  1. Movies for Jerks on Software Predicts Movie Success · · Score: 1

    I ask you, which came first, the jerk computer program that could predict the best movies for jerks or the jerk that figured out howto make movies for jerks? Either way, theres a lot of jerks out there making movies, watching movies, and writing computer programs that claim to know Quality, having knowledge of nothing outside of a large data set that is, as we have seen, largely jerk-influenced and low-quality. Even carbonbased critics have difficulty in rising above the level of mere trend-recognizing. It doesnt take a machine to tell me that Michael Bay is hot, hot, hot. If the machine could begin to give useful insight, that is, perpective on elements of the film and how they interact, that would seem of more use than the temporal sepia snapshot: "it works because it works".
