Thinking about it, Cheick Doucoure at Palace might be an answer. Though I think more likely if you don't get Bruno G you'll probably look out of the league.

lmao excellent

I take it back. Martin Odegaard is shit.

An artist who learns by copying work does so to figure out the techniques needed to create it. When they start selling work they are then using those techniques to make new things. The way 'AI' currently works is by amassing as many images and words associated with them as possible and them mashing them together when similar words are given in prompt (okay that's an extreme simplification but... basically). It's not using techniques it's learned- it's using the images themselves as the basis. To put my writers hat on for a second: I'm a boxing analyst. Of course I learned about boxing by listening to and reading other boxing analysts- but when I break down a fight I see or predict one that's upcoming, anything I write is mine, my own perspective, my own thoughts on it. It would be possible for an AI to write boxing articles, and carefully enough you could probably get it to do one about technique of the sort I write. But any AI-generated article which convincingly does that would not be presenting anyone's perspective but the writers' that went into the AI, remixed and reassembled. Specifically, and why this particular example is personal to me, since boxing analysis is a pretty niche market, it'd almost definitely be using my work as part of it- and not filtered through any perspective. It'd just be my words and those of people I know, repurposed. The process on the artwork is a bit more complex but essentially the same thing. There's no new perspective, no thought there. It's just images that have been put into it, disassembled, assembled and spat out. That AI art generators are also really stupid is a separate issue, although also goes in to why no-one should be seeking to replace artists with AI anyway.

It's fucking theft is what it is.

You need to get on the blower to Leipzig about Lois Openda is what you need to do.

I mean, possibly? If it was between you and Newcastle coming in to the league, I assume he'd choose you. But he's already there. He's already pretty close to a hero there, and like I say, he seems to genuinely love the club. And yeah if it's true I do think if that buying a house in April is a reasonably strong signal that he's not intending to leave in June.

Coz I think he's staying at Newcastle. He seems to genuinely love it there.

It's gonna be a little tricky- a few years ago players of his profile, who'd slot in comfortably next to Rice, were fairly common, but nowadays players with that kind of passing tend to operate a bit further forward, which gives up defensive solidity (or, in your specific case, would put more of that 'staying-put' work on Rice). It's why Newcastle's deep-lying midfielders are a converted CAM and a converfted striker, and why we're struggling so much to refit our midfield. I'm sure you can find someone- and it's probably a little easier in your case coz even if the plan is to punt Partey straight out the rest of your midfield is solid enough you can probably give yourselves time to bring a player up to speed. But no-one directly springs to mind. Well, apart from Guimaraes but I don't think you're getting him.

Okay I admit it Odegaard is really good.

FTFY

One last change to the topic title to fittingly bring it back to what I opened it with, but now someone please start a new one because I don't want to keep doing this forever.

And, of course, it had the assassination of Greedo by the coward Harrison Ford.

No-one has said that joyful Star War stories should stop. The only one trying to stop anyone enjoying anything here is you.

Space Sweepers is on Netflix and while I haven't got round to it yet myself I'm 99% positive it'll be more worth your time if you want a big actiony SF kick. They've got a J-Lo vehicle coming next month and I'm reasonably certain that will also be more worth your time if you want a big actiony SF kick

I'd suggest that the Kithamar description is a version of the 'gods are created by belief' setup we've seen a few times down the years- Discworld and Sandman both use it, and there's a few others. The approach here is less direct than typical, and seemingly not the focus of the story, but it's something a bit different than the Andat, where belief doesn't have much to do with it (except maybe specifically the belief of the Poet).

What do you need character development for when there's literally a roundtable scene where the characters all lay out their tragic backstories and motivations? It's the most on-the-nose writing I've ever seen. Fucking hilarious.

Tuchel is a poisonous arse who I wouldn't want anywhere near my club. I would, however, take Dyche at the moment.

I'm not only blaming Luton for the VAR, but for Everton and Forest's points deductions. And for Andrew Tate.

We did not deserve that at all. The title stays.

lmao

We've completely lost our damn minds.

We're getting down to sqeaky-bum time now: who will have possession of the topic title when it closes.

Casemiro at CB lol
