  • 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.




  • Today, I had a weird issue: A program I worked on for hours would compile and do the (test-) output it was supposed to do. But if I’d declare and initialize another variable (unused), it would be stuck in an endless loop.

    It would only happen with an initialized variable, not with simply declared variables.

    Took me until this evening in my bed to realize that I probably am using another uninitialized variable somewhere in my code and that’s the source of this bug.








  • You can always run software in a Virtual Machine to see if it’s the real deal or not. Additionally, people really like to be “the first” or “the one” who actually provides something. See for example the first cracked Version of Read Dead Redemption 2 - it was announced like a special record (and it was!). Being the first to provide an actual, working copy brings fame, that’s why people go to such lengths to crack and provide software. And the people who download it? Well, they can often rely on those with virtual machines testing the software and then on reviews and ratings available on the download sites.
