That’s sound logic, and I appreciate you clarifying your tone. My apologies if I reacted too strongly! However, I would ask if there is a case of AI hate against some media that does not have poor quality AI slop in it? Not including unreleased products. My position is that I am anti-AI for 2 reasons. It is soulless and low quality. The soulless thing, sure, is ideology. But I’ve yet to see an example of AI art use that didn’t have some inhuman flaw.

I completely agree. We have had placeholder art since the 80s, and never needed AI for it. They are seeing what gets past us so they don’t need to replace it.

But it is related. Because they keep using AI and it keeps turning into low quality shit. Toy Story took effort and imagination and skill to animate, and at the end, it looked incredible. When I was a kid and Toy Story came out, I wasn’t looking at it and saying “how lazy these animators are to not draw this” I was saying “I’ve never seen anything like this before!”. They took the tools they invented and played into its strengths. It made plasticy lifeless unreal looking humans, so they made the main characters toys. Toy Story is actually the perfect counter example to this AI bullshit, because it was obviously made with skill and love, and AI use keeps showing us it is a lazy shortcut to shitty work.

When poor quality work gets into the game? Yeah. I’d rather just not buy new games if they’re gonna give me slop like this. If they don’t have the decency to care about the quality of their work, why should I?

It’s good to read news that makes me proud to be an american

I’ve found so many of the oreo flavored peanut butter cups and so few of the Reeses flavored cookies, which sound much better.

I love everything about this.

I don’t know all the details, but something that struck me as odd was the fact that this was the first WHC dinner that Trump was going to, famously being too cowardly to go to the others for fear of being mocked. Why go to this one, when his approval rating is in the toilet?

Now-a-days, it’s really hard to tell…

That sounds like Trump to me

When I was young, I had energy but no money. When I’m older, I’ll have money but no energy. It’s only now in my 30s and 40s that I have… neither. 😔

Ask it for a picture with no elephants.

Nurses are either brilliant, wonderful, helpful people, joe-schmoe’s looking to make a buck, or radical traditionalist women who think that it’s ok to be a nurse because it’s women’s work.

…40k?

Yeah, isn’t politico owned by a Trump ally?

Nah. That’s bad. I don’t care what most people think. Treating people with empathy is good. Treating people as objects is bad.

But why is it a beneficial for other humans to be happy? Why do you like that? That is empathy.

🤷‍♂️ Yeah, kinda. What metric are you using?

They may experience it differently, but if they can act on it, they will be good people. Without being able to act on empathy, no matter how you perceive it, you cannot be good, and refusing to act with empathy towards people and other lives on earth is bad.

You don’t have to be shown. All it takes to be a good person is empathy. All it takes to be a bad one is its lack.
