“few minutes and a neural net” lmao

even if hypothetically a neural net can generate the exact same piece a human makes they will not be treated aesthetically or culturally as the same by any audience. a big part (or perhaps the only differentiating part) of what makes good art good is how people think about and interact with it. and the creation process is absolutely critical in mediating that.

yeah just let it out

what you believe is not shown by what you just tell yourself in your head, but shown by how you act. it means that if you say you believe in the ideals of veganism but can’t give up a meal of bacon for it, you simply don’t hold that value strong enough.

which is fine, its okay to be unsure about your values, but lets not confuse ourselves here by saying we can hold certain values without behaving like we actually do.

you can use services like jmp.chat to get a reliable number anonymously for verifying anything that requires one

google pixel with grapheneos maybe

pixel 10 is pretty repairable hardware wise, some prior ones have glued in battery

i was expecting a dumb joke like ‘my d*ck’ or something but agreed

the adam t5v’s are a good pair of speakers

aesthetics

i would imagine companies would just filter it out

need some more clever way of hiding it or allow it to be self hosted so that it has various urls

flavor is an experience created by your brain (or at least, created subjectively internal to an agent if you don’t want to accept that conscious experiences are fully explained physically)

what if water really has a flavor but our brains filter it out

so this makes no sense, flavor just is what you experience.

the fathers were HIV-positive, not the mothers.

that (besides the obvious ethical concerns) was a big reason behind the backlash from the genome editing community. we had already known a much less invasive method for preventing HIV infection of the embryo in this case, by ‘washing’ the seminal fluid away from sperm (sperm cannot become infected with HIV, but the HIV particles would be in the fluid surrounding the sperm).

generally it is fine but it is kind of resource intensive

sometimes I can’t believe this guy has a phd from rice

the attempt to mimic compression artifacts, they are just random lines throughout the edges of the image

the computer ports, they are different every time

the hand in the bottom left frame, it is drawn weirdly and bleeding into the other line

the guy’s random eyebrow in the middle right frame

and also, click on OP’s profile and look at the banner

make it without AI and try again

if you state something based on previous work in the field even if its your own you should still cite it…
