There are some things a person simply cannot learn to do for lack of talent. I have spent decades trying to learn to draw. I simply cannot. This does not relieve AI of the myriad ethical issues, but it does make the case for using software to create pictures.

I had a joke about Shadowrun but I didn't have enough dice to tell it properly.

"Mondo Mayo is guided by our Core Principles: - Good things are better than bad things. - “Yes, Boss. Great idea, Boss.” - More leaders mean more leadership." Now THAT is an excellent work culture.

*sigh* is anyone else just going to put their phone on Do Not Disturb & watch '9 to 5' & 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' back to back this week? 😕

This guy is such a fucking hack. I'm sure he has no problem with the Republicans who try to distance themselves from Trump on the campaign trail when it's convenient then vote in lockstep with Der Fuhrer as ordered.

"I mean you've been trying, Trump and Hegeseth have been firing, though. All the black male generals, too." Which is surprising, considering their opposition to Equal Opportunity.

While I of course appreciate the efficiency of AI monitoring, I'm going to choose option C, because idle hands are the mutant commie traitor scum's playground.

Scott, you clearly don't understand how Supreme Court jurisprudence has always worked: form your conclusions first, then hold a show trial, then write your opinion. Facts are supplemental and optional. Thus has it ever been, thus shall it ever be.

In the rare instance people do know what they want for a solution, they usually don't see second- or third-order issues with their proposed solutions, again because of lack of experience and knowledge of the subject.

Instagram post from Loryn Brantz. Text reads,

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.
Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.
This is an assault on artists everywhere.
I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

There are multiple ways to look at the inverse as well. When I was in theater, the best advice I got was "Don't ask why you didn't get this role. Ask why you did get that role."

Never play for money when you're teaching someone poker, for it is uncharitable and unwise. Either they really haven't played before and you're taking advantage of their ignorance, which is uncharitable; or they have and you're letting them take advantage of yours, which is unwise.

I wouldn't recommend it. You don't know where that mouth has been, but giving rimjobs to rich people isn't out of the question.

I think you're missing the point here, Scott. She's trying to soften people up as another attack vector to protect Darth Cheeto from Epstein revelations. "I was just trying to reverse population decline!"

Definite agree on the Christianity part. I had a college professor (I prefer not to say how long ago, but not so long as ALL that) who was convinced that everyone was conversant with any Biblical reference, no matter how obscure, because they are pervasive throughout Western literature.

At this point I'm not sure if people are being unreasonably obstinate about AI or if tech companies are being - let's call it overenthusiastic about shoving the technology down our collective throats. I'm thinking it's a bit of both.

Also, and I can't stress this highly enough, while the Supreme Court may have given Trump carte blanche for any crimes he commits under color of law, if and when he gets impeached again Congress gets to set the punishment, up to and including the death penalty.

To be fair, the last couple Popes have been very leftist on immigration. It's the US cardinals who have been difficult. They're still assholes about everything else, and I still haven't forgiven them for the whole "hide the kiddie diddlers" thing, but this is an improvement.
