It was a free 'game' that was little more than a tutorial 🤷‍♂️

This is definitely one of those situations imo where such responsibility falls squarely on parents and inviting the government to handle such a thing will create far more issues than it would resolve.

I am no longer posting any of my work to reddit. Maybe if they started profit sharing with actual content creators I'd consider going back, but the hubris, greed, and animosity they've shown towards the users and mods that freely provide content/work that make the site worth anything has been infuriating.

I was a daily user for a frickin decade both posting and lurking.. Haven't been to reddit in almost 3 weeks now. Onward to the fediverse 👍

Seems like a ridiculous article. To attempt to put the blame for lack of action on climate change on science communicators for not expressing enough certainty is absurd. Policymakers have known damn well for decades the potential implications.. they are not ignoring climate action due to the uncertainty, but for all kinds of other political reasons.

I'd largely agree if it was as simple as people being allowed to make wrong choices.. But its much more than that. Nefarious actors have literally weaponized disinformation on social media in attempts to sow distrust, animosity, and general social unrest, and that absolutely needs to be addressed beyond just 'better education'. Governments have the challenge of balancing the peoples civil rights with maintaining a healthy and relatively orderly society.. I'm all for free speech but weaponized disinformation is a legitimate threat that shouldn't be downplayed. IMO.

An independent artist learning new styles and gaining inspiration in creating their own work is not at all the same as a profit driven software corperation stealing other artists works on a massive scale to develop their own commercial products. That's on top of most artists like myself prohibiting using our work for private commercial gain unless properly compensated or credited.

You know you don't have to have a conversation with the cashier right? I put my stuff on the conveyor, say 'yup' when asked if I find everything alright, and 'thanks' when they're finished.. Or just silently nod 🤷‍♂️

But literally two days ago I was at the store and the self checkouts were full with 7 people still waiting to use them, while one employee ran around trying to handle all the errors.. and only one standard checkout open for people with full carts. It was soo damn frustrating.

I'd like that too, the reality though is that she is the deciding vote on the judiciary committee right now and if she steps down the republicans will refuse to seat a replacement halting any confirmations.. So right now they feel like they have to Weekend at Bernies her in order to keep confirming judges. Politics sucks.

It's the price history of a product. It was $15 cheaper 2 weeks ago compared to the 'prime day' price. Browser plug-ins like camelcamelcamel will show charts like this

What were the most popular news sources for that demo in the past? Facebook? MySpace? Sunday morning cartoons? When has that demographic ever had a 'most popular news source'?

Also! The very first graph actually shows the BBC rated 10% higher than tiktok, but that's not click bait enough, so they separated the BBC into subcategories so they could say tiktok was highest 🤦‍♂️

For real. The whole list I'm like "good luck" ha. It's going to transcend reality by scraping data off Twitter and Reddit? Have fun with that. It sounds just like every other self assured egotistical 'guru' charlatan, completely talking out its digital ass.

I don't know if this holds true.. Can one truly be sure the self exists? Can you prove you are not just an AI in a system coded for the illusion of thought/choice?

"I think, therefore I am" sure.. But AI chat bots will also insist they think and 'are'.. But do those 'selfs' actually exist? 🤷‍♂️

This is one of those philosophical ideas that is ultimately irrelevant to me though, as were kinda forced to accept the world around us is "real" in order to function, whether it actually is or not..
I believe in you 😉

@RightHandOfIkaros If they are just painting for themselves to learn new techniques or styles, no. If they are purposely trying to copy it to sell or pass off as the original artist, yes. A for-profit corperation taking works that have not been authorized for commercial use in order to develop their for-profit software is indeed stealing.

Nothing fancy but I built and painted this one for my son for ~$100. Used one of those Namco arcade controllers, a cheap lcd from Craig's list, some wood and paint.. simple but it turned out pretty awesome 🤘

Thank you, it was planted by the farmers as a memorial to two lost loved ones

@brimnac it's not a 'someone' though. The AI isn't an actual consciousness. It's a software company illegally using other artists work to develop their own commercial product. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Movies are made for different reasons. Some are made for the 'art', but some are made simply for entertainment. Shitty B-movies are a whole genere about being so 'bad' they're fun, and that's they're purpose. Fast and Furious movies aren't being made for the art.

Poor Hugo gone to his final resting place.. 😢

I'll probably have to get the full pixel pals on my kids tablet to help support Christian.
