There really would be no way to have an interface that shuts it down, that an AI wouldn’t be able to compromise. Though I imagine the military will set up a plan to blow up it’s connections to power and the internet should it go rouge.

MySpace and LiveJournal as well, but I am 99% LJ is mostly around for the benifits of George R. R. Martin

9 whole days is like 50 years in virus!

It feels like everyday I hear or see a dementia joke after my mom was diagnosed. It hurts being reminded literally everywhere I go for escape

The foundation of YouTube was people taking episodes of TV shows and trying to get around the auto filter by putting images off to the side etc. This has been common and previlant for a very long time now. Also see the ancient meme of “I made this”

I feel artists who came into their strides around the same time C&H should be very careful to not sound like the luddites that berated them at the beginning of their career

You’d think someone using computer programs to make basically stick figures would be a little more open minded about variety in art mediums

There is so much to unpack here that I think someone would automatically get a honorary degree if they bothered to refute this. It’s incredibly absurd to me that we have artists doing charcoal drawing so expertly crafted that it could pass for a hi-res photo, people mixing mathematical formulas with the lessons of classical art to make recursive multimedia pieces, etc etc. Art is in a fine place, there is a lot of it sure but the masterpieces are still out there

Ah this is what happened to that old man in the first clerks movie

The first wars were thought to be a bunch of people facing off and throwing rocks and sticks at each other. We’ve been throwing shit for as long as we could walk

Why take a principled stand against those who are pushing this when you can just say “government” and leave everyone thinking this is a bipartisan problem?

Next up, people flip out because their baulder gate enemies make actions without another person’s input!

Then it is no longer copywrited

Why a certain date? That feels arbitrary

Can it recreate anything 1:1? When both my wife and I tried to get them to do that they would refuse, and if pushed they would fail horribly.
