from it. The most impressive thing about these LLMs is that they're (marginally) coherent.

Fire is a major limitation.

So... good parenting definitely means having conversations with your kids about safety and good decision making, but I wouldn't call controlling everything that your kids do online good parenting.

You might discourage such things, but you can't necessarily prevent them, at least not without making your kids complete shut-ins.

I understand the need to wrap the mechanism to help keep it clean, but why no zippers or Velcro or something? From the perspective of a technician, cover panels should be easily removable for access, especially on a prototype. Cutting off the covering onstage seems... dramatic.

Also, um... why does it have boobs?

Can't think of a better reason.
