How do you feel about Deepfakes? We all recognize that the person in the pic is Danny Devito but where’s he credited? Do you think he got any say or reimbursement for having his likeness stolen?
Even in this spirit there are so much funnier stills from ISAIP that could’ve been used with credit to the creators that would’ve got the same point across. This trash appeals only to the lowest common denominator of people online (see: X)
AI (image diffusion) is garbage and I can’t wait until idiots realize it’s only available right now for pennies on the query at an enormous deficit by billions in slush funds who are trying to prove a concept. But I don’t trust Xwitter idiots (and the people who eat their shit up) to not just add another $19.99/month subscription to their “budget.”
And they made a good picture with said tool.
Wrong. Even ignoring personal taste, “they” didn’t “make” anything. A computer software “made” a picture based off stealing the metadata of decades of human-made content. A person typed in a string of words and clicked a button a few times until they saw a picture that they liked.
Finally
Creativity: … I don’t feel a sense of pride when I order a burger from Burger King. I don’t think, “I made that” simply because I ordered the burger. However, if I make the buns from scratch at home and make the vegetarian hamburger patties from scratch at home and put together a burger, the process is vastly different and I did create a burger while experiencing the pleasure of the process of making it happen. This is why I get irritated when someone says, “I made this image” when referring to a generated image. You didn’t “make” anything. You had computer software generate an image for you.

This reply made me chuckle
this is always how it starts. first a post, then a whole announcement
Obviously homeboys first HL3 hype round. I will boil and eat my work boots on livestream if anything called “Half Life 3” gets released in 2025. Screenshot this

Doesn’t help how owner-hostile modern cars are, either

I worked at a Pizza Hut in highscool and the first months of college. I’d never eat there as a civilian but some of the shit were (the workers) made was downright delectable.
There’s a kind of “unofficial” pizza hut menu that employees share around with all kinds of crazy stuff that you could never get just by customizing it online. The “twice-baked Hut Favorite meatball supreme” was my favorite.

You type like a child. I was genuinely shocked to see in the comments that you’re a 21yo male. If this is how you talk to people who are closer to you, that might be the reason

- Comment on Would there be any merit in the idea of NATO waging a "benevolent war" (for lack of a better term) against Ukraine? 2 months ago:
NATO isn’t an army, it’s a defense pact. Member countries can’t just launch an attack against a non-member country (especially to “protect” said non-member).
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 2 months ago:
I think it’s fair to say that ~80% of voters will just follow whatever their party’s media outlets say they should vote for. If a proper leftist and actually got the DNC nomination, I don’t think many classic liberals would think twice about voting for them.
- Comment on What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game? 4 months ago:
Yeah lol. This seems to be a popular opinion in the larger gaming community. They really nailed the pirate life
- Comment on What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game? 4 months ago:
Black Flag, followed closely by 3. It doesn’t hurt that those were released right at the peak of my interest in gaming, but I replayed BF within the past two years and it still holds up super well
- Comment on Concord Director Steps Down As Studio Behind Historic PlayStation Flop Waits For Sony's Decision 4 months ago:
It’s actually pretty crazy just how hard that game flopped. I would have always thought that a company like Sony could’ve just brute-forced such a big project to achieve some success (or at least break even), but 25,000 units sold is almost unheard of for a game as expensive as Concord.

Step 0: be born in an underpopulated, NATO-subsidized ethnostate with a history of eugenics that would make America blush
- Comment on Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More 4 months ago:
Funny because I noticed the haptic feedback for the first time recently after owning my PS5 for over a year and was instantly looking for ways to disable it. I don’t trust an unnecessary vibrating motor not to fuck up the parts of the controller I actually care about and the Dualsense battery life is abysmal enough as it is
- Comment on High Beam 4 months ago:
“Dr*nk” is a slur, we prefer “person who drinks.” And it’s only a couple beers to get the shakes down before I get on the road and a couple of road beers as needed if they come back
- Comment on High Beam 4 months ago:
When I was younger I’d always make sure to toss a beer can straight at the windshields of those jerkasses. Always had plenty rolling around in the foot wells. Might just have to start doing that again as long as automakers keep shipping out cars with the head of Helios shoved into where the headlamps are supposed to be
- Comment on I have been to jail in the US. How come they always offer a bible instead of offering you different religious books like a quran? 4 months ago:
Probably sponsored by a local Church. I’m sure that prisons in areas with large Jewish, Muslim, etc. populations have similar programs.
Talking out of my ass here, I can’t imagine it would be that difficult for someone to get a holy book from a different religion, though

Dollar General is cancer. Their prices are no better than somewhere like Walmart, the only “good” thing is the convenience, I feel like I can’t drive ten minutes without passing one
- Comment on Trump criticizes Harris, Biden over Afghanistan withdrawal on 3-year anniversary 5 months ago:
Not only that, but a withdrawal that was done, by all accounts, pretty by-the-numbers. It was a withdrawal, the US was going to pull out their forces, that’s what the word means. The ANSF were the ones who failed their people.
Seriously, ask someone about how “bad” the withdrawal was and they’ll go on about nonsense that even they don’t even care about.

- Comment on Inflation? 5 months ago:
No? The inflation of the past few years was way too apparent for the current administration to ignore in their reelection campaign, but “inflation” is a scary word with some serious political connotations that no sitting official wants to connect themselves to. Instead, you just say “it’s not inflation, It’s corporate greed!” and you’re saying the same thing twice.
See how “Depression” became “Recession” which became “Economic Downturn”
- Comment on Inflation? 5 months ago:
Always has been. Saying “I-its not inflation! It’s… corporate greed!” was always a political decision and nothing more

Maybe my comment was a bit rude but please don’t teach your daughter to instantly distrust people based on their gender. That’s a recipe for undersocilization that’s going to fuck her up for a long time
