Does everything have to apply 1:1 to your own life for you to be able to take something useful from somebody else’s story?

I learned that we should not tolerate intolerance!

Yeah, I love that story. To me, that’s what Eurovision is about.

Well, Australia is also in the Eurovision.

90m, that is deep.

Looks very bland.

Oh man, I hate the motion sensors so much, when they’re outside the booths.

Yes! That’s also him.

Thanks for the correction! The name felt odd, but I got distracted and couldn’t verify it.

Then you will be happy to learn that the author Shunji Ito has a lot more disturbing stories.

Everything is about porn. Except porn. Porn is about money.

I am torn on that. If it’s a company making money off of it, despicable. If it’s an open source model used for memes? I’m fine with that. We shouldn’t act like artists follow some magical calling from god. Anything anyone creates is built on their education and the media they were exposed to. I don’t think generative models are any different.

Text, sure. But I don’t get the hate towards AI generated images. If it’s a good image and it’s not meant to mislead, I am completely fine with AI content. It’s not slop if it’s good.

Your version was so sharp, I cut myself.

That’s kind of the point. A constant barrage of stupid and dangerous shit to keep you enraged until you burn put. You cannot stay enraged for four years and nobody will care to do anything if it’s a constant stream of small and big steps to fascism. They’re not removing all liberties at once, but in a lot of steps so that it becomes impossible to agree on which step becomes the straw to break the camel’s back.

I really like that. It’s nice to just finish a story, instead of milking it forever.

I work for a co-op, not Arasaka. So very little evil corpo vibes.

I have played CoD, Cyberpunk and Dragon-age while in boring meetings. Good times.

Exactly. I enjoy the updated lyrics.

I don’t think it’s terrible.
