  • Pretty sure we had Halloween before the US even existed.

    Admittedly we had to carve turnips.

    Some still do.

  • Looks legit, what's the point here?

  • YouTube is now hiding the skip button on mobile too

  • The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.

  • Any public place frankly, I get a 30 minute lunch and 7-8 people blasting Tick Tocks in a small area...

  • That's really cool for you.

  • British travel bloggers ‘sugarcoating’ China’s Uyghur problem to the delight of Beijing: Influencers claim to be exposing 'Western lies' about Xinjiang, claiming they have not seen human rights abuses

    Jump

  • Influencers are just fleshy billboards for whoever wants them to shill.

    It isn't a job, it is a resource.

    And honestly, I think we are all getting tired of seeing their burning faces and hearing their vapid takes.

  • Dead drops and one time pads.

    Set up a numbers station if you can afford it.

  • It do be like that

  • You've managed to get the affinity stuff working under wine? I can't get publisher to work correctly. I just wish they would make a native version. I'm happy to give them money for it even.

  • It's hard to make money from Adobe when they charge you £66 a month.

  • A global housing crisis is suffocating the middle class

    Jump

  • It was also a work of fiction.

    Or propaganda.

    A lot of 80s/90s TV was selling a lie because it was primarily written by the upper middle classes portraying the lives of the working class.

    They had little idea how things actually worked.

  • one small correction: selfish men create hard times

    Jump

  • I have a theory that our job is just to get out of the way when the boomers die off.

    Hand over the power to the next gen.

    Maybe let us have some basic income and our first gen consoles and we'll be cool.

  • Juice rule

  • Cranberries evolved so they wouldn't be eaten.

    Most fruits want to be eaten so that birds disperse the seeds.

    Their preferred method of dispersal was dropping into flowing water, so that they could find somewhere nice to grow near water.

    The astringent taste was to stop birds eating them. They became buoyant in water to help them float down stream.

    Humans appeared and loved that dry flavour.

    Became one of the most eaten fruits on the planet.

    Humans even harvest them by flooding and using their own buoyancy against them.

    They will get their revenge.

  • Laura Loomer’s latest brag is probably sending team Trump into a panic

  • OK Loomer.

  • This is the internet. It's OK to swear here.

  • Exquisite.

    Also the first twin stick arcade game I played.

  • So, like none of these folk read The Running Man then?

    Or many of the hundred times this idea has been used in Sci-fi.

  • Today I write about Tim Boucher, desperate Ai-enthusiast crying into his fists, "I'm an author! I'm an author!"

    Jump

  • Absolutely agree. Or at least, if he wants to call himself that he can't be upset if people disagree.

  • There's an interesting thing there about the legitimacy of the artist.

    Most artists and creative I know are rather comfortable with people disagreeing with them and the value of what they make because they understand the value of it to themselves.

    I'm an artist and that happens because I make art, not because someone bestows the title on me.

    I think the AI crowd is touchy because they dont get that. What joy is there when it is made for you? A prompt is not craft.

    I think the main condition here is that he wants to be seen as a writer when he doesn't write. He could legitimately call himself a storyteller, or someone who crafts narratives, but that isn't legitimate for him. Instead he needs the validation of a title he doesn't deserve.

    I also wonder how he deals with criticism of the product. If someone reviewing his books calls the language clumsy, does he see that as his failure as a writer or the failure of the AI. The fact he will have to confront that is fascinating.

    It isn't my painting that sucks, it is the image I copied it from.
