  • I stand by my opinion: It was AI/ChatGPT generated.

    They let ChatGPT write an episode of Futurama, they animated and voiced it with effort, to prove that writers cannot be replaced by AI. They can now always point at this episode’s low ratings and tell executives “that’s why you need us”.

    And they immediately contrasted that by doing the Block-Segment in E10 - to show that a good story, even with minimal animation, can still succeed and be more entertaining than AI.

    That’s also why E10 is all about artificial intelligence and being simulated, that’s also why E1 (!) had that bit showing a writer’s room with dead, overworked people and bender as an AI replacing them, but producing crap. And guess which episode was reference in E10 again? Yep, exactly that episode 1.
















  • China is communist in name only, in practice they are the definition of State Capitalism.

    Oh, that’s great, because now you are the guy saying “that’s not communism” instead of the people attacking capitalism. Which is great because I think exactly the same!

    See, East Germany or the USSR also weren’t communist, because there were no democratic elections (contrary to communist ideals), independent courts (contrary to communist ideals), free and independent media (contrary to communist ideals) or opposition parties (contrary to communist ideals).

    It’s almost as if all the “communist” countries you know were not communist at all, but authoritarian.

    You know there were socialist/communist success stories, right? But they were always couped and destroyed by conservatives. Noteworthy examples were the Paris Commune or the communist regions during the Occupation of the Ruhr, who resisted the military occupation of the Ruhr region of Germany by France and Belgium.
