it's really fucked up that because of the AI Hayao Miyazaki won't be able to sit down and animate all those movies anymore, because the machine will do it and give all the credit for his singular hard work to some guy at the top who didn't even animate anything

honestly sometimes stories where characters have self awareness and solve their problems maturely can be really refreshing sometimes. and sometimes it feels like therapyspeak slop. intense stories where no one is capable of understanding themselves and act out in incorrect ways can be very fun. and sometimes it feels like contrived bullshit. whatever makes "a good story" is harder to make happen than just using the right kind of characters using the right words

"AI will make students slap together slop assignments with no critical thinking"

School already does that. LLMs simply streamline the process, enabling teachers to saddle their students with more slop-generation assignments, thus maximizing total school district gross slop output. This will prepare them for their future job plugging in proper names to the same 5 prewritten email drafts

I still think it’s objectively fucked how the world is built for morning people and if you wake up later than everyone else you’re seen as a malicious aberration of some sort. I am that but it’s not because I wake up at 11 fuck yourself

They gotta invent a way to shower and use the computer at the same time. I hate it when I really want to edit something or work on music but I have to go to the wet world to get the cringe sweat aura off my fail meatvessel

person who draws current seasons anime girl 3 cup sizes larger staring vacantly at the viewer would like for you to know what kind of art they consider "soulless"

So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?

Tragedy? Delicious.

A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.

A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.

Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.

Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.

The food post reminded me of when I was watching a stream that fredrik knudsen was on and he was talking about the juicero and then went on this rant about how the tech CEOs want to take the humanity out of your life but used making food as an example and how tech CEOs didn't understand the joy of making your own food and how only "tech bros" would enjoy the concept of instant meal pills and it felt like I was listening to a space alien talk. I dunno maybe if you're a youtube essayist who sets your own schedule you take joy in making your own meals but when you're coming home tired from work at 8PM sometimes gas station hot bar food is what you go for rather than making your own meal. Like hell yeah sometimes I would in fact like a pill that could act as every meal. Baffling 'to toil is to be human' moment!

i hate to tell people this but i would love instant meal pills. and i'm a very talented home chef and i love cooking (it's the only thing i will suffer through my arthritis to force myself to do nowadays).

what do you think accessibility means? vibes? papers? essays?

a significant portion of bad AI discourse happens because people are not sufficiently rigorous in disambiguating "AI", the cultural object into which the bourgeoisie have deposited all their hopes and dreams for a world where they no longer depend upon the proletariat, and which mostly serves the practical purpose of driving investment, with Neural Networks/Large Language Models, the technologies that exist in real life with actual use cases and actual limitations--or indeed in realizing that such a disambiguation is necessary
