Thanks for sharing a branch from your knowledge tree!
That was a (bad) pun, tr-hee hee!
But really, I can't wait to become a tree so I can throw apples at tin people.
No one's saying creativity will completely die, but experience tells me that when a function isn't completely necessary, many people forget.
When the internet came, libraries became less necessary.
When print came, cursive became unnecessary.
When kindles came, physical books lost value.
We can be optimistic about it, but it will have an impact.
Bad thing? Who knows. Major changes in life? Absolutely.
It'll make life easier, at the cost of losing certain skills we have, that's how it's been happening for a while now.
Give a man a calculator, why would he do math in his head?
Teach print, why write in cursive?
Give me a library on my phone, why have a physical building?
All of these things exist, sure, but to say that all change is positive is.. not good. People make mistakes, not all modern advancements are for the good of humanity, or the individual.
I get where you're coming from but still beg to differ. Sure, the suffering of a broken leg may end sooner for an animal because death but what about the life without comfort that proceeded that energy? The savage wild where everything seems to want to murder you? Going without shelter, food etc? Meanwhile even in major poverty humans tend to have some form of shelter, some food, some support, friends, maybe benefits from the government etc.
Even people in prison have it better than animals and I'm not sure how dying faster = better life? Sure, it sucks (for some) that life is drawn out while others (especially the rich) live long happy lives enjoying every minute of it?
Not saying I don't understand where you're coming from just seems oversimplified to say they have it easier because they die faster
I get what you're saying and there is a market for all that but it's getting smaller by the day.
Physical game copies are only wanted by collectors and for many it makes more sense to just emulate as you can tweak settings, save any time, swap controls/controllers etc.
Bikes? Less and less. Gone are the days, in my town when you would see droves of youth biking from home to home visiting friends.
Who rides bikes around my area now? Tbh mostly wealthy suburbanites with free time and money. I live in the "sticks" so guess that's by default, but it's rare to see a bicycle in our big cities right now too. I travel to one of the biggest cities in the country quite often and it's all E-scooters at the moment, a bike is seldom seen.
Manual transmissions? It's rare to see those as well. I work in the automotive field and from what I can see, automatics have taken over. The only sticks I've seen in years have been on older work/farm vehicles/equipment and that's only because the owners can't afford to upgrade. When I have seen them upgrade, it's almost always automatic when applicable.
What I'm saying is, sure, maybe these things aren't officially dead yet but they're not really thriving either.
Just like these things, give it 20 years and AI will be the default. Those who make "real" art will be a small minority, like a person still receiving calls through a landline or something.
Or maybe it won't? But this is how it's usually gone in my lifetime. I've yet to see much stop the winds of change, but people do still read paperbacks even though kindles exist so who knows. Just seeing a big push for AI rn and the only way it won't take over is.. well I can't imagine what would stop it. People are paying to use it, and I've yet to see something that's profitable not be expanded upon.
My pain isn't the knowledge of death, it's the experience of life and I feel like sleeping outdoors, having to kill to eat etc. Wouldn't be as pleasant of an experience as say eating a bowl of chili and watching a movie before crawling into a comfy bed
Also, when I step on my cat's foot it meows like it hurts, not sure what you're saying tbh not being snarky just confused what kind of pain do animals not experience? Depression, trauma etc?
Absolutely! That and smoother gameplay but for now I'm just content that my laptop can even run it with my integrated GPU and all lol
Wow, I had no idea about any of this and can't recall seeing it in the description! Where did you learn this? Thanks btw
Ah didn't realize overheat was non lethal! Need to read more into them. What about contagion?
Like connecting to the wifi but listening via Bluetooth, makes sense really
Sheesh I really need to upgrade my graphics card lol. Nice pictures though!
Amazes me that AI can do all this stuff yet can't understand basic common language instructions ie: character here, in this pose, with this background etc.
Seems like at this point we'd just be writing what we want to see in.. layman's terms
But us common idolators want to mob them
