I have a chronic but minor health condition that doesn't come up much and the other day was treated to something like this by none other than the threadiverse's first. I expected better for some reason.

Aren't waymos safer than human drivers? Why are we shitting on something that will reduce a huge source of death and injury?

Even the people working in sweatshops have better access to clothing than peasants pre-industrialisation.

You know proper socialist countries industrialised as fast as they could because their leaders saw the benefits it would bring?

It's human nature that some people don't feel, or don't feel as acutely. There's also a cultish aspect to it, where because everything is MAGA Vs democrats, all your friends and identity are likely bound up in the same thing, so admitting you were wrong isn't just admitting you were wrong: it's completely changing the way you see yourself and severing many relationships.

Largely because they're being lied to by a media that doesn't cover it, or says the other guy is eating babies.

A decent garlic press will allow you to press out the garlic and leave the paper. It's a unitasker that's well worth it if you eat a lot of garlic.

Sometimes. Sometimes the last layers are little bastards and want to cling to the garlic.

Aww were you expecting everyone to agree with you? Sorry to have confronted you with a contrary opinion to the prevailing one.

Someone else's use of it doesn't shoehorn it into your life; you're letting your irritation at google suggesting it every three minutes lead to saying no-one else should use it.

Generating stuff with AI takes a comparable amount of energy to playing a video game. It doesn't "delegitimize information" in any way, and doesn't devalue the "art making process", it's just a different process for arriving at something kind of similar. If the outcome were the same, it might devalue the process, but that would then be a good thing.

That only leaves alleged copyright infringement which to be honest I thought we were cool with. In any case, the OP's use of an AI image generator isn't going to lead to them not buying the art it was trained on so, again, not really a problem.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

While your broad point isn't wrong, it's good to separate wealth and income.

What rhyme? Only thing I can think that you mean is some things about "attercop" (old word for spider) that Tolkien writes.

I always heard it used for both and it confused me that they were two different things.
