    Are you worried about a statute of limitations? Why the definition of time?

    I just tell my microwave to be quiet, I have to ask very politely

    Whenever I accidentally make a loud noise late at night, I always have to say “jee-sus” under my breath, just in case anyone heard it they know it wasn’t my intention.

    Fridgeratr, (edited ) in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

    I do not care at all as long as it’s labeled as AI art. The only problem I have is when people try to pass it off as something they actually made

    TheDorkfromYork,

    A lot of AI art is highly controlled. Control net, manually redrawing the noise to guide output, additive models just to name a few ways artists control the output. It’s genuinely more art that some people give it credit.

    ani, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

    Americans are mentally ill by nature. You just need to be in America and you are infected with mental illness and obesity. This is the reason why Americans are more prone to conspiracy theories including the idea that if you are fit you will fluctuate to space, thus most Americans become comorbidly obese to keep them in the Earth’s ground atmosphere. The solution for this is to deny Americans having crazy children who shoot schools and other types of mass murders.

    So it’s a geological issue then?

    ani,

    Yes, it is actually a geopolitical issue that affects the biology of Americans. The Pacific Province has active volcanoes that expel smoke and when inhaled makes Americans in the region feel lightweight and as if fluctuating. The Columbia Plateau terrain is formes by basaltic lava that erupted millions years ago; this terrain has special characteristics that make it smoother than other types, so Americans feel like fluctuating instead of being in the ground. The Appalachian Highlands were formed by colliding the North America Plate with the African and Eurasian plates, so when American walk through these places they feel like being in a continent other than North America. The list goes on, but we shall also remember America is a capitalist neoliberal country which is a modern framework for society, so Americans are very stressed out by this system that’s very different from when they were hunter-gatherers; this difference creates an environment prone to the development of mental illness and believing in conspiracy theories. The result: children shooting schools.

    Oh I am fully aware of the basaltic flows of the Pacific North West and elsewhere, mind you, but how do you feel about Deccan traps?

    I’ve seen a lot of really cool AI art and a lot of shitty AI art. I don’t mind it as long as it is labelled as AI art

    @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

    Good take here. Quality content is quality content. Spam is spam. AI art can be quality or spam. I say label it as AI but don’t ban, just enforce the rules about spam

    trafficnab,

    I feel like people holding up human made art as some bastion of high quality being encroached upon by the AI scourge have not spent much time delving deep into places like deviantart

    fidodo,

    My issue with AI art is that it makes laziness easier. I hate seeing shitty AI art where it looks really gross when you look at the details. I’ve seen big companies post really shitty AI art that was horrifying once you look closer. Like Microsoft put a disgusting image of jack-o’-lantern up as the background of Bing for Halloween and the faces were just grotesque and uneasy to look at.

    Randomgal,

    You hate it because it makes laziness easier…? It is literally the whole season why technology and science exist: To make things easier. Laziness is your boss’ way of making you feel bad for not working more.

    There’s an argument that art doesn’t need to be good or bad, that art makes us think and discuss. I would argue that this piece has done that, because here we are discussing it.

    Another way to think of it is you saying “anyone could do it” , which then the response is “but no one did”

    fidodo,

    I didn’t say I hate it, I said it’s an issue for me. The reason why it concerns me is because it makes spam trivial. Anyone with hardly any technical knowledge could easily write a script that produces millions of shitty unreviewed images and spam it all over the place making it hard to find legitimately good stuff.

    Disco_Dougie, (edited ) in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

    Red Letter Media. Movies with Mikey, but he’s starting to focus more on Nebula. Internet Historian, but his videos come out like twice a year.

    Edit: Nevermind on Internet Historian. As folks mentioned below, the dude sucks. Also it turns out my favorite video of his was plagiarized.

    delitomatoes,

    Ooh I have bad news about internet historian buddy

    Disco_Dougie,

    Ah shit, what?

    Somehow I just saw these replies. That all sucks! I found him super entertaining. But fuck all of that.

    illi, in About Google and Degoogling in schools

    No recommendations, but you could also try posting in !degoogle

    Feliberto,

    Subscribed. I’ve been trying to degoogle myself for a while, but it’s so damn difficult.

    ani, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

    AI art does not annoy me in social media because I find it fascinating and inspiring. I think AI art is a form of expression and innovation that showcases the potential and diversity of human and machine collaboration. I enjoy seeing how different people use AI art to create, share, and communicate their ideas, emotions, and visions. I also appreciate the challenges and opportunities that AI art poses for the artistic community and society at large.

    AI art is not a threat or a replacement for human art, but rather a new medium and a new partner. AI art can help human artists to explore new possibilities, enhance their skills, and expand their audiences. AI art can also stimulate public interest and awareness of art, culture, and technology. AI art can be a source of beauty, joy, and wonder for everyone.

    Rhynoplaz, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

    I feel like Americans generally “know better”. The bottle says to take two, we know better than to follow the label, we take four. The button says to hold until three quarters full, we know better than to fall for that coffee stealing scheme, we crank that baby till it spills over and then try to add 10 creamers with a name we can’t pronounce. So when we hear that someone died under a bizarre circumstance, we know better.

    I have taken to calling this “American Exceptionalism”. Its in some ways baked in to how Americans address their world. I think much of it comes from pride-in-struggle, that for many Americans, their pride is all they have. And so this needs to be bolstered, put up front.

    A combination of narcissism and solipsism, truly messed up and dangerous .

    Diabolo96, (edited ) in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

    The Simple answer is No. Every country has its fair share of loud and dumb.

    anarchy79, (edited )
    @anarchy79@lemmy.world avatar

    The complicated answer is, the less education and the more propaganda, the more likely you are to believe dumb shit.

    Randomgal, in What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?

    To be fair, banana are only cheap in North America compared to the cost of other fruits. Bananas are pretty expensive if you consider you can get around 8-10 for a dollar in places where they are local.

    intensely_human,

    I can get 4 for a dollar where I live in the States

    Devdogg,

    Yes and 8 for a dollar seems to be twice what you’d get.

    sharkfucker420, (edited ) in Is it possible to replace a damaged audio cable with a non audio cable?
    @sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml avatar

    I’m confused, what type of audio cable are you trying to to replace? Afaik there is little difference between USB cables other than their version number

    Sticker,

    For headphones

    sharkfucker420, (edited )
    @sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml avatar

    Oh yeah you’re fine then. If you notice a difference in audio quality maybe try becoming a composer because you definitely have the ear for it.

    Just make sure it’s the correct USB version (like 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 etc idk how far they go)

    pastermil,

    3.5mm jack?

    Sticker,

    Yes

    mhague, (edited ) in What do you think of sports analysts ?

    In F1 they’re usually great. More grounded observations / opinions, from either former drivers or at least people who have been around the paddock for decades. They feel more “objective” regarding what they talk about and what they’ll allow themselves to hypothesize about.

    I don’t watch much NBA and NFL but the analysts / opinion guys seem goofy and way too loose with opinions. I think they’re all entertainment so the more outlandish their statements the better the engagement.

    In chess the players and analysts are all way above my level, but as far as I can tell, they do a good job at breaking down the position and giving you an idea of what super grandmasters are thinking. But this is more commentator and less analyst.

    PhobosAnomaly,

    Funnily enough, my mind jumped to Martin Brundle as a classic example of a good analyst - or at least he was in the 90s and 2000s. He’s still good, but it just isn’t as new or exciting anymore - he was a fantastic counterpoint to Murray Walker’s boundless enthusiasm with a lot of sensible chatter and in depth knowledge.

    Another guy I quite like is Jimmy Bullard, particularly on Sky Sports News or Soccer AM - no bullshit, everything in layman’s terms, and has a laugh with it.

    BloodSlut, in What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?

    beef, corn, and almonds

    beef takes up an incredible amount of land and water per ‘unit’ nutrition and has a profound impact on the local and global environment. it has an artificially low cost due to subsidies and cheap grain (corn) feed.

    feed corn isnt really consumable by humans and takes a large percentage of land. its price is kept low by subsidies.

    almonds take a lot of water to grow and are commonly grown in regions where water is scarce and is provided to farmers for little to no monetary cost with few restrictions

    marx2k,

    Where are you that almonds are cheap?

    BloodSlut,

    i never said they were, lol
