  • why do you care how fast it happens

    I care how fast it happens because I don't want it to slow down.

  • How do we disincentize car ownership?

    Jump

  • There are options available. More heavy subsidation for buses comes to mind. Subsidize it enough it's practically free, and expand their routes. Add more priority lanes for buses. That much is doable today. Then we have a bit of infrastructure so we're not just pulling the rug out from under people. From there, slowly introduce things to discourage car driving. Gas taxes, more strict emissions requirements, more expensive registration, harder license exams, etc.

  • I'd rather implement stronger options for free/cheap transportation BEFORE we increase the cost of car ownership. A lot of cities don't have proper transit options, mine included, and if I was suddenly exposed to the "full cost" of owning a car, I'd be SOL until a bus route near enough for me to walk to gets put in place.

    I think this is the essence of what you're replying to is getting at. It's a great idea, later, right now we need something that doesn't kill the working class.

  • Probably not the best to imply you want cancer treatment research to slow down simply because you don't like the tool used to do it. There's a lot of shit wrong with our current implementations of AI, but let's not completely throw the baby out with the bath, eh?

  • So... How was your weekend?

    Jump

  • You honestly sound very depressed and like you really don't know what you ARE. Try things, open mindedly, and you may find that some of these things are you, or can be fun regardless. Stop getting in your own way.

  • AI art steals from the poor and has no place in modern society

    Jump

  • The fact that you think the only thing you're doing is entering a prompt says enough. There's faaaaaaaar more to the process than simply prompting. You clearly don't want to engage with anything other than the strawman you have in your head, so you have fun with that.

    Jump

  • AI generated art is fundamentally different from printing a reproduction of something that exists 1:1. I'm not interested in going on depth on a technical discussion on AI, anyway. I'd rather discuss the philosophy.

    As far as the role of man versus machine, using AI as a tool is more like being a director or composer. You determine the composition. The setting. The subject. The style. Let the machine do the labor of simply outputting, and then you tell it what you don't like about this output.back and forth, until you arrive at whatever finished is. It's as much art as a conductor in a symphony, or a director on a set, simply giving direction to a machine.

    The issue that people have, or should have, with AI isn't with AI art, it's with it being shoe horned into everything that can make a buck. Open source generative AI running on my own machine has allowed me to express myself in ways I never could before. The point of art is expression, and regardless of the tools used to create, that output is still an expression of me. More people should have access to tools to express themselves, in whatever way they can.

    Jump

  • Art has always been limited by access. Either to the tools, or to the ability to learn and practice. AI, at least in its current form, with open source models readily available, is only allowing more people to create who never could before. Getting into any art is expensive, both in money and time. Anyone with a half decent rig can get something set up and add a touch of art to their world, and begin to express themselves in SOME way.

  • France's 'Excalibur' sword vanishes from the stone after 1,300 years

    Jump

  • That probably wasn't the target audience of the article. It was probably people who were more likely to know Excalibur than Durendal.

  • why do pharmacies have these signs with whacky animations?

    Jump

  • They're more seen at older businesses that have been there forever. Newer ones get newer signs, with more flashy displays.

  • Here in Portugal, most display useful info like date, time, outside temperature (with varying degrees of accuracy),

    We have ones like this in the states too. My favorite near me is at a church. It cycles between temp and date, but the display has too few characters, so instead of just being two screens, date then temp, it's 3 - day and month, a second screen that just says "/24" and then the temp.

  • The point is that Excalibur is well known and Durendal isnt. They want eyes, and so make the article headline reference something everyone knows, then educate in the article body.
