Going without food isn’t irreparable harm? What a fucking joke.

He hopes that he can direct the blame on his political enemies.

It’s intolerable even WITH an ad blocker. There are so many dark patterns these days.

Wishlisted your horror collection! I like your art style.

American protectionism by banning Chinese EVs is how their stock stays up.

Thank god, otherwise how would we cope with that stupid sexy Withers?

That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that it’s going to be increasingly difficult (for the layperson) to tell if a work is by a human or computer. You and I may think there’s some sort of moral superiority in human art, but the average TikTok user doesn’t give a fuck… and they outnumber us greatly.

Precisely. AI art is bad because the users making “art” with it essentially have such bad taste they’ll publish anything the AI shits out.

There exist artistic ways to use AI as a tool, but none of them are easy. In fact they might be harder than just painting the damn picture yourself.

I am skeptical about “never”, but right now I agree that’s true. I expect it to be true for many years to come. That being said, we have seen a lot of improvement (over even the last few months) in AI image quality, composition, and prompt adherence.

It’s only risky business if your relationship is defined by sex. People who would stay together even without the sex (because they like each other that much anyway) are generally going to be fine.

Abraham himself wasn’t monogamous.

Lawful evil. Regardless of their political inclinations, no person should be criminalized for existing.

Turns out that much of what the church says is “doctrine” is actually just authoritarianism.

Well I mean he was always crazy, but at least he used to be merely distasteful rather than full-on fascist.

I’m not opposed to the technology per se, but I agree, it doesn’t seem practical in any way right now.

I mean, I have one. But I got it a long time ago when it was the only long range electric car on the market. Now Tesla is the absolute last brand I would choose.

My kids can’t ride the bus because they are “too close” to school, except it’s 1.6 miles away on a busy road with patches of no sidewalks. It would be trivial to have a bus drop them nearby but they instead want to waste the time of hundreds of parents every single day.

AI is predominantly classified as “fair use” in the US right now, so it wouldn’t even matter if you said “No AI” - copyright does not apply.

Single use plastics intended for quick use and then disposal mostly?

I’m thinking something like a medical use where a plastic thing is used exactly once and then thrown away that same day. Maybe a syringe or whatever.

I was looking at a crystal clear, water tight, biodegradable, algae-based plastic the other day. The problem is, well, that it is biodegradable. You can’t package food with it because it will grow mold and then lose its properties.

Possibly for situations where it stays dry it could be a great plastic, but that pretty much excludes all shipping and food use.
