  • I would like to remind everyone, as people seem to keep forgetting, Tesla means nothing to Elon. It could go to zero and it wouldn't affect him.

    Twitter, or X, means nothing to Elon. It could collapse and shut down and it wouldn't affect him.

    SpaceX is his baby. Nothing even comes close. Starlink alone guarantees he will always be one of the richest men in the world.

  • I mean if you want to stick your head in the sand and lie to yourself, then sure.

    Look at a few of the recent top images in !imageai@sh.itjust.works and try to tell me that many of them don't look good. I'm sorry, but you are fucking delusional if you can't even admit that some AI models can, in fact, make impressively good looking images.

    If you want to argue the morals of AI art, then yes, let's have that conversation. But to try and dismiss all of it by saying it doesn't even look good is just pathetic and willfully ignorant of reality. You want so desperately to believe that AI could never create something that looks good that you have deluded yourself into ignoring the truth.

    The technology is growing, and it will leave you behind.

    Like, fuck, man; am I just supposed to pretend like this isn't beautiful?

    Or that this isn't cute and funny?

    Am I not allowed to look at things like this and acknowledge that it's far better than anything I could produce without dedicating decades of my life to the pursuit of art?

  • People don't spend money to go see "new" shit, but do spend money to see rehashed "safe" shit, so why would studios bother trying to make anything else.

    Like it or not, money talks. And the public has overwhelmingly said this is what they prefer.

  • Still unknown, especially considering if you zoom out even a tiny bit from that carefully cropped picture, you'll see that the soil in that area is pretty much the same color. That picture is also from 2023.

    The lack of investigative reporting into this really shows how shit the entire journalism field has become.

  • Man, I don't even know where to get truthful news anymore. I try to keep up with both sides so I know what their narratives are, and stories like this one are fucking impossible to get to the truth of. Either way, it's fucking horrific that people are being sent to Death Camps without any kind of due process, but the amount of misinformation doesn't help.

    Is he openly violating the Supreme Court, or did the Supreme Court decide "facilitate" means nothing can be done if El Salvador doesn't want to release him? Even reading the order directly, it's not clear. If Trump is NOT absolutely violating a direct Supreme Court order, then isn't continuing to focus on it a distraction from the bigger issue?

    Is he an innocent father, or was he a twice convicted gang member who was awaiting a trial that he was likely to be found guilty of anyways? Or were those convictions not actually convictions and only claims from a dubious source?

    Is he an El Salvador citizen? If so, why was he rounded up with a bunch of Venezuelans?

    Again, nothing is right about this situation, but I'm also sick of the waters being so muddy that I don't even know what's true anymore.

  • Still used in a lot of fireproof applications. Lab tables you see in chemistry and biology classrooms are a good example, most of those are made out of asbestos. Really, as long as it's well bonded and handled appropriately, it's perfectly safe. It's just costly to do so, and greedy companies don't care if their lax standards cause cancer 20 years later, so it really can't be trusted in the hands of private businesses.

  • Can't remember who said it, but I always liked the saying that scientific discovery rarely comes with shouts of "EUREKA!", but rather quiet mutterings of "hmm, that's odd..."

  • Good luck playing Black Flag unless you pirate it. Ubisoft fucking broke it with their shitty app. If will still work if you've previously installed and launched it, but if you're a first time player, the launcher will prompt you to log in to you Ubisoft account, and then just never run.
