An absolute insane take that I'm not convinced isn't astroturfing. When I download an mp3 of Metallica it's a massive crime but when ai does it millions of times it's just "learning".

Portugal. I moved to LATAM but I wouldn't recommend it without knowing spanish or having a connection here first.

I’ve noticed this too. I’ve seen a ton ai defenders and hype people here. It’s embarrassing.

Same. They were great especially being single and working a lot. But the prospect of getting a parasite from their food is too much for me

This was my thought too. An unsupervised robot can cause 10s of thousands in damage by accidentally ripping a water line and flooding your house or just breaking all of your dishes. There’s no level to how dumb and awful LLMs can hallucinate

Boycott Taylor Farms. It’s clear they do not care at all about the health of the people they feed. I will never buy them again because how can I trust them.

Won't this just incentivize companies to move operations outside of the US where these models aren't regulated?

How much is some AI SaaS company or some AI training company paying for this type of data? It has to be a lot for them to risk doing something like this.

I wish we lived in a world where companies like this would be punished but I think they're just going to say oops, effectively blaming it on some intern and moving on without anything happening to them.

Those old movies with old visual effects are watchable and still enjoyable. This is never good, interesting or enjoyable.

Asking google to buy something you love in 2026 seems demented. They will destroy it. Do you actually hate alltrails? "This app with cool features would be much better if a soulless advertising Megacorp owned it"

I thought this was exaggerating but what happened to making art for arts sake. Nearly every time I hear or see AI art its extremely painful to me (with very few exceptions). I suppose it will get to the point of plastic surgery where the well crafted AI art will start to be difficult to discern from real art and at that point, maybe humanity should hang up the towel.

All that is to say, I like the originals so much more and would never in all eternity listen to the AI crafted stuff for listening enjoyment. I want to forget the AI versions like I had never heard them.
