We all know liberals riot way more than republicans. It wasn't republicans looting those TVs in the name of BLM, toppling historic statues, or more recently fire bombing Teslas. It's those "peace loving' lefties. Middle aged white women are the best though...how much money did they throw at th...

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...

Slop is a universally accepted term for AI creations.

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...

How do you justify purchasing Android phones when Google has a history of “fucking over their own customers” too?

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

Great system we have here.

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.

Spang

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...

Apple didn’t apply tariffs to all those countries or those poor penguins.

Trump handed out more checks than Biden. In fact, Biden still owes me, like, $900!

Oh, I wasn’t aware of the 20 years of misery. Shit, I’m back in! Where do I sign?

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.

Spang

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...

Winnow wrote: ↑April 1, 2025, 4:34 pm Impressed yet?

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?

Winnow wrote: ↑April 1, 2025, 2:20 am Spang, who is your favorite artist that's not an abstract? I'll see what it creates so you can critique it compared to some of the original art.

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.

Winnow wrote: ↑March 28, 2025, 6:04 pm What kind of socialist are you?

Workers should own the means of production and have democratic control of the wealth they create. That’s it in a nutshell. There’s nothing about AI that will help to make that a reality.

…but the whole AI stuff as a whole does have some positive uses. What are some of these positive uses that actually work?

This whole woke/anti-woke discourse is ridiculous. To stay woke simply means to be aware of the injustices around you. That’s it.

As for the election. First of all, I'm glad it was a "blowout" so there's no drama this time.

Trump received less than 50% of the vote. That’s hardly a blowout by any definition.

I don’t think AI is going to do what you think it’s going to do. On paper it seems like a great idea: create any kind of content you want whenever you need it. But who’s going to buy your Aunt Jemima fan-fiction graphic novel? Or any AI novel for that matter? Why should anyone bother to read a book ...

Spang

I’m never going to appreciate your AI “art”. If you can create it with actual skill and talent, your Aunt Jemima fan faction will still be weird, but at least I can respect the effort that went into making it.

Israel is committing genocide, ethnic cleaning and collective punishment. Only in a world this shitty could anyone consider that to be going a little too hard.

Unless he’s worm food, Joe Biden, who has never been a fan of Roe and done fuck all since it’s been overturned, will be the Democratic nominee.

So, is Kid Rock woke? Is he a soccer mom? Because he recently emptied a magazine on a few cases of Bud Light.
