<p>Quite rage-baity title, no?<p>What he actually said:<p>“I do say this with love,” Cage said at the convention. “When I see these 50-plus and otherwise intelligent and remarkably gifted thespians putting on these ridiculous outfits and getting ready for the fight — let’s face it, it’s all cutting to the fight — it’s hard for me not to be reminded that the MCU is becoming a well-funded and glorified WWE.”</p>

<p>I don't believe so.  
I am sure you've also notice that Claude is already ridiculously good these days, and becoming better for every month. That goes for other providers as well.<p>I don't know where they are today, but when I left they were very very enthusiastic.</p>

<p>I am with you, AI is a tool, and it matters how you use it.<p>I believe overuse of AI will be detrimental to your cognitive function, because the brain, like most organs in your body needs "exercise" to function well.</p>

<p>In all honesty, a license matters little to nothing if there is no enforcement behind it. And enforcement needs pockets deep enough to drive a legal process.<p>A normal person like me?

<p>These threads are amusing.<p>In an earlier one about Iceland and EU, people criticizing EU were downvoted, called russian bots or far-right. I don't expect much difference here.<p>Chat control and ProtectEU are certainly not the last totalitarian measures EU will invent, there will be more. And I find it interesting that people still defend EU without any hesitation.<p>Now I think the initial trade union was great and a necessary counter weight when competing with larger economies and countries. But it rather quickly evolving into something that is less concerned about the citizens, and more about staying in power.</p>
