yeah I’m not surprised, I watched the prequels. This guy was a legend in the 70s, that is like 50 years ago.
He hasn’t done anything great since co-writing Willow 40 years ago. Go to his IMDB, he’s lived out of star wars nostalgia since then, and all of them after the initial trilogy was a downgrade.
Is it the worst part? I think the worst part is that is happening. And yes, this definitely gives me anti-EU sentiment. (And I have always been pro-EU)
The problem with today’s politics is the cult mentality that comes with it. There is such “keep supporting our team” rethoric that fucking politicians count on it. We should just hold them accountable.
This is my line in the sand, Fuck EU, Fuck all the parties voting yes, and Fuck every-fucking-one.
If everyone is acting fascist, there is no point on trying to stop fascism. And whether you like it or not this is Fascist as fuck.
I think your parent comment was referring to what Space Karen was saying and not just the most utopian future vision.
First, you need robots and AI advanced, general purpose and reliable enough to a point where we are not even close to imagine. Contrary to what Space Karen suggests, which is always 3 years away.
Second, we still have the HUGE problem of raw materials and energy limitations, which is another huge problem we’ve been trying to solve for the whole history of humanity, a couple of meme generating LLMs will not help with that.
Third, you really need a 180 in economy global system in order to avoid any of the distopian alternatives: either the rich enslaving all the poor, the poor killing all the rich, or any combination. I don’t believe for a fraction of a second that Space Karen is thinking on any utopian future in which he is not the most rich person, and his argument is that money doesn’t mean anything with robotics.
So, lets first focus on the global transformation of people having their needs fulfilled first and then we can think on a future that is, at very best, decades away anyway (the jumps AI, robotics and energy production have to make in a fundamental level are crazy to think will happen in the next 10-20 years)
So, as a thought experiment? sure, but you and me will be dead before that can be achieved. as any argument to make any of the Space Karen companies seem valuable or worthy of any tax advantage? Fuck nope
