@@mcl_official20XX eh, people have always said that they watch youtubers/content creators because they are "genuine" and then half the time the person they are calling genuine is the most obvious character ever people call Jschlatt genuine, entirely unironically, like it happens commonly i think, at best, people are just tired of very specific characters, like the overly enthusiast KZbinr, or the MrBeast type guy. at worst they're overconfident people who took a character hook line and sinker and ran with it, being in support for what is a satire, not realising they are the butt of the joke, and they hate either characters they did not fall for, or characters/people that dont agree with their worldview

"McDonalds is consistent and always alleviates my hunger" *is* something NL would say. I'm sorry. It would have been at the end of an NLSS discussion on fast food, and when he realised that his ramble was amounting to nothing more than the well-trodden 'you always know what you're going to get in mcdonalds everywhere', he'd try add an extra ribbon, but halfway through that sentence he'd realize he's about to say "food makes you less hungry" and bail out by dressing up the sentence with a long word. I'm sorry! He's done a lot of streams! not every ramble can possibly be a 10/10 and sometimes when he's in a bad one he makes it sound better at the end by acquiescing some extranormal vernacular into his diction!

I agree that the motion sensors for the faucet and the soap dispensers are shit. But I disagree that we should go back to how it used to be (still is in most public bathrooms). One of my annoyances with using a mechanical faucet is that you turn it while your hands are dirty, you wash your hands, and now you have to turn the dirty nob/lever. And yeah, it's a very minor issue, and also I can just act like a germaphobe and turn the faucet off using a paper towel, but like, I'd rather the engineers made my life easier than having to worry about it myself. And the mechanical soap dispensers are always so stiff, like you have to use your whole body weight to get the soap out. I'd prefer that the soap dispenser has a touch sensor button, so you simply touch the button (not click it) and it activates, rather than a motion sensor. And then just fix the damn faucet sensor. Elevator doors have good sensors that know something is in front of the door, why can't that technology be in the faucet sensor? Or heck, just do another touch sensor. I'd feel way better having to just lightly touch it with my pinky to turn the faucet off, than having to use my whole hand to turn the nob or pull the lever.

I remember one of the first times I had a red bull, before I drank coffee or had caffeine regularly... it was not a good time.

I agree we need to take it slow and deal with some problematic elements of learning algorithm programs (I refuse to call it artificial "intelligence" because its not that) just like we had to work through the problems with digital art and photography. But it feels wrong and backwards to me when I hear people saying "ITS WRONG AND WILL NEVER HAVE A PLACE IN THE ART WORLD!"

[@nonpondo_]

So like, I do art sometimes, I'm in the art community a fair bit, I used to be kind of mixed on AI art, but I recently found someone who kind of created pipeline workflow for starting art and using different AIs and manual alterations to refine the art using AI, and my mind was kind of like oh, you figured out how to actually use it and put effort in it, using it as tools rather than the whole process, I think that's the future of AI art, the biggest issue around AI art imo is using people's art who don't want it to be used as training data, which IMO is the biggest legitimate issue in the space

AI art is not only pointless because of the lack of the human input, it's also literally stealing the work of the human artists in a vain attempt to recreate what they did. T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound stated that good art needs to be aware of the past, but can never copy it, it needs to always create something new. AI art only does the first thing, creating a literal frankensteinian amalgam, a late-stage capitalism's monster set out to conquer and destroy creativity - the enemy of profit-oriented approach.

For me, a human connection with a piece of art isn't necessary. I don't care that Steinbeck was a racist POS, East of Eden stands on its own as a text separate from him.
