Movie review: Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die (no spoilers)

Movie Reviews

I've watched this movie in an airplane in 2026, a year after it came out.

Overall, I'll give it a solid 7/10 rating: worth watching.

The basic premise is that the world is overrun by social networks and AI, and all the people have turned into mindless drones and all they do is scroll on tiktok... I'm talking about the movie, not the real life. You can already see how this is great: it's already happening or has happened, and the movie is great social commentary.

Using cursor is infuriating - AI makes you dumb

Technology.

I just installed the newest cursor (3.11.x) text editor and I hate it. It tries to type in front of me. I can't think straight while that is happening.

If the words on the screen change before, during, and after I type - it is as if I'm not typing at all. But the AI is not smarter than me, I am smarter than it. If some business wants to give the task of writing to the text editor itself - that's their choice. As for me, as a software specialist, I cannot give up the task of thinking. It is my job.

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought
I actually think this is not a bad idea, if the pricing is reasonable. I always wondered: you can't stream copyrighted music, you don't have your own 3d engine to stream, but when you stream a game (with in-game music), that is okay.

Game engines are excellent 3d environments, pleasant to look at, and so forth. Are you renting that environment to show it to other people, did you get it for free? Even if you paid to own a copy of your favorite song, you can't stream that song for free (or for profit) to millions (or dosens) of other people. Why can you stream a game, even the one you paid for, without giving daddy a cut?

And again, my rationale mostly centers on how excellent some game engines are, how marvelous it is to look at them. So charging streamers for displaying it to an audience seems reasonable, especially if reasonably priced.

Yes. Basically, humans are just meat bags. Human flesh is part of the carbon cycle. There is no intellectual existence to talk about, there are only industrial processes of growth and decay. That is where, conceptually, this politics is headed to.

P.S.: just wait for this to turn from optional to required.
