That's the thing. "Art that might sell" is corrupted. The diversity and uniqueness of art we would encounter regularly would be so much higher if that category was simply eliminated.

I consider myself an artist, and I give away my work for free. I make my money in other ways, as should everyone, as money irreversibly corrupts the artistic process by dragging everything towards a bland middle ground. So no, I don't

It would go back to the best reason: for the joy of creating. The field would be reduced to those who enjoy making art for the sake of making art. It would also do wonders for filtering out the amount of crap that people produce. We would a

If you're going to run it in a VM, why ARM?

Stop giving a shit about what "many people" care about. "Many people" are dumb, hardly aware of the world that isn't directly in front of them. Their opinion here is worthless, doubly so because of how easily they c

We had this with Google Music, it was awesome. It even had a linux client for backing up your music!

With the margins that tech makes, many companies could certainly afford to care more about code quality. But they don't, instead it gets stuffed into cash reserves where the money sits idle, doing nothing but enriching shareholders. Or

So let's toss management and go write good code for the principle of it, and not business bullshit calculus

I'm not arguing that. But, now that we are hooking up LLMs to the internet, and they are actively hitting various endpoints, something somewhere is eventually going to go haywire and people will be affected somehow. Or it will be deplo

My point is that the plumbing for this sort of thing is coming into focus. Human factors are not an effective safeguard. I feel like every issue you have brought up is solvable. Today, already, you can set up a red zone watched by computer

ChatGPT plugins can go out and access the internet. The internet is hooked up to things that physically move things -- think stuff like industrial SCADA or bridge controls. You can remotely pan a gun around with the right apparatus, and you

Yes, I am projecting my bias. That's my opinion. That is the whole point. If you cut someone, and they heal, that doesn't erase the fact that you cut someone. The important thing is not to cut them. My friends here drive me crazy

As if the east doesn't have its own things it would like to impose on the west. I think self-esteem transcends culture. You can call it colonialism, but I say you want people to suffer. Because culture! Also, unrealistic beauty standar

Who said that I am trying to sell cameras? I want more investment in better optics and hardware. Not AI hallucinations. Do you think some random internet comment is going to change anything? Even if it is worded in the best, most persuasive

by pdntspa 4y ago
Maybe, but matters of self-esteem should transcend culture. Nobody deserves to suffer unnecessarily because they are literally physically incapable of measuring up to some manipulated version of "beauty", and nobody needs products

It's just stupid that we gum up relatively simple pipelines of input -> output in favor of these longer and more complicated bullshit... and for what? So unpracticed and uneducated stupi...er, laypeople can feel better about themsel

some people just love making their environments needlessly complicated.

Yes lets defend bullshit beauty standards that make people even less comfortable in their own skin.

The game acts like it is designed for kids. It follows all the obnoxious gen Z trends, everything is in superbright colors, and speaks their design language. Hard to imagine that its userbase isn't mostly kids.

Does UEFN still have the problem where the framerate for rendering all UI halves each time you open a new window?

I really hate how so many hold this awful 1800s baroque steampunk aesthetic as 'beautiful' and then lambast modern design as if it isn't. I like minimalism, particularly the swiss school. The sense of peace and zen that com

Uh, no. Pickup/delivery frequently delivers my food cold and unpalatable. I'm not going to trust that these folks know how to pick fresh vegetables correctly.

by pdntspa 4y ago
I really don't want anyone but myself grabbing fresh fruits and vegetables off the shelf. Bananas, in particular, I need them at a specific point in their ripeness otherwise they go bad on me way too quickly.

"Third" is the 4th word in that sentence. Do one of those other words not count or something?

Absolutely not. Variety is the spice of life, uniqueness is what gives it its verve and essence. The sameness of everything everywhere is absolutely suffocating. I have long argued that we humans are obsessed with data when we shouldn'
