Why would I care at that point? I'm not living with a pig's heart. That's disgusting. Imagine someone being so afraid of dying they were willing to have a pig's heart transplanted. There's nothing someone like that wouldn't do.

My impartial assessment of reality is disgusting? lol that's like if someone says the sky is blue and a colorblind person tells that's a disgusting view.

Skyrim had that mechanic. You could eat ingredients for potions and if you had a duplicate it would tell you the effects, and the next time you found the ingredient again you would know what it was.

>ongoing training of even-more-interesting generative AI depends on the ongoing labor of artists. What does that mean? That you need artist to produce "even-more-interesting" art to train new iterations of generative AI? Could you point out some of these superfresh new art artist are doing that are completely different than things already done to exhaustion in the 1970s (other than anime)?

I don't think you need artists for that anymore. Certainly you don't need them for commercial purposes. If they are going to survive as an artist professionally, it will be because of the people that refuse to use AI art for whatever reason, but I don't see how that won't be short lived in the market.

Artists will survive, not professionally, but because they are doing it for the arts sake, even if that doesn't offer them any financial reward.

It comes from imputing the facts into GPT 3.5 and asking it to write an article.

Its the opposite of what you may think. High T makes you more sexual and less inhibited. Many, many, many, many people turn to the dark side after using anabolic steroids. Even if they don't become full Sith masters, they often still like to dabble in dark side of Thailand.

Fast food is also full of PFAS.

Amazon, Ebay, Yeezy (which was better than most), Armani, Nike, any assortment of the regular webshopping webiste, even computer parts shopping websites lol. They're all slow and a glithcy mess. They're all horrible. Trying to browse them on my old 13inch screen thinkpad is akin to torture.

I have modern I7, 64GB RAM, RTX3090, a 7gbps NVME SSD and a 1Gbps internet connection. Can run pretty much any game maxxed out in 4k with 100 fps. Download 100GB files in few minutes. Can do all sorts of tasks and workloads. Can calculate the 20th billionth number of PI in a microsecond. What I cant do however is use twitter without stutters and hitches, or windows, or any shopping website.

Nice work, webdevelopers!

Well, at least he can do things that are more advanced than using a internet browser. Which is impossible on Windows.

Do people not just use linux by default nowadays? I had to install Windows for AI stuff recently and it was such pain, literally took me the whole day for the "just works" drivers to actually work. That would have never happened on linux. Who puts up with that still, if its not your only alternative to run some specific program? Also Nautiuls (default file manager) sucks so bad, even the windows one is better, other than that Ubuntu is fine. Mint is better "just works distro" thought.
