When my kids were little I used to tell them things like, "This movie was made in 1985. That was the year your mom saved Christmas!"
Then, like a decade later we were watching Back to the Future one family movie night and my daughter bursts out, "1985? That was the year mom saved Christmas!"
So proud 😁👍
Think about all the absolutely terrible writing that's out there. Writing that people are reading because they feel like they've read everything else in their ~~fetish~~ genre already.
You can do better than that! Surely!
It's so bad that people are resorting to using AI to write (awful) stories for them. These stories don't make any sense yet people read them anyway. Why? Because they ran out of the other stuff they like in their little ~~fetish~~ genre.
Tell your story! I'm positive someone will be interested in it.
I recently wrote a novel for a writing contest: https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/22194
Many people thought it was funny and entertaining but most stopped reading after the second or third chapter. The people that made it all the way to the end expressed an attitude like, "Finally! A story that's actually unique!" And that's exactly why I wrote it! Because I'm sick of "the same old shit" (in the isekai genre) 🤣
Write your story for you and be satisfied 👍
Something tells me the police investigating this will move at a snail's pace.
What the actual fuck? Was this written by the meat production/processing industry which is the actual cause of all those nitrates‽
There's no fucking way that a handful of Amazon data centers are using up enough water to increase nitrate concentrations. They're waaaaaaaay too small for that.
Think about it: If you evaporate that much water full of nitrates on copper/aluminum heat sinks what do you get? A thick ass film that ruins their effectiveness. Calcium/scale is much worse so what do data centers do? They preprocess and filter the water.
When you filter nitrates out of the water you end up with slime. What do you do with that slime? You throw it away. As in, in the trash. You don't flush it down the drain! That's a one-way ticket to clogged drains!
Some data centers can use a lot of water but not enough that it can make a dent in nitrate concentrations in a region that has been polluted by the meat processing industry for decades.
Amazon is a villain, yes! But they're not the correct villain for this issue.
If the cost of using it is lower than the alternative, and the market willing to buy it is the same. If the current cloud hosted tools cease to be massively subsidized, and consumers choose to avoid it, then it’s inevitably a historical footnote, like turbine powered cars, Web 3.0, and laser disk.
There's another scenario: Turns out that if Big AI doesn't buy up all the available stock of DRAM and GPUs, running local AI models on your own PC will become more realistic.
I run local AI stuff all the time from image generation to code assistance. My GPU fans spin up for a bit as the power consumed by my PC increases but other than that, it's not much of an impact on anything.
I believe this is the future: Local AI models will eventually take over just like PCs took over from mainframes. There's a few thresholds that need to be met for that to happen but it seems inevitable. It's already happening for image generation where the local AI tools are so vastly superior to the cloud stuff there's no contest.
Her problem is she cited the wrong bible!
Clearly, she should've cited the real bible that has the true word of the gods in it. Not that atheist Christian bible!
Remember: If you don't believe in my gods, you're an atheist!
In other news, turns out pop music is very formulaic and easy for a machine to generate!
The distance between, "all of this was made on a computer with minimal effort" and, "this music was entirely generated by AI" is very short indeed.
I hope the SCOTUS justices aren't using 3-strikes-you're-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they'd lose Internet.
Their entire workflow is in Linux (KDE/Kate/Krita/Inkscape) which is awesome!

You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you'll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!
Because the reason for the ID isn't to "protect the children" or anything like that. It's about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.
Doppelblume. It means "double blossom".
Alternatives:
Ahahah! That's a good one!
You think all those cameras are accessible to everyone or even the municipal authorities? Think again!
All those cameras are mostly useless—even for law enforcement (the only ones with access). It's not like anyone is watching them in real time and the recordings—if they even have any—are like any IT request: Open a ticket and wait. How long? I have no idea.
Try it: If you live in the UK, find some camera in a public location and call the police to ask them, "is there an accident at (location camera is directly pointing at)?"
They will ask you all sorts of questions before answering you (just tell them you heard it through the grapevine or something) but ultimately, they will send someone out to investigate because accessing the camera is too much of a pain in the ass.
It's the same situation here in the US. I know because the UK uses the same damned cameras and recording tech. It sucks! They're always looking for ways to make it easier to use and every rollout of new software actually makes it harder and more complicated!
How easy is the ticket system at your work? Now throw in dozens of extra government-mandated fields 🤣
Never forget: The UK invented bureaucracy and needles paperwork!
