if ai stans want to build trust in AI, they should have embraced sensible regulation instead of spending millions to elect pols unwilling to lift a single finger. congrats, you have regulatory captured the entire industry and the U.S. gover

Right, you think the people you're communicating with are stupid, and I believe that we should aspire to be better.

people have needed art as long as there have been people. it's hard to argue that websites are equally important.

We need to be OK with shaming people we see as doing anti-social behaviours.

If people think a piece of art is AI, the impression is that you didn't spend any amount of time or effort on creating it (even if you did, which, hilarious if true. you could have been making real art). Further, the vocal anti-AI art

I love that this succinctly explains not only that people largely hate this shit, but also gives simple examples of doing better. The photoshopped thumbs up was really good, I love that shit. It is the antithesis of ai slop; the human prese

when people talk about AI art they aren't talking about using photoshop smart select to remove a lamppost, and it's pretty disingenuous to pretend they might be. Clip art was created for specific purposes by humans, and continues

I have been thinking about this for 24 hours now and I have to say this has me mad as hell. Software companies treat the users like fucking cattle to be led to whatever slaughter will be most profitable this quarter. Capital has fully inver

so, many jobs in a high paying country are being replaced by a single employee overseas. Do you see how this is not a better outcome?

I think it's important to note that these things don't take jobs from humans; they dislocate the jobs from expensive humans where the vehicles operate to less expensive humans with an internet connection in the global south. This

Do you not think it's an issue when the name of a country is replaced with a fully different country name as a result of the AI output? The problem is manifest. It's right there. You can see it, can't you?

All of these tools that are not controlled by the user, trained on datasets they do not own or understand, will inevitably be subject to manipulation. I do not necessarily believe that Canva went in and specifically trained their AI models

Unfortunately, Windows' entrenchment means that it's gonna be extremely painful to return to computers that work for the users again. I have personally moved my personal PC to Linux, but what is really needed is a back-to-basics O

The biggest international incident, on the tip of all democratic voters' tongues, was Israel's continued genocide in Gaza. For that specific issue, there was virtually no daylight between the Republican and Democratic line. I woul

You actually don't need to engage with the arguments of people arguing in bad faith.

You're mistaking the stereotype for the people in charge of the policy. If you want to destroy GOP institutions, start with country clubs and sinking private yachts. nationalize car dealerships. break up the megacorps.

I grew up in Colorado, and a visit to NCAR was part of my elementary school education. I think it is so critically important to not only employ working scientists, but also share that science with the public. The republican machine vehement

People need to look long and hard at how they are using technology, and ask how technology should be used. Every single technological trend for the past 10 years has been smoke and mirrors, promising utility of an iPhone but with deliverabl

no shit, this was obviously the point. the people who said so all along were correct, the people who insisted it wasn't were not speaking in good faith. we, as a society, need to stop taking companies at their word when they say that t

It's not just the ideologues; it's the people with vested interests in seeing oil companies continue to dominate. Lindsey Graham has been pretty mask-off in wanting to take control of Iran's oil resources and, in his words, &

It's a really warped mind that could think the best way to build domestic war support would be to blow up a girls' school, but frankly i haven't seen anything from the u.s. government that makes it sound implausible.
