Same. School firewall blocked based on host names, so we all learned a lot about the hosts file so we could manually set all of the IPs Minecraft needed to authenticate.

Hah, mine had the same function. Somehow I managed to hit record while feeding her manually one day, so the call sound became her meowing and the feeder going off. Then, I managed to do that at least two more times. It became this awful recursive meow and feeding sound.

You’d certainly think so, but she actually gets fed twice while I’m at work.

He’s never forgotten to remind you about breakfast. Cause and effect.

I bought an auto feeder to try and decouple myself from my cat’s food. Now she just screams at me right before it goes off and still thinks I magically trigger it.

This pretty well encapsulates my feelings, except for the issue of training the models. AI is cool tech, but the fact remains that people are making money off of scraped content. Not to mention the environmental aspect.

Honestly I find it difficult to reconcile.

In a perfect world, we would have open source models trained on public domain and properly licensed content.

I don’t think AI is going to replace artists any time soon. On the personal side, people create for the joy of it, whatever that means to them. On the professional side, people have a hard enough time communicating what they want to an actual person, much less a computer.

As someone that likely has moderate aphantasia, I really struggle with describing what I want. Being able to tell an image gen to make so many variations of X, and then commission a friend to take inspiration from Y and Z to make something original is really freeing for both sides, imo.

I’ve never gotten exactly what I’m looking for, but it almost always gives me something to point to, without doing a bunch of test drafts. I suppose that’s technically taking work away from the artist, but so does having an ‘undo’ button in procreate.

Idk, it’s a more complex issue than many make it out to be. I’m still further on the fuck ai side than not, just due to its current implementations.

End rant.

Even more so, a pretend friendly stranger that’s documented as being in your location.

Five feet four inches and six feet three inches. The point is they can’t both be right.

I disagree. You have to speak in a language people are willing to understand. More memes about things that improve the lives of citizens, please. Tear us down for our shitty infrastructure.

Knew it would be this. I made the noise immediately on seeing the picture

Damn, open window as well.

I could totally be misremembering, but I seem to recall the Ezio trilogy being praised for accurate cities. So not the original originals, but probably some of the best.

But imagine if you grew up with and struggled alongside those 40 plays for your whole life.

This used to be unironically true, to an extent. Especially with the original games.

Amazing typo.

It started with BoatyMcBoatface, as far as I know. The winner for naming what became the Sir David Attenborough.

Isn’t the Panama Canal basically running out of water? They should act like they’ve been cowed, sell it to us for a ton of money, and laugh all the way to the bank.

If the espresso isn’t making you pee, you might just be dehydrated. Caffeine is a diuretic, so it’s going to make you lose some water.

Yeah, but you’re selling it to somebody who would buy a Tesla in 2025.

What the fuck
