I genuinely thought that film was supposed be, well not bad, but a selfish indulgence. Like we weren't supposed to like it, he just decided he had the money and opportunity to make something that only appeals to him and we could watch it if we want. It's like he got the aux cable on a road trip and decided to put on industrial drone music.

    What she said is so obviously true that her comments biggest flaw is it's redundancy. She's talking about Tomiwa Owolade's words on racism in Britain. A copper isn't going to spot you from 50 yards away and stop you based on the fact that you're Irish or Jewish because they can't see that. Security isn't going to follow you around a shop and hurry you out the door because you're Irish or Jewish because they can't see that.

    I hate identity politics and hierarchies of oppression and language pedantry and all that more than the next person. But when you pretend to not understand an argument which is so obvious and valid, it's hard to believe you're here with honest intent.

    This is a very "nine women can make a baby in one month".

    The idea that there can even be two half as good developers is a misunderstanding of how anything works. If it worked like that, the study would be a dud because people could just run two AIs for 160% productivity.
