AI is so wildly popular because it’s cheap, and through the lens of the consumer (read untrained eye), the best of it evokes emotions they get from a piece that would go for hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I just went to an art museum that had a bunch of Van Gogh’s sunflower pieces on display, and I can assure you, AI art will never be able to invoke the kind of emotional response as I got from looking at those paintings. I’m not an artist, I haven’t taken an art class since high school, so my eye is pretty damn untrained. But even I can appreciate the history of the pieces, the artist behind the work, the headspace he was in and how it affected the finished piece, the extreme conditions he had to overcome just to finish some of the pieces. That’s a huge part of what evokes emotion in an art piece - knowing the story of the art and the artist. And that’s something AI art will never have.

AI art is cheap, sure, but it’s hollow, and people will always be able to tell that.

Are you willfully spreading misinformation, or are you just uninformed

Huh? Dentist chairs recline into a lying position. What kind of dentists are you seeing?

They don’t have to go to the trouble, there’s traitors here at home that will be more than willing to meddle

Cool, that’s not what gun control means

They do have our jobs - I can’t remember the last time I’ve called a customer service number and didn’t get an AI voice bot as the T1 support. I also can’t remember a time where the AI voice bot was sufficient at T1 support, I’ve always had to ask for a human anyways. But they’ve taken those T1 support jobs, even though they’re ludicrously bad at them still.

It’s explicitly not trained in because people don’t go to the free chatGPT to get actual truthful answers (or “I don’t know”), they go there to have their biases confidently confirmed.

you could get the same effect by putting a rubber band on a dick.

Promise?

I also use Arctic fans, and they’re by far the quietest, best-performing fans I’ve ever used. Equivalent Noctua fans are like 4-8 times more expensive, so unless they can also give handies or something, I can’t imagine them actually being worth the price.

All the hassle and risk of running a complicated custom loop plus all the noise of a fan based cooler?! Sign me up!

Probably the grammatical incorrectness of it

No, probably not.

Oh c’mon, that’s not fair, that’s not a date. That’s very obviously a hotel lobby, this is the morning after hooking up.

This reads like a Dropout Brennan Lee Mulligan CEO sketch

Huh. I want to make something very clear: I’m not trying to tone police - please, by all means, paint whatever you want on your own property. Free speech and all that.

However, if I saw that in an area that I knew was deep red, I don’t know that my first thought would be “hell yeah, that dude’s protesting Nazism/Zionism” 😬

“We’re never, ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us trust the experts, because every American will be able to check their own medical advice,” Kennedy said.

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So you painted swastikas all over your own property in a deep red area… in protest?

Who’s building is that?

Driving stick. I’ve tried on several cars at this point, and have only successfully gotten moving without stalling like twice. The worst part is I can shift pretty smoothly once the car is in motion, but I just can’t seem to figure out how to get it in motion.

Yeah a lot of music notation has implicit/hidden elements that aren’t ever really explained. A lot of things are done because someone “feels” like it should be that way, and no one questions it for whatever reason.
