He seems to be sniffing his own farts more and more these days, but I agree with the first half.

Well that’s awkward.

You know this is a good example of why AI will fail for a long time. These movies are seen as pure schlock because in most cases they are extremely derivative of prior works. That is all that AI generated films will be, derivative works of likely everything.
Hallmark films “work” because they use every trope that’s been used before and markets show they work. AI films, in the current models, will be no different.
How many people want a movie that’s more than that? For every Oppenheimer/Barbie ticket bought how many Transformers tickets sell?
And look at the rich IP. There have been like 11 Star Wars movies and how many TV series made by real people. You tell Chat GTP, “Watch all the Star Wars there is and create a sequel movie.” Compare that movie to the recent human-made iterations and would it be much worse? Would the streamers buy it just to fill up “content?”
Or tell it to watch all the actual prestige TV serieses (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc.). You don’t think AI couldn’t make shows as good as CSI? Again, all it costs is a Chat GTP license and the electricity to run the computer. Gotta be cheaper than an actual CSI season.

Good. That’s pretty cool.

AI in its current form will never understand humor or sadness or drama or any emotion. It knows what WAS those things, because of key words/tagging. But it doesn’t understand the feelings elicited from something.
I really question that it will ever be able to churn out a truly original script of any quality.
Hallmark Christmas movies.

Split was good. Glass wasn't quite as good but still alright and the last actual Bruce Willis performance I'll see.
I love his take on the grounded superhero. Shoulda built it as a franchise with an origin story every 2 years or so then a team up/Avengers finale. As it is, waiting over a decade for one sequel was just too long.

Maybe the sequel should just be a big convoy of people getting out of Oklahoma. Seems like a dangerous place.

Is there a precedent for taking a belligerent nation's money and using it against them? Did we do it to Nazi Germany? I'm totally not against it; just wondering if we're treading new ground here.

Is this in Texas? Sounds like the house is owned by your father's estate and his widow. Was his estate probated?
Ohio. I do not know if it was probated. Oh. Also. She was the executor and hasn't executed the will. As I said, it's a shitshow.

It's a shitshow. She spent a year in the nursing home, just sane enough to barely say, "I'm not crazy."

Welp, after all the crap I've said about the lawyers on this board, this is the first place I'm coming for help. Apologies to everyone I've offended.
My father passed away two years ago and the house was in his and his second wife's name. Last summer she went into the nursing home with dementia and her sister got a Guardianship over her financial interests last month. Finally.
She wants to sell the house, which is the right thing to do. My three sisters (no pics) and I are on board with that. Seems to me it would be cut and dried. Widow owns the house outright, Guardian has authority. Sell it.
Widow's sister has been working with a lawyer who specializes in Olds. I don't know him, but he seems competent. Widow forwarded me an email exchange she's having with him where he says, I am hoping we can get the kids to sign waivers so you can sell the property without it going through a “Land Sale” with the Court. A land sale is expensive and have to go through lots of hoops with the Court.I'll be totally cool with that once I know what it is and what it means. Can I get some help here? I know your usual $3.50/hr fees apply.

This is a modest house. $300k, tops. There aren't enough assets to fight over.

You have to remember as a college student in Texas the worst state ever moniker belonged to Oklahoma. As to how/why Bartlesville was the chosen city to be mocked I honestly do not know. I would imagine the cities/towns in western Oklahoma would be far more desolate/terrible.

Friend of mine in his 50’s has struggled with weight for his whole life. Tried diet and exercise but just couldn’t maintain the discipline.
Got on one of these drugs. Few months back. Made sure that the food he cut was anything but protein and veggies. Started a vitamin regimen just to be sure.
Lost 10 pounds, restarted a weight/cardio regimen and found it way easier to stay disciplined on. He’s down quite a bit more now, but is likely up on muscle. He loves it all. He’ll tell you your discipline needs to go up, not down when you start Ozzy and worries he’s gonna bwcktrack. Worries he’ll quit the S&C and go back to eating whatever he wants and ignoring macros.
So yeah I’m sure there are many (most?) people who will just take the pill, shrink and end up skinny fat. And likely they’ll still be better off than when they were fat fat.
