We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

the fact that any ai wrapper raised any money at all is staggering. the point of ai is that it can do anything. i understand DX, or fine tuning studios, but if your product involves an end user passing tokens to a foundation model, rip. you are at best, an affiliate marketer

Jack liked the bsky idea because he thought by turning Twitter into a protocol he would be excused from having to do the messy community work that’s the actual hard part of social media - an ethos that almost destroyed bsky in the beginning and still lies at the root of all their bad decisions.

They brought Clone High back. Clone High!

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

George W Bush mission accomplished meme

Tropic Thunder couldn't be clearer in its thesis that War is not a movie. The idea of the film came to Stiller after seeing a bunch of actors on Empire of the Sun treat the experience like they went to war and how off putting that was.

Leftists? In my decentralized technoanarchist free speech protocol?

it just doesn't bother me like it bothers young people

perhaps this website attracts 38 year olds because its no problem for us to post on a forum where all the mods are huge pieces of shit that everybody hates

Humanity’s last great achievement was the Page-a-Day Far Side Calendar.

“We destroyed 30 ships.” Does that mean ships can pass through the strait of Hormuz? “We dropped dozens of 2K bombs on underground launchers.” Does that mean commercial airliners can fly through?
