“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures...

It's like calling up your cable company and yelling at the customer service agent about your poor internet. Here's a hint, that customer service agent doesn't give a shit about your internet and it helps nothing to berate them and yell at them. No cable company has ever disappeared or brutalized hu...

In designating “ANTIFA” a “MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION” in a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump has identified this regime as an anti-anti-fascist regime. Or, more simply, a fascist regime.

That’s not a Bob Ross original.

Your idea of the future is bleak and sad. I hope for the sake of humanity, it doesn’t become reality.

I disagree with the first point. AI can do improv. You even mention the actors being given a single "prompt" which is exactly what AI takes as input. Every "prompt" you give AI, it instantly changes to that prompt and creates whatever it is...story, image, video, etc. AI is lite...

give any thespian friends you have a dollar because they'll be out of work sooner rather than later. I don’t know if you’re familiar with long-form improv, but it involves a group of actors who, after being given a simple prompt from the audience, create a scene from scratch. So that a scene doesn’...

Is this good? The July jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls expanded by 73,000 last month, well beneath the consensus estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones that called for a 100,000 increase to payrolls. Prior months were significantly revised down. June job growth totaled just 14,000, down fr...

It’s no secret that Bill Clinton, like his good buddy Donald Trump, is a sex pest.

In case you were wondering where we are in the timeline, the President of the United States of America is considering pardoning a convicted child sex trafficker in order to “exonerate” himself of any sex crimes he likely committed.

Spang you really should look up the word "anti-" There is a massive distance between anti and non. Just because someone isnt calling them selves anti-fascists, like the weirdos you are unwittingly following, does not make everyone else pro. Are you saying Trump is not a fascist? Because h...

Once I got over the culture shock of rushing everywhere and having to avoid the Night’s Tide, this game became incredibly fun.

Creating art should be a hobby that you do for your personal enjoyment. AI is exactly that for me. You’re not creating art, you’re typing a prompt. The sense of accomplishment a person feels when they create actual art will never be achieved by simply typing a prompt. The process of creating art is...

I don't see a solution to "the big picture" beyond the eventual hope that AI gets so good and for some unknown reason the wealthy agree to give up their wealth. That’s never going to happen. The greediest and most evil people in the world are never going to give up their power for the gre...

Trump is considering giving up on ending the Russia/Ukraine war he promised to end in his first 24 hours in office. This is because he’s not actually good at making deals. It’s why he can only sign executive orders rather than working with a Republican-controlled Congress. Trump is a grifter and a f...

And now the Dow is surging upward (so far). All because Trump decided to pause this whole tariff thing (except for China).

Unfortunately for me, premium phones break just as often as cheap phones. That includes the first 10 years of the iPhone 2007-2017 that I bought a new one every year or every other year. 4 ipads, plenty of ipods before that. Owned a Mac Plus in the late 1980's. I even bought some 27 inch iMac integ...

I don’t think an economic system that crashes every few years as a feature is a good system.

That's about how it worked out. I went with a 16 Pro as opposed to the 16 Pro Max which I think is too big. The 6S battery was holding in there so I could have kept waiting but there is too much uncertainty with the tariff situation. No telling how much phones will jump in price in the next 6 month...

Making money is kind of important, especially in a capitalist system that commodifies everything and doesn’t guarantee that everyone’s basic human needs are met.

Why would people stop creating art unless they were only doing it for profit to begin with? They're not trying to turn a profit, they’re trying to pay rent and buy groceries. They're selling their labor. If they’re lucky, their art will be enough, but too often artists require other sources of inco...

Surprisingly, no.

AI couldn't have created any of the so-called art in this thread and elsewhere if actual artists hadn’t already created it first. At some point, AI is going to run out of other people’s work. How will AI “create” new art when no new art is being created?

No, that’s too easy. Instead, I want to see the same image above, in the Studio Ghibli style, during different times of day, between sunrise and sunset.
