I love how quickly 'people don't wanna trust some rando on the internet telling them to switch to an operating system they know nothing about' is turned into 'they donno how to ask for help.'
Did we all forget how many folks had their computers fucked up from 'delete system32'?
I only have one fan but what if I became a fan person. To have one million different styled fans I could use on the tram on hot days. Set them to my outfit. Much to consider
I love the posts with the "corporations training AI models will alienate one of the biggest slices of their user base... Artists" because it's like. You believe that. There are so many layers to this. First of all, "artists are a big slice" is very debatable. Are you sure of that. Are you sure grandmas aren't a bigger slice? Just cause you have curated your timeline to your tastes and those are art, it doesn't mean everyone's doing the same. We've seen this with insta, with Facebook, with twitter. But even if it were true, this slice would have to be generating something for the corporations to care, and that something would have to be non-fungible. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, art is quite fungible and they don't care if they're looking at something man-made or AI-generated, provided it's giving them what they want to see. It's easy to think otherwise when you're surrounded by artist peers but I promise you there are other spheres of interests out there. And there's still the same old we are the product and how this is just one of the potential outcomes of that
Very quickly I realised I was dreaming (wrong job suggesting a different timeline in life, and one late acquaintance showing up), and thought how fast my brain likes to shift me to a different dream when I do that. So I kinda just said wait no first I wanna visit my friends who are far away and I dearly miss, and some of my characters who are fictional and can't be talked to IRL, and some dead relatives whose warm cheeks I can gently kiss
AND THEN I DID IT!!
(my characters were unavailable for interviews but they did write a note saying "th⭐nk you")
Mom Really was like I don't understand why you taking antidepressants it's normal to be sad sometimes you shouldn't take those you're normal like
Mom I'm normal because I've taken those as therapy for a while to allow my brain to recover from ILLNESS but maybe you do think I'm just lazy and loved to sleep 16h a day
