Somebody call an admin, the anti-memes are breaching containment again.

Still waiting for it to go free to play as they said.

Ah yes, the cuddle puddle’s distant cousin: the sleep heap.

BIG chillin over here. I’ve discovered that giving myself at least one day every other week of mandatory not giving a fuck actually makes me fare more able to deal with the shit that needs to be dealt with the rest of the time.

Fair enough.

Headphones can emulate multi-channel spacial audio because the speakers are right on your ears. Tvs and laptops could do the same thing my headset does, it just wouldn’t do any good because speakers are too far away and in the wrong orientation.

That’s my bad, I should have been a lit more specific. Most basic stereo headphones are straight dual channel and have the same issues as listening through laptop or tv speakers. I’m talking about the ones that actually use multi-channel signal to simulate a 5.1 or 7.1 environment.

Oh yeah, fair.

I just personally hate that all major business logos now seem to just be the name on a single color background. I miss when logos had personality.

The actual reason, for anyone curious, is that movies and shows now are recorded and mixed for 5 or 7 chanel surround audio systems. The dialogue is meant to rout to the speakers closer to the viewers so it’s tuned lower, while big loud shit is meant to come from the bigger, bassier speakers up front farther from viewers so they tune it louder.

If you watch on a laptop, invest in surround sound headphones. I got a decent pair for $40 USD and it has vastly improved both my movie watching and gaming experience.

As insignificant as a mid quality restaurant chain is, it just seems emblematic

Because it’s a perfect representation of their cult behavior. Brainwashed into only caring about surface level snapshots of issues instead of actual material details.

That said, new logo is actually trash compared to the original. Can we please just let this trend of minimalist corpo slop die already!?

Gonna need at least three more zeros on the end of that number, boss. AGI is nowhere near viable with the tech we have now.

Gee, it’s almost like letting ai do your thinking for you is a bad thing…

For really real. People always whine about “well what if the person they catch isn’t actually a predator” but dawg, come the fuck on.

If I invite a grown as person to meet me somewhere under the pretense that I am a child, and they show up to that meeting believing they are there to meet a child? Oh naw, I don’t give half a cold, rusty fuck what excuses they have for why they came over, I’m putting the paws on em. I’mma stomp a mud hole in em and walk it dry with all 6’1", 300 pounds of my fi-fy-fo-fum lookin ass.

It took me entirely too long to realize this was satire. It sounds exactly like any other stupid bullshit they spout.

So you’re telling me that you have a table saw that can stand up, walk to the wood pile, grab a plank, measure to size, line it up, and push it over the blade if you say “I need a two foot 2x4”? Because that is the level of automaton that we’re talking about with ai. The human makes a request, the bot does all the work.

But nevermind, I just looked into your comment history and you obviously don’t have the mental faculties for an intelligent conversation on this subject. Have a nice life, I’m out.

Your obviously bad faith argument excludes the distinction between tool and automaton.

All the things you listed are tools. They are objects that assist humans with performing a process.

“Generative” ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.

Hiring someone to draw a picture and then signing your name on it doesn’t make you an artist, and that’s exactly what every ai “”“artist”“” is doing.

Love the work! Also, chibithulhu. 🥹

It’s a scene from Final Fantasy 7.

I managed four at the same time!

I picked dandelions. (with a weed whacker)

I dug holes. (by uprooting massive weeds)

I basked in the sun. (and got a low grade burn while picking dandelions and digging holes)

And I sang love songs. (it was actually Love Song by Korn, but I did sing it while picking dandelions, digging holes, and basking in the sun)
