And the director needs to be shouting instructions at the actor... Move your head more, like you're dodging real bullets

Yeah I cannot get anything to disappear now. Upvote, downvote, hide, Mark as read... None of it works now I have an infinite view of the exact same things for the last 2 weeks

Well that's just not true.

Your response is actually baffling to me.

I'm not sure why you think parents are there to serve you every piece of knowledge.

You're an autonomous human being and you'd better learn how to learn on your own if you want to have a happy, functional life.

As you get older you're going to realize that nobody is going to spoon-serve you free knowledge ... That's something that is hard fought, absolutely not a gift from parents or anything else. You have to do the work.

The fact that you just cherry-pick and poo poo my comment is a little bit sad. I see you self-imposing helplessness upon yourself, it's a really poor attitude. I think you're actually just lazy.

This actually is a stupid question

I can see it doing a lot of harm in the ways has been implemented unethically, and in some cases we don't have legal resolution on whether it's "legal" but I think any reasonable person knows that taking an original artist's work, and making a computer generate counterfeits is not really correct.

I think there is going to be a massive culling of people who are charlatans anyways, and whose artistic output is meritless. See 98% of webcomics. Most pop music. Those are already producing output that is so flavorless and bland it might as well have come from AI model. Those people are going to have to find real jobs that they are good at.

I think the worst of what AI is going to bring is not even in making art, music, video, shit like that... It's going to be that dark pattern stuff where human behavioral patterns and psychology is meticulously analyzed and used against us. Industries that target human frailties are going to use these heavily.

Effective communication will become a quaint memory of the past that seniors rant about.

You're actually making a good point that I don't wholesale disagree with.

But the last paragraph really set me off I guess.

Personally I believe it's important to have a somewhat granular understanding of the things we use every day, otherwise we risk becoming a slave to them.

None of us can go through life believing that it's okay to have no skills and no ability to do anything because there's an easier solution there for us

Because something is going to happen at some point that will take that easy solution away and then you're fucked. What happens when all you have is a paper map, but all you've done is rely on these cool glowing boxes to tell you which direction to walk? You're out in the bush with a wet phone and you sit down to cry... Because you've made yourself a slave and you have no idea what to do now.

I'm 50 now, and I don't want to talk like an old man, but I can see that young people have no ability to manage their lives or do anything. There's always a free ad supported app to do it, and then when the internet goes down they are doomed.

If you drive a car, you need to know how to change a tire and put gas in it. If you have a fridge to preserve food, yeah, you probably should understand how and why it preserves food and what to do if power goes down for a day. You should probably further understand how to preserve and ferment things because at many points in your life you're going to get a lot of ingredients that are going to go to waste and you can eat them if you know what you're doing.

Overall I cannot go for your advocacy of self-imposed helplessness. Every time you take an easy answer, you actually screw yourself. Most of the time it's better to take the long road and do the hard work and figure out how to be a capable human being. Once you know how to do it without the easy solution, then you can use the easy solution. In a short metaphor, use the calculator once you know math.

This website is poison.

Tldr before the pop-ups completely overwhelmed me... A couple eggheads think water on Mars might be evaporating at a different rate than was thought before. This has no bearing on anything.

Well see the problem is you didn't hot glue the cereal and milk port shut dummie

Good parallel. I don't even need it to be perfect, I just don't need to see a person holding a controller when it's obvious they have never touched one in their life and they're just randomly thrashing at it like a curious monkey

That's a good question.

I don't know if the molecule is destroyed or transformed.

But I use so little that it wouldn't affect anybody anyways... I don't even think a child who is naive to the molecule would feel a thing

Edit... My curiosity got the best of me, I wasn't able to Google the answer directly, but I found articles asking if reheating coffee destroys the molecule. Apparently an organic chemist got involved and stated that the molecules pretty stable, it will only break down around 350 F. So that would mean most of my food probably has the full effect of whatever caffeine was there.

I accidentally poisoned a love interest when I made her lasagna with espresso in the sauce. Turned out she was allergic to coffee, not caffeine. I didn't know... but whoops a daisy lol

I would like to see ONE person depicted as playing video games (M&K or controller) and have their hand inputs look believable, not just randomly flailing at the device. I would die a happy man if the inputs corresponded to what's displayed in the game.

I spent my life as a game dev.
