It’s no more absurd than somehow sleeping outside is illegal. It boggles the fucking mind.

Well, that’s it. Art is dead.

… that’s literally the point of a rubric.

I like the down votes. Maybe if you all don’t like it hard enough it will stop being true! Keep trying!

No it’s not!

Oh wait, nvmd yes it is.

It’s funny that you think there’s smart ones. Haha!

There’s also the games trap as MS gobbles up development studios left and right. I’m guessing that’s not a coincidence.

I’m personally not a fan of Steam, but HUGE props to Valve for thinking ahead.

Definitely NOT a slow coup going on, guys. Just normal democracy type stuff happening around here.

The answer is the Voters of Florida.

Drugs are expensive, bro.

I was buying some edibles a few weeks ago and the guy behind the counter told me this cheap brand was infused with “nano technology.” I laughed a hearty laugh and replied, “I’m sorry, did you just say those are infused with nano technology?” He looked me right in the eye and said, “yes.” I bought the $6, ‘nano technology infused’ edibles lol!

I might be, sure.

Not sure why you have a bug up yer bum about it I’m just fucking around, but okay.

EDIT: Also I’m totally serious about the helmet thing. Wear a damn helmet if you can afford it. Don’t care if it sounds naggy, it’s so important!

Good to see people finally stop being a bunch of reactionaries about it.

Artists make art using tools. AI is a tool. Bad artists still make bad art regardless of tools.

EDIT: Getting down voted by n00bs that don’t even know a DDIM from a Euler A but call folks ‘prompters’ like it’s derogatory.

I’m not sure what that jargon means, but I’ll take your word for it and cut the e-bikers some slack.

I will say some of the older models with less powerful electric engines felt different. The newer models I see look like they go very fast, even uphill. I would not want to get hit by one.

Good! Keep doing that.

EDIT: Down voting helmet safety? You all are strange, but okay.

I’m going to go ahead and say they’re actually motorized vehicles. They used to be called “mopeds” when they were powered by gas, but now they’re just regular bikes that happen to have motors and so get to use the bike lane too, I guess (yes I am cranky).

EDIT: Either way, those fools should be wearing helmets. Always always always wear a helmet.

Try to remember that Reddit spent years using algorithms and dark patterns specifically designed to addict you. I say this because I struggle with the same thing. I want off Reddit but have been visiting daily since 2011 so it’s not easy.

So don’t be too hard on yourself and keep weaning yourself off the habit. It may take some time but you can do it.

This was done to you, and it’s pretty damn insidious, but it’s not a severe gambling addiction or crack cocaine so ultimately it’s low stakes. You’ll get there and good for you for trying.

Okay so that cuts it. Every single AI model should be open source as they ALL use our collective knowledge. They should be treated like libraries, as publicly owned stores of knowledge for everyone’s use

I thought maybe Firefly was the one exception, although I suspected some kind of shenanigans. But nope. These corpos stole our collective knowledge and culture and are now ransoming it back to us for profit.

So, I was just on Reddit (I know) and it was pissing me off again because its a goddamn misogynist hellhole over there and I was like, “why the fuck am I here? I hate this place. Lemmy is always better.” Opened Lemmy up and this was on the top of my feed, which made me laugh and instantly feel better. Thank you!
