kitchen knives? klingon ones?
Reminds me of the classic Always Be Closing speech from Glengarry Glen Ross
As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is a set of steak knives. Fourth prize is a set of steak knives. Fifth prize is a set of steak knives. Sixth prize is a set of steak knives. Seventh prize is a set of steak knives. Eighth prize is a set of steak knives. Ninth prize is a set of steak knives. Tenth prize is a set of steak knives. Eleventh prize is a set of steak knives. Twelfth prize is a set of steak knives.
Joke's on you, I married a tonberry.
A new set of knives can include things like glue.
You surely will not regret a new set of knives
You can't go wrong with your dick in a box.
I searched for Arby's Pulled Pork earlier to see if it was a limited time deal (it is, though I didn't see an end date--and yes, they're pretty decent). Gemini spit out some basic and probably factual information about the sandwich, then showed a picture of a bowl of mac and cheese.
Coffee's for closers only
The AI wants to be a chef
Or a serial killer.
It can be both!
I've seen models do this in benchmarks. It's how they respond without reinforcement learning. Also this is probably fake
I've had a bunch of questionable Google ai answers already, not as weird as this but enough to make me believe this could also be not fake.
I've used an unhealthy amount of AI, this is nothing. There was an audio bug in chatgpt that made the assistant scream. The volume and pitched increased and would persist even when I exited the speech mode. It happened several times and even saved a screen recording, but I don't have it saved on my phone any more. Repeating is very common though.
I'm from Finland. We like knives over here.
That's entirely too many knives.
How can you have too many knives? There's just so much variety... Butter knife, steak knife, fish knife, fruit carving knife, cheese knife... GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!
I got an old Finnish fish fillet knife
Have you considered a new set of knives?
My wife is going to stab me
But with such nice, shiny knives. They look new. Where'd you get them?

Who wouldn't love receiving 17 new sets of knives?!
I counted and it's accurate
Different idea: how about a new set of knives?
This just proves that Google's AI is a cut above the rest!
Cutting edge technology, eh
Man, Scott was actually such a piece of shit to Chau...
I may be mixing up some details between the movie and the...im gonna call it the manga... anyway yeah, he's shitty in both, boo Scott!
Isnβt she also literally a minor?
... Yeah...
Yeah.
I mean, Scott didn't do anything physical beyond making out with her, if I remember right?
In both the movie and manga?
But uh... yeah, she was a minor, he was not, she was basically a star struck superfan and he absolutely emotionally abused the shit out of her, lied to her quite a lot, and took advantage of his micro-celebrity status.
Really shitty.
To be fair, that's kind of the point of the story. He's a bit of a dick who needs to learn to do better.
I guess I am still mad about it, a decade and a half later, rofl.
"you're just another evil ex waiting to happen"
Seconded! I only watched the movie recently for the first time and Chau was so sweet (eventually) and sincere. She deserved better!
Also, for what its worth:
I'm Bi-FURIOUS!!!
Extremely dumb, but also makes me laugh every goddamned time, rofl
Great delivery from the actress.
To be honest,
Extremely dumb
kind of sums up the entire movie pretty well. I am still not entirely sure what I watched, but I guess that is my fault for not knowing the manga? It was entertaining though, somehow. But I needed two sessions to watch it.
So, it was initially uh... perhaps, outsized in its popularity, more popular than it should have been?
...because it actually captured, pretty accurately, the basically underground video game nerd culture of the time.
Up to that point in time, gamers, now basically a dirty word, but back then, it was... a whole bunch of mostly socially awkward and mostly socially ostracized nerds who had their whole own set of lingo and memes and references that... nobody had ever really portrayed genuinely, accurately, in a movie before... and basically all movie adaptations of video games were horrendously bad.
Like absolutely yes the film and plot have not aged well... but a lot of that is because what was once a very niche, not publically acknowledged culture... is just now pervasive everywhere... basically everyone plays video games now?
whereas a few years before the movie came out, you had jack thompson going on a very public crusade to just try to ban every video game he could, half of america doing moral panics over various video games.
Scott Pilgrim coming out as a movie arguably represented roughlt the turning point at which video gaming as a culture/hobby became, or rapidly began to become, much more broadly accepted and embraced by society at large, without just constantly shunning and mocking them for it.
I dunno, thats my 'thesis' there, could be wrong.
Maybe... maybe you could use something like total PAX attendance by year as a rough numerical backing for this?
Back before the movie came out... PAX only had one location, one event per year, and the lines were not stupendously long. Now it has what, 3, 4 locations per year, and the lines are godawful.
I think time wasn't super kind to it. And I don't remember how clear it was in the movie that Scott's just not a good dude. My memory of the story is that the core is: Scott is bad. Scott accepts that. Scott starts doing better. But maybe that's just my headcannon.
It's a good lesson though! Just because you were bad doesn't mean you are bad. You can change. Life isn't a simplistic video game. It's a lesson I've needed from time to time.
If you haven't already seen it, the show from a couple of years ago reflects on the issues the movie (and partially comics) had, and acts as a great sequel. Can't recommend it enough!
