I’ve seen that roo in ever dive bar I’ve ever been to.

I still remember the headline. “Local Sexpot Killed in CIA Raid.”

Maybe I’m just over-hopeful, but I think “generations” is far too much of an overunderstatement. With the way that technology moves, I don’t think we’ll be waiting that long.

If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I’m all for it. Same goes for driver’s licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, “This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that,” and I just thought, “I sure fucking hope so.” I’m not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I’m dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it’s gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.

Sorted.

People that say that have never used AI art generation apps and are only regurgitating what they hear from other people who are doing the same. The amount of arm chair AI denialists is astronomical.

Goddamnit man, I was having a good day…

So, by his own admission, he never used AI before, had no idea how it works, and didn’t bother to research it much before throwing himself into the video. On top of that, his main concern seems to be that he’d already done a Wes Anderson parody, and he thought the AI’s version was worse. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he’s one of the thousands of doomsayers that I see every day now talking about how “AI WILL BE THE END OF TRUE ARTISTRY!!!”. Actually, that’s exactly what I’ll say, because for all of his hot air, he failed to actually make a point in the entire video. In one breath he would say that AI threatens to destroy all media, and then, in the next he’d say that AI is bad at everything it does and is completely unconvincing. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it, again; if your art can’t survive AI, you aren’t an artist. This guy is worried because AI is doing better parodies in an afternoon than he can do in a week, but true artists, like Wes Anderson, can’t be copied so easily. He’s so close, but he doesn’t quite get there, and that’s frustrating as a viewer. I hope he comes to grip with it, and learns that if he wants to keep milking that Youtube algorithm for his rent, he’ll have to either get with the times, or just get better.

I’m getting really close to just not using the internet anymore. I only use it to stream movies, and doom scroll lemmy right now, anyway. The only reason I have an email is for spam. Take awake the only facade of privacy I have and I may as well hang it all up and walk away.

Let’s sprinkle song crack on him and get out of here.

Let’s have a tissue tape parade!

I’ve missed this meme.

Holy shit some of the bait replies in that thread. Whew, that’s a minefield.

What kind of backwards-ass bullshit AI generator do they use for this? First try, “pride of lions in the jungle by a river” and this is what I get. I didn’t even try…

I agree, I almost passed on the video because the song is so overplayed, but this was REALLY awesome.

Use a test finger.

Lucca got a glow up.

I pulled a crazy guy off of a gas station attendant after he’d been hosed down with a gallon of the shit. I was covered in it afterwards, too, because it rubbed off on me and my clothes. I had to go to work with that shit soaking into my skin. I can say from prolonged personal experience, I don’t want ANY mace, human, bear, or fucking manatee, on me, ever. That shit sucks.

I definitely appreciate any punch that gets thrown in a Nazi’s direction, but I agree, stay safe. If you have a can of industrial strength bear mace, use that, instead. Really get in in their holes, too. Mouth, ear, and nose. If you are brave enough, try other holes, too. Every hole filled with bear mace is one less hole spewing vile hate speech.
