Did you check out the article, because it's most definitely not a good thing. It was created to assist with cybercrime things, like writing malware, crafting emails for phishing attacks. The maker is selling access with a monthly fee to criminals to use it. This was unavoidable though, can't put the tooth paste back into the tube on this one.
Good point and all, but my first thought was that it could finally tell me who would win in various hypothetical fights lol
Wasn't that a show on Discovery at one point? Deadliest Warrior. It was simulations using different technologies to figure out who or what would win in a fight. Newer technology would certainly make it more interesting, but you can only make up so much information, lol.
It was on SpikeTV back in the day and while it used cool tech simulations their sims were heavily weighted by their chosen experts. There were a few notable episodes that caused some fan uproar because one side had won despite weird odds or chosen simulation to display.
If I remember right ninja vs spartan was one such episode. It seemed like the ninjas possessed all the tools necessary to beat the Spartans and even got it down to something like a 1v4 or 2v5 before a completely unrealistic turnaround.
Yes, it was Spike. I specifically remember having watched that episode. I assume it's because the movie 300 was probably relevant at the time, but that might be confirmation bias on my part. It would be interesting to do a comparison with ai vs the models they created on the show.
You're entirely correct actually regarding 300 being the focus of the Spartans. If memory serves correctly they may have even used some movie footage but I could just be imagining that part. It's been a long while since I watched it.
I meant more like Shaq with a 2x4 vs eight Gary Colemans with nunchucks, but that was a good show at the time
Puts on Gary Coleman
@[email protected] Who would win if Shaq, armed with a 2x4, had an accurate fight scene in a movie against Gary Coleman with nunchucks? Describe the scene, including Shaq using his name as a verb at least once.
TITLE: "Giant vs Dyna-Mite"
The scene opens in a gritty, dimly lit alleyway. Shaquille O'Neal, better known as Shaq, firmly clutches a 2x4, his formidable stature casting a shadow that dwarfs the surroundings. Gary Coleman, with an aura of confidence that belies his size, swings his nunchucks ominously by his side.
As the tension rises, a suspenseful murmur intensifies in the atmospheric soundtrack. In the distant background, muted street lights flicker casting their glow on the scenery intermittently, beautifully weaving a noir effect.
The two opponents lock eyes. The disparity in their sizes becomes more evident - the giant versus the dynamite. Yet the flicker in Coleman’s eyes reveals a determination to demonstrate that size isn't everything.
Shaq scoffs, his deep booming voice reverberating off the alley walls, "You ready to get SHAQ'd, Coleman?" he taunts.
Gary, undeterred, smirks, "Bring it on, O'Neal."
They circle each other, gauging and planning their moves. Suddenly, Coleman dashes forward, his nunchucks whirling like steel dragons in the semi-darkness. Surprisingly agile, Shaq sidesteps, wielding his 2x4 as a shield.
Shaq swings, but Coleman nimbly evades the hit using his nunchucks to deflect the follow-up thrust. The audience is at the edge of their seats, the skill and precision of Coleman leaving them in awe.
But Shaq, employing his strength and size, manages to disarm Gary and with a swift move, he 'SHAQs' him. As if redefining his own verb, he uses a basketball fake-out move followed by a powerful thump, sending Gary sprawling.
As the dust settles, both men pant heavily, but it's clear who the victor is. Even though Shaq stands tall, it's evident from his demeanor that he acknowledges the smaller man's courage and fighting prowess. This was not an easy win.
And so, just as the day surrenders to the night, in this gritty cinematic faceoff in an alleyway, the giant Shaq, armed with his formidable 2x4, emerges victorious over the dynamite Gary Coleman though his victory is a testament to their respective skill and courage, forever immortalizing this epic battle scene in the annals of film history.
This is fucking hilarious. Ai might steal our shitposting jobs.
Good bot
