Maybe, maybe not. Doesn’t matter, it is currently free and people prefer it over your nerdy cousin because of that

There’s the argument that despite what your nerdy cousin says, he doesn’t actually like making art, he just think that if he can be an artist he won’t have to have a real job. He doesn’t want to draw a picture for you, otherwise he would have done it for free simply because it was fun

I think most of them are 15 year old kids whos experience with AI is what they see on TikTock

Bad AI videos, bad AI voices, bad AI art and music; that eventually these types of videos will stop getting views and the whole AI think will die

What they don’t know or understand is that this is the side effect of AI, not the driving force or even it’s primary use

In reality AI has infiltrated most businesses and is very quickly, if not already, an integral part of daily business routines

I got banned from a sub for being a shill because the mods did not believe me when I told them we use AI to transcribe our morning meetings, make tasks on our kanban board, review code, run tests, and manager our build pipelines

I was told, “AI can’t do any of that” – huh?

You don’t know what you don’t know

Get out there, do something new, see what you learn

Really long term, Earth is doomed. Not Climate Change, the sun will literally die one day. If humanity is to survive, we need to leave Earth and eventually our solar system

Waiting until the sun is expanding to start working on this problem is a lot like the issues we have with climate change. “Not my problem” type of attitude.

In your defense, the time length between climate change and the death of the sun is beyond massive, but still, it’s the same kind of thinking. You don’t need to leave Earth today and while people in the future probably will for any number of reasons, so what, let them figure it out, right?

We’re humans, this is what we do… we explore. Lets go

Lets say music literally kills the art of playing music instruments. It won’t, but lets pretend it does

So?

Really think about that. Music isn’t gone, people just don’t play instruments to make it anymore

OK, and?

my experience is that lemmy users are actually worse than reddit users, but there are less people here so you don’t have to put up with as much stupid shit

I think the average reddit users is like 30, where the average lemmy user seems to be 15

That being said, I can stand to come here once every couple of days and browse for 15 minute

I rarely see anybody say anything of any intelligence while I’m here as it’s just more of the same doomer bullshit I’d find everywhere else, but it’s like 6 people saying it here instead of 1,000 saying it there

This is why AI art is so incredibly popular

Fuck my nerdy cousin, AI will do a bang-up job for free

This is the problem… people tried

“I need an icon for my twitch channel”

“I’m an artist, I don’t work for free” /r/choosingbeggers

I’m not rioting for bread, I’m rioting to tear down a broken system

If I want bread, I’ll just steal it. I don’t have to burn down Target to steal bread now, why would that change?

I do need to remind the people in charge who they work for though… and if they’re not willing to share what they have, then I’ll take it from THEM. If they’re not willing to get rid of their shit to save the environment then I’ll get rid of it for THEM

I don’t want to steal a TV from Target, I want to steal the TVs from the CEO who decided bread costs $7

I tell people all of the time

“I won’t throw the first brick, but when the bricks start flying give me a call”

The thing that broke me wasn’t data centers or hot weather, it was when I had to pay $7 for hot dog buns

The business men who put a $7 price tag on hot dog buns during the 4th of July are not nearly as afraid of the public as they should be.

It’s fucking bread. Bread!

When stealing bread to feed your family is almost a felony… burn it down.

Problem is, if it happened, you would need to choose your targets wisely for it to be effective. Looting a Target isn’t the answer. The point is not to get yourself a new TV; it’s to advocate for real change. Don’t burn down your own place of business, don’t burn down your own neighborhood… burn theirs

Find the motherfuckers in the Epstein Files, sink yachts, tear down the walls surrounding billionaire neighborhoods, etc…

Yeah, because going outside and talking to people in real life is stupid

it’s suppose to tell strangers about who you are

Like, if you like a band, you wear the shirt. Then when somebody else who likes the band sees you in that shirt they can be like, “Awesome, what’s your favorite song”. You guys get to talk, maybe you make a friend

But then a bunch of people decided it would be cool to wear those shirts even if they don’t actually like the band or the TV show or whatever that’s on the shirt… but other people who were fans were like, “Awesome, what’s your favorite song”… but the idiot wearing the shirt couldn’t answer the question because they don’t actually like the band or TV show or whatever and instead of thinking to themselves, “maybe I shouldn’t pretend to be a fan of something I’m not” instead decided to push this bullshit narrative that it’s wrong for other people to ask them about their shirt

So now people walk around advertising shit they don’t like because the world is full of stupid people who make stupid rules that other people stupid people follow to prove how open-minded and non-judgemental they are

In other words, the average person is dumb and so they’re entertained by dumb things

“You like money and sex? Me too! We should hang out”

Garfield is notorious for being lame to the point where there are no real jokes… Garfield comics are just Garfield saying the same thing everybody says

For instance, I googled “Garfield Comic” and the first one that showed up was Garfield walking up to a mirror, Looking in the mirror, walking away from the mirror, and the last panel had Garfield think, “when did the cat in that mirror get so old?”

There’s nothing to that comic, It could have been one panel if you really wanted it to be and that “joke” is the same thing my Grandma said when we walked past a store with a reflective window

And that’s all this PizzaCake comic is

Literally everybody was like, “if they’re so proud why do they cover their face?” – it’s the political equivalant of, “If it didn’t ring up it must be free”

This shit sucks

thats more creative than anything PizzaCake has ever written

Make fun of them all you want, but maybe don’t go with the most obvious jokes of all time

This is the political version of, “it didn’t ring up? It must be free”

PizzaCake is political Garfield

It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s not edgy, it’s not smart… it’s the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up

“HAHA, Mondays do suck!”

“Right, why cover your face if you’re so proud?”

Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years

You don’t have to but we don’t have time to get to know every single person in the world on a personal level, and the way someone looks can tell you a lot about them

I always heard it as, “you wear a hat to be associated with other people that wear that same hat”.

You put on a cowboy hat so that people assume you like big trucks and country music.

You’re free to walk around looking like human trash but then also you shouldn’t be surprised when people assume you are human trash. Remember, you don’t always just represent yourself. You represent other people in your social group. Like if you’re a teenager you represent teenagers.

The assumption is that all the nerds that play cards at comic book stores are fat, dirty, and stinky because enough of the nerds that paly cards at comic book stores showed up fat, dirty and stinky that this became the stereotype.

Had they all shown up in suits we’d probably have a different opinion of them. It doesn’t matter if they’re nice people, we have no idea, we didn’t get the opportunity to talk to them… all we know is that they look mega-gross so we assume they’re all mega-gross. And now, if you admit that you like playing cards at comic book stores, we’ll all assume you’re mega gross too

So, it really would have been helpful if enough of them had cared what others thought of them enough to clean up a bit so they didn’t destroy the reputation of all the other people who wear that same hat

And if you’re a business owner, if you let people look like this in your business, it can hurt your business. There’s a reason we all assume Wal-Mart is trashy as fuck and that’s because the people shopping at Wal-Mart have a tendency to go there looking trashy as fuck. So much so there use to be a website dedicated to looking at all the insane ways Wal-Mart shoppers dressed

Depends, I would say it’s a show of respect

I’m aware other people are around and I’m going to present myself in a way that is un-offensive to those people. And not just other customers, but the staff as well

Does it matter at McDonalds? no, McDonalds is a pretty casual place where you would expect people to show in casual attire; be that pajamas because they’ve been being lazy all day, suits because they’re at lunch during work, or dirty clothes because they’ve been doing manual labor… whatever

But showing up to a nicer place in casual clothes basically says to everyone, “I have about as much respect for this place as I do Wal-Mart or McDonalds”; it can also say, “I don’t have much respect for myself” too. As in, “I’m too lazy to even put on clothes so I just walk around in my cookie monster pajamas”.

Neil respects nothing, and we respect Neil for that

You could change and become a better person… or not, whatever.
