the only reason to write that book would be for when i would inevitably get to post the “don’t create the torment nexus” meme for tons of social media impressions.
though knowing what impressions are pegs me as a creative who won’t get to post on social media from the mines.
the robots won’t be equipped to fix it. there will be no one left to tell they got it wrong.
same reason harlan ellison wrote i have no mouth and i must scream i suppose…
nah, it’s going to be the opposite.
if other computer technology has been anything to go off of then only those who lived through is adaption and watched it progress will know how to spot it. those who grow up with hard to spot ai will just accept that they can’t see it and think we’re weird for trying so hard to prove things are ai. they’ll also think we’re weird for caring.
our boomer trait will be doing art instead of asking ai to generate images and video, or wanting things made by people when the ai generated thing is “good enough”.
we’ll be getting eyerolls for gifting a nice art set or a camera to our niblings. we’ll embarrass our grandkids when we get upset at the ai point of sale system that mcdonalds starts using. “back in my day they had big touch screens where you could manually select your toppings on the burger, now you just yell into a box and MAYBE gets it right”
actually, if social media tech is anything to go on we won’t even have that much control. your order will be algorithm based. chosen for you based on your recent ad footprint. the ai obviously knows what you want better than you do. the kids won’t see it as weird. they’ll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same, but we’re going to hate it. the corps will push it anyway because it’s so massively profitable with the demographics that like it and every restaurant will be owned by like 2 companies. they’ll just force it on everyone else. we’ll bitch about it, but most people will still keep going.
only because people never stopped asking it to be able to id birds.
i just wish it wasn’t the general direction the industry had decided to push things.
it’s become the expected norm. it’s the performance metric games are optimized to hit now, and it’s far from prefect.
i was just playing red dead 2 yesterday with dlss and i was legitimately struggling to do some things due to the artifacting. like there are some small missions and challenges that require you to find and shoot specific tiny birds with a bow, but dlss struggles with small things flying across a dynamic background. the birds would literally fade in and out of existence.
same thing with trying to snipe distant heads. the little red fatal zone indicator would ghost like hell and fade in and out.
like, it may be better than needing to drop your resolution, but it still kind of sucks sometimes.
ah yes, ignoring that it should actuality be a polygon, implying a closed shape with straight sides much like this ignores the “weapon” and “used for thrusting or striking” parts of the definition.
not hard to make strange things fit a definition when you just ignore parts of it.
no no silly, that’s what the private prisons are for.
they don’t want to kill us, they want to enslave us.
free slaves are cheaper that rock breaking machines.
yeah, quick psa for passing readers.
never plant bamboo unless you either want to live in a full on bamboo forest and drown out every native plant around you or are ok With spending the rest of eternity fighting for you life to stop it from spreading.
they seem more common in places that are conserned about water usage. they’re basically the norm now in Colorado.
i was around then, I’ve just never met anyone who cared about that movie.
if there were clips going around of people dressing up like that I’d chalk that up to being a marketing campaign.
that would mean constantly checking behind him and missing the show. I’m with the other commentor. the onus is on the short person to get in front of him. if he tries to stop them then he might be at fault. that said, it’s also not fair to expect someone to stand at the back just because they’re tall.
i don’t think I’ve ever seen a rabbid Fandom around it.
it was just an easy approachable pretty movie for the masses. with a massive budget and a very well known director it brought people in to see the best visuals hollywood sfx had at the time. that’s basically how it was marketed, as a tech demo.
I’ve never once seen anyone fanboy about it. it sold well, but didn’t excite many.
on three other hand, avatar the last air bender has a massive and rabid fandom.
mainstream amine maybe, but there is A LOT of anime out there.
your comment is like saying that Hollywood only ever made super hero movies.
from Wikipedia: “The name “cockchafer”[22] derives from the late-17th-century usage of “cock”[23] (in the sense of expressing size or vigour) + “chafer”[24] which simply means an insect of this type, referring to its propensity for gnawing and damaging plants. The term “chafer” has its root in Old English ceafor or cefer, of Germanic origin and is related to the Dutch kever, all of which mean “gnawer” as it relates to the jaw. As such, the name “cockchafer” can be understood to mean “large plant-gnawing beetle” and is applicable to its history as a pest animal”
those normally come in a backpack of sorts. he could just put it back in the bag it likely came in. then it just looks like a bookbag with a tube coming out.
yeah that’s about it, but they call it as i spelled it, and they were huge.
i grew up near a place that had something they called a ponza rotta.
it was the pizza equivalent of a chimichanga. it was a deep fried calzone. my high school had a tradition of trying to run a ponza mile instead of a beer mile. last one to puke after eating a whole ponza and running a mile won. only ever knew one person to actually finish the mile.
idk, i looked dead at it multiple times and couldn’t see it because it’s too compressed. not because it’s actually that hard to see.
it just looked like the metal of the bench kept swirling.
it’s tough to know what you’re seeing without seeing it. can you post a side by side showing one image at 160 and another at a bigger iso where you aren’t noticing this effect?
