I find it weird that people seem to argue almost exclusively over the economics of generative AI. I’d say around half of these panels are just variations of the same “it promotes economic trends which I find unacceptable” thesis.

My personal opinion on the matter, which is that any art is made meaningful by the person behind it, is basically only touched upon in the last two frames. I mean be honest, why on earth would we need some ugly piece of crap failing at imitating something aesthetically pleasing, when we could have unique styles shaped by personal experience and art that’s actually thought over to look coherent in some way even if it may lack that detail that AI is obsessed with for some reason.

I said it once I’ll say it again that’s the centrifuge brainproject of aquaparks

I mean, he is still a troll. Just a very dedicated troll. He lost all that weight and then he called everyone who couldn’t see that coming (wonder why) an idiot, which I think is a sentiment to his character.

While right now that may not be the case, but as someone who looked into the topic I can definitely say that it has similar potential. It’s just that a lot of companies just duct-tape AI onto their product and the result they get is usually shitty. But if you ignore all those “projects” that are obviously meant to fail, there are some promising projects and applications for AI that are actually made by people who understand what they are doing, the limitations and the upsides of the technology and they may just make products that are indeed useful.

Sorry for the undecipherable wall of text, it’s early in the morning for me.

I have experiences opposing this to the point where I don’t think I can get myself to watch anything with German dubs ever again. Most words spoken in English will have an equivalent in German that’s three times longer so the lipsync always looks very weird. At least as far as I’ve seen.

Yes, it’s literally the way I have learned English. But German media is so scarce it’s not even funny.

I’m sturggling with German in school and so I thought that consuming any media that is German must help. It actually doesn’t, but occasionally I manage to somehow translate a meme and then I get the funnies.

For me it was having the audacity to state Holodomor was real, while denying it is actually a crime in my county. Looking it up it actually isn’t, but it’s widely accepted to have happened and is taught in history lessons.

For me it’s categorizing radical ideologies correctly. I just hate people throwing around buzzwords, calling anyone a communist/fascist they disagree with. Those words have meanings. You can actually be worse then the fascists and still not be one, it’s not impossible. You can still be hated for that, but you didn’t automatically become one, because you are right-wing and coincidentally an asshole. But the moment someome calls you a fascist, while you’re just an asshole, their opinon automatically becomes invalid and wrong.

Never was

This is actually a great shower thought. Not something I’d normally think about, but playing with the thought trolls do seem likely to try and annoy people this way.

But like, that’s stupid they don’t expect us to eat halal why do they expect us not to depict their prophet?

That would probably also solve overconsumption, since you could only buy so much of anything before literally running out of dollars to deposit.

Centrifuge brain project but with water

I’d argue that’s not a unique person, but a unique skill of an ordinary person. Interacting with Socrates as a person probably wouldn’t have been extraordinary but experiencing his unique ideas for the time would have.

Saw this yesterday, wanted to link, beat me to it.

Give them perpetually 40 year old bodies and let them rule as two God-Emperors in repeating eight years cycles for each.

So much

math

I mean in the grand scheme of things there are only a handful of types of people, maybe a few hundred and those types repeat over and over. Everyone has their own unique experiences, personal drama and relationships, but their behavior and core traits are shared with probably millions of people throughout history. Thinking you are unique is not a rational belief and if it becomes integral to one’s personality (like it has to millions of people before them) I think they should be mocked, just for the sake of getting their heads straight.

It’s not that you aren’t allowed to be the most important character of your story, it’s just that you shouldn’t think that’s because you are something that never was before and never will be after.
