On TIL? A shitpost, sure it’s possible, but I see people not understand averages pretty regularly.

I mean, by definition half of the countries will be below average. It’s a normal distribution— literally by definition since the distribution is set that way.

Or if they played Tetris regularly. (Although that might be correlational only).

Spreading the furry gospel, as it were. Great friend indeed, lol

Oh. The campus I teach uses juice box. I wonder what’ll happen to them.

That looks like the headshot she used to get the part to play Simba’s mom.

It’s ok, Simba gets two gay dad’s and everything works out fine. Hakuna Matata!

Oh for sure, but let’s say I’m running the model locally using my GPU instead of, say, using it to play a game using that GPU. It’s all technically wasteful, but by that standard everything we use our computers for are wasteful. I’m not even sure if running it locally counts for usage statistics, either, although I suppose download counts could.

Granted, I don’t like the wasteful use of AI models (especially unsolicited bullshit from copilot) and I certainly don’t like the use of stolen material for corporate gain, but I’ve never been against individuals using pirated software, music, video, etc, for personal usage even before AI.

Don’t have an argument against it normalizing the behavior, though. I’d like to believe there’s an ethical way to adopt new technology without screwing some people over, but that’s probably not possible under capitalism.

Everyday angry is usually due to stupid and/or entitled people, but as a teen I experienced blind rage before and that’s a lot harder to explain. You kind of blank out and go after someone, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, truly beast mode. That was usually from bullying or dealing with my alcoholic father, though.

Now a days anger is probably closer to irritation than anything. Which is kind of a shame, I used to use anger to get things done. I once was so angry at a teacher for an unfair C in an art class that I channeled that into the most haunted self portrait I think he ever saw for the final. I ultimately got an A. Does spite count as it’s own emotion? Lol

Yeah that sounds like standard Bob’s Furniture. My dad often ordered from them, and still does since he never seems to learn and low prices hijack his common sense.

Plus it’s not like it’s commercial usage, nor would you have hired artists to illustrate all your characters for a session like that. It’s one of the few ethical usages of AI, imo.

Reminds me that AI can be used for OG Baulders Gate / Icewind Dale style character portraits. Stable Diffusion literally has a Lora for it, iirc.

I had to update my LG recently and it had to get approval for all sorts of weird shit. Oddly enough, it let me continue using just about everything even after I denied all the very invasive checkboxes. I guess even they can’t deny use of your own tv if you reject the agreement lol

I needed a reference picture to give remote tech support to my octogenarian grandma. Circles were my addition.

Not gonna lie, as a terrible bowler I to have considered violence (particularly those fucking pins mocking me).

To get the kids to bed and start up a video game. That’s all. That’s all it takes for me now a days.

When I think “AI will end humanity” I was thinking a sort of Skynet type deal, not… this. Sigh.

I wish more people knew what Run… did, but the Ctrl + v should be a little more obvious. We need to teach more computer literacy if you don’t immediately know that means you’re copying text to something.

Especially on a shady site, mind you. But then again, this could be on a phishing email, so that’s not always the case I guess. (I got one from “STARBUCKS” that Gmail didn’t catch, their spam filter has been shit lately, blocking my work emails but letting through a lot of sus stuff).

That makes more sense. You know I don’t think Jackie circa early 2000 was all that pro China. I think it ends up being one of those old age changes people. Or… concussions.

Oh yeah, he was. Only as certain annoying voices but yeah.
