you are definitely right, dead giveaway is the walls. Both the wood and brick wall are all over the place with sizes and placement

A Eufy Make UV printer on a desk. Its a big black and grey box that is very wide and tall with glossy tinted windows

A fridge magnet with a deep dark red background color and the Heated Rivalry title font in a golden yellow. The colors are very deep and rich, the outlines of the text are crisp

UV printer finally arrived.
Wanted a test print with crisp graphics, so why not bootleg Heated Rivalry Kitchen magnet

yes, it's people who have extracted value from ai vs. people who have only seen it extract value from them. i don't think people who have been exploited owe any grace to those evangelizing it to them, which is why i wish enthusiasts would leave the skeptics alone and stop acting like the underdogs

ah shit, the 3 weeks of "all my meetings temporarily shift by an hour" starts today

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

my thoughts on ai broadly can be distilled to my observance that many are not built or conditioned to consider the chain of impacts by their actions. i see people litter all of the time. parents still smack their children. these are short-term individual conveniences with long-term societal harms

hi Alice!

hope it goes well!

I would assume there is case law for this already. At the end of the day any VFX pipeline is generative too. There is likely some definition for meaningful human input for when something would hit the threshold of a creative work which can then have a copyright

lolwat, I thought this was a shitpost, wow

dang congrats!

“Connor grew up in Odessa, a desert town in Texas, which made his dancing to “Odessa” by Caribou while shooting the Vogue Adria cover feel especially poignant. Connor is wearing YSL.”

I like this!
I also like that you think about this, having simpler ways available to interact with something, at least the basics is always a good thing imo

holding up the bottle of Syrup by the brand Simoly Squeeze, the buggest text says "REAL". The flavor is Pumpkin Puree

even if this is some form of "getting back at Anthropic" thing, Anthropic still pursued those DoD contracts intensely up until now. You don't get to play innocent all of the sudden. It is very clear what sorta shit the DoD will do with your tools, especially this regime.

A big cup of coffee topped of with whipped cream, pumpkin spice mix and pumpkin spice syrup

Found a really good pumpkin spice syrup. This tastes amazing

Can we please stop giving Anthropic the "good guy" card. Making DoD contracts at this scale, being embedded deeply into military operations and then pulling out when it starts to look bad is just bad faith bullshit to save face as the "ethical AI".

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

If you have the "only show my posts to logged-in users" feature activated. If so what was your reason to use it?

When you activated the feature was it clear to you that this does not actively hide your posts from logged out users but just on complying apps?

A large black plate with 3 different shapes of paste, each with a different sauce. There is tomato, pesto and a cream sauce

I know this as Pasta Mista from an old Italian Restaurante my family used to go to but googling that just gives me that pasta shape mix for soups.
Anyway, I made this and it was good!
