Live action Porco Rosso is looking rather different

It’s really weird how getting old nowadays means “I know how to do this shit FOR FREE” for so many computer related things. Give me 1h and I’ll handpick 60+ images to rotate as wallpapers.

I can think of several reasons:

• get information on Russian forces
• lower Russian morale
• let Ukrainians die first because it’s more profitable
• make Ukraine a debt-slave state to its NATO sponsors
• go in guns blazing in order to save Ukraine so NATO gets good press
• force Ukraine to sign all sorts of deals that will leave the country at the complete mercy of big western corpos

Every single person with a working brain has been complaining about making cars more and more “connected” and reliant on software - it makes the cars LESS safe and less repairable. Heater or AC won’t work? Sorry, you gotta subscribe to unlock that. Any customer who looks at that and says “That makes sense, the company can’t give that out for free” is a fucking idiot who deserves to be scammed out of their money

Why didn’t he ask MS-AI, or GPT or whatever the fuck, why people aren’t impressed? I’m sure the answer is exactly what he’s looking for

Glad to see that you lack an understanding of scale, that explains a lot.

Should the single parent who had a dream to make art who is getting crushed by capitalism, works 3 jobs to make ends meet and literally doesnt have time to learn there passion without starving not also deserve to be able to express themselves?

They’re not expressing themselves if all they’re doing is the equivalent of a boss telling a worker to do something. This is also called “commissioning an artist”

Oh no poor people might be able to make money off of art instead of only massive corporations that effectively already killed the human spirit in art already. Oh no someone who may have gone to school for art so they can express themselves may no longer be able to get a job at an ad company where their love for art gets extinguished as they have to constantly make soulless logos for mega corps based on advise from advertising psychologist who define what will tingle peoples brain more to make them want to consume more.

This whole paragraph is such a display of bad faith that I can’t even figure what’s your position. My best guess: a lot of words to dodge the problem.

The problem your scared about already happens but is dressed up as human expression today by pr departments because people do it. If anything AI art would counter that because now more people will be producing things for the sole reason of expressing themselves instead of needing to take a soul crushing job eroding the expression of their craft for a corporation to make up for the years of debt they incurred by going to school to follow their passion only to find out the field they went into is a farce.

Yeah, nothing like getting a soul crushing job that doesn’t involve art, so that my artistic spirit can remain unfulfilled forever while I pretend to boss around a prompt and think I did something. Refer back to my first point of this reply.

People believe anything already, people believed random hearsay in the past. The only counter for any type of manipulation like this whether being based in deep fakes or just someone spewing nonsense on a pod cast is critical thinking skills. AI doesnt change that one bit, if someone doesnt want to think critically about something they wont, they don’t need AI today to practice cognitive dissonance and blocking AI wont stop that behavior only focusing on education and critical thinking skills will.

It’s a matter of scale. That you failed to grasp something so simple says a lot.

Shhh, quiet! Otherwise they might get kidnapped by trump’s goons and put on an executive seat!

But there is more human crap out there made each day than there is great works

And now, thanks to AI, we can expect 100x more shit to wade through! Great success!

Not everyone can draw, or play music, or make movies. Not everyone has the time or money to put everything together thats needed to make something like a good song or a good movie.

If the author does not want to spend time learning and doing, then I don’t want to spend time checking whatever they asked an AI to do.

So what exactly is the problem with people using AI generate something?

Lower barrier of entry for profit-seeking bullshitters. A significant usage of AI is done by people wanting to profit off it somehow. SEO optimized garbage sites, videos that get lots of views on yt/ttk/insta, playing spotify on repeat forever.

Oh, there’s also the problem of all the deepfakes that people WILL believe, whatever the intent was: revenge porn, political manipulation, trolling.

Meh, not gonna happen and we all know that

Can’t be worse than the shitshow he’s doing

He’s afraid he’ll have to open his golden parachute before he can finish setting up his yacht flotilla

Yeah, nothing says “this person will repay their loans” like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.

I love how you can just call it capetalismo in portuguese, capeta = devil

Better title:

Passkeys: still trying to explain why it’s worth the hassle when it isn’t

Should’ve used more of his own blood. A lot more. Like all of it

muskrat loves his x-rated shit publicly visible to everyone

his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million in puts on Palantir (…) Palantir’s market cap is also up over 150 percent year-to-date. Its current valuation is upwards of 200 times its forward earnings, spreading fears that it may be grossly overvalued.

He knows which one is more likely to get really fucked in this bubble and it’s not the shovel seller

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse.

Can we assume his puts aren’t for 2026, but at least 2028 or later?

As CNN points out, Burry’s track record isn’t perfect. For instance, he called in January 2023 to “sell” in a now infamous tweet

Something something irrational solvent something

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The two companies he’s shorting are the ones making all the money,”

One of the companies is making all the money and it’s not Palantir.

If you count only Valve’s own games’ sales, those earned nowhere as much as the steam market trade of TF2 hats and CS skins

I’m curious what the Japanese devs think might be the problem with Steam in this case. I know dlsite has been the main place for trying to sell their own indie stuff

The real question that remains unanswered: why the fuck did that boy try to earn a Darwin Award? One or two would be an accident, 100 is done on purpose
