“There’s an app for that.”

I mean… A lot of my vocabulary is anti-human, too. Its believable enough to make me wonder.

This and the replies here are actually kind of inspiring. I guess I dont work right now and its very stressful because I feel stuck in my parents home, I dont have the power to craft my life the way I like just yet. But if I never had to work? It’d be so cool to just make art about what life feels like. I’d probably try harder at improving the social experience around me, as opposed to being so confident I need to move away in order to ever be important or build wealth.

its actually funny, I think she made fun of the police for being fascists.

I’m pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren’t as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

A surprisingly high number of leftists still use it as well.

My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.

I’m sure you’ve heard this but just to reiterate, I’m super excited for this and I’m proud of you

Like I care. Amazon bought it, they have a monopoly, hey maybe these consumer facing startups would be more profitable if all the money wasnt already distributed so unevenly?

Awesome! I’ll be checking it out, I love live streams and hate Twitch, got burnt out of the platform after watching for ~8 years.

Talked about linux in discord the other day and all the linux people were fucking annoying as shit about it

My solution has been giving up my dreams of being well-educated, healthy, and socially tactile. I’m a loser now and I’m just hoping to crawl my way back out of this hole I dug rather than sign up for the college loans.

My family still pays for a cable sub despite having access to Roku TV. Its only a little bit worse than Netflix st this point, streaming services are so fucking bad.

I actually really liked TV with its carefully timed re-runs, the bit of randomness, the frequent breaks. It was a great way to enjoy TV. Didnt make it too precious. If we had simply stronger rulings on how shit ads could be, I’m sure I would not have cut cable 10 years ago. Damn its not even been 10 years, likez that’s how quickly the situation has devolved.

The only service Ice enjoyed that entire time is YouTube, and thats with about 12 asterisks because if youve watch youtube its with a lot of grips and pains.

I’m sickened by the trope of near-future American civil war. What would you even call this? Doomer-fiction? Present day reality fiction but written by someone who is sad and also suspiciously impressed with themselves for thinking up this thing everyone has been thinking about?

However, the talent pool here calls for me to actually see this movie. It better be fucking good! This is gonna be my exception to the rule.

Genuinely. If you take going into poverty or homelessness in the abstract - as violence - capitalism is enforced by violence. Work or suffer the consequences.

The US being a country that prints its own currency and isnt tied to any trading partners the way the European Union is, our government can basically create infinite debt and it sorta doesnt matter. Very abstract concept that I don’t grasp. But yeah we can afford it, we just print money or whatever. Also billions is not a lot of money, and that money was already being allocated to the military budget, and that money was earmarked to help our military industrial complex which it is absolutely doing.

2020 III: Isolation

That sounds like a fun watch, good idea

Egypt was very fertile and had food surpluses, many societies that build cool shit had food surpluses.

This is exciting it just probably hasnt come to fruition this quarter. And businesses that are succeeding with AI dont really need to brag about it in the news. (Amazon?)
