Having a chance of winning means you are on the right, that's the whole thing

I'll admit, this video particularly stands out to me because it is an honest attempt by a team of professional artists to integrate AI into their workflows, knowing that if they don't, they will be less likely to keep getting work in their industries.

There are certainly many more people using AI with no intention or technical expertise who are a part of ending art workflows that technical artists and other professional have spent years training to do. The industry has already been rough since 2020, finding work is hard without AI replacing jobs.

These production capitalists are choosing lower quality AI amalgamations because they are "good enough" for someone who's intention is primarily making money, and they cost exponentially less than a human. This trend will continue to repress the quality of art by and large, but the technology itself isn't bad and it can offer an opportunity for an independent art rebirth if artists learn to use it for themselves and promote their own works like the music video example. The problem is certainly with capitalism and not the technology in my eyes, but I do think the capitalist use of AI will have an overall harmful effect.

Here's a music video done with AI assistance (including Comfy UI) that is pretty cool: https://youtu.be/envMzAxCRbw

Minning Town is absolutely fantastic show, a fictionalized account of the real poverty alleviation efforts that have been happening in China. Anyone who is into communism and China should watch it and be touched by how great it is

The opponent is not picked at the ballot box, but via the class structure. If you are a worker, your opponent is inherently the owning capitalist class who exploits your labor. Turns out, they are also the ones who unilaterally choose most "elected" officials and policy, which means politicians, at most, are middle managers for your opponent, the capitalist class. Choosing them is irrelevant because they have a continuity of agenda irregardless of who they are, they only get into the position because they are hired by the ruling class to do a particular job. Any of the outlier candidates who might sneak into a post here and there where they aren't directly controlled by capitalists, spend careers trying to fight small symptoms of the system and never make any ground.

Or get a second free password manager just for the stuff you need but aren't worried about and temp change them, put them on second one, take just that one and change back after returning

Here's a good short story that is kind of similar: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

Ahhh makes sense, I couldn't tell what the OP was trying to record but OBS might not work for it after all

Can you watch the video on the page? If so I would use OBS Studio to screen record it. If not, no idea, good luck!

I would just put an alert on Slickdeals for them and wait until a good deal pops up that has comments verifying that they are good
