  • My problem with Kagi is that they’re still running at a loss and they think AI will be their savior.

    And their AI currently gives extremely wrong information but the devs think that’s fine because the point of their AI is to be fast not accurate.

    I liked it as a search engine but at this point I can’t see it surviving. If they raised the prices to where they lost a lot of customers and still can’t get to positive numbers they aren’t going to fix it by having AI give you wrong answers.





  • Kind of, basically we live in the era of every IP possible getting some kind of adaptation just out of name recognition (and there’s not a modern Twisted Metal game to justify it so it could easily have been a nostalgia ploy and nothing else) and frankly I don’t think Twisted Metal has the most compelling writing as a video game either so it was a low bar to begin with. Twisted Metal Black has some fun monkey paw ideas but it would be hard to adapt a TV series to just that given that you’d need every contestant to win to see how their wishes go.

    So I didn’t have much reason to think it’d do well as a TV show but I think they took the best bits of it and let themselves get creative enough outside of it to make it work for the most part.
