Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.

If we want to make the UFC White House fight really interesting, put James Talarico in the octagon with a middle school civics textbook and see who taps out first.

@VictorTaelin As an AI hater, this was the conclusion I came to after being forced to touch it at my job. Good for simple tasks and exploration, but that’s really it. Dubious about the timesave in some cases due to cognitive overhead reviewing what it did in some cases.

just some food for thought, why isn’t sweden doing it? Isn’t greta swedish?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

I am the proud owner of a 2.5 million line change at work.

[shabingus @_FaceFTW]

@UltraTerm What do you mean less control? You have a lot more control even with a basic camera. Zoom, focus, exposure time, these are fundamental to the control in photography. Even without those, composition of the shot can be controlled with minimal effort.

It isn’t point and click.

[shabingus @_FaceFTW]

@UltraTerm If you want to use that argument, then my final point is the effort is “not the same”.

The computer is doing most of the mechanical work in AI. Again, I find the humanity of the physical mechanics by man more impressive than whatever some algorithm generates.

I simply disagree

[shabingus @_FaceFTW]

@UltraTerm Nope, I view the mechanics as an important part of the vision. It provides greater insight into the vision and the artist behind it than some black box algorithm currently does.
