Lol good one

Hasnt he been in hospice care for like a year and a half now?

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?

No, I’m pretty sure its the indiscriminate bombing of children overseas that’ll do it.

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.

• Who wants me to be reading this?
• What emotions (if any) is this trying to ellicit?
• What objective information can be taken from this story?
• What are the sources for that objective information? Are they reliable?

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…

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.

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.

There are two types of people in this world:

1. those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Democrat Base: “Hey, can we… uh… fix… you know…” gestures broadly at fucking everything

Biden: “You got it, champ, unlimited funding for Israel’s war effort.”

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.

I cannot recommend the Aeropress enough. It makes such great coffee at its price point. Its quicker and less wasteful than a lot of other popular single cup options coughKeurigcough

I dont know about that.

See, this world is rough, and if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough. If a father knew he wouldn’t be there to help his son along he could, hypothetically, give him that name, say goodbye, and know his son would have to get tough or die.

That very name would then help to make him strong.

“Of course my grandparents survived the Holocaust! My grandfather was one of the most decorated officers in the S… uh, next question?”

Oh, man, so much.

Free/pay what you can kitchen, for starters. Subsidized rental properties, all sorts of community projects.

Better to play the long game. Keep them at your place as long as possible. Pretend like you are interested, fein your support, but you need a little more convincing.

The more time of theirs you can waste on a non vote, the less time they have to do anything else.

“You can never truly idiot-proof something, as there will always be a better idiot.”

Last line of the article: “Just like choosing not to ride on airplanes isn’t really an option, for many, using social media isn’t much of a choice either.”

That, and not only is not riding on an airplans an option for a lot of people, its their reality for a lot of people and out of reach financially. Way to be completely out of touch, Gizmodo. Couldn’t have used a worse example lol.
