Exactly. The order is correct, the items are counting backwards, not forwards. It’s not hard to fathom.

Counting down bothers you?

Some people have “,work responsibilities” brain and can’t turn it off. When I go home at night, work gets left behind. They can’t pay me enough to take it home with me. My boss, burns the candle at both ends to make sure everything is perfect, and we still deal with chaos, because that’s life. Leave work at work.

It was definitely a test of their power. Notice the instigators did not face any justice, only the foot soldiers. They also proved the inability to prevent disaster in “the pipe bomb incident” that went unsolved. That did not make anyone in Congress sleep any lighter. It’s also likely why we don’t see much push back. Trump is the fucking mob, and you’ll face the mobs justice if you step out of line.

Hey man, believe what you want. You are wrong and I ain’t afraid of telling you so. I’ll bet a million bucks you don’t know a single artist. I know dozens of them, but only one that likes to use AI, that I am aware of. Not a lot of use for it in the sculpture medium I suppose? I’m an artist to, though not commercially. I can barely draw, have no interest in using AI for anything. I’m just saying, but you’re not here for it. Cool. Big boogey man scary! I get it.

It’s not me or my art. Dude is an amazing artist, in any media format. I am not being disengenous, nice try. I am also not defending fake AI art as art. Just like any tool, in the right hands it can craft marvelous things. How is using rendering software any different? It just speeds up the process, but time and effort are still applied. You have to know how to use it to use it well. He does t generate images, he enhances his own art. He also went back to school on his 40s to study machine learning because he finds it fascinating and cool. Not your average Joe.

What if actual artist are using AI to enhance their art. Like, they draw stuff and then scan and edit with AI imaging software to make changes and add depth, etc. Is that allowed? It’s still an artist creating art, they just enhance it with readily available editing software?

It’s more than just dumb. It’s senseless. You gotta divorce yourselves from the love of the gun, cause this is never going to stop until you do. If it’s acceptable to you, carry on. Nothing to see here.

What? Like, what the actual fuck?! You are inventivizing machines to deny service because it will make their tech daddies money?! That is beyond fucked if it actually works like that in any capacity. Get the insurance industry out of healthcare

And they’ve been running it since your parents were younger than you now. This has got to change, get our parents politicians out of office!

Exactly, only dumb America hicks think America was ever some great nation. They’re just the biggest bully on the block and they can’t stop patting themselves on the back about it.

Looks like a Tesla design

It took me years to convince my boss that getting a raise to match inflation isn’t a raise and not getting at least that is a pay cut. He’s the economics guy too…

This is why America will never compete with places like japan or China because they build dedicated rail for their transport networks.

Guess what. I visit my doctor, for free, (or dentist for $$$) they give me a prescription, I go to a pharmacy and give them the slip, they take some time to fill it, explain how to take it, and then I pay a small fee (80% covered by employer health plan at no direct cost to me) and walk away. Canadian healthcare system at work.

Sure, I have to wait sometimes for major surgery based on the triage approach (most serious cases seen first) but it is painlessly easy to get the care I need when I need it. This is how most of the developed world works. Your country is cheating you.
