You are not permitted hot coffee, warm milk, or a yogurt drink. You are permitted 750g of cottage cheese, each day, for a month.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn’t belong…
I was expecting the article to provide a little more clarification on that point but I guess they decided to just leave it hanging.
My wife was more interested in the Louisa May Alcott house when she visited Mass for the first time!
Bots and grandparents getting fleeced by bots.
The only good adaptation of Avatar is the Ember Island Players’ version from Book 3.
He’s not going to “fail” in his second term. If anything, we should be glad his first term failed - that due to the chaos and incompetence of his administration they failed to achieve any of the horrific shit he had discussed on the campaign trail. His only legislative win was a tax cut for the wealthy.
Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 will make sure that doesn’t happen during a second administration. They will purge the civil service and restaff with party loyalists who won’t be held up by due process or legality.
The terrifying thing is not another Trump failure. The terrifying thing is if he and the Christian nationalists backing him succeed.
The death of creativity. Every game will be Starfield, overhyped and underconceived.
This is what, their fourth?
Funny how the Israelis are called “settlers” and the Palestinians are called “terrorists.”
There is no truth to this. A win in Oregon does not increase or decrease the chances of a future win in Oregon. The probabilities are fully independent of one another. There is no plausible means by which the probability of a future drawing selecting a ticket held in a particular state is affected by the residences of previous winning ticket holders.
The idea that “X just won, therefore X is on a roll and will continue to win” and “X hasn’t won in a long time, therefore X is overdue for a win and should win in the near future” are both examples of the Gambler’s Fallacy.
But people won’t want to slave away for my megacorp for starvation wages if we pay them not to work!
AI can make any blurry criminal look like George Lucas with the right LoRAs.
Sick list, but I’d point out that Dopethrone came out in 2000. One of the greatest sludge records of all time, and I’ve heard it called the heaviest record ever cut. Absolute banger.
Counterpoint: that’s exactly what a supervillain would want you to think.
That only disbenefits the consumer if the economy goes through deflation. If the economy more typically sees inflation then it disbenefits the lender.
The problem isn’t change in purchasing power of the funds, but death by a thousand cuts. An extra $30 a month sounds reasonable - just a dollar a day - but when you layer on several of these at once then it quickly adds up.
I said in my original post that just typing a prompt isn’t an example of skill. I stated that there are people who use both AI and non-AI tools in complex workflows that include a ton of manual work, and in those cases it’s disingenuous to write off the process as not being creative.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re arguing against, but it isn’t the position I took. Seems like a reading comprehension issue.
I’d welcome you to offer a rigorous definition of this supposedly well-known distinction. Computers don’t generate anything spontaneously. They always require some level of direction.
Are the outputs of VSTs not “computer generated”? You can fumble around on a keyboard just moving up and down until you find the pitch you want, and the software will output an orchestral swell of dozens of instruments that take years and years to master, with none of that effort expended by the one mashing the keyboard.
Is that sound computer-assisted or computer-generated in your estimation? Much the same with AI images. It’s not fundamentally different from any other computerized tool.
Depends on the workflow, in my opinion. There are people who just type “1girl lol” into a text box and there are some people who set up workflows with hundreds of steps including significant manual work done in Photoshop or GIMP.
Similarly nearly all music these days is made with a DAW, which enables you to selectively edit and combine performances that otherwise you wouldn’t be able to achieve. Drummer off beat? Quantize it. Want a string section but don’t know how to play violin? Use a synth. And certainly there are people who are overly reliant on those tools because their core music abilities aren’t very strong.
If you think any amount of computer assistance means that something isn’t art, then basically all music made since the 90s would also not be art. It’s not a binary. Any tool can be used tastefully or be used to mask an underlying lack of talent.
Agreed, the drops under the tongue are a lot easier to do at home than the needles. Though I’m not sure about delivery - for whatever reason my allergist always required me to pick them up in person from his office. Not sure if that’s regulation or just a quirk of that one practice.
