If you are a writer, and you need an AI image to explain to an artist what you have envisioned, you need to quit your job.

I take it all back we should absolutely let AI run the vending machines

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.

Remind me, why was it vitally important that we stop calling these people weird?

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

The public: "We are desperate for help with the cost of living. Please do something." Trump administration: "Penis."

I'm not watching Trump's speech but it sounds like it's going great.

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

A property of mine just went out of option, and I want you all to know it happened not because Hollywood is woke and a white dude can't get a fair shake but because selling anything in LA is a roll of the fucking dice and sometimes things just don't happen so you put on your big kid pants and deal

If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers www.persuasion.community/p/my-chatgpt...

I read that whole “it sucks to be a millennial white man thanks to DEI” piece and have some thoughts. Overall: how sad to put that much work into making a case to be resentful, and a bad case at that. (Thread)

Forget all this. The President has no fucking authority to declare war on anyone. International law is great. It's important. But this shit is illegal as a matter of AMERICAN law

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

So weird that Firefox rose up as an open source alternative to Explorer, and now people are migrating to an open source alternative to Firefox (Waterfox) Time is a flat circle, die a hero etc etc

Foley has been a company man for a long time, even when he arguably shouldn't have been. If WWE finally lost him, that means a lot.

no one cares for Gaston he just has a good song no one needs a new origin story for Gaston

"To see those... those... monkeys from those African countries... Damn them! They're still uncomfortable wearing shoes!" - Ronald Reagan

This fucking fuck of a fucking year can fuck right the fuck off.

Remember when Reagan denied aids was real and killed tens of thousands of lgbtqia+ folks and then toms of his White House went to prison for Iran contra? Neoliberal Democrats are the Republican Party of rhe 1990s now. Not opposition to American fascism.

I know "everyone is 12" is an popular theory nowadays, but I think Donnie literally has the mental capacity of a 12-year-old.

Oh, you mean TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet who was interviewed by the NYTimes’s Ross Douthat THIS WEEK where he talked about how much he cares about fact-based, non-conspiratorial media and Ross didn’t challenge him at all on that assertion?

It's very cool that the Supreme Court invented a political system that gives these lunatics unlimited influence.

I see this argument made all the time and it's embarrassing for CCDH to keep making it, because it's a lie. Section 230, what they're talking about, does not give anyone a "get out of jail free" card. It simply puts the liability on the party who actually engaged in the violative behavior.

When not in use, the Rubio is powered down and placed in a corner.

Instead of sugar I substituted my own dandruff and everyone hated it. This is your fault somehow.

yeah South Park would never make fun of Democrats like Al Gore or Hillary Clinton, and they'd surely never repeatedly try to get the network to let them depict the Prophet Mohammed in cartoon form.

Goddamn, Peter!

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao just 90% of what concept is🤣

the way my mood lifted on hold at the third pharmacy today trying to fill a paxlovid Rx when this was the hold music

lol @lopatto.bsky.social banger alert www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

Man I can't believe people didn't tune into the sit down with two people no one knows or cares about. How is this any different than some public access show you run into at 3am that's on after the Set It And Forget It infomercial

"Using AI for concept art is removing the soul" "Its taking jobs from concept artists and devs shouldnt be fine with that" Yes yes, all true but did everyone just completely forget that its bad for the environment? Like even if the moral & artistic arguments weren't there THE PLANET'S DYING, CLOUD

Sam Elliott as the Narrator, "That is not his point"

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

Hey all, a friend’s cafe and comedy club, @sprtsdrnk.bsky.social, is getting review bombed on Google because they helped stand up to ICE. If you’ve ever been there or live in New Orleans, please drop them a positive review. sports drink: café & comedy club reviews share.google/ETsWCbUhGOJV...

whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

When I was depressed I thought everyone's life is defined by the worst thing that happens to them; the joy people are taking in Rob Reiner's work proves how wrong I was. Just as importantly, life on Earth is not defined by the worst things people do & say—please don't let this convince you otherwise

one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable

We're doomed.

Not that you really need it in this case, but research says no. Political appointee diplomats underperform career diplomats onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...
