Woah now. A lot of good artist are using AI tools now. Is it still art if they use AI to enhance or even create elements?

There is also an interesting parallel here with art forms that were considered disruptive in the past. I am thinking of photography and how upset painters were with their work being replaced by a machine.

So is AI just the next photography? Is there no art in let’s say a carefully crafted prompt. How is this different from a photographer stealing a painters business with a press of a button. Is this not even lazier than a well thought out prompt.

I don’t pretend to have these answers, but it has got me thinking.

That makes sense.

How can you not feel it driving? That is kind of scary that you are that absent minded while driving.

Jokes on them, those tire pressure sensors are the first thing I don’t replace. I just visually check my tires and put a pressure gauge on them if they look suspect.

It started way back in the days of cable. I remember how jarring it was to see a music video on MTV that kept changing camera shots. I was like, “you don’t even get enough time to get a good look at the band or the scene.” Then it got worse, way worse.

They have been programming people for short attention spans forever now and I hate it.

By the time you launched and assembled one in orbit their hardware would already be outdated. Sounds like a great plan!

Solar roadways are the future! Driving on solar panels is the only way forward. Until all our roads are solar we will never be free people.

You had me until you mentioned manufacturing consent. Not that the concept isn’t real, just the revelation that the person who coined it was likely a pedophile enabler and involved in a vast criminal conspiracy.

Lol, ISIS is willingly giving up all their information to be tracked!? This has got to be some bullshit propaganda or they are the stupidest terrorists ever.

Cool, so AI will be replacing the managers first.

The sneakernet and hard drives are the future. We never needed the Internet to share.

Yes, I am very intrigued. For something the size of half a shipping container I could power my house for almost a month. This is of course fantasy because I don’t have $20,000 to throw down. But combine it with solar cells that have gotten really cheap and you could indefinitely power your house for next to nothing.

It feels like the majority of all news links for videos all go back to X. It is disgusting.

I have been looking into it. It is a combination of WIPO (which is a trade organization promoted by corporations that are against 3D printing in general) and Billionaire Bloomberg’s Everytown.

There are some other notable players as well but these are the two main forces. At first glance Everytown seems like a sensible organization. As I dig deeper it appears they want to counter balance the NRA, but they are not anti-gun at all.

This leads me to believe that they are just an alternative NRA (which has been used as a tool to increase gun sales for years).

I will keep on researching it.

You are simply wrong, this legislation is being pushed by gun manufacturers.

I don’t know, I am going to have to call BS on the idea that Kamala Harris would have dismantled the consumer protection bureau. On the other hand the Republicans have been trying to hamper it for awhile.

I agree that ultimately corporations are going to call the shots and they wanted it gone.

Trump says consumer protection laws cost us money silly, we don’t need them.

Gorilla marketing, when you charge at someone and stop right before you fuck them up and then offer to sell them something.

Nope, it is about competition with the firearms industry.

Yeah, that was some serious ninja editing.
