with all respect: i'm losing touch with what AI does because i have no interest in it and it's not my business. nobody worries about me losing touch with developments in particle physics or artificial bull insemination. it's not my fault the richest guys on earth want me to make their toy my life

two photos with the caption "Which is creepier, this animatronic Elvis I ripped the face of while disassembling it, or this selfie with me wearing it's face?" The first picture shows a partially disassembled animatronic Elvis with a pink spot where the face is supposed to be. The second photo is a selfie of a person wearing the animatronic Elvis face like a Halloween mask.
