Vote early. Almost every single area in the US has early voting at least 2 weeks before elections. People complain about long lines and lack of ballots on election day. You know what you get if you stumble into a polling place before that? A couple of bored poll workers in an otherwise empty building. You get your ballot, fill it out, and leave within 5 minutes. I seriously don’t understand why this isn’t used more.
I mean, it makes sense. What kind of psychopath goes to a buc-ees and only gets gas? That’s like going to Disney World and only riding the tram.
Like most people who use YouTube Music, I was grandfathered in after Google Music shut down and have YouTube premium bundled with it.
So with that, it absolutely plays when not in focus and has no ads.
That said, it absolutely is just recommending the same old things that usually show up on my playlists.
What a great way to let your friends and loved ones know you are insufferable to deal with and will drop a rant on them about your minor inconveniences at every opportunity.
Yea. He got lucky. Lucky he spent years studying to become a doctor and then further years studying gene editing and the roots of genetic diseases. All luck. No skill or hard work at all. Just a lucky break.
I’d argue it would be ethical if the puppies were already on fire.
He cured a genetic disease. Wtf is wrong with that?!
They only hate him now because he’s endorsed Kamala
But there’s still a human behind the wheel. AI hasn’t gone rogue and is creating stuff 100% autonomously. Someone still has to give it prompts and make various tweaks to get it to generate the image they want. There is still human intentions and choices being made.
That’s what I mean by definitions that try to exclude AI art fall flat, because AI is a tool. Nothing more. We don’t dismiss digital artists for not using ink or paint. We don’t say people who create impressive 3D printed works aren’t being creative because they aren’t using a hammer and chisel. People have access to digital instruments and can create whole songs by mixing them from their phone, we don’t claim it’s not music.
AI is a tool. An actual human person prompts it and manipulates it to create a work. It’s infinitely faster than previous methods of creating art, and takes a hell of a lot less training and experience, but it’s still art. For better or worse, it’s still humans sharing their intentions, thoughts, and emotions with the world.
A thought provoking work that conveys a strong emotion or sense.
As there are many AI images that involve a sense of beauty, disgust, wonder, hatred, or intrigue; yes.
AI is creating art.
Any definition that tries to exclude AI art must jump through hoops to explain why the restriction doesn’t also apply to traditional works. And if your definition has to twist itself and constantly make exceptions, then it’s just a poor definition.
I think it’s wild how the Bible basically says there are many other gods. Yahweh only claims to be the greatest and commands his followers to only worship him. Sometimes over the years, that became interpreted as “there is only one God” despite the Bible not saying that.
If you have YouTube premium, why do you have Spotify? YouTube music is comparable and better in some cases.
Ah yea, missed the post title. My bad.
Nevermind, missed the post title
Maybe the comments here are, but the original tweet has literally zero reference to it. There is no joke in the original tweet, just pearl clutching.
Early images from sea of thieves are just hilarious.
Is there a joke I’m missing?
I mean yea? It’s election day for an election that I think both sides consider pretty important. Granted, that’s a bit of hyperbole, but this is a far cry from a call to violence. Harris could say the exact same thing, in fact she’s likely has said something similar.
Saying this is a threat isn’t just an overreaction, it’s downright embarrassing. This is the kind of crap the right shares to try and paint Dems as weak, thin-skinned, idiots.
Trump says so much awful shit that warrants this reaction, but not EVERYTHING does FFS.
There were a bunch of closed door meetings with upper management and the busy season was set to end in a few weeks, so the writing was on the wall.
I had some of the most consistently highest metrics so I went into our VP of Operations office and straight up asked if I would be let go on X date. He told me no.
To be fair, he kept his word. About 70% of the staff were let go on that date. I was let go 2 days after that.
Yep, I get no positive feelings from exercise. I do it to keep my blood pressure down and I fucking hate it. People say after a while it begins to feel good and you look forward to it and I want to punch all those people in the face. I started about 4 months ago and I’ve hated every day I’ve gone.
Exercise fucking sucks. I get hot and sweaty and feel like shit afterwards. The only positive emotion is a vague sense of relief that it’s over when I’m finished.

People very rarely survive significant burns. I know the article says 50/50, but he is essentially dead. The infection risk is just too high.
