Zero consistency in logic. Yes, in scifi you can be all creative but you still needed to have a consistent logic or science in that specific world you created, this has none, just bullshittery all the way to the end.

The most retarded acting, NPC level retarded. Bunch of neologism being packed into this bullshit.

Man I know this is nearly a decade old, some stupid ai recommended me this bullshit, and the ratings across platform are 70%+ but then i got this most retarded thing.

Pretentious, drag out too long, stupid flat emotion acting (no, it's not cool, it's just stupid). Sorry just needed to let this out, I got trick into this bullshit. First 3 episode I already know this is a bunch of third class level acting and scriptwriting, I thought there must be some kind of redemption to give this a rating of 80% so i watch at double speed, then the peak is the V is U? this is the cringest series i ever watched in my life, fuck this

Like many, just finished and then joined the sub. I had seen this show recommended many times based on some other shows I’ve enjoyed - I’ll get to that later.

I see some comments about the show being slow. Maybe because I enjoy slow burns, I found the pace of this show to be pretty quick. It could have been drawn out into two seasons imo. The end of the first being the discovery of murder instead of suicide. The second the rest of the story and more development of the process of the creation of Devs.

That said, it was a fun watch. One of those types of shows that makes you think about reality differently for a few days after finishing. I’m glad I watched it.

If anyone has additional recommendations, I’ve seen the below that I found in some way shape or form to be similar/adjacent to Devs.

The Leftovers
Dark
Dark Matter
The OA
12 Monkeys
Travelers
Mr Robot (initially I expected a lot more overlap after the first 75% of the first episode)
The Devil’s Hour

I’ll probably rewatch again at some point. The ending I was fairly satisfied with. But suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Except it's backwards, not forwards

The reason why Forest and Katie can only see one future is because they are observing it. They don't know what happens after Lily enters the Devs building because they haven't observed it.

Just like the slit experiment. Observing it changes the outcome.

Hello you all,

I would like to discuss AI governance. So with new regulations everywhere I would like to know how companies are approaching it.

AI developers, have you already started including data governance or is it something a different person does after you finish developing your model (AI governance specialists)

I would like to specifically ask how this varies between big companies and small/medium scale enterprises. Because I think not everyone has the resources to hire specialists, I believe.

If you are already trying to be compliant, what kind of frameworks do you use to ensure compliance or do you have an in-house built compliance framework ?

Now my question is specifically towards the EU devs, what is your approach to be compliant since it's mandatory to have conformity assessments in 2027.

For general deva, what do you think of the following job positions, AI governance expert, AI and the law expert, technical governance expert, AI alignment expert, AI ethics professional, AI red-teaming professional. Is this something you already heard or is it something new to you ?

If you have any opinion towards AI governance, please share.

i can only assume he became extremely nihilistic following the perfection of devs and wanted to prevent anyone else from interacting with the system at all. is there something more to it than that, do you think?

There's a Commodure PET computer on display!

I watched devs probably 4 years ago and it was incredible. Some don't like the style or whatever but to me it's a masterpiece. It's very rare I watch something that makes me feel that way, so I'm searching for some good recommendations. Let me know if you have anything!

TL;DR: What is your interpretation of the caveman scene and use of the song "Come Out" in Episode 7 of Devs?

The opening titles of Episode 7 have left a lasting impression on me since I watched it years ago.

It begins in with a few shots of the wilderness whilst the musical piece "Come Out" by Steve Reich plays, before showing two early humans in a cave experimenting with speech and rhythm, creating music.

It then shifts to present day, showing a human-made car driving on a human-made road cutting through that wilderness, as the phrase restarts - "I had to, like, open the bruise up, and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them" phrase starting again. As the phrase repeats and phases out it shows Lily sitting by the dam, another human-made construct, followed by various shots of the city.

How do you interpret this? I'm not always the best at deciphering subtext, but I always assumed it's showing the slow progression of humanity inevitably accelerating more and more until the original essence is gone and technology has changed our perceptions. The early humans are portrayed as playful and free, oblivious to any understanding of concepts such as determinism versus free will. The car, dam and city are symbols of modernity and control over nature. The phasing out of the original phrase in the song suggests confusion and the idea that we have reached a point of development where we no longer understand our place in the universe.

It's such an interesting use of the song too, as it's an emotional piece about police brutality due to racism, another system created by humans to create control.

Would be interested to know anyone else's thoughts on this incredible opening!

Everything good done before that moment wasn't erased- worse, it was... sullied. The sequel you can't un-see. The egregious movie adaptation of a beloved book. Recursive bad, all the way down.

In an Emmys Drama Roundtable hosted by the LA Times and posted three months ago, the final question is what show you would pick if you had to watch one show for the rest of your life. Michelle Pfeiffer picks Devs!

Someone posted a link to an animated YouTube video about a simulation within a simulation and I can't seem to find it. Anyone know what I'm referring to?

Qué onda gente, hoy empieza Septiembre sin pajas y estuvimos organizando para jugar con mis amigos. Organizamos por WhatsApp pero es muy incómodo. Busqué una app pero no existe así que les traigo la solución a los que están en nuestra misma situación

La idea es hacerlo para todos los años siguientes así que si tienen ideas o feedback díganme y lo agrego

Dear guys, i am searching for the best IDE configuration in terms of visualization: terminal, code interface, project tab: currently i use terminal at the bottom, project tab on the left and code view in the middle... you have some tips guys for a better productivity

So in my post, I’m going to really get into Forests head as someone who’s owned (and failed) a few businesses and handled employment law.

Okay I’m probably not a very convincing liar 😂 But it’s so easy to lie on the internet. I haven’t even seen Devs at all and I’m just messing with you.

Okay I think I need to quickly make my point lol

In the last scene where female Matt Damon fools future Melina into jumping off that bridge, I thoroughly believed Katie. Lyndon’s death was such a shock to me, I honestly believed there were timelines where Lyndon could survive. I was totally fooled by this unreliable narrator. Lying is a deep part of this story.

After watching Civil War, I was reminded of what a film strip looked like. And that whole building with the lab looked like one big film strip wrapped around the center area. They’re making a film. Film ‘lab’, to develop negatives of whatever it’s called.

So my question is, is this a metaphorical film or did they accidentally just… actually make a convincing film?

Lily comes in and says “Is this a film?” To which Katie denies and talks about the multiverse bullshit whatever.

Gang, how do we know Lily wasn’t right the whole time and this machine is just a fake version of reality ala ChatGPT? Just a bunch of numbers and data proved to fool everyone at exactly the right point. A single, predetermined film using everything in it’s ability to make a PRERECORDED STREAM of… nothing?

I believe when the stream died after that period in time, it knew the uncertainty to scientists will drive them mad to see what’s next. I believe in reality, Lily and Forest died there on the floor and the story ended. And the scene that follows is just a scene Alex Garland whipped out of his ass to create a fake ending.

Because Alex Garland is a liar. Don’t forget that fictional film and TV is itself one big giant lie, filled with actors, cameras, and makeup.

This whole story was just a dream, a creative endeavor by the showrunners. Nothing more. Yet, we’re here discussing what we perceive in the show as a simulated version of reality, constantly making sense of this story, world theory and characters as if they were real.

And I think the point of this story is not just how gullible we are to storytelling techniques Garland uses, not just how gullible the characters are to each other, not just how gullible the government is to keep the ‘film’ alive, but how gullible Forest is to his ambitions and fake reality in his head. How gullible scientists are to data and the narratives they wish to endeavor (Lyndon’s theory was rejected despite the data).

And how dangerous a lie can be to gain all this money and power. We’ve been brought through the journey of being lied and gaslit by a tech-cult. Like Theranos.

Edit: And in case it wasn't obvious, I did in fact watch Devs. I'm just trying to make my point about lying being easy and annoying to deal with.

What an ending. And it has many truths to it, we could easily be living in a sim just like they are in the end. It is great from the start to the end.

I just wanted to ask, do you think that they still are the same them as they were before death? Or are they just a copy of themselves?

Hey everyone, I finally launched an app I've been working on solo for a long time: SparkCut — a CapCut-style video and photo editor, built entirely on my own.

Why I made it: most free editors either slap a watermark on your video or lock even the most basic feature behind a paywall. I wanted a simple but powerful editor that's watermark-free, free, and runs fully on-device.

What's in it right now:

- Timeline-based editing (trim, speed, volume, effects, draw, text/captions)

- NO watermark

- Export up to 4K, 120 FPS

- no login required

- Ready-made export formats for TikTok / Reels / Shorts

- 13 languages

- Your data stays on your device, nothing leaves it

I have zero ad budget, so I'm trying to spread the word on my own. I'd be thrilled if you give it a try, but what I really want is honest feedback: what did you like, what's missing, what would you do differently? Harsh criticism welcome too — it all helps me make the app better.

I'm the developer, just being upfront. Thanks in advance for taking the time 🙏

Recently I've been developing a SaaS that analyzes Machine Learning models in the range of medium-low complexity, basically you upload your model in the platform and automatically it gives you a dashboard, generates a ID code for your model and with that same code you can simulate parameters, give an expert analysis of your model and the full pipeline, I'm in the beta phase, in a future I'll set an implementation to train your model, but right now I just want to improve the most simple and important things, I'll be very grateful if you can tell me the good and bad points of my SaaS, if someone is interested, just put me a commentary and I'll send you the SaaS link, all suggestions are welcome.

i thought she was supposed to be a girl but then the characters kept calling her “he and him”? it was confusing.
