I think you’re hyperbolic about how Art will look in the future. “Art” as a category includes absolutely anything and everything; from a child’s doodle to an as hoc arrangement of pinecones on a forest floor.

Authors and their works will always exist, even as AI-generated content floods the internet; the complete works of Dumas, for instance, are public domain, will never disappear, and will always have readers.

What we’re witnessing right now is a flood of AI slop across every medium, from visual arts to books to music; and yeah, there will always be a Lowest Common Denominator kind of audience that won’t recognise slop as being slop; but just like how there’s currently a resurgence of vinyl, there will always been a hunger for genuine, authentic, human-created art across every medium.

Well that’s some bullshit

You need to rethink your social media campaign, and please leave all of us on Lemmy alone.

The white filling in those, is that sour creme?

Apparently Microsoft views success as Quarterly Profits, and long term planning for the future has taken a backseat.

They’ve been floundering for a while. Eliminating jobs only guarantees they’ll flounder even longer.

Corporations don’t care about people. This bank doesn’t care about you. Banks care for no one but themselves.

Wow, it’ll be so great having these summaries nobody asked for added to various feeds so that they can be scrolled past and ignored!

1 hour of gym per day will provide zero mental health benefits when coupled with how little sleep you’re planning to have.

Catnip treats that have lost their freshness. She don’t notice when I throw out the old ones anyway

Visit some Garden Centres near you- often they’ll have seed mixes of local perennial flowers available for purchase, you just need to spread the seeds in the spring or autumn.

Also, “weeds” aren’t always weeds, they’re just plants that some people decided get in the way of monocultures. If it’s flowering, it’s feeding insects, so leave it be.

The fireflies are awesome in my area this summer and my humble yard is part of that. It’s honestly so satisfying watching plants come back year after year, bigger and bigger

Yay more hype. Just what we needed more of, it’s hype, at last

Was it apple? I just heard about them last week but they seem expensive

Imagine a boot SO mighty that if it exists it might crush you, so you need to lick it ahead of time so that someday if it does exist, it might not crush you.

1. The Earth itself doesn’t have to be hanging in the balance. Smaller plots are just fine.

2. I don’t need a month-long plot broken into 2hrs; I’d really rather have a more limited duration being represented.

More on that point: I recently watched the Director’s Cut of Napoleon, and found myself wishing it didn’t have such a “biopic” feel, where 20 years of events was condensed down to 3.5hrs. Quite frankly I’d rather have a vibe more like “The Raid: Redemption” where it doesn’t have to be Real Time, but closer to that serves a better narrative.

I keep thinking back to Rogue One, at the end of Act 2 where our Team Of Heroes has been assembled and they’re traveling towards the epic showdown that is Act 3. They’ve got a few days to spend in hyperspace, and we get one brief scene establishing that fact, quick banter between a few people, and off to the big showdown.

It felt so rushed to me that I wondered what I was missing over those days spent in travel; how characters were preparing themselves for what was next, how they were reconciling the events that led them to this; there is an utter wealth of joy that can be found by just slowing down and letting characters exist in time, instead of just minimal exposition followed by action.

Lmao I love this

TBotNS is awesome

Maybe if LLMs were “non-human intelligence” then Yes. But, No.

Perpetually, when cooking meat.

Never heard of it, and you provided no context either. :)

It has become an ongoing issue that my wife complains that she smells something, then gets angry at me if I am unable to smell that same smell, sometimes accusing me of gas lighting her or calling her a liar, when actually I just don’t smell the smell she’s smelling.

I’m not making implications or accusations, I’m not trying to mislead or confuse her, I just can’t smell whatever she’s smelling and that fact frustrates the heck out of her as though I’m personally letting her down. Then she gets a bit aggro and I have to change the garbages / kitchen compost in the hopes that perhaps those are the sources of the smells I can’t smell. Sometimes that helps. She will never change the garbage or take out the compost herself.

When she insisted that she smelled a gas leak from our furnace that I couldn’t smell, we called a professional who confirmed our furnace was working fine and there was no gas leak; but I was still the villain for denying the gas leak ahead of time. Three times in the last 6 months this has been a thing.

Can’t speak for every guy, but some of us will make sure to give extra room on the sidewalk to purposefully indicate that we’re not a threat. A bit of mud is a small price to pay to know that we have prevented even a modicum of fear from springing up in the hearts of a random passerby.

Many of us understand why women choose the Bear over the Man.
