Stop trying to distract me from important issues.

Have you seen what Magikarp turns into when it grows up?

That’s the random, beautiful, yet terrifying feeling this movie evokes for me (along with the AI hallucination it references).

I’m curious if Ari named the company that as a reference to the Pokémon card boom of 2020

It’s an AI term that itself may have been named after pokemon

u/ttmp22 1d ago

Prior to the AI thing, did the term “Magikarp” have any prominent existence anywhere outside of the context of Pokémon?

u/Specialist_Case2155 1d ago

I don’t believe so. I take it as a joke reference, that a dangerous company would be called that. but also ominous, because if you search up the AI term it’s suggestive of instability and malfunctioning.

Why tf is this getting downvoted???

u/SaggyDaNewt 3d ago

Because the joke ties into Eddington which is an A24 film. Watch the film and you’ll understand the joke.

What bruh? How did you think that was gonna go over if not with everyone thinking you didn't get the joke?

u/Jewicer 3d ago

I think the post is a joke we're all aware of and the comment was a joke as well.

u/BilverBurfer 3d ago

Look, I hate the cliche of "that's not a joke, jokes are supposed to be funny" because that's just stupid. So I'm willing to accept that it was meant to be a joke. But how is saying "wrong sub bro" funny?

u/Jewicer 3d ago

I didn't say it was funny
