agreed, as AI is more widely adopted in cinematography i assume they will start adding categories specifically for it... hate the idea of them ever competing directly against actual humans performing

maybe i'm old school but i hate the ipad like interfaces in cars... especially if i'm trying to change settings while driving. i suppose we're very close to all of that just being voice activated but still this is a win in my book...

also while i'm ranting can we teach people about regenerative braking? every uber or lyft driver that has an EV actually uses the brakes and i'm getting whiplash every time we have to stop.

i'm just happy they don't censor the comment section haha, makes for funny content.

i also love that people will complain about the vulgar language in a book or movie by writing a review that contains a quote with the vulgar language

i would probably use Playwright with custom code, create chunks based on similar products, then run it on a large cluster in parallel (https://github.com/Burla-Cloud/burla).

if you have a single worker trying to scrape a shit ton of products back to back to back you're going to get rate limited or their bot detection will catch you.
