HUMAN ARTIST, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

man

it do be like this sometimes

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

You do have to hand it to him in that he's finding new and innovative ways to devalue the U.S. dollar.

I'm sure someone else has already done it but I had to get it out of my system.

Oh you won an argument? With me? An idiot? Good job buddy

The urge to hold onto every penny you get because industry sucks and job might evaporate but also prices are rising so things might be as cheap as they’ll ever be

Not sure if it's exactly what you are looking for but there's an option in the toolbar called "Rectangle links" which makes it look like this:

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying.

So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product.

It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

🎬 The arts aren’t a luxury - they’re an export.

At #Lab25, @aiannucci.bsky.social reminds us that the UK’s Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy and 7% of our workforce - the GDP equivalent of oil + car industries combined.

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

It's very telling that the far left refuses to support huge pieces of shit who everyone hates

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

100% agree with this. The need for everything to be reused as much as possible takes away so much of the magic of games.
It also leads to games being extremely long and overly repetitive.

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

Well said!!

Excellent. I do wonder how the poor people who work on these features feel about it. In the case of the sales person I guess you see a glimpse as you majestically tumble away?

I mean specifically without reading them

Does everyone close pop-ups telling you about new features as soon as possible or is that just me?

Are seed oils actually bad for your health? Here's the science behind the controversy Health Secretary RFK Jr. has said vegetable oils, like canola and soybean, are 'poisoning Americans.' But many researchers say the evidence isn't there. So, what does the science say about seed oils?

Sometimes I love the Swedish language.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

If Unreal can switch to Y up, America can switch to the metric system.

Original Watch Dogs was supposed to be a Driver: Nexus apparently Driver series has been on a hiatus ever since Watch Dogs appeared and it was previously known the former had been scrapped in favour of the latter but their nature now seems to be even more intertwine...
