This is flat out one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen someone say on the Internet.

It doesn’t matter. He’s not going to give up power because a bunch of people don’t like him. He doesn’t fucking care.

What’s next is they make him dictator for life, so he doesn’t have to pretend to care about his base anymore.

Those were the days…

I would do both, but I would only initiate one myself when I am in the mood. I would be happy to participate though.

It’s up there with clam chowder in terms of Massachusetts’ greatest contributions to world cuisine.

Sure. This guy was extraordinarily helpful for me.

I was the same. Figured out it’s all part of my neurodivergence, PTSD, and Rejection Dysphoria Syndrome. I still am the same, but I also used to be (its way better now though)

 

One of my all time favorites, in the best quality available.

 

That’s so weird. I could have sworn the Supremem Court just ruled that lower courts were NOT allowed to to block things that affected the whole country. That that EXCEEDED their authority. How ODD. What a strange thing is happening right now 🧐

How do people help MacOS GUI applications find user-installed executables on the
system?

@apple_enthusiast

I have been helping a friend with a very modern Macintosh follow
@bounga's tip
(https://www.bounga.org/tips/2020/04/07/instructs-mac-os-gui-apps-about-path-environment-variable/),
but it does not seem to work anymore. Which is weird, since it was updated in
July 2023.

And getting enraged at the pervasive utter dearth of urgency I was seeing.

Also I’m recommending one dude get fired. It gives me no pleasure, he keeps doubling down on the terrible behavior to the point where he is actively impeding progress to an extent that finally outweighs the value of the his positive contributions. I’ve been workouts around him for two moths now. I’m at a loss. I just don’t see any other way.

EDIT: It’s honestly hard to believe how intense and personal some of the hostility in this thread is. I understand objecting to something when there is a valid concern, especially about ethics or consent. But this is something else entirely. It feels less like people are engaging with the actual work and more like they are reacting to the mere presence of AI in any form, regardless of context.

I don’t think LLMs are universally good or bad. I think they are very very bad at a large number of things, especially when people try to use them as shortcuts in places where care, originality, or expertise (or human understanding and subsequent empathy) are required. But they are also extremely effective in other use cases when used with skill, intention, and thought. That is the position I hold. It is nuanced. It does not dismiss the criticisms people have raised, but it also does not treat every use of the technology as automatically unethical or invalid.

What I did was not a random one-line prompt into a generator. I gave deliberate, specific instructions about pose, anatomy, style, and tone. I gave feedback. I adjusted the inputs. I guided it through a process that produced something unique and original. The result is not a collage of stolen images. It is not a copy of anything that has ever existed. That is important context, and it is constantly ignored in these arguments.

There is a real difference between raising concerns in good faith and launching personal attacks at people who use a tool in a considered way. The people jumping into these threads with moral outrage are not engaging in objective analysis. They are repeating talking points as if AI art is some kind of singular personal enemy. It often feels like they are reacting based on something they heard someone else say, rather than thinking critically about what is in front of them.

And this is happening in a community that is supposed to be supportive of neurodivergent people. That is the part I find most maddening. There is room here for discussion and for disagreement. But instead of debate, we get judgment, condescension, rabid hostility, and attempts to shame people for trying something different. That is not the kind of environment anyone should want to foster.
