I don't to my knowledge suffer side-effects. Why are you certain about this?

by orangedog 29d ago
Yes but again this is the exact example of anecdotes. Those not suffering aren't going to seek out subreddits to post about their non-problems. You can find a subreddit about everything, whether that's representative of anything o

You're going to hear about it when it happens because it really bothers people when it happens but you aren't going to hear how often it statistically happens. I notice reduced desire but I'm depressed, too, it's hard to

What's wild about that? What does the science say? I've tried a variety and I can't say whether I've experienced side effects. That's just an anecdote but that's the thing with this discussion, that's all

It's a troll account. Stuff like this isn't productive and should get flagged.

I'm not sure; I find the job pretty boring.

I didn't say it was super dumb, it was more of a reflection on that's how much a wrapper is worth today.

UBI is usually proposed at 1k per month. Nobody is living off that. But doing that increases the budget by 3 trillion. Why exactly would UBI help the average person? It gives them pennies and only worsens US spending.

Why are you convinced of that? Pretty much every time I see statements like that online, I can find plenty of organic traffic supporting it, not everything is a bot. I just wouldn't bias myself that way, most people haven't really

It is terse but the comment is sensible to me.

I've seen really creative short films put together using vid generators. In that situation, they're just using it as a tool to produce content which is part of a bigger artistic process. Perhaps there is some level of creativity b

Hey, if your argument is that somebody has to build weapons, then that's your argument. I don't believe that's the situation and building weapons only encourages other countries to do the same. Notice virtually all of Russia&

Starting a weapon company is different from owning a gun. You have control over that gun. Your weapons company, those weapons will be used to kill innocent people, there is no doubt. Weapons don't only get used for clean operations in

I live in a US city. I have a nature area, gym, pharmacy, grocery store, numerous restaurants, bar, and a bunch of other amenities you just listed. I live basically on the rail line so I can get to the rest of the city in 30 minutes (with m

What's the point of being this rude? People are doing things like this, you just have to look around YouTube. This is what I don't like about the anti stance, it's just so often dismissive when people are excited about someth

How are they not in good faith?

I mean sounds like it's a your problem if you are saying that certain tools, no matter how they are used or the effort put into using them can't qualify as art. You're right, I don't gatekeep art that same way. I don&#x2

by orangedog 2mo ago
Yeah I just don't think there is anything special about "art" and I don't think there is some specific definition for what art is. People create that's art. You can put different amounts of time and effort into it b

Please, elaborate.

Somebody still has to prompt it, there is a creative task. Somebody still has to curate it, that too is a creative task. I was comparing this to when photography first came onto the scene not today, but I'm tired of the gatekeeping (wh

Writing a blog post is a creative effort, selecting a few pieces (generated or not) is creative, too, whether it is up to your standards are not. The gatekeeping on this is crazy. I really wonder how artists discussed photography and other

I don't think it signifies any of those things. This is all new stuff. Some people have decided to offload image-creation to machines because what they care about is the text. This stuff you say it signifies, it says more about you t

They're creating for you. They don't owe you anything, they presumably don't have the same feelings about using generated content as you do.

Is posting on HN really that much of a superior way to spend precious time on earth? That's why I don't take this too seriously, at the end of the day you're complaining about time that you're probably wasting online and

Yes, I avoided using it for the longest but the voices that end up pushing me away these days are the antis who gatekeep like crazy, say other people are lazy, decry anything they don't like as "slop" etc. One side is moving

There still are 2 halves. Framing it as quarters is the entire thing. There are numerous things throughout a game which will cause the game to be paused just as long, which is why there is stoppage time.

Sports people (I was listening to Bill Simmons) rated it pretty highly. There was nothing egregious and it was widely attended.
