The creativity was done already by the people who made what the AI is using to “create” its derivative garbage.

Just got a call from another real estate scammer looking to buy our house. I told them $3 million. They hung up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Leo Laporte should probably throw in the towel at this point. I’ve never seen someone fall so far from becoming a champion of tech to an out-of-touch curmudgeon. “CES is pointless.” “Wicked was a terrible movie.” “I’m on a show about Apple, but don’t think anything Apple does is worthwhile.”

Is there a tool, AI or otherwise, that would allow me to upload a diagram of a room in my house with all the furniture placements and measurements and then tell it: “Rearrange this room in a way to maximize space/efficiency?”

How do we have 800 of these articles and none contend with the fundamental issue which is rich liberals don’t want to fund left media, they want to fund liberal media which is bloodless and partisan, by definition. GOP courts its extremes, liberals discipline theirs. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/u...

Republicans Built an Ecosystem of Influencers. Some Democrats Want One, Too.

Democrats were badly outflanked online in the election, and progressive influencers are now trying to create networks to be a left-wing answer to Turning Point USA.

impressive Bill Gates was the subject of a brutal NYT report about how he met multiple times with post-conviction Jeffrey Epstein, his wife of 27yrs divorced him over it, then he produced some Netflix hagiographies of himself, gave $50 million to the Harris campaign and everyone just forgot about it

Lovely time had at @moviehistories.bsky.social film club with a POV noir caper. Was not expecting the gimmick to sustain itself Montgomery as director nails it fairly well! Another fab outing with fine film pals!

I've decided to hawk the book and the game once and precisely once this entire holiday season, so I figured I'd get in a head start before you're all inundated, and today's the day. Dog not included.

While it’s exciting to see this place grow, let’s temper expectations. Because until this place becomes a hub for live/breaking news, it won’t be the “town square” we’re all hoping for.

The anti-TikTok/social media rhetoric being echoed across mainstream media and govt today reeks of the post-Crash anti-Communist sentiment that got its foothold in the ‘20s as labor realized capitalism wasn’t going to save them and embracing communist/socialist ideology was the way out of poverty.
