On one hand yes, of course. But on the other, to drive people to use yet another (oftentimes) subscription service, it's seems like a Pro Capitalist move for another grift avenue.

Good read. I like the data. I've sussed out critics I tend to align with and read what they have to say after watching a movie, but never before. If I want to be disappointed I look to see what RT scores it for comparison. Granted, RT is a relatively spoiler free way to at-a-glance see if something might be worth spending money on but clearly it's less and less reliable over the years. Reminds me of Yelp and their bullshit. In a perfect world we'd all make much more money to see many more movies and not feel the need to min-max all the fuckin time. Maybe that's just me.
Yo dawg I heard you like microplastics
Hoping this ages like milk, but I'm personally not putting much stock into these theatrics. I feel like the past decade has time and time again shown that schadenfreude only happens in movies, and that every interaction these people have with each other are Neanderthal-level grifts that successfully siphon them more even money from the lower classes.
Color me jaded.
This is a weird loredump from Armored Core.
For the ARC, these federal contracts have been lucrative. According to government spending records, the company has received at least $600,000 from federal contracts so far in 2025, and about $700,000 last year.
I don't know why I was expecting more. US citizens should probably start unmasking who the people making decisions behind these companies are, who would sell out this kind of data on others--all for such an inconsequential amount of money.
This is incredibly insightful, thanks.
I don't know how many times I've made this comment but it feels like a lot. The more you use a word the less it means something. How unoriginal do you have to be at writing headlines in 2025 to use a word as meek as "slams."
It's laughable in this context especially. Trying to phrase it like this guy has gotten any kind of consequence for his toddler-from-hell persona.
Every time I see this I think of Carl Sagan. The guy was a wordsmith.
Agentic LLMs are not a good idea. So I guess we'll be hastily jumping into this boat as well.
