Instead of memorizing vasts amount of text modern people memorize the plots of vast amounts of books, moves, TV shows, and video games and pop culture.

Computers are much better at remembering text.


I worked at a company where we had a untouchable manager who had some Brahman caste devs report to him and they absolutely HATED this.

Brahmin. Brahman both is you and reports to you, as it were.

Iran treats Jews as second class citizens and prevents them from all leaving.

I’m sure you have proof of this. Prevents them how? Iranians have been traveling in and out of their country for decades.


That isn't even remotely true.

Please provide examples

Wow. This sucks. Look at how they gloat about how much they change the way they shoot to suit the technology. These kinds of technologies that box film makers in are surely contributing to the boring same-y-ness of modern film and tv.

They’ll happily settle for “looks good enough for viewers who are distracted by their phones anyway” if it means the post budget item goes away completely.
