feels like an endless loop of these AI bros announcing their latest AI grift to the public and it being received by the public like a fart at a funeral. oh it doesn't have weird hands anymore? it was never about the weird hands. it's slop, it's based on stolen work, it's bad for the environment.

"how about paying real money for this simulacrum of the arts? we have none of the talent or creativity required to create art, but do have a strong desire to earn a passive income off it so here's more of this water guzzling slop that no one wants"

I love how careless and sloppy you can be with water. Fill that glass up as fast as you want. Get it all over the place. Doesn't even matter. Soda drinkers wish they had even a fraction of this power.

children's picture books would tell you what sir Issac newton's waistcoat looked like and that the alderman is a vegetarian in a single breath. bring back the long ass sentence!

let's bring back extremely long sentences. they used to go ON back in the day. describing someone's countenance and how agreeable or disagreeable it is or describing a room or someone's jacket? good luck to ai making it through the description of a dinner table and its guests without hallucinating

Oscar the Grouse @brickgrouse.bsky.social · 28d

no offense to usamerica, but the decades spent devaluing subjects like history is really showing with these "political violence has no place in this country" comments. political violence has a place of honour in the usa

here's the primary bedroom. yes that's an ensuite bathroom. yes guests and also the second bedroom occupant would need to cross through the room to access it.

here's bedroom one. it comes with not one but three sliding glass doors and appears to be roughly the size of a patio.

This patio sized room is one of two bedrooms in this condo unit. It appears to also have another sliding glass door separating it from the second bedroom.
