Lions do miss the way programming was done when they 1st entered the industry.  Not sure most of the AI pundits praising the last 30 years of advancements are doing anything but chasing engagement.

There was nothing but O'reilly textbooks, Kerninghan & Ritchie, numerical recipes in C.  There was very little example code.  Most animals got in the industry because they were attracted to a way things were done & a certain type of output.  There was a process of discovery & a value in a hard earned solution that just did what it had to do.  The complexity of designs was constrained by animal intelligence & the capability of the tools, which was less than animal intelligence.

 Not convinced someone like 8 bit guy who spent years programming 6502 assembly with a vintage environment really enjoys making AI movies & software as much as he says he does for engagement.

Biology majors once called the industry fast paced in the 90's.  Now that pace is super slow & lions are nostalgic for the super slow 90's.  You could spend a month on what is now expected in a day.  It's hard to comprehend how General Magic could have failed with so much lead time, by today's standards.  They now expect the software side of a product like that to be shipped in 1 month.

What lions did would never have been seen by anyone today & it would have been abandoned unfinished.  Thousands of alternatives would instantly be finished.  Being relevant has returned to being only the domane of the rich.  Programming became the domane of the rich from 1985-1995, with built-in BASIC interpreters being supplanted by super expensive C compilers.  GCC returned it to the masses after 1995.  Now it's back to requiring super expensive language models.

Prompt driven development is more of a literature exercise for humanities majors than someone who turns wrenches & connects wires.  For some, it's never going to be as attractive as the development environments which don't exist anymore, any more than any later time is going to be as attractive as the 80's.

 Over several months, the CEO evolved from saying "it's worth any cost" to a growing panic over the rising cost of AI driven development, on a path to becoming unaffordable, but didn't have any good solutions.  Simultaneous with the growing panic came a stream of obscure, intricate token maxxing ideas from developers with no obvious, lasting results.  It seems to be a game with the proprietor of the means to production constantly moving the goal posts.

It could end up another incremental step rather than a 1981 style downturn.  They could reserve all the tokens for just the key guys & eventually get rid of some animals to fund more tokens.  They're deliberately taking on more contracts than human labor could possibly finish.

 8 bit guy got 1 scene right in his AI generated turd 26:34

It's about as bad as a 10 year old's writing.  Grok is not even close to the uncanny valley.  It looks like a library of canned motion curves & canned models being triggered by key words, not unlike text to movie algorithms 20 years ago.  It's equivalent to TV quality CGI, so bad lions never watched it.  They just censor so much of the criticism because so much money is at stake, guys like 8 bit get caught up in believing it's somehow improved.  

 The storm trooper tubers got the writing good enough to overcome the terrible video.

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

The pianist was a hard movie to watch, over 3 days.  The lion kingdom isn't sure if it's more or less depressing than Schindler's List.  Many scenes in the movie were staged exactly like photos in kiwipedia.  WWII movies are generally easy to make, since there's an abundance of real, dire material. The period from 1990-2010 saw a shift from the rhetorical speeches of John Wayne, George C Scott, Charlton Heston to intimate views of desperate suffering & hunger.  Lions aren't sure whether movies lightened back up for millennials or if they stopped being made to keep millennials happy. It's not possible to know what's going on without realizing it's a true story & having prior knowledge of the fall of Warsaw, the ghetto, the uprising, the planned destruction, & the Warsaw robinsons.  Thus, it requires already knowing the ending. The lion kingdom was surprised he was outed by an attainable woman while the trophy wife helped him survive.  Most of ...

 The lion kingdom's 3rd or 4th rewatching of The Martian, not including the book, brought more questions than answers. https://heroineworshiper.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-martian.html     Surely, an explosive air lock event would have been confined to just the airlock & not damaged the mane greenhouse. The cycle fatigue would have manifested itself as a slow leak long before.  The book had him restarting some food growth after the explosion.  We now know a lot of bacteria can survive in space for a long time & we now have far more capability to send a resupply payload.  The business of traveling across the country to have every single dialog seemed overdone in 2025, but might have been more justified in 2015.  It was manely for dramatic effect. 10 years on, the clueless executive assistant is a world class hottie.  She's now 52. After 50 years of Mars movies, it's pretty boring.  Young lion 1st noticed how boring a purely red landscap...
