AI needs to stop

But then we wouldn't have to pay real artists for real art anymore, and we could finally just let them starve to death!

Instructions uclear. AI in healthcare treatment decisions.

No, problems like "how dirty is this water" do not fall under AI. It's a pretty simple variable of the type software has been dealing with since forever.

I would say that when the intelligent washing machine has access to sensors (weight, hardness of water, types of laundry detergents) and actuators (releasing the right amount of detergents, water, spin to the barrel) it could make an optimal washing of laundry.

Actually this one is sensible.

In the near future as more renewable energy is included in power grids the price of power will fluctuate depending on the weather.

The WiFi connection will allow you to configure your washing to be done when pricing reaches whatever point.

In film school (25 years ago), there was a lot of discussion around whether or not commerce was antithetical to art. I think it’s pretty clear now that it is. As commercial media leans more on AI, I hope the silver lining will be a modern Renaissance of art as (meaningful but unprofitable) creative expression.

If your motives are profit, you can draw furry porn or get a real job.

I hate what AI has become and is being used for, i strongly believe that it could have been used way more ethically, solid example being Perplexity, it shows you the sources being used at the top, being the first thing you see when it give a response. The opposite of this is everything else. Even Gemini, despite it being rather useful in day to day life when I need a quick answer to something when I'm not in the position to hold my phone, like driving, doing dishes, or yard work with my ear buds in

Eh, I've made a decent living making commercials and corpo shit. But not for lack of trying to get paid for art. For all the money I made working on ~50 short films and a handful of features, I could maybe buy an ounce.

Yiff in hell furf-

I would counter that non-optimal washing by doing what I ask via primitive buttons and dials is perfectly acceptable, and actually preferable

Art seems like a side hussle or a hobby not a main job. I can't think of a faster way to hate your own passion.

I wanted to work as a programmer but getting a degree tought me I'm too poor to do it as a job as I need 6 more papers and to know the language for longer than it existed to even interview to earn the grind. Having fun building a stupid side project to bother my friends though.

But the poor shareholders!

Please tell this my simulation group members. I told them, but they won't listen.

Exactly. I can code and make a simple game app. If it gets some downloads, maybe pulls in a little money, I'm happy. But I'm not gonna produce endless mtx and ad-infested shovelware to make shareholders and investors happy. I also own a 3D printer. I've done a few projects with it and I was happy to do them, I've even taken commissions to model and print some things, but it's not my main job as there's no way I could afford to sit at home and just print things out all month.

I mean, they have Alexa connected refrigerators with a camera inside the fridge that sees what you put in it and how much, to either let you know when you're running low on something or ask to put in an order for more of that item before you run out.

Nft didn't fail, it was just the idiotic selling of jogs for obscene amounts that crashed (most of that was likely money laundering anyway). The tech still has a use.

Wouldn't exactly call crypto a failure, either, when we're in the midst of another bull run.

My only side hussle worthy skill is fixing computers and I rather swallow a hot soldering iron than meet a stranger and get money involved.

It's the fucking touch screens again.

It’s probably just a sticker they put over the word “smart”
