The problem is that genAI isn’t good at creating new, distinct faces. It’s good at making approximations of faces based on heaps of visual information. It only makes sense that if you use the slop generator, you’re going to get a consistent, samey, lifeless pile of slop.

In essence, stop pulling the slop lever expecting a fine crafted turkey dinner. You’re not pulling the turkey dinner lever, you’re pulling the pink slime lever.

Donezo.

The Mojave. The desert is gorgeous, I long for getting away from the humidity, and I NEED a burger at Goodsprings.

Sorry for a Twatter link.

“Alligator Alcatraz” is a new concentration camp built in the swamps of Florida. They’re selling Alligator Alcatraz merchandise to fund some cartoonishly evil dickwad’s political campaign.

No traces of modern civilization left after a couple hundred years? Are the mountains of plastic in the planets testicles going to degrade in less time than the USA has existed? What of the monolithic concrete structures, millions of metallic motor vehicles, the snaking networks of asphalt roads, and the mountains of explosive devices still left in the soil across many parts of the world? How about the radioactive materials that’s trapped in burial sites packed beneath structures of concrete and leaded shielding? (Materials with half-lives longer than humanity has existed) Are those going to be completely wiped from existence in the time it took us to go from making the first petrol engine to creating dial-up internet?

We’re STILL unearthing ruined cities, skeletons, and every day possessions from civilizations that existed for hundreds or thousands of years longer than the United States of America has existed for. Please link what sources made the claims you’re regurgitating.

Edit: Fun profile name, by the way.

Probably the collapse, at this rate.

Composer here, I could grab quite a lot! There are multiple shops in a 2.5 hour drive-radius from me that sell used instruments and audio equipment for dirt cheap. I bagged a $700 audio interface for $100 - just a single hunge! I could probably start an Elephant 6-grade recording setup with a thousand.

It’s how I’ve met most of my friends xD

More a hyperfixation album, but Blue Planet Corporation’s Blue Planet has been seeing regular usage on my end lately.

If ya want a whole album of 'em, Flying Microtonal Banana by King Gizzard is a fantastic album to check out.

That one episode where Stimpy births out a fart and has to raise it comes to mind.

God damn terrified and suicidal, thankful I’ve got good friends to ground me.

If ya got good speakers, there’s a whole world of fantastic trippy albums that are fantastic to listen to if you want a good chatty/vibey/general low energy night. I can recommend a few albums of different genres and styles if ya like!

Bed bugs made us burn our furniture. In the end we still paid several hundred dollars for an exterminator cause they were that persistent.

Thank goodness PocketPC and later Windows Mobile 5/6 were much better designed. I still prefer my Palm device, tho.
