You can't hardly use the TVs then. I've seen TVs that don't let you use the HDMI port without it being connected if you have a streaming dongle connected. Hopefully that practice has mostly died off now (Samsung used to do this on some models, iirc), but it's still a risk and only kicks the can down the road a bit.

Journalism, even at the granularity of a single person, is not a monolith. He's allowed to do other forms of journalism. He got famous because of his Gonzo-like show, but that's clearly not the only format he can or is allowed to do.

Come on now. AfD is not arguing for or against social or economic issues. This isn't a spat about budgets, or energy.

AfD leaders want to bring back the German nationalism of the 30s/40s, fullstop.

Can we please stop pretending this isn't the case? It's so tiring.

You've grossly misunderstood the point of this thread if that's your takeaway here.

> Translation: my fragile ego is totally dependent on being overpaid for typing instructions I found on stackoverflow

I'm confused. Your comment's shitty tone implies you're overwhelmingly in favor of LLMs. That's copy-pasting not just on steroids, but on crack cocaine. So what point are you trying to make?

Well, yes. But not here. I don't think he'd go in and troll the real Elizabeth Holmes when he has the chance to do real journalism.

Admittedly seeing him at first made me think "wow that lady sounds exactly like Holmes". Then I realized it was supposed to be her and thought "wow, they did an amazing job casting her".

Then I realized it was her, at which point it was immediately clear this was a serious endeavor and not something Fielder typically does.

The Dropout was not a documentary. It was a dramatic reenactment. I don't think anyone is claiming it's a documentary?

You Can See Everything doesn't have Amanda Seyfried in it as far as I'm aware.

I'm just a parrot owner and have no sources for this, but I'd be surprised if they didn't. Birds are very sound-oriented, have to make split second decisions while in the air to avoid collisions and to react to flock calls while they're moving, etc.

At least in parrots, they love playing with sounds. They'll bang things, tap on things, throw things around, and even scream into different objects just to hear the difference. They also have decent object permanence, speaking anecdotally.

Well, it's both. We have all the public facts about Theranos. Nathan Fielder got to live with them for a period of time. That's not public information. It's still a documentary.

(the GP comment is making a joke; go take a look at the first teaser for You Can See Everything)

They never said it was impressive. Just that they like to demonstrate it, presumably to people who don't know about it.
