Being a bottom

I’d love the latter, but it’s rare and generally way more expensive I think.

BYOTP

I still don’t understand all the extreme anti-ai cult in these types of contexts. Oh well.

Whatever ai did, the right image looks better than the left.

I honestly think the anti ai thing has a lot of crowd mentality aspects to it. There’s reasons to dislike some of what big ai business is doing, more reasons to push for regulation. But this specific example? I got nothin…

No but I also don’t really care. I just think the language is dumb, because it is.

ROI has a more specific meaning. This wasn’t ROI by any means. They didn’t invest in anything. They bought some ram and because of inflation and high demand on ram, it’s now worth more.

It’s a stupid way to communicate, and incorrect.

Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment by comparing its net income or profit to its costs. It helps businesses assess the efficiency of their investments and make informed decisions about where to allocate resources.

Using ROI when someone bought a stick of ram for their PC is ridiculous.

He said it is a good roi, not that he bought it originally thinking of it as an investment

ROI: Return On Investment

“He said he got a good return on his investment, but it wasn’t an investment, he wasn’t thinking about investment returns, but he got a good return on his investment.”

Cheesus apeshit fucking christmas.

It’s a good ROI

You’re part of the problem.

Thinking buying PC memory “as an investment” so you can upsell it or just the thought process of “my RAM is appreciating in value”, is just so stupid to me…

But we’ve all been indoctrinated into this capitalist slop to varying degrees.

F that. Blaming everything on smartphones and social media is a copout and just wrong. If anything, the smartphone and social media is showing more people that they’re not going to be able to escape the capitalist rat race, and will never be able to make it big as an entertainer, influencer, or whatever else has a luxurious easy way of life.

I was afraid of the system before it was cool. Afraid of getting laid off. Afraid my landlord was going to raise rent on an already overpriced POS rental. Afraid I won’t have enough to retire. Afraid of getting asked to work overtime and afraid I’d get fired if I refused.

This crony capitalism sucks ass by design. Social media has a lot of beautiful people living lives most of us can only dream about, while many of us toil at 9to5’s we hate. Everythings more expensive. No rule of law for the most elite and powerful people in this country. They rape children and steal all our tax money and get away with it.

It ain’t social medias fault. Social media is helping to show many how much their life sucks and there’s no hope. The people supposed to be fighting for us aren’t doing shit. The checks and balances don’t work. People are seeing that this whole USA freedom nonsense was a complete fucking lie.

Same score but an LOL instead of ???

Seen it directly, on a small shih tzu type dog.

They still bark, just no noise, not even like a cough. You can just hear the sound of air forcing out. Kinda like their vocal chords are removed. I don’t know the actual procedure.

Very strange when you hear it. Seems very cruel too.

If you automatically and by default call it slop, I’m going to assume your art is slop.

If you use AI as a tool to create art, then of course it’s art and you thought it up.

LLMs are just tools. It ain’t that complicated.

To me, it’s like saying cgi isn’t art because it takes away from using paint brushes or colored pencils or whatever. I don’t remember when computer graphics first started coming out, were people calling it CGI slop? Probably too long ago to know.

This is just capitalism, isn’t it?

Athletes and entertainers that make millions do so because people pay for it in large numbers. This is what capitalism wants and does.

I agree with your sentiment but I think you’re just critiquing capitalism. If I had my way these people would be taxed up the wazoo. No baseball player or Hollywood actor should ever be worth 10s of millions, let alone hundreds, or billions.

Another point that I didn’t see mentioned: some can make a lot of money, or just easier money, compared to getting a real 9-5 type job.

I don’t care what the original creator said. Gif is pronounced Gif, and peanut butter is peanut butter.
