Where on the internet is the anti-AI crowd at large talking about divine sparks of creativity? I am the only person I’ve seen saying that the only way you get an AI that can truly replace workers is by birthing a new intelligence and then it is wrong to enslave it. I didn’t know there were others!
I mean this is exactly it, right? If instead of posting a new job, you canvass the people who applied months ago, then anyone who says yes has been out of work for months and will probably accept whatever shitty wages and conditions you offer. You are guaranteed a strong bargaining position.
I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.
Beau of the Fifth Column has a great way of dealing with this sort of bigoted joke actually, “Huh? I don’t get it. What’s funny about that? What’s the joke?”
And just like… watch them realise they can’t explain it without sounding like a monster.
And to anyone who would say that jokes are like frogs, you can’t dissect them without killing them: you’ve never seen a good comedian break down a joke. It is hilarious, it’s all in the telling. If you need to rely on shock to get your laughs then you’re not actually funny. You fell into the shock-jock trap of “oh that got a reaction; that must be funny”, not realising that people also laugh when they’re uncomfortable, and all you’re doing is being an asshole.

They do great when they cherry pick someone with no media training who is the easiest target they can find, someone so socially inept they thought going on Fox fucking News without any support was a good idea.
You’d be great at beating up a toddler in a dark alley if you really wanted to, but that wouldn’t make you a good fighter, it would make you a predator.
Make the arguments yourself if you think they’re so great, what you linked is just bullies ganging up on someone. There aren’t really arguments to be seen at all.
I’m not going to defend her as a person, I’m happy with people not liking her for all sorts of reasons, but calling her not attractive is bizarre. It’s the sort of thing that a teenage girl sees and gets insecurities about, because “if she doesn’t qualify as attractive then I must be hideous”.
Honestly my appreciation of beauty got much better when I realised I was unconsciously judging everyone by every little flaw they had because I had picked up this judgemental devil on my shoulder that was ready to laugh at me if I found the wrong sort of person attractive. I changed my attitude from “where are their flaws?” to “what is their unique beauty?” and suddenly the world was full of beautiful people that I had never noticed before.
And when I get to know someone, the more familiar I get with them and the more I care about them, the more their apparent “flaws” become unique quirks of their beauty that I like.
Personally I have spent very little time looking at or thinking about Taylor Swift, but if you are curious to understand why people might find her attractive, I just did a search for “taylor swift pretty” and I can tell you it wouldn’t be difficult to explain it. Let me know.
I have absolutely no respect for this basic-ass fucking take. It’s fine for you not to find someone attractive but to say someone has a “rat face” because you personally don’t find them attractive is fucking reprehensible. There is absolutely no reason for you to waste people’s time & attention with the things you personally find unattractive, you entitled shitstain.
And if you find this offensive, maybe you shouldn’t go around calling people “rat faced” and then you’d have some ground to stand on.
Oh no, this was great actually. See, you started with the idea that she’s “not attractive” and with just the slightest prodding you switched to “rat face; flat body; no curves”, showing exactly what sort of vicious cretin goes around attacking women’s appearance just because they don’t make his dick hard. It’s a you problem, not anybody else’s, and now when that hypothetical teenage girl comes past this thread and sees your comment, she can scroll down and understand just how fucked you actually are, and maybe she’ll realise your validation is not something she should seek.
My comment to you was really for that girl, so she could see it and understand that you have revealed the kind of person you are.
“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
― Roald Dahl, The Twits
You are the person with ugly thoughts. You are doomed to be ugly, not because of your “rat face” or whatever else, but because you are the sort of person who calls someone "rat face"d. Another way to say this is, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Again, this is not a comment for you, I’ve given up on you, this is for whoever needs to actually read it. You can get fucked.
Also, just notice how this person has to project an imaginary motivation into my mind in order to ignore what I’m saying, calling me a Swifty even though I already said I don’t spend much time thinking about or looking at Taylor Swift. They lied to my face about one of the few things they actually know about me. That’s how wrong they are, they can’t even handle the few sentences I’ve written without losing grip on reality.
Notice how this guy has to keep telling me what’s wrong with me so he can’t see how I’ve called out his shitty behaviour. He has no answer for what I’ve said about him; he just has to make it about me, even though I’ve explained multiple times now that I actually don’t give a shit about Taylor Swift and I’m happy for people not to like her.
His comments aren’t for us; they’re to keep his fragile ego from crumbling under the weight of actually examining his own behaviour, which is also how he became such a shitty person.
He probably also can’t stop replying for exactly that same reason, so I’m going to release him from that by stopping myself. He’ll reply, but it’s just to get the last word. I would be shocked if it was interesting in any way.
I imagine if we showed his comments to Jennifer Lopez she’d think he was a creep, so there’s that too. That’s the part that makes me think he’s not just trolling, he actually believes what he’s saying, but I am absolutely done replying to this guy. He’s shown the sort of person he is, and that’s enough for me.
You’re right about the problems, but I wouldn’t characterise deregulation as a mistake, it was a calculated plan that achieved its goals which were to benefit capital.
I just think it’s important to understand that capitalism is set up to operate this way and will always devolve into barbarism.
Right, but it’s not just pushing a button to get the recompiled code, there’s still translation work to be done. Crucially, a framerate will need to be chosen, so you can just choose to base the framerate on the processing done.
Sure, the ROM is “original” but I’d argue that accessing the source code - or an analogue to it - is a more fundamental way of archiving the original, since without that source code we don’t have access to how it was originally made.
The point is not that it competes with ROMs or replaces them, but it adds to them and makes the archive that much more complete.
Also for games where emulation doesn’t work or isn’t practical, recompilation can allow us to maintain games that otherwise couldn’t be.

I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.

I don’t think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I’m just fulfilling my commitment late.
