you clearly don’t know many good developers

I know that everyone and their mom are in the hype train of AI, but we still don’t know if its here to stay or not. Basing your whole strategy on a tech hype trend to the point of antagonising google… seems a bit too far fetch.

sure today Reddit results are still a thing that makes sense, but is it really too big to fail? if they’re not in Google no significant amount of new users will sign up. between that, the exodus and other stuff wouldn’t the content rot relatively quickly?

on the other hand social sites have huge inertia (still surprises me how many people are in twitter), reddit bros probably just wants to sell high to retire and the stock market bros are the dumbest people with a gambling addiction anyway… so the move might work…

Man, I wish economy didn’t depend that much on the stock bros… reddit? IDGAF, they can succeed or fail, I don’t use it anyway, but the power these dumbs have globally is so scary.

thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it :-) . I have quite the opposite experience, as people I know like it are mostly cinema enthusiast and like it mostly for its cinematic features, definitely not a teaching film.

Maybe is a geographical thing, although to be fair I would never have a friend so full of himself as Tyler, so I may have a selection bias.

For me was the presentation of Marla that I remember the most, such interesting way of introducing a character.

anyway, have a nice day!

sorry I wasn’t clear, my criticism wasn’t towards you not liking the movie, anyone have their own taste and there is nothing wrong with it, we all just want to enjoy things :-)

My problem was about you profiling people that do like the movie as “dudebros”, that wasn’t very nice IMHO

that only the dudebros it mocks like it.

or, hear me out, movies don’t need to be lectures and is ok to just do something for the entertainment/artistry/visuals/storytelling of it.

I can tell you that I’m the opposite of what the movie depicts, I’m fragile, never been in a fight, I sincerely hope that will never be in one, I cried like a baby in ET or the time traveles wife, the Schindler’s list broke my heart, I dislike the dudebro dynamics, and I adore that movie. I also like horror movies as a genre and I don’t go around killing people.

It’s fine that you use movies as lectures of life and ethics, or that you don’t enjoy them if they don’t have a message that you agree with, but some people like them for other reasons, so please try not to profile people for what they like to watch.

lol, last time I switched jobs some years ago I did the same but in the other side, I had a side small section with level of expertise on programming languages and explicitly added java with 1/10 to send a clear message xD

(is not that radical giving that I’ve been a embedded/graphics programmer most of my career, but still, funnier than not mentioning it)

honestly, I can see this only affecting the little guy like always, big stars probably can afford to lawyer up and earn money for the AI usage of their image. Not to mention that adding extras in the background is many times easier to get away with rather than the main character
