Shit stirring on the internet? Preposterous!
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
People are taking this way too literally. It’s just a goofy meme that’s expressing a general sentiment.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 7 months ago:
Don’t get me wrong, I think that’s where the money should come from too. I just meant where else is the money going to come from in the current US healthcare system.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a country where that’s the case right now. I think it is still a very good thing to donate blood, despite having for-profit/privatized healthcare.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 7 months ago:
Fair enough. If that’s the philosophy you want to live by, then who am I to say otherwise.
Personally, I’d rather help people the best I can in the world I live in.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 7 months ago:
But where does the money come from? It sucks that in the US it has to come from the patient, but that’s the world we live in right now. I think it’s worth doing all the good you can with the tools available at the moment. Even if it’s not perfect.
I’m just assuming you’re in the US. Sorry if that’s not the case and your country has a different situation.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 7 months ago:
That’s a terrible reason. You would rather a patient in need not have blood available than be charged for it?
There is definitely price gouging in blood. But it also requires testing, transportation, and storage before it can be used. The money for all that has to come from somewhere (unfortunately in the US it’s usually the patient).
- Comment on AI-Music Arms Race: Meet Udio, the Other ChatGPT for Music 7 months ago:
Suno is a bit more active (just because it’s been around longer) and there are some hilarious songs there too. I Glued My Balls to My Butthole is one of my favorites.
- Comment on AI-Music Arms Race: Meet Udio, the Other ChatGPT for Music 7 months ago:
I feel exactly the same way. I can now be creative in ways I couldn’t before. Sometimes I’ll use my own lyrics, sometimes I’ll use ChatGPT to write lyrics and I’ll edit. It’s really fun to play with the same lyrics in different genres too.
- Comment on AI-Music Arms Race: Meet Udio, the Other ChatGPT for Music 7 months ago:
No worries, I just wanted to share a couple cool AI tools. Figured this sub was as good as any to post about Suno and Udio in.
- Comment on AI-Music Arms Race: Meet Udio, the Other ChatGPT for Music 7 months ago:
I thought so too. It’s really fun to mess around with as someone who isn’t very musically inclined. I did a quick search on Lemmy and was surprised to see neither has really been posted about.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump, as everyone remembers they like Fallout 7 months ago:
I’d definitely recommend it. I played it about a year after release and didn’t encounter any of the bugs/problems that people were experiencing right after release.
It’s not the best FO game, but it was still a lot of fun. All the new cryptids/mutants were very cool, and the scenery/environments were great.

- Comment on The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump, as everyone remembers they like Fallout 7 months ago:
I was pretty nervous about the show, but it far exceeded my expectations. It did a great job staying mostly true to the FO universe, and striking a balance between the serious, dark humor, and absurd tones of the games.
Hopefully we get another Fallout game sometime this decade.
- Comment on If Hitler was captured, what would have been his punishment in the Nuremberg Trials? 7 months ago:
OP wasn’t asking for an accurate answer. The question presupposes Hitler is convicted in the Nuremberg trials.
- Comment on People liked AI art – when they thought it was made by humans 7 months ago:
Everything you just listed can be human inputs to AI generated art. Humans still drive/manipulate the inputs, it’s just in a different way. A human can still come up with an artistic vision or idea and manipulate the tools (prompt) to that end.
Obviously you can use minimal creativity to get unremarkable AI art, but you can do the same in photography with a point and shoot camera. It’s about the creativity and artistic vision, not the tool.
I agree, there are tons of photographs a computer can’t generate. Because it’s a different artform. Just as there are tons of paintings a photographer could never create.
- Comment on People liked AI art – when they thought it was made by humans 7 months ago:
Photography is just pointing a camera and pressing a button. It takes no skill.
See, it’s easy to be reductive.
How do you define art? Is it dependent on the amount of “skill” required to create it? What even is artistic skill? Is one allowed to use auto-focus for a photograph to be considered art? Do you have to develop your own film?
These are all irrelevant thresholds on the inputs for something to be considered art. What determines whether or not something is art is the output of a creative process.
- Comment on People liked AI art – when they thought it was made by humans 7 months ago:
People had the same complaints about photography many years ago. Times change.
People putting boundaries on what is and isn’t art has probably existed for as long as art has.

Watch this and it should clear things up.
- Comment on YSK: The "Troubled Teen" industry that was big in the 90's and 2000's was not only a complete sham, but was (and STILL is) horrifically abusive and traumatic. 8 months ago:

- Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for? 8 months ago:
You’re right, SATA isn’t going anywhere for a very long time. If you have a need for 4+ TB of total storage there is nothing at all wrong using HDDs or 2.5" SSDs.

- Comment on Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption 9 months ago:
I stand corrected. There is literally no functional difference between “currency” and (at least some) crypto.
- Comment on Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption 9 months ago:
You literally just gave the textbook definition of a currency. The only difference is that crypto isn’t backed by a government.
- Comment on Police departments are using AI to review bodycam footage, and police unions are not happy about it 9 months ago:
“A police state keeps everyone safe”
…
“No wait, not like that”
- Comment on Police departments are using AI to review bodycam footage, and police unions are not happy about it 9 months ago:
The people most likely to be abused by police are the least likely to be able or willing to file a formal complaint.
- Comment on Couple suing Google Maps after it sent them to a notorious crime hotspot where they were brutally attacked and robbed at gunpoint 9 months ago:
It’s a high crime neighborhood because criminals live there. Or more precisely, because it’s a poor, gang infested neighborhood.
What you’ve said makes no sense. There are high crime neighborhoods like this all over the country independently of what Google maps does. There are also neighborhoods full of tourists that aren’t high crime areas.
- Comment on Chinese hackers ready to ‘wreak havoc’ on critical US infrastructure with 50-to-1 cyber personnel advantage, FBI director warns 9 months ago:
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I don’t think my comment is really related the points you’ve brought up.
- Comment on Chinese hackers ready to ‘wreak havoc’ on critical US infrastructure with 50-to-1 cyber personnel advantage, FBI director warns 9 months ago:
I guess my comment was a bit vague. China is certainly currently interfering with our systems on a smaller scale. I was referring to a large scale, widespread cyber attack as described in the article.
It’s highly likely China is capable of of that sort of attack. But I don’t see how we’re more at risk of that happening now than any other military action.
Another commenter described it well as another theater of a potential war, not necessarily that a war is imminent at this point
- Comment on Chinese hackers ready to ‘wreak havoc’ on critical US infrastructure with 50-to-1 cyber personnel advantage, FBI director warns 9 months ago:
That’s what it seems like to me. I don’t see China executing a cyber attack without being willing and able to follow up with military action. Preparation, as you said.
Tensions don’t seem high enough currently for that to be the case, but perhaps someday they will be. At that point we’d be facing an all out war.
- Comment on Chinese hackers ready to ‘wreak havoc’ on critical US infrastructure with 50-to-1 cyber personnel advantage, FBI director warns 9 months ago:
I understand that the US is likely vulnerable to cyber attack, but is a widespread attack by China likely?
I mean, let’s say China does disable infrastructure, banking, etc in a coordinated and widespread attack. But then what? An attack on that scale is an act of war, and I doubt China would follow up with military action.
Perhaps this is more of a preventive MAD type strategy? Essentially a warning to the US to not mess with China, or else these are the consequences.
