Definitely. Watching a video on someone getting perfect makes it seem so easy, but then I try it and it goes completely downhill almost immediately.

My thoughts are that basic things such a using a neural network and such to train a video game enemy on how to use terrain is okay, as long as it’s all simulations run on your own hardware/servers. Things like that that won’t take up an oceans worth of water in a day are fine by me. Things like using machine learning to sort through data with at least a couple humans to verify there was no errors? Okay in my book.

It’s when these brain dead companies push generative ai ( genai ) onto us like it’s somehow comparable to sci-fi super ai that solves every problem with 100% accuracy and without massive environmental destruction that I hate, alongside the terrible product. Same with any person willing to use them while also blindly trusting everything it outputs. Normally I give people a baseline amount of respect when I am first introduced to them, but no matter what, my level of respect for someone who willingly uses and trusts genAI is never going to rise unless they give up the genAI and start on the path of regaining their humanity.

I especially wanna see anybody using genAI for anything education related ( besides studying the dangers of it ), bug bounties/open source, and any kind of art reform themselves and go onto the path of regaining their humanity. I know it’ll never happen since those people were brainless before genAI, but a beaver can dream.

I have zero sympothy for those who have gone into psychosisms because of it or have had similar issues caused by it. They lacked the will power and critical thinking to save themselves.

Edit:

I used to be a genAI user but then I took to the path of regaining my humanity, returning to being a person who believes the past, present, and future will be human ( so long as humans exist ) no matter what. It may seem hard and may take a lot of work to avoid genAI slop, but it is very rewarding IMO. I know I am on the right path because I know supporting your fellow man is infinitely more rewarding than letting genAI take away your brain and more importantly your humanity. I believe in a very human world and refuse to believe genAI has any use in it.

A disc drive was the deciding factor in me getting my desktop. That, and all the USB ports.

I also really like the old 90s Sony Discman I got with appropriate headphones, even if it is a battery hog.

Would recommend picking up an old CD player and headphones if you have a CD collection and are feeling extra.

IDK about the names, but that is probably my favorite rhythm feaver/tengoku minigame(?) out there, just for the song alone.

I prefer “genetically modified snowflakes” or at the very least “paper chain cutout snowflakes”. Real snowflakes are unique and pretty despite the fact you can’t see their true shape without help. Those othef type of snowflakes are similar to each other with some minor defects that separate them from being exact copies.

The lyrics that come to mind are:

“Badger Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom”

“Who Has To Know My Dirty Little Secret, Don’t Tell Anyone Or You’ll Be Just Another Regret”

And various parts of Dragostea Din Tei ( the Numa Numa song )

All of these thanks to my early days on the interwebs.

If you’ve got eggs and leftover rice, mix some eggs, rice, and sweet chili sauce. The eggs and chili sauce are the most expensive part of the meal, most likely.

Just scramble 1-2 eggs and then mix in some rice and heat through. Then pour into a bowl and add some of the sauce.

Don’t know whether you consider eggs vegetarian, though.

Otherwise, if you have tortillas and salsa, heating something like a can of black beans and corn and then adding a little salsa is something I’ve done. Salsa, bean, and corn wraps. Not the best thing ever, but it was what it was.

I’d say it looks a little AI generated, for starters, and second I wanna ask a question. If Heaven and Hell are real, why would there be a way for living people to enter from space? I thought the only way to either place was death?

The worm cannot allow a worm disease to be eradicated and will force his meat puppet to spread misinformation about it.

As long as the industry has regulations that help keep the prostitutes safe ( generic things like STD testing and time off to clear that all up, ways to deal with rowdy, rough customers, etcetera ) In have zero problem as long as the workers are consenting and at least in their mid to late 20s to keep the creepiest of people out.

I’ve recently been a little addicted to the Eve6 album Eve6. Specifically Leech, Superhero Girl, and Tongue Tied. Been the CD I’ve been occasionally listening to my rip of.

That, and Backyard Babies’ Making Enemies Is Good.

Linus would be too busy chewing Epstein out in a mailing list and then banning him from it permanently if they were friends.

Basiclly, if someone needs something like a lemon squeezer or something else ending with “er” I always like the classic “squeeze her? I hardly know her!” style joke.

That, or something dumb like the “I wanted to tell you a pizza joke but it’s too cheesy!” type of joke.

Those were two of the first things that popped into my mind.

This reminds me, I need to read Sabrina Online.

I love his “A Walk In The Park” and “Plight of The Artist” animations, to the point I have the Walk In The Park background music on my phone and at one point found what I think was the original tracker file for that song.

I only became interested in Amiga around 4 years ago. Didn’t really know much about it beforehand. Still don’t know a lot, but love it regardless.

As much as I dislike the lack of OOTB customization with cinnamon, I have not had any problems with Linux Mint. It is Ubuntu based but it’s one of those distros that slowly adopts new things ( Wayland still experimental ) to ensure they can make it functional, but things eventually flow to it.

I was gonna say something about MX, but I realized I only have experience with the version with Plasma. I’m sure the other editions are good too, but don’t take my word on it.

Obvious answer is something like switching to something like BSD, but the less obvious answer is to look into switching to AROS ( AROS Research Operating System, formerly Amiga Research Operating System ).

BSD definitely is a lot more complete compared to AROS, so using AROS will make you superior if you can find a way to keep your workflow as much as possible while making it your daily driver.

Warning: AROS is, as far as I know, not fully open source, but that can be fixed with some reverse engineering that’s well above my pay grade.

I may be off, but this sounds pretty fishy to me. On both sides.

…but manually creating something as a pastime has really disappeared.

Or have gone commercial. People are definitely still manually creating, but a lot of it has been made to be sold, either for personal gain or to be able to afford to live.
