Watching some objectively bad shows makes you realize how braindead a lot of reviewers are. Especially with modern shows that have 40+ minute filler episodes that exist just because the streaming service wanted to stretch the season out to 10+ episodes.

There will be an episode that advances nothing except a cringey forced romance sideplot, and then all the imdb reviews will be like "5 stars, best thing I ever watched"

There are plenty of exceptions though! Breaking Bad was really good. Poker Face (not on the list, but it should be) is also good. Brooklyn 99 and Parks & Rec were good. WWDitS was good until right after the house flipping episode in season 3.

Yea I think so. Season 1 is a nice complete story, so there's no cliffhanger or other BS

I agree with the other comments, but wanted to add how deepfakes work to show how simple they are, and how much less information they need than LLMs.

Step 1: Basically you take a bunch of photos and videos of a specific person, and blur their faces out.

Step 2: This is the hardest step, but still totally feasable for a decent home computer. You train a neural network to un-blur all the faces for that person. Now you have a neural net that's really good at turning blurry faces into that particular person's face.

Step 3: Blur the faces in photos/videos of other people and apply your special neural network. It will turn all the blurry faces into the only face it knows how, often with shockingly realistic results.

Once found a whole functioning pc (minus ram and the hard drive) at a thrift store for $3. My guess is it came from an office, and when they plugged it in, and when it didn't work, they assumed it was junk. Actual value of the parts was like $300.
