    How Often Does Google AI Actually Generate A Response?

    The "AI Overview will be equally wordy regardless of how much information it has found (let alone how much reliable information it has found). Basically, it's set up to make you think it's providing a lot of utility, even when it's not.

    We clearly experienced that differently. Loki season 1 was Disney+' most successful series at the time, and season 2 had a ~35% drop from that. So, plenty of people watched it.

    Jonathan Majors is quietly menacing in Quantumania, and really interesting in Loki season 2, but that movie has conceptual problems and story problems. That compounded with Major's harassment and assault convictions to sour the whole thing. Recasting and continuing to focus on Kang would have...

    Based on the comics, the premise of these movies, and Namor's disposition in Wakanda Forver, it's not hard to imagine Namor working with Doom...for a while...

    ...and a hapless Reed trying to figure out what to do about it - that whole thing could be a nice little source of drama/comedy. I can see Sue nemused at Reed as he tries to nerd-ily out-macho Namor.

    Star Wars prequel questions

    Seeing ANH way back when, I just assumed Ben was wearing weather-appropriate desert-y robes. Then TPM comes out and I'm like "HUH-uh?!?!?" Makes no sense any way you slice it...unless the Jedi took to wearing desert robes for some cultural reason (did the Jedi start out on a desert planet?) and...

    Star Wars prequel questions

    Maybe there's are no lawyers in SW, so there are no regulations about where dangerous buildings/rooms/chambers/pits can be located and no one has to spend time or money preventing people from falling into them. Maybe he went full Death Star after realizing how much darn trouble a galactic...

    Weren't there some gigantic ones in the comics recently - and by "recently" I mean "in the last 25 years", because I'm old.

    I wonder what Reed will do to push Doom to his limit, whereupon Doom clenches his fists and yells "RICHARDS!!!"

    Here's a Doomsday moment I'm imagining now: the FoX-Men Earth is in bad shape, either from Sentinels and such or from an incursion, or both. Doom arrives and says to whichever FoX-Men are still around "Come with me if you want a world where this doesn't happen." This might be how Doom recruits...

    We see Reed kicking an ape, which from the tv show host's voiceover we have to assume is one of the Red Ghosts's super apes.

    Maintaining your secret identity

    I would wear a full face mask, with a photo of Hugh Jackman's face (super-)stapled to my face underneath that, just in case.

    I have been called post-ironic because of my love for ridiculous things, so I grok this.
