I get what you meant. But it would be more apt to say that they don’t want a highway there, it’s not like it wouldn’t fit if they wanted. The whole thing is a biosphere reserve, new infrastructure is not allowed. It has nothing to do with the geographical wideness of Chile. To only have a ferry there is a choice. Bypassing through Argentina actually skips a good third of the official highway.

I’m sorry, but at no point does Chile get too thin to fit a highway. It is just that part meets a gulf and wildlife territory. They are all national parks. The alternative (to going into Argentina or the ferry) would be to deforest hundreds of hectares and blow up mountains just so tourists get an scenic car ride (that is already pretty scenic and spectacular as it is).

If you search DuckDuckGo for “gopher alternative web”, the very first few hits are about the gemini protocol, relevant wikipedia links, and an article to small internet hypertext movements.

AI already rot your brain, you can’t identify the three basic keywords, from the original comment, that will lead you to a sensible web search. Of course, if you just search “gopher” most things will be about the animal that it is named after. However, even if you just search gopher, DDG still sneaks a result to the wikipedia disambiguation page. Where you’d learn that gopher is also the name of a species of turtle, a french last name, a biblical character, and an US university’s sport teams. I wonder which of those has anything to do with web development? It’s not hard, just use your brain and stop delegating your every thought to LLMs.

Also, it is extremely rude to interject in a human conversation with AI.

you also shouldn’t be mixing use cases of your devices

All work stuff stays on work provided hardware, or on a VM.

Are you, like, new to the concept of real life?

Those are laudable idealist propositions. That not even high security global corporations always follow to a tee. Some places refuse to provide hardware, demand work account stuff configured in personal devices, and still go out of their way to ban VMs and VPNs. Sometimes you are lucky if the intranet has a reverse proxy.

When she went to the restroom, a server followed her inside and banged on the stall door while saying: “This is a women’s restroom. The man needs to get out of here,”

Right after your quote:

The server didn’t say anything in response but left the restroom

Yes, I’m completely sure she wasn’t forced to prove her gender. To accuse others of not reading the article, while actively not reading the article is certainly a move.

That final section still makes me teary eyed just thinking about it.

Survivalists like to boast of their skills to start a fire from scratch with no modern tool. But that wasn’t the main skill in ancient times. Most societies found it easier to start a fire once and then keep the flame going through several mediums. It was a practical, mundane but vital activity that everyone participated in. The calories gains from eating cooked food was our cheat code for unlocking brain power.

The irony is that they are too stupid to realize the satire.

Disclaimer, I’m stopping any reply since I think you’re either arguing in bad faith, or will never understand my point.

But if you can’t see the massive amount of effort, artistry and intentionality that comes from artists before they even get to the point of hitting play. Then you don’t deserve having gen AI. It’s too much for you. You will never ever be an artist with that attitude, and no one will ever want your art. You seem unable to relate on an emotional level with other human beings and their art. I suggest you further limit your chats to bots and LLMs, as you obviously lack basic human empathy. Please don’t reply anymore.

Flossing is healthier than brushing in this scenario, without risk of wearing out enamel.

Dear lord:

actually you know what, you know what fun thing I kind of do take a little bit of pride in. I only play my own music like, for a Deadmau5, show like every, every track that I’ve ever played in like the, maybe the last like 100 sets of mine have been Productions of my own.

— Deadmau5

You don’t even pay attention to anything you say.

Also:

I think the mistake a lot of people tend to make is saying Joel is a DJ. He’s not, hes said it multiple times. People have pointed out in this comment section and every where he’s a producer. And while he definitely enjoys the technical aspects of things for a performance, you don’t have to look far to see that yeah, most of his sets are the same. Go look at footage from all the We Are Friends shows he did, and you will see the same set over and over. He even says in this livestream he really prepares deadmau5 shows well ahead of time, meanwhile his Testpilot shows are “free wheeled” which is him doing actual mixing. (Although lets be clear, if you watch him DJ as Testpilot and know anything about Ableton, you know hes just launching clips and applying effects to put on a musical show).

Nothing inherently wrong with this. You’ll see the same people who complain about the Sync Button complaining about this. Bunch of old heads yelling about vinyl DJs, which I also love watching. People like Andy C are the bomb and watching him is just such a sight to behold. But at the end of the day, I don’t see the people complaining getting their names on the line up. Sorry not sorry.

All of those people involved in your reply. Real artist.

You, inputting a prompt into a genAI, not an artist.

If you showed me an image of an AI generated image of your making, it would not communicate anything about you, your history, context, values, meaning or anything remotely human to relate to. Going to an EDM show where a DJ just pushes the play button involves far more artistry than any amount of data centers burning tons of fossil fuels to make one shitty picture.

And this kind of disdain for other people’s art is why everyone hates AI bros.

Read about what DJing is, it’s more about playing the crowd, and less about playing the music. Really, do you never pay attention to anything beyond the superficial level. And DJs don’t say they are the musician, they are the DJ. Even though most DJs are also musicians.

See, that’s how I know you know nothing about art. You mention mona lisa because it is widely popular. But don’t know that RX of the painting show that davinci painted other two portraits underneath before the final result. Or the fact that it became famous because it was stolen for a while and when restored, the Louvre placed a security glass which, along with the burglary story, piked the interest of audiences for a painting that was thus far mostly ignored.

Art is more than the product, it’s its history, context and the value humans place of them. Without realizing this, art will never be more than a product to you. In which case I would suggest to stick your art criticism to marketing and ads.

Because using GenAI to call yourself an artist is like hitting play on Spotify to call yourself a musician. You’re not doing the thing, thus you are not the thing doer. A kid making turd shaped dogs with play-doh is closer to being an artist than you inputting prompt into a generator.

Art is not about the product. And your lack of artistic literacy displays this attitude. Art is about meaning and process. Here, try to use your empathy to learn something for a change.

Then why aren’t you doing it?

I want food but I am not cooky, doesn’t mean that ordering pizza makes you a chef.

I want to go but I am not a car person, doesn’t mean that calling a uber makes you the driver.

It is rather interesting that the kind of people that puts a punisher sticker in their car would be the firsts in line to eat a bullet by the punisher if he existed. Which is why marvel recently changed the logo. Though that doesn’t change anything IRL. At least the creators do show audiences that if a militia adopted punisher’s logo, and tried to associate it ideologically with their way of thinking. It would only target them as the punisher’s next victims.

I thought my use of capitalized Discord would be subtle but noticeable that it was a joke. I guess I was too subtle.

Here, I was keeping it in a drawer because I thought I wouldn’t need it, but obviously I did.
