So it’s not a problem with AI. It’s just a problem for some mayfly companies that try to profit from the latest trend?

My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.

All music is derivative. And if you think the best vocalists or musicians should be the most popular I may have some shocking news for you. The idea that American pop stars are authentic is pretty funny.

Yeah Korean pop idol culture has some extremely toxic elements to it, but so does American celebrity culture. I don’t get the feeling that’s what’s bothering you though.

I mean I didn’t love it but the hate it gets seems a bit over the top. Would’ve been better as just an animated movie though.

I looked at an “AAA” game maybe twice in give or take the last decade and both times have regretted it. Indie games are the bomb.

You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

Man if you’re going to be a stupid racist at least try to make it funny. Black = KFC is just about the laziest stupidest “joke” and the bar for racists jokes is already pretty gd low

We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

This one paid off. Read the interviews given by mr Arbaugh. Musk is an ego-driven maniac, you won’t get any argument from me. But as a result a bunch of scientists got more funding than they normally would for this project that gave great joy and some measure of independence to a young quadriplegic, maybe with more to follow.

You want to hate on Musk? I’ll happily join you. But if you’re one of those assholes rooting against these doctors and scientists doing ground breaking work with Musk’s money, that’s a pretty terrible take.

Hired goons?

Scientrix?

where is teh luv? teh loev? the luv?

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

Because we all decided that shit and free is better than good and paid

Man I need a replay of the whole series. Thanks for the reminder <3

What will keep you safe is not selling your business to a mega corp.

Why would you ask a bot to generate a stereotypical image and then be surprised it generates a stereotypical image. If you give it a simplistic prompt it will come up with a simplistic response.
