Oh we realised a long time ago

I feel like Captain Melons is probably a soft porn from the eighties

I just want the ai hate bubble to burst, the hype bubble probably needs to go as well but honestly I care less about that

Their families are already provided for for the next five generations, at least, assuming they’re all shite with money!

I seem to remember the Russians got stuck in mud and ran out of fuel pretty swifty I guess

Also the Russian invasion was anything but swift!

I didn’t have much respect for MAD magazine to start with, always seemed to be generic boomer humour from what I’ve seen.

This is utter fucking bollocks. Fuck all the way off

No, and it never has been

I completely agree, that;s why I like to call them FARTs. And it fits - they are radically transphobic and they do appropriate feminism despite not being feminist

I’m not sure I understand what the transphobe is saying (I don’t want to call these people radical feminists, they’re not).

Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes

James Blunt is hilarious. Awful music but excellent at self-deprecating humour

The amount of solar energy that hits the Earth every day is enough to power it for a year, and that’s not including wind, wave, or anything else. (yes I know we can’t gather it all but the amount of energy available is absolutely gigantic

The anti-ai luddites are about as intractable as trump cultists, and their arguments just as asinine

I think you mean:

yes (the environmental angle is a complete distraction and red herring from moving towards more sustainable energy production generally; the ethical one is just plain nonsense spread by people with absolutely no idea how these things work)

yes (people use and like them, people have fun with them and create great art with them. You might not but that’s a you problem)

and … well actually probably no tbh (but that’s a problem with capitalism not technology).

Stop making shit up to dismiss new technology because you’re a luddite

“Women are a bit of a grey area” - I choose to believe that’;s because my phone is pro-trans but doesn’t quite get it

Again, we need to shift towards renewables. AI is not the problem you’re angry with here, stop railing against new technology and new artistic media and start railing against oil companies

And by new I meant “not over a hundred years old”, not “over three months old”

Okay, you’re a luddite

I would watch an all-Muppet True Lies remake!

That’s something of a red herring. The source of that energy matters more than how much is used (use renewables where possible) - your ire is directed at entirely the wrong place; and also how much is used in computers and datacentres doing other stuff? If I’m generating pictures I’m not playing games, which is using the same card and probably more constantly.

I gotta congratulate you though, that’s an argument that to my knowledge was NOT levelled against photography when that was invented. I mean like all the other arguments it’s bollocks but at least it’s new! <pretty much every other argument against ai art was levelled at photography and many of therm at pre-mixed paints before that!>
