chocolatine December 2, 2019 Share December 2, 2019 (edited) As an AI professional, I have to make a public service announcement that the deus ex machina that saved the day isn't remotely possible currently. It's just as bogus as "middle-out compression" itself. The earlier part where Anton reasoned that the most efficient way to reduce buggy code was to delete it was a much more accurate reflection of the current state of the art. I loved that Big Head memorized the entire SSH key just from looking at it once, I knew he has to be good at *something*. And "Bitchard" on both Jian Yang's and Monica's phones was low-brow but funny.

link417 December 2, 2019 Share December 2, 2019 Ants? Meh. It’s no dick-jerking algorithm, that’s for sure. At least they decided against breaking the door down this time. (I guess that can best be attributed to Erlich’s absence.) I’m not sure if I should be encouraged or dismayed that someone like Russ would want to be “woke.” 🤔 I’m just ready for the series to be over. It was great for a while, but with only one episode left, odds are it is not going to end on a high note, quality-wise. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5785469

tennisgurl December 2, 2019 Share December 2, 2019 The only good thing about Gwart is it leads to some funny Jared lines and scenes, like her thinking every pile of garbage was her. And I really hope that someone can take Jinjang down in the last episode, I am so intensely over him and his bullshit. Its not even funny bullshit, its just...bullshit! Yeah, I know very little about AI, but I do not think it works that way at all. I did enjoy the giant Russ, and Russ and his many outfits. I went to an art exhibition over the summer that had a bunch of stuff from Burning Man, and I can get tech people love that festival so much. For a bunch of half naked people doing art in the dirt for days, it has a lot of tech stuff going on as well, especially with light displays and interactive exhibits. "Am I going to prison?!" "I can train you." 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5786203

I don't know that that's possible - the day-to-day of tech, even "cutting edge" tech like AI, is pretty tedious. AI, at its core, is just applied math (current AI is based on statistics, linear algebra, and calculus/optimization; old-school AI was based on logic) - not the sort of thing that has wide appeal. 😁 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5786939
Cthulhudrew December 3, 2019 Share December 3, 2019 Even if the AI did work, would they want to keep something running when they didn't even understand how it actually came together and functioned in the first place? Especially given the prior history Guilfoyle's AIs. I am glad that the show didn't have Laurie suddenly and inexplicably turn into someone who would commit corporate sabotage; it would have been out of character, and the fact that everyone (especially Jared) would have believed that she would be a part of it was galling to me. Anyway, some funny moments, but overall I echo the sentiments that this show has long overstayed its welcome and overplayed the "down on their luck, with a last minute save" shtick for these guys. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5787234
ElectricBoogaloo December 3, 2019 Author Share December 3, 2019 Hahaha, OF COURSE Russ got Crazy Town and Puddle of Mudd to play RussFest! This song was inescapable in 2000/2001! To be semi-serious for a minute (which I rarely am when it comes to this show), it makes sense to me that Russ wanted these bands at his festival. Chris the actor is 44 so I'm assuming that Russ the character is around the same age give or take a few years, which means Russ was in his 20s when these bands were popular. They remind him of when he was young and having fun. I loved that Jared knew Gwart is a Linkin Park girl (and that he remembered exactly what time she has her daily artichoke snack). 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5787237

link417 December 3, 2019 Share December 3, 2019 I liked Puddle of Mudd, so I object to their inclusion in Russ’s favorite bands, LOL. I guess the writers felt Nickelback has gotten enough abuse over the years. Random thought: I feel like outfit #2 may have been Native American-themed. There are lots of possibilities, but that’s what my gut is telling me. At least Russ had the awareness to suspect it (whatever it was) had the potential to be problematic. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5787350

lucindabelle December 5, 2019 Share December 5, 2019 I loved this show so much The first Season I watched it twice. Then I throughly richard was handsome, sweet and nerdy. the bizarre dweeb he’s become had no resemblance. Similarly monica was a sweet corporate type- and there was even chemistry. and yeah the dick mathematics was hilarious. well live in new reality. i did laugh at Jared’s let me speak- as if she were speaking with her eyes. And she must be because he is certainly communicating with her. He does see her - the way nobody else can. I want the show to end with a win. The huge hologram did crack me up. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104618-s06e06-russfest/#findComment-5791383
