PSA that Ryan Ridley, writer of some earlier episodes like Tales from the Citadel is returning as a writer for season 10!

Personally I think this is great news since I miss the lore heavy episodes he contributed to and the fact that he was able to balance comedy within the dramatic elements

Plus he doesn't seem like a problematic creep so sign me up!

Was Season 9 the first time that Evil Morty's theme wasn't played for his episode?

Couldn't remember if they played it in season 7 since that was more of a Rick Prime episode anyway

It's "For the Damaged Coda" and based on a Chopin nocturne

I miss when there was more music in this show...

According to IGN's review of season 9, Owen Wilson will have a guest role in tomorrow night's episode 4, "A Ricker Runs Through It"

So far I've been liking season 9 so far and I'm looking forward to this episode!

In the last 12 days I've been a victim to now 2 instances of AI being taken away unceremoniously:

June 1st - GitHub Copilot price hikes (yeah I didn't see the news, I own that)

June 12th - Fable 5 (I actually did see this on the news and managed to get a few last minute prompts in before it was too late)

---

I hate this. I need consistency in my life and I'm willing to shell out some cash if it means having a good enough solution that will never be taken away by greedy corporate scum

My budget is $2k - $4k

Can y'all please help point me in the right direction for what hardware to buy and where to start to get into local LLMs? It doesn't need to be lightning fast like the cloud models, just good enough for me to be able to take it for granted in the same way that you would for something like a calculator

June has not been great to say the least

June 1st and June 12th of this year will probably end up in the history books

I predict that this will be the start of the bubble finally bursting

Wonder what will happen in the next 2 and 1/2 weeks...

My estimate is that by the arbitrary date of June 9th 2027 (hehe 69) we will be in the ruins of the fallout from AI collapsing on itself by the violent ebb and flow the last 12 days

My evidence? Idk man but water is a non renewable resource. It's gonna dry up at some point...

Have any of y'all solved the millennium problems using AI yet?

I'd love to see someone try

In fact, I'd pay a million dollars for that /s

(But for real I wanna see someone use Fable 5 to solve one of these things lol)

I don't want to waste my tokens trying this out but I'm curious if anyone has tried using Fable 5 to solve any of the Millennium problems

I'd pay a million dollars to see someone try this /s

What is the bare minimum a voice actor would need to contribute to get writing credits? Would they be credited if for example they improvised a line? Or would the screenwriter get the main credit?

Asking because people keep saying Roiland hasn't written anything since season 3 but do you think maybe he might have improvised any jokes when he recorded his lines?

Something just feels super off in the dialogue since the recast. Not the plot or larger things like, I just mean the spoken words in the script

Wish the new voice actors would slip in some more jokes...

1. I'm glad they fired the creep and I hope they don't bring him back
2. But I also don't think the show is as funny anymore

(edit: adding that the pacing isn't the same anymore, about 1.25x times slower and fewer jokes per minute)

Is it not possible to compromise and believe both things to be true?

Season 9 so far is better than 8 but I just don't think it will ever be as objectively good. The show was best when it was a meta comedy. Now it's just sad and depressing like Bojack Horseman mixed in with anime fights and very little meta commentary or self awareness

These usage increases are driving me crazy and I miss the days of paying a flat monthly fee

Is hardware not powerful enough to run local model well enough yet? I wouldn't mind investing $4k - $5k in a really good machine that can run local LLMs really well instead of paying a cloud subscription and being locked into Anthropic's control

It's not a rush and I'm not doing anything wild that needs strong compute, it's more the peace of mind to know that I don't have to always be thinking about conserving tokens since it can free up my mind to focus on other problems
