You’ll never be a billionaire if you keep foolishly indulging in the luxury of eating and drinking. You’ll also wasting time eating and expelling waste, you could have two or three other micro hustles to get ahead, you’re only two or three centuries away from success!

I’m getting real sick of the headlines. “Science company says AI will be used to Re-Write the human genome, and identify future Terrorists for the CIA with only random lists of birth certificates, while it designs a 3D printable human heart that has built in wifi controls with 100% police access!”

Didn’t you hear? That’s the problem! The prices must always go up. For the quarterly growth!

Splurging on double ply toilet paper that is free of bark. Recklessly spending on biannual toothbrushs. carelessly using their lunch break to eat instead of adopting mico-hussles. foolishly agreeing to pay rent instead of taking money out of their grandfather’s equity built trust fund to buy expansive rental properties.

why are they so bad with money?

He was a teen heartthrob in the 90s in TV and several films, like what do you want here? you want to pretend that fame can’t fade?

tracks with my experiance, in a hardware store you get all these chuckleheads that come in and want “a good ol’ bang-a-long” and your like “sir… what is a bang-a-long?” and they throw a ten pound hissy fit and go “how in the gul durn heck of a cats pussy do you not know whahat a fucking bang-along-a-bang-bang is, I’ll kill you” and once they’re done being a stupid asshole to you they huff off and come back with a hammer and show you what their granddaddy told them is called a “bang-a-dang-a-ding-a-dong-dong” and they can’t grasp that the people who make and sell said hammer didn’t get that message from Pee-Paa. Then the next lead poisoning victim comes in and asks for an O-ring, and you have the GALL to ask them what they are using it for, and throw their ten pound hissy fit, because they haven’t been punched in the mouth enough as an adult I guess, and run off to find one, then come back and show you because you not being able to identify with only “and O-ring” to go off of which one of the 10,000 different size and material O-rings you carry they specifically meant means you have never heard of an O-ring. Then an unfrozen caveman comes in and ask for a telephone installation, which… you don’t mind helping him put minutes on his phone with a card, but he actually expects you to install phone lines from the city services to his home, you know, that thing the guy at the key cutting desk is KNOWN to do. traditionally.

He does one thing that Democrat candidates can’t seem to grasp. he messages very simple and repeatable claims about things he has done, often not even relevant to politics, and constantly brags while using them. what did Biden do? idiots don’t know, if he spent a lot more time using illiterate friendly words to repeatedly claim the things he’s done in his life, including his play time on Minecraft, he would be president still. Trump also has to constantly correct his handlers on this too, they try and get him following the past tropes of running for president and then they’re baffled when he edits the script to dog food for brains simple and just repeats himself constantly about what a great game of tennis he played once in the 70s, and he doesn’t even have a pet dog.

“He DIDN’T diddle kids!!! He plasured fully consenting 12-16 year old women” - Literally a GOP talking point.

I used it the other day when a kid on my bus buckled the extra 5th point harness on himself that can’t be taken off without assistance, which he doesn’t require, and I warned him if he puts it on I won’t take it off until the destination. He tried bargaining, but I told him I’ll die on this hill. He’s only 5, but he got that it wasn’t going to do anything other than what I said. Also, I know for a fact all he’s going to do if I take it off is immediately put it back on. And it can’t harm him, it’s just an extra strap on a harness.

This is why you don’t ever drive on anything but clear road.

Sorry, man, I thought this was about that film and the actors in it, and their ethnicity. my bad. didn’t realize you were having a no context argument unrelated to this entire fucking thread.

What could possibly go wrong?

they weren’t white either. and black Africans were well known to all of Africa and the Mediterranean FAR further back than written history. Greeks aren’t even white, as far as you want to use “white” as some kind of identification, it’s useless other than as a racist concept to harm other people, but the most generous inclusions are pretty fucking difficult to include Greeks in. dark skin, woolly hair, blunt noses, a language distinctly outside European language roots. you got nothing.

How insane to you need to be to think the ancient Greeks didn’t know about Africa? literally all of art history comes down the the Egyptians and Greeks teaching, learning, and reteaching each other art skills over the course of centuries.

very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck requires they don’t understand it. seroiusly “hay I’m one of the people who has been demanding my company finish AI and roll it out and stuff it into everything we sell to look like massive growth so my stocks will start going up even though the language models aren’t even designed to do what were claiming, and they don’t even work well as language models, and we have no real use for them and they’re horrifyingly costly to run, but no, I don’t think it’s a bubble.”

had a therapist try to get me to realize Jesus is the answer to all of life’s problems. At the time I had been going to a christian church all my life. like yeah, OK Debbie, I like Jesus too, but praying it’s making me have less OCD behaviors I want need to start coping with or breaking so it stops ruining my life.

This is a pretty perfect explanation of why you’re not going to see AI being used for anything serious in the art world for a very long time. you can’t randomize your character designs every time you need more than one clip, angle, iteration, that breaks the function of comercial art entirely. Yes I know it’s technically been done, but it’s exactly what people call it, AI slop. You can’t randomize every element of a film every time you need a new shot, a cut, a new scene with the same characters, backgrounds, or lighting.

The call buttons at my local Walmart aren’t even corrected to anything. It’s a soothing only button.

Sounds like a lot of people who want them to fail could get a job working for them…
