Ohi

What year is it?!

With every leap in tech, there is always something or someone that loses. I just used cars/horses here as an example because I think it properly articulates the giant leap in efficiency that AI is providing content creators right now. That said, I hear your point on how the adaptation to cars had unforseen consequences. I'm just far more optimistic than the masses right now about AI, as I'm one who gets to directly benefit from it instead of it just being some toy to play with.

As an indie game dev with an insanely low budget, I'm looking forward to the time in the future where people stop giving the random fuck they're currently giving about the use of AI gen content so I can safely build my game with higher quality assets without the fear of a mob of angry consumers flooding my steam page with bad reviews. It seriously boggles my mind why this is even a trend right now. People need to realize we're saving money where we can so we can improve the quality of the product elsewhere! I'll now have more enemies in my game because I no longer need to hire a concept artist for the general concept. I'm empowered to do that work myself in a few minutes of chat prompts, and I'm still hiring 3D Artists to bring that concept to life.

Please people, chill the fuck out and let the industry adjust appropriately to this amazing technology. Y'all sound like those that protested the use of cars when the horse lost it's job to it.

Somehow that still seems better than being Spectrum's bitch

Words can't describe the inner joy I felt making that call to cancel after I had Google Fiber installed. "No sir, there is no package or temporary deal you can offer me that's going to change the outcome of this conversation."

And then there is the secret emotional turmoil the prisoner refuses to talk about. The emotional and mental anguish that pounds on him day and night like a hammer driving a nail into the depths of his soul; the tears he cries late at night in the darkness as he lays down on his metal bunk staring at the wall feeling shame, guilt and regret, thinking of a family he once knew, a life he once had; the immense longing he has for the affection of a woman, the laughter and joy of youngsters playing and all of those little things the world takes for granted

Damn.

Not sure why you're being down voted, as I find it an interesting point to make, even if I agree with George's conclusion that the balance between competition and cooperation within our species is way out of wack.

RIP sir. RESPECT!!!

If the argument is which country has a better name for it, we Americans are calling it what it is, Kraft's Mac & Cheese. It's also served as a side dish a lot of the times, so calling it a "Dinner" implies it's used as the main course.
