Glad to see that you lack an understanding of scale, that explains a lot.

Should the single parent who had a dream to make art who is getting crushed by capitalism, works 3 jobs to make ends meet and literally doesnt have time to learn there passion without starving not also deserve to be able to express themselves?

They’re not expressing themselves if all they’re doing is the equivalent of a boss telling a worker to do something. This is also called “commissioning an artist”

Oh no poor people might be able to make money off of art instead of only massive corporations that effectively already killed the human spirit in art already. Oh no someone who may have gone to school for art so they can express themselves may no longer be able to get a job at an ad company where their love for art gets extinguished as they have to constantly make soulless logos for mega corps based on advise from advertising psychologist who define what will tingle peoples brain more to make them want to consume more.

This whole paragraph is such a display of bad faith that I can’t even figure what’s your position. My best guess: a lot of words to dodge the problem.

The problem your scared about already happens but is dressed up as human expression today by pr departments because people do it. If anything AI art would counter that because now more people will be producing things for the sole reason of expressing themselves instead of needing to take a soul crushing job eroding the expression of their craft for a corporation to make up for the years of debt they incurred by going to school to follow their passion only to find out the field they went into is a farce.

Yeah, nothing like getting a soul crushing job that doesn’t involve art, so that my artistic spirit can remain unfulfilled forever while I pretend to boss around a prompt and think I did something. Refer back to my first point of this reply.

People believe anything already, people believed random hearsay in the past. The only counter for any type of manipulation like this whether being based in deep fakes or just someone spewing nonsense on a pod cast is critical thinking skills. AI doesnt change that one bit, if someone doesnt want to think critically about something they wont, they don’t need AI today to practice cognitive dissonance and blocking AI wont stop that behavior only focusing on education and critical thinking skills will.

It’s a matter of scale. That you failed to grasp something so simple says a lot.

Shhh, quiet! Otherwise they might get kidnapped by trump’s goons and put on an executive seat!

But there is more human crap out there made each day than there is great works

And now, thanks to AI, we can expect 100x more shit to wade through! Great success!

Not everyone can draw, or play music, or make movies. Not everyone has the time or money to put everything together thats needed to make something like a good song or a good movie.

If the author does not want to spend time learning and doing, then I don’t want to spend time checking whatever they asked an AI to do.

So what exactly is the problem with people using AI generate something?

Lower barrier of entry for profit-seeking bullshitters. A significant usage of AI is done by people wanting to profit off it somehow. SEO optimized garbage sites, videos that get lots of views on yt/ttk/insta, playing spotify on repeat forever.

Oh, there’s also the problem of all the deepfakes that people WILL believe, whatever the intent was: revenge porn, political manipulation, trolling.

Should’ve used more of his own blood. A lot more. Like all of it

The real question that remains unanswered: why the fuck did that boy try to earn a Darwin Award? One or two would be an accident, 100 is done on purpose

MAH KRISSHAN VALUWS!!!

Interesting. I looked around what Lula has said and found that, in 2023, he did suggest Ukraine to “cede Crimea in order to stop the war”

In 2025, during a press conference where someone asked him about the Russo-Ukrainian war, after making the case for a ceasefire and negotiating peace, he asked back: “Do you think Putin will leave Crimea?” - although he never supported Russia’s claims for other territories, stating “you don’t always get what you want”.

I can see how that can be taken as support for the aggressor.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that the stock market serves a real economic purpose that isn’t just “cryptocoin bullshit, but before they were invented”

The purpose is to create a space for nations to talk to each other, and to organize collective action on issues that the majority of members agree on.

Save for anything the USA says “nope”, like actual action against climate change, putting an end to the trade blockade against Cuba, etc - then the majority can go fuck itself

Not really supporting, but mostly turning a blind eye because Russia is a significant ally and the main source of refined diesel fuel.

No no no, it’s Venezuelan narcoterrorists, see! Eeeevil people who support an eeeevil narcodictator!!!

The funny thing is that they tried to impeach trump twice the first time he was president. Both times failed because there weren’t enough votes in the senate to actually impeach him.

So, even if 'muricans tried again, it’s likely the impeachment would fail again because of their senate

Well, Venezuela has fuckloads of oil that isn’t going to the USA, so…

I think sewing machines would count? They certainly got a hell lot more “portable”, but the basic design hasn’t changed much since the 1880s. Those things are little mechanical marvels

It was patented? Fucking hell, today I learned

Add more friction between you and the social media. On a computer, this can be done by adding lines to your /etc/hosts, or C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts files, completely blocking off specific sites. On a phone, add stupid long passwords to open certain apps, don’t accept biometrics, leave the password written down on a paper and hide it - resist the urge to save the password somewhere for easy copypaste or to uninstall the app that allows the password locking.

Other than that, leave your phone at home and try walking around the nearest park or any spot that has more than 10 trees, at least once a week. Touch grass, trees, flowers, leaves, sit down and just watch.

Another important thing to keep in mind while outside: people will forget your existence in 5-10 seconds

“One reporter was killed by the government – unfortunate, but not a fucking hill that I’m gonna die on,” Jim Jefferies said on Theo Von’s podcast in August, arguing it is for the greater good that “freedom-of-speech machines” such as himself bestow their “edgy” material on the kingdom and its subjects. (Since making the comments, Jefferies has since disappeared from the festival’s lineup; his representatives did not respond to inquiries about this.)

lol

How high is that number? According to Dillon, pretty high: in the same podcast that got him fired, he said the organizers offered him $375,000 and claimed that some comedians were offered millions. Gillis did not reveal how much the organizers offered him, but he did say that when he initially refused, they “doubled the bag”. Tough news for Dillon, who elsewhere claimed he asked for $500,000 but had to settle for less.

[Nimesh Patel] suggested that he could make up for the loss by performing “40 shows … here in the perfectly clean, moral, above-everyone-else United States of America.”

Would be funny if any of these comedians accepted but did a shit job on purpose to get booed off stage, then just explained that stunt as “giving their money’s worth”

Back when reddit banned 3rd party apps, I just left. My account is still there, once in a while I check something on reddit instead of lemmy due to number of people.

Despite having some good karma and many years, I never felt like reddit “had” anything I’d miss by leaving. You know the “just go outside and touch grass” thing? Literally just leave the place for a week, uninstall any apps, block the site on /etc/hosts, make it enough of an annoyance to sidestep your own blocks and it’ll help you.

Yup, when I first learned that you didn’t need to root, that developer options + adb was enough to get rid of most bloatware, that was an incredible relief to me, too!

Oh look, another crazy idiot who’s using his position of incredible power for self gain! Who coulda seen that??
