Wow, okay. Next you are going to say that Sleeping Beauty shouldn't have married her rapist. He was a prince, dammit!! \s

Stating Trump's constant lies and not answering questions was "not as bad" and the following that with a racial slur.

You are either a shitty bot or your Russian employer should fire you for sucking at this.

Remove the unnecessary outwardly facing "eyeball screens". There, cheaper.

I can recall numerous comedy movies I went to where I was the first to laugh. Like a full "ha" before everyone else started laughing. I am unsure if I influenced others to laugh, I was more satisfied that I didn't need another person to laugh to actually enjoy what I was seeing.

It wasn't "just" the audience. Sweetening enhances the laughing - it doesn't replace it.

I always thought of it this way. You see fun videos of sitcom outtakes, everyone is having fun on set. This means multiple takes. How hard would you imagine it is for an audience member, on the 15th take, to laugh? Sweetening.

You are partially correct. The pacing is a thing, for sure.

But if you do watch those videos there are plenty of non-joke pauses for laughs. I can recall one where one of the guys walks up to the others sitting in the cafeteria and says "hey guys"... pause for laughs. He wasn't dressed funny, he wasn't doing anything odd, just... "time to laugh, I guess".

IMO, canned laughs are the tool of those that aren't really that good at writing comedy.

Free speech isn't the same as freedom from consequences for that speech. Hate speech is regulated for a reason. Likening hate speech to an "opposing opinion" is outing your actual agenda here.

Clearly, it's not like her literary skills allow her to reach the level of understanding irony.

Tennant, who once lowered himself to appear in a Harry Potter film, stated....

Better?

Same as the billionaire high school dropout. Except the one on the right would be a small leaflet.

Given that a large portion of society, at least US society, can't comprehend simple concepts - I am willing to dumb the beauty out of some things to help them grow.

Your point is valid and correct - but there might be reasons such a thing might be helpful.

There is still a wide gap between human consciousness and what they are calling AI. He is comparing a self-aware, thinking being to a program that picks the next thing based on what it has seen a lot of. I am not arguing for human souls, just that he is comparing apples and moon dust.
