funny how that works

@ai6yr nevermind! my lazy arse just researched it. very cool! and for anyone else wondering... here's an infographic

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

"For a while, it seemed like cycling’s pandemic boom might be just that—a temporary response to lockdowns, empty streets and crowded transit systems. But a major international study suggests something very different happened in the world’s leading cycling cities. Where governments continued investing in protected bike lanes, traffic calming and connected cycling networks, more people kept riding long after COVID restrictions ended."

The annoying thing about going to B&Q with my dad is that I will ask a B&Q man a question and fifty per cent of the time they reply to my dad.

The hilarious thing about going to B&Q with my dad is that he never lets men get away with this.

Really good piece. "You used to be able to be poor in a city and still live in it."

A city dies when its working people cannot afford living there.

Hey, I'm looking for somebody to translate a (potentially offensive???) short sentence from English to Latin for an art piece. Any classicists or church history fanatics want to help me out? I'll pay you!

Boosts appreciated!

Beware the package mimic

I see the AI companies are trying to make it seem like it’s the anti-AI sentiment that’s the propaganda effort.

The Gas Town Guy is charging hundreds of thousands of dollars for consulting sessions on his infamously expensive multi-model AI techniques, and all that money… “helps with” paying the hydra AI to take over making his old passion project video game for him.

jesus fucking christ. like seriously, jesus fucking christ what the hell that is so fucked up. my dude. my dude, the passionate young programmer in you who started with a janky compiler and a dream in the 90s is drowning in abject misery. This isn’t “using a tool to get routine work done” so you can focus on what matters, this is shoveling gold into the furnace-altar of Mammon as a desperate prayer that the Art you craved to make will somehow magically appear fully formed and you will finally, finally be free

Free to… what, though? Free to do what?!

@davidgerard Fucking amazing how these assholes are building absolutely nothing useful while wasting massive amounts of money and resources, devastating environments, and they have zero shame about it. Techbros need to be stopped, permanently.
