I don’t know where to go and I don’t know where I’ve been. I hate the map system so fucking much.

I love how quickly it falls apart if you vary it slightly.

This isn't hard. If a human intelligence doesn't infringe copyright by being an artist while reading a comic, then a photocopier doesn't either.

Oh wait.

It really only takes 3 steps.

1. Hire a personal chef to prep individual meals for everyone.
2. Find several miracle snacks that your kids love, that you won’t want to eat.
3. Convince everyone at every kid’s activity to hire the same personal chef and serve the same miracle snacks.

Done.

Ah, sorry. I’ll leave the levity aside then.

You’re smart and dedicated in a way that allows to you excel at things you take on, and in the process you’ve developed a wide range of new skills and capabilities that are impressive to see.

Today might suck. You don’t. It’ll work out eventually.

It’s complimenting your excellent taste in friends!

(Friends who choose you too because you’re amazing in your own right.)

Smart, entertaining and funny are all accurate ways to describe your friends.

Do you think this could result in protestors at Disneyland Pride Night? Hard to take Pride Night seriously when Disney is doing this.

That’s why I included an archive link from 2021. You can’t make up archive links.

And just to ensure there’s no doubt of the upload date, here’s an archived copy of the site with the same photo in January 2021. https://web.archive.org/web/20210105021857/https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/social-distancing-during-covid-19-pandemic-gm1214516643-353394652

It’s not AI. It was uploaded in 2020 before generative AI was a thing. https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/social-distancing-during-covid-19-pandemic-gm1214516643-353394652

One thing I’d love for you to cover more is to go into why it’s important to probe what generative AI fails at.

Casey seems to think it’s just gotcha stuff, but it’s important for understanding how the system works and why it has certain limitations.

Right. And if it were learning, that might be valid. But with a complex mix and match engine, it’s just infringement. They use terms like learning to obfuscate that it’s a remixing tool that’s not legally protected.

You’ve convinced me that I need to write and draw an updated version of the Elves and the Shoemaker for email jobs.

I like to think of generative AI like one of those kid mix and match toys. There’s no learning, just variations.

And the more specific the prompt, the less variation from the original images.

Since it doesn’t have mixable parts when you ask for a movie screencaps, it just recreates known ones.

Clayface is now just a guy who tripped in a puddle.

That makes sense. At some point social media (mainly Twitter) became less about community for me and more about a false moral obligation to be a witness.

I’m gonna be honest, from 2016-2020, I think I sought out “news” to justify my anger. But it didn’t help me help anyone else.
November 15, 2024 at 3:46 AM
I know the worst of the terribleness won’t hit Canada until next year, but I think this cycle I want to find more people who offer small ways to help. My brain can’t handle the rage fear cycle for another four years again.
November 15, 2024 at 3:41 AM
I’ve added a new rule too. I’m gonna block anyone who rage farms other people’s pain if they don’t demonstrate that they’re trying to help those people in other ways.

I’m really thrilled how many of my niche communities are actually transitioning this time.

The other side of this is that if a company was manufacturing in America, tariffs on their imports may actually make it cheaper to import the final product than to import the materials with tariffs and produce here.

None of this helps American manufacturing in these cases.
