Thanks! It’s always better to try to make the world a better place than it is to peddle billionaire vaporware while mislabeling the most basic concepts of art. I’m so glad we agree this prompt engineer is a witless dishcloth.

Zero energy wasted calling out dumb shit. It’s never a bad idea to rip into AI slip, especially in the context of things we can spend less energy on. Browbeating was incredibly influential in the dismantling of NFTs, which you correctly pointed out is just as bad a citizen as genAI turds.
Absolutely! Hyped-up vaporware like genAI and blockchain speculation should be nuked from orbit. Glad we agree this all garbage.
Undercover FBI agents later made contact with Yener and convinced him they wanted to help him carry out an attack, it says. They tracked Yener throughout the summer and into the fall.
How the fuck this isn’t entrapment has confused everyone for decades. A convincing argument can be made that the current US right-wing terrorist problem only exists because 75% of those chucklefucks are informants interested in entrapment so it doesn’t surprise me they’ve expanded outside the white power movement.
Shit, why not start with all the wasted energy generating the slop first? You’re solving the wrong problem.
I don’t normally get mad at genAI art. This one makes me mad. A huge part of Bosch is the tiny detail. There’s scholarly debate about how we interpret the detail; it’s incredibly wrong to say something is in the style of Hieronymus Bosch without clever little details. This AI garbage just has a bunch of repeated lens flares, age marks, and blobs. Also in the style of Bosch implies something we can interpret, be it a dark take on office work or capitalists teaching us lessons. I don’t know what the fuck we can take away from this.
This is more “someone with the title ‘prompt engineer’ spent three minutes hunt-and-pecking the name ‘Hieronymus Bosch’ into midjourney and grabbed the first image that was sort of muted earth tones” than “remotely in the vicinity of the style of Hieronymus Bosch.”
Thank you! I was pretty fucking sure there was stupidity related to Liam but could not for the life of me find anything in search.
This is pretty far from a proof of any variety. I think the spirit is there and the ideas are great. Spend a little more time on the execution, maybe tie in some Quine, and I think you’d have something.
And as long as you don’t need simple access to most features such as volumes. The podman implementation on not Linux leaves quite a bit to be desired for anyone trying to do more than just run a binary wrapped in a container. I’m not throwing shade because it’s FOSS and anything is better than Docker. Only Docker will work for a production-capable dev environment on not Linux unless podman’s development has exponentially increased in the last year since I tried to move a shop to podman on not Linux.
As long as you’re on Linux, podman is superior and will do all of the things you’re asking about. If you need to also support Windows or Mac, Docker is the only thing that will work (although people have told me Rancher isn’t bad now for a couple of years).
What the actual fuck? Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat are mass social media platforms. Bluesky is as well because it’s sure as fuck not federated. There has always been a crew of people that only use one platform vs another going all the way back to BBSs. The headline isn’t supported because we’re not going back to the forum days, leaving mass social media behind, and the article just describes the MySpace vs Facebook vs Friendster conflict oh wait the Facebook vs Instagram vs Twitter conflict oh wait the Instagram vs Snapchat vs Vine conflict oh wait the Reddit vs Facebook vs X conflict oh wait… As someone that was never much on Twitter and who yelled at lots of people who kept supporting fascism during the X transition, I feel like journalists really overindex on people that use Twitter.
Should I quote your comments about the same? I love this discussion because the original non sequitur you made seems to apply to these responses! It’s great feedback. I also liked the “tilting at windmills” joke; how clever to ironically misuse a quote from around the same time as the ironic mislabeling of the artist!
