Generative AI is built on the stolen art, photos, videos, films, voices, music, writing, journalism, private data, and so on of countless people. It's nothing short of theft.
They saved money by hiring fewer concept and VFX artists, period. Because the AI stole from them.
Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
Very rapidly approaching the point where terrorism is defined as anything other than letting the obscenely rich do whatever the fuck they want, laws and rights be damned.
George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.
It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.
My hottest take is that while the environmental impacts of generative AI are awful, to convince people to stop using it, you should talk about how its anti-human. Humans are defined by curiosity, socializing, creativity, all hurt by AI. Also its proven to cause cognitive decline
Yes, AI is bad for the environment, but we also can't overstate how pathetic and embarrassing it is to pretend you wrote a book you didn't write. It's toddler-level delusion on full display from fully grown adults.
We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we almost never question why billionaires are never satisfied with what they already have.
time to bring this back but if ur dealing with wildfire smoke (or any pollutants), filter boxes are inexpensive, easy to make and really helpful!!! slap a couple (merv 11 or 12) filters ontop of a box fan box with the fan pointing up, filters to the center and bam you’re done!!
If your line cook died and you replaced them with a random sibling your restaurant would likely fail immediately but apparently being a senator requires less experience than being a line cook
Hey men ...
Don't turn to Andrew Tate and his ilk when looking for a role model.
If you want to be liked, respected, heard, valued ...
If you want women to like you ...
be like Sam Neill.
There's your role model.
the air quality sucks, the food gives you explosive diarrhea, we have no public transport, medical care is unaffordable, they’re tearing down forests to build AI data centers and I still have to clock in for work
My problem is companies couldn’t wait to have less restrictions and roll back on what protects consumers with this administration when they did not have to.
But bc they are no longer required to, were exposed to glass and parasites in food.
Embarrassing.
