Agreed except with > To believe there is no possible way to print out a 6 foot tall by 10 foot long AI generated image that would look awesome hanging in a gallery is stupid. Maybe…

Humans are capable of producing slop too. Maybe the cutout does look like AI. Given Monet's blurry style and repetitive content (he made 250 water lily paintings), this is not surp…

Blue pill: The supplier of the thing you want is friendly and has your best interest in mind. (Suppliers can be corporations, government, the opposite sex,...) Red pill: The suppli…

It's weird for reddit clones to pretend they're anything but a small subreddit in scale. This site has a "discover" feature, "topics" (its own subreddits), "tuning" (huh?), user fo…

Chomsky is the NYT opinion section of academics. Where it matters, he's smoothly aligned with the rich and powerful. Where it doesn't matter, he's allowed to be a polemicist.

Depends on what you mean by "we". Humanity? Yeah, impossible to die out by fertility crisis merely due to lifestyle. The fewer babies are born, the more unoccupied space there is, …

It's also a useless quote. Fertility requires a whole supply chain pyramid: food, housing, infrastructure, medical industry, alcohol... the same goes for the needs of deep learning…

A president fundamentally has to try and please two competing groups, the rich lobbyists and the general population. Whatever he does for one, the other will dislike. Nowadays, the…

Where is the "as a company they can do what they want and if you don't like it, don't buy it" crowd when you need them? Stuck defending Google, Micrososft and Apple, I guess.

Kafkaesque

Lack of empathy better describes Google's psychopathic pursuit of ever more control over its users, while the products get ever more enshittified of course.

Lots of nay-sayers to this, but yes, strikes do work and it's one of the very few real tools for change that people have.

Increasingly, a masters degree is now a piece of paper attesting that you managed to cheat your way through uni using AI. "Congrats, you spent X years at Y location. You unlocked t…

I don't see a lot of agenda behind them though, they don't sell or advertise anything. Are they personal armies? Vote bots farming points to gain downvote privileges? Early version…

You're equivocating two totally separate things

Pros and cons to this. It would re-centralize media again, stochastically dictating what we talk about. The Epstein case would have been sealed some five or so years ago without th…
