The real tell here is that they care more about impressions than actually creating something meaningful. Art isn't even a goal to these people, it's just an otherwise-valueless thing with which one garners clout

AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce

Me too!

I honestly wasn't expecting it to work this well! "Add some photo-realistic snow to this picture to make it look like it was taken in Winter." (Gemini) Photo (c) Me #AI

It’s disappointing the River Nidd at the Lido has again been rated poor for bathing water quality. This cherished spot remains unsafe because Yorkshire Water puts profit before environment. OFWAT must be replaced with a regulator with real teeth to hold polluters to account & clean up our rivers.

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

Billionaires should not exist. Trillionaires are de facto criminals This is earth, finite and impermanent. We are humans, impermanent and finite. 11 hold more of earths resources than 7 billion people do. That’s not humanity that’s hoarding.

This is the best news so far this year.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

It must be nice (and not at all hypocritical, right?) for people like @adambienkov.bsky.social to be able to just block people who challenge their ideas and opinions and who don't have to abide by due impartiality guidelines. It's almost like they're scared of debate.

why did they call it a urinal when boylet is right there

I'm still waiting...

Well this is a little embarrasing. Just watching SWAT (we're rather behind here) and didn't recognise @realmerrind.bsky.social 😲🤦‍♂️😠 (I mean, I thought the actress looked familiar. 😳 In my defence, we don't see her much here in the UK.) Sorry!

It has not stopped raining literally all day. I didn't even know that was possble!

Hey @electricentertainment.com Where's new "Almost Paradise?" We don't have to wait until next year, do we? (UK viewer)

I don't think any company in the UK does anything like this, do they? (And certainly not at that price!)

Experts know what they don’t know. Fake experts don’t even know what they think they know.

Been using #Copilot a lot lately to help with PC issues and changes and have noticed that it likes to end with a statement or question like it's trying to get you to keep using it. It's very odd! #AI

Absolutely.

Whilst I stand by my opinion that #AI should not be used for artistic work (eg painting, music) I have finally discovered how good it is as a tool for research, replacing a standard search engine! I think I will be using it more!

This is what it's like to live in a racist society. If the perpetrator is white, they're just some lone madman whose actions have no political implication. If they're an immigrant - in particular a dark-skinned Muslim immigrant - they represent their group and are part of a political attack.

‘Woke’, as we all know, means being kind, considerate, empathetic, tolerant and inclusive. Imagine objecting to that.

Why the hell would anyone actually believe this crap? I really cannot believe there are people dumb enough.

As Cornershop one said, everyone needs a bosom for a pillow. Applicatons are now open. 😁

@aircheckdownloads.com Hi! Have you got the original openings from Radio Aire and Magic 828?

Not a big fan of using AI for anything other than medical/scientific research but had to try this 🤷‍♂️(Not sure why it's cut my feet off but CBA to do it again with another photo.)

@octopus.energy Hi! I've looked on the website, the app and my IHD and I can't find actual, live meter readings anywhere. Surely I don't have to go look at the meters? Where are they?

@octopus.energy Finally got a working IHD! 👍Why is electric consumption "real time" but gas only every 30 mins?

Have to say, 5GB of data for £5 a month is one of the best deals right now for lighter data users like me. (Incl 1000 UK mins, Unlimited texts and 100 international minutes.) aklam.io/rsNDq5

Is there anything better than a freshly made bed with a heated blanket? I don't think so.

There was some discussion going on on BBC News earlier but I found this *far* more interesting. 7 Seasons of The West Wing and so I should know but these are US Marines, right? I'm sure they drill this stuff like mad! Wonderful stuff!

@pcpro.bsky.social Your download site's broken again. 😠

It might not end-up a Christmas classic like #DieHard but @netflix.com's "Carry-On" is pretty good. www.netflix.com/title/81476963

@harrogatehr.bsky.social Would you drop me a PM please? (I think that's 'start a chat' on here, right? Thanks.

Massive away win for the little fella.

Repost a fun fact about yourself: I am only as tall as an original Dalek

My first post here. Better make it a good one. Something profound and meaningful, maybe? Nah! HELLO WORLD! That will do.
