AI “art” removes the hurdle for the wealthy of actually having talent to produce “art”, while simultaneously removing the artist’s ability to produce wealth from their talents.
Everytime someone shares an AI generated video, song, picture, etc., I cringe a little. Its just not good, or at best, anything that couldn’t be produced by a reasonably capable artist, but hey at least its free, right?
Israel has killed approximately FIVE TIMES as many kids under the age of ten alone than the entire Israeli casualty count from Oct 7.
This is not defense, its extermination. I have no idea how anyone can look at the data and take it any other way.
Its actually insane how hard the US clings to the death penalty.
“Heroic man stops being a bigot when something affects him personally”.
Stunning and brave.
I guess you’re right. Might as well give up now, put zero effort into making anything better, and simply wallow in my own smug pessimism.
People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as “news” are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.
People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they’ll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.
However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias…
Fuuuuuuck caught myself doing this the other day while looking at a map lol.
Weird that AI isnt replacing things like management, CEOs, stock investors, accountants… you know, jobs that tend to be about numbers and efficiency, which you would think AI would excel at.
Instead, we have it skirting copyright by stealing other people works and changing it just enough to not be a direct copy.
I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.
“Are towels supposed to bend?” Is one of my all time favourites haha.
The issue is trying to use genres as specifically as possible instead of being a broad category that covers a wide range of music.
Metal is the worst for this. The vast, vast majority of people would call everything from Black Sabbath to Metallica to Pantera to Death to Behemoth “metal”, but the genre snobs need to differentiate it all for some reason.
Yet, we’re perfectly okay to call everything from Blue Oyster Cult to Fleetwood Mac to Nickleback “rock”.
Boy, that Chef must have egg on his face.
The Museum of History in Canada has a cool solution to this regarding some of their indigenous artifacts.
They either come to an agreement with the people who the historical item belongs to for the museum to keep it, or they give it back with either a placard explaining why the item is no longer at the museum, or reproduction in its place with a sign explaining that its a repro.
Relevant Dilbert:
It used to be, when there were actual bargains worth fist-fighting over.
Now they jack the prices up leading into November, and return prices to normal with “SALE” in bug red letters, or offer a piddly 10%-15% discount and act like its a door crasher.
I always thought that tides were a really underutilized source of energy.
I mean, look at the Bay of Fundy. The equivalent of all the water in all the rivers in the entire world cycles in and out every single day. Thats a lot of movement and a ton of potential energy there.
I have had several french presses, and I can say with certainty that the Aeropress is way easier to make a great cup of coffee with than any french press I have tried.
Can you make great coffee with french press? Absolutely! But it requires the proper grind, water temp, and timing it to prevent over or under extraction. Aeropress is a lot more forgiving.
Newsflash: with the increasing extreme weather events, everywhere is becoming a “disaster-prone area”.
Asheville, NC is 300 miles from the nearest coast and still got its shit rocked by a hurricane.
