They didn't say AI produces low value art. They said AI doesn't produce art at all.

I think there's an argument about art being the emotions it invokes in the viewer rather than the creator. Humans can find art in natural phenomena, which also has no feelings or backstory involved.

I'm not really defending AI slop here, just disagreeing with your definition of art and the relation to the creator rather than the viewer.

Agreed on the emotional intelligence approach. I'm tired of democrats thinking logic and facts will just sway everyone and then being all high and mighty when that doesn't work on some people.

The whole thing with Trump being weird was an excellent attempt at actually messaging in a way that resonates with people. There's a reason ads for stuff like cars and medicine focus more on happy experiences and not on what the product actually is.

We need to be building a brand identity, shaping how people feel about us and focusing less on the raw facts and logic. It doesn't work on seemingly most Americans, continuing to use it despite the lack of results really makes me question whether we really are controlled opposition.

Yep. I think there's a huge amount of left leaning online people in denial.

They keep thinking that they just need to tell people about all these issues and then obviously those people will see it as wrong. Nope, a huge number of their fellow citizens are absolutely aware of this shit and actively approve of it.

Bringing 'awareness' is pointless if the people actually approve of this horrible stuff.

Modern farming is extremely reliant on gps and 'smart' planters, fertilizers, etc. Using tech to precisely control exactly how much seed, chemicals, etc is used can result in significantly less costs. My understanding is that Deere has bought out basically every company that has a decent implementation of this technology and is an effective monopoly on modern farming equipment.

You can move away from them, but expect your business costs to significantly increase as a result.

Will this just become obsolete the next time they update usb c to support something new? A tester that goes out of date as quickly as the cables it's testing feels pretty pointless to me

The recent trifold phone prototype by some Chinese company was the only version that interested me. It actually expanded to true tablet size and the proportions and thickness while folded matched the standard phone proportions. That actually felt useful and I could get rid of my tablet, so I wouldn't mind the extra cost too much. The big issue obviously would be if it could have decent battery life, which I assume will be its critical flaw.

That's the next executive's problem. These executives will jump ship with their golden parachutes before any of that affects them.

There's usually a hardware level power off function for when the device freezes and stuff. Can usually hold the power button for ~10 seconds will power off the device without needing to look at the screen

See this game documentary for more details: Cricket through the ages

It was crazy taxi and no other game could use the mechanic. And telling you where to go is pretty darn important to a lot of games

Discord is great as chat program. It should've only ever been used for that. It completely sucks as forum replacement. Discord should've had very little value to any decent organization.

 

Anyone have any current working solutions? There was a discord and an extension that used to enable exporting chapters, but it's been broken for a while and the discord ('Secret!' is the name) no longer updates with any new content.

Honestly I don't necessarily care about getting it for free, I just want to put the books into a proper epub instead of using their website or shitty app.
