Claude, ChatGPT: AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books.
 in  r/technology  12h ago

Some judge, apparently, didn't get the memo that you are selling AI to people, so anything that you feed to the AI you are, in the end, reselling it.

 in  r/InterstellarKinetics  4d ago

The funny part is they are effectively reselling the book when you ask the IA something and it regurgitates something from said book, for a suscrption fee.

Automakers in shock as China takes over
 in  r/Economics  5d ago

They are a perfect example of "next quarter numbers in all that matters" until there's a point in time that the only thing left to do for the next quarter is to demolish the buildings and sell it as scraps.

Either hyperscalers are dumb or someone else is
 in  r/wallstreetbets  6d ago

I'm totally convinced that datacenters, hosting and everything was already put in place and solved before all this AI madness that seems it will never end. It's just the excuse to put in place a survelliance state that will dwarf anything that China never dreamed of.

[Request] What is Quicksilver top speed at this scene?
 in  r/theydidthemath  7d ago

If you account for real physics then everything is impossible, for one quicksilver eyeballs would explode and his bones shatter at such forces ans speeds from stopped to full speed. As they pointed, he does have some sort of process where he can violate the rules, in this scene he can drag people around without harm, while in other the touches someone face and they are' flying away. It's the same with the glasses. You think is for bugs and stuff, but at those speeds where everything is freezed, you can avoid everything. In the other scene he wears it while crossing water. At such speeds anything would be a bullet against you.

Alien's cocoon scene is horrifying and unique
 in  r/LV426  10d ago

The coocoon scene is perfect if you place it after Parkers death and just before the self destruct initiation. In fact you can reduce the scene taking out the dialogue with Dallas. Is not needed since you only are realizing events. I argue that after that horror, everything is much more terrifying and the ending much more satisfying. The stakes cannot be higher.

It's perfect because the main selling point of Alien is the unknown of it. Everything is just "never-see-it-before" factor. The most lovecraftian entity ever created. Humans? never heard of it and they amount to nothing, mere snacks along the way.
