Are you from. Texas? If so then you’re in luck.

Netflix didn’t have a choice but to get into production and producers were going to see their money anyways and get into streaming. There was only one way forward that was sensible for both groups.

Sounds like her panties were public knowledge but generally yeah don’t be gooning that hard.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Well I guess any citizens or service members abroad are gonna get shafted out of their vote.

OP learned that day the difference between correlation and causation.

Reminds me of my grandfather who thought the relative location of icons on the desktop would be reflected in the file manager. It was quite a struggle to explain to them that wasn’t one of the sorting options.

Anywhere you go on this earth nothing is illegal if you have enough power and leverage.

It’s a slippery slope. Listening to a bunch of podcasts while driving will fix that.

Worse comes to worse there’s decent local organic providers for a lot of things.

At this point just switch to whole grains and make everything yourself. Buy whole wheat and make flour. Buy soybeans and make your own tofu and so on. They can’t mess that up, can they?

It’s a tool like any other. If used correctly it can provide a great value to the world. If used incorrectly then in this case it can also do the opposite. AI isn’t good or bad intrinsically. It boils down to our relationship to it. The same can be said for all the other tools, radio, television, internet and so on.

This is a very old discussion and argument, much older than the current AI push. You’re right to a degree but also that hasn’t stopped the rise of strong minds for software development. There will always be the curious and the lazy. The curious will always want to know how things work from the chain of events of a button click to the pixel shifts and logic gate flips to display code on a screen as well as run it. There will also always be the lazy unencumbered by such a desire for awareness who just want the magic box to do the thing.

How many software devs can write in assembly? Not many. Not much has changed if anything beyond the ability of the unaware to see their will come into creation. People couldn’t make realistic images and now they snap selfies with no barriers to entry. Does that make them a photographer or an artist? Not really.

Ok is not ok

Have done this, it’s good. Excessive but good.

Yeah when you don’t get an onrep it gets rough. Any sailor who’s done a deployment knows to squirrel away some food for these occasions.

I’m aware. I find sometimes wrapping things up in a single word doesn’t get the full story across.

Just separate the internet into three areas. Human only posts and content, human and AI posts and content, and AI mostly.

You’ll see them respond two ways. Either they will argue a child can pull a trigger the same as an adult or that a child today is a soldier tomorrow. Ultimately they see them like any perpetrator of any genocide sees their victim, as a disease. Mental separation is really the only way people can cause harm to one another. We don’t kill father’s with children in war, we kill the enemy. The language around every genocide essentially revolves around the other group being a disease. They aren’t men, women, and children, they are rats or cockroaches or something to that effect.

It was mid, not a cluster fuck like the last season of game of thrones.
