I always wondered if something like this could be possible in the future of terminals. glad to see kitty pushing the envelope! Looking forward to see this used for stuff like markdown rendering. Hoping this gets picked up by other terminals and neovim like the undercurl did.

Japan also has these at every convenience store:

they're not good but they do the job

Seattle is probably my favorite. Good hack for New York is to ask them to put the hot sauce they usually use for kebabs/gyro on it

I have this as a sticker on my water bottle

If you're going for "pop music all sounds the same", that doesn't really match my experience of actually listening to modern popular music. There's so much damn variety and unique sound out there these days. Although I'm not a professional musician so I guess I can't be sure what kinds of creative restrictions being in the industry puts on one

Soon for me "human being" will be high enough of a bar to be nontrivial to enforce

I loved programming since I was 14. This was an acceptable passion to spend time on because it would allow me to be successful (read: make money).

My sister always loved visual art, and is now in art school. This is an unacceptable passion, and when she tells people that she's in art school the first response is almost always "oh so what are you planning to do with that degree?"

We have been conditioned into a very narrow definition of success. It's not surprising then that we start seeing art as "the next big problem to solve", and you have all these tech bros frothing at the mouth to be the first to "solve" it and become the next startup billionaire.

Low-effort art and music has always been around. You don't see anyone bumping those inoffensive cover albums and lounge remixes that you hear at the mall or the driving range in their cars though. Anyone who doesn't already love listening to music isn't in that position because of a lack of options in the (sigh) market. So I promise you won't see "billions of new customers" dying to consume derivative slop music.

one thing I hate about AI images is that if you have multiple of the same subject in the image, they often all look exactly the same. the backs and faces of those leopards are eerie in their uniformity

you're right, it's definitely easier to market and push a high budget movie or game and make a ton of money off of it. I guess I was thinking of total labor involved in publishing a book vs a movie without considering whether it will actually be read/watched

books are hard to make compared to tv/movies and video games?? how?
