Elliot Richards, a socially awkward IT worker, is given seven wishes to get the girl of his dreams when he meets a very seductive Satan. The catch: his soul. Some of his wishes include being a 7 foot basketball star, a wealthy, powerful man, and a sensitive caring guy. But, as could be expected, the Devil puts her own little twist on each of his fantasies.

I'm sick of the people, these so called builders, how they are parasitizing on the time of the actual engineers to get their PRs into the codebase.
People who have never coded, for who we now need to spend an insane amount of time validating their design, asking questions they don't even have the answers to, figuring out if the code written was needed for the prompt or whether it was just thrown in there because ... the AI had it as part of the tokens.
Remember, their design isn't built from the ground up, it's focussed on the outcomes, like the movie Bedazzled.
And then you spend time validating their code, you give them review feedback, instead of internalizing it they just shove it into the AI and let it fix it, meaning they don't learn.
Next PR will have the same issues.
Quite a step down from the more fantastical rumours of the past decade, like the 4K Apple TV set (not the boring set top box) and the Apple Car.
Not sure what the use cases for AR are for consumers. Although it wouldn't surprise me if pretty soon we're all wearing some variant of this, and our natural world now has a data overlay with 'AI-powered' profiles of people we see. Like in that scene from the movie Bedazzled (2000), where people getting off a train have have thought bubbles superimposed over their heads representing their state of mind: "lonely", "lunatic", "cheated on his wife", etc.
Brings to mind the (quite funny) movie 'Bedazzled'.
However Brendan Fraser's character tries to phrase his wishes, the devil finds a way to mess him up.
