The ad is admittedly arse, but I can't really blame people for not seeing positive usecases for AI. It's pretty advanced and complicated tech with many applications that aren't immediately obvious, or don't work with the AI systems people know. Google isn't going to highlight cool stuff like RAG or document interaction, because you'll probably want to run that shit locally for privacy or bandwidth reasons. I run Llama 3.1, Florence 2 and a bunch of other stuff on my machine and love it. It's search on steroids. I can ask my PC "hey, that offer I submitted to client X a couple years back, what was my hourly rate back then?", and just get the answer. I also use a bunch of image models in editing, for stuff like background removal, touch-ups (inpainting), relighting and what not. And it's obviously very useful when writing code, though I mostly use it to write documentation for me, or have the AI explain code written by somebody else.

I know a guy who made a full stack webapp that takes subscriptions using Sveltekit and Supabase...he doesn't know any code.  All querying the Claude Sonnet 3.5 API.
It's fantastic.

(I know is not the same, but that is what you sound like to normies. Like, I understand Uncle point about the Fallout UI made by AI… but for the normal eye looks like cheap shit).

Yeah Milo was thrown in the trash because he talked about pedo stuff on some old podcasts so that's a strange example

He produced an app that earns him money.  People seem to think it's useful.  I thought the anecdote more referred to the ability to expand one's horizons and use their skillset to create something valuable for other people.

It's the opposite of lazy - He is skilled in other areas, which is why he is able to earn a profit from the app.  He brought those skills forth and he didn't have to pay an app developer to do this, he did it himself.

An experienced full-stack webdev can use AI to make much bigger, more sophisticated projects in shorter periods of time.  Everyone wins.

Not saying you are wrong, but the normie impression is contrary, specially because there are assholes that actually don’t have talent in other areas and use AI.

I've noticed this more and more, so much more that I trained my eyes to look for other tells when someone is turning. It's a bit frustrating and I can't pinpoint when this happened, but it's incredibly annoying and dangerous.

Luckily I'm not really on highways much, but if I was, I would be road raging like crazy.

AI is fantastic, literally a new super power.

[Propagandhim]

That is the Nepenthe mentality: complain about people who have the ambition, sense, and gumption to use all available tools and skills to produce something that other people find valuable.  Then, when it earns them money, complain that they had the resources and privilege ahead of time, or complain about the tool itself - when this amazing thing is sitting right in front of everyone to use right now.  And, at no point see the value in the thing produced itself or what it does for other people.  The focus is how you're getting screwed, yet again, because someone else succeeded.  I don't buy these weird moral arguments about how AI is lazy or cheating - if it helps you produce something useful, then use it.  Otherwise, sit at home in your parents house in your 30s, stocking mountain dew at Walgreens, watching Bluey on Discord and complaining about entire groups of people being the cause of all your problems.  Okay, I kind of took a leap there.  But you get it.



To quote the great kamala harris: What can be is what has been unburdened by AI, perchance.  The future is learning how to harness this power, not irrationally railing against it.

Even if that is the case, you can easily spin it to say she’s referring to the trans pedo.

It is a mostly useless mechanic but dunno why the need to remove it when they need all the goodwill they can after Dead Rising 4.  

Unless they are making a new game, I don’t think people will care for an old ass remnant of 2006 freedom pervert humor. They are just inviting people to get uppity and hyper critical.

I haven't played it since it was first released, but isn't the point that Frank West is a shitty papparazzi who lucks into a real story, so rating all his photos on the TMZ scale is part of the satire?

Uh excuse me, Frank West has covered wars. Show some respect please

I already bought Dead Rising twice. Don't need to get it a third time, as the last version I bought has 60fps and looks alright.

That dog thread   Even better is the "I quit my job a few hours into my first day" thread on GAF that they talk about but one of the mods has obviously deleted the link to https://www.neogaf.com/threads/gaf-ive-made-a-huge-mistake-job-related.1185119/

They have a filter that automatically blocks GAF links and old Bore links. Who knows what else.

I don't like how companies can effectively delete content for a write off. But I have no love lost for an r rated comedy, so I'm not invested in this one in particular getting saved.

YOU CANNOT DO A TAX WRITE OFF IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANYONE CLAIMING OTHERWISE IS AN IDIOT. BATGIRL REALLY BROKE SOME PEOPLE'S BRAINS.

Nobody understood that that whole thing had to do with the fact that ownership changed and the old Warner ownership marked up the value of stuff and the new owners said "no, this is worthless" but the previous owners already took tax credits on it. They had to destroy the stuff or pay for it. Either that or commit accounting fraud. They were always mad at the wrong people.

They didn't even have the integrity to cite their sources:

I wanted kids all my life. I hit the point i have now fully fucking given up ever having kids cause i know i can't afford them. we get by as it is. I'm still a bit mentally devastated but i'm in the second half of my life, it's just never happening now.

Even just writing this out makes me tear up.

FUCK LIFE AND FUCK RICH PEOPLE

If it wasn't for rich people then the price of having children would never come down. You're again mad at the wrong person.

What strikes me as weird about the histrionics on the Cass Reports is that the basic findings weren't all that sexy/phobic/anything. It was boringly non-ideological.

The summary as I understand it is that the methodology was the big issue highlighted (poor sourcing/support on key findings, circular references between limited research bodies). I read through the Scientific American article, and Cal Horton at least is basically making her point for her...all of the studies I clicked through have his name on them, lol.

No, the findings were ideological. Because what it was contesting was the ideological conclusions of the "science" which didn't do any science to reach its conclusions. By adhering to the scientific process Cass was making an ideological claim that science is more valid than lived experience. You can see this if you read trans sources, especially like Erin Reed's "journalism", where the complaint is laid out. The problem with Cass was that she held the science to an actual scientific and medical standard and this is illegitimate. Trans science is supposed to be judged as always good because people want it.

Hopefully you all have learned some basic lessons from this, namely:

- Media is deliberately manufactured, and thus you should be aware of what messages any given piece of media is trying to impart upon you.

This is not what "manufacturing consent" means at all.

It also allows these people to get away for heinous shit for as long as possible because they fully understand open philanthropy disarms a capitalist-positive public from being able to critique them because they associate charitable giving with actual moral goodness (meaning people who can afford to give away millions are, in effect, better people than those who donate less or donate their time instead. How convenient for people advantaged by the system!)

No one but you or other weirdos like you thinks this.

- A white guy taking it upon himself to use impoverished Africans in bolstering his media empire is always an automatic red flag. ALWAYS

In essence, she's saying that white people should never publicly assist impoverished Africans.

Nepenthe prefers the Ted Danson form of philanthropy:

Now why would she say that?  Let's see what she's responding to

I've seen some discussion on whether or not this character design is considered sexualized in the typical sense or not. She is obviously showing some skin and the sides of her breasts so that ticks off some of the boxes on the bingo card. Some have said that it's fanservice but they don't necessarily find it sexy while others have said she has some masculine traits and that the design is more akin to men wearing a coat without an undershirt.

No wonder she posted a horny post.  Also, how long has she's been on break?

[benji]

I like that post because the sentence in the aside clearly means they'll be disappointed if they're Indigenous but you can also read it as saying they'll have an orgasm if the character is Indigenous.

Let's also appreciate the judging (presumably from a white person) on whether or not someone looks appropriately Indigenous enough to "count" (even though there is no such universal Indigenous appearance) and how this affects the value of the character existing to them.
