We've had aggressively anti-human, profit motivated art for a while now already. What else is new?

At least before now, there was always some human as part of the creative process. Someone could find a way to take their boring, conformist TV show or movie or whatever and at least try to push it at least a little in the direction of being truer to their own personal experiences or more meaningful in at least little ways. Even with the meddling suits, at least something could be done. The idea of AI art is to cut out all those pesky "creatives" and let the business guys finally decide for themselves exactly what they want, and that just sounds bleak.

That's not what I'm talking about at all. My post is about why AI art doesn't make sense even in an ideal world. If we lived in a communist Utopia, damn straight I wouldn't have people manually doing the kinda data entry shit I talked about in my post if it could be helped, that shit sucks! It's soul draining. OCR is literally just reading text in a photo and then typing out that text exactly as you see it, letter for letter, so yeah, I'm pretty happy to see that getting done by a machine. The only possible justification of making humans do this work is to give people jobs, and giving people jobs should not be the ultimate aim of the human race I think.

They added Command and Conquer Zero Hour which I'm quite pleased about. I doubt they'll bring the servers back up but you can still play through 3rd party services like GameRanger.

This is in reference to a slur used against Vietnamese people.

This is the truth nobody is brave enough to share.

I'm not really that bothered by imports just being cheap. As long as the wind farms work well enough, I don't really care about where they get made. We can't really be choosy with the whole climate crisis thing right on the horizon.

Oh you have to tell me more, I'm definitely interested!

I heard about someone doing that from Leonard French. Some old boomer thought the AI could actually search for court cases, ended up getting tricked into citing a bunch of non-existent caselaw and got into a lot of trouble.

Knowing Israelis, the guy you kicked probably did most of the convincing for you.

I mean look at the situation so far. Even before this, Biden has been tighter than Trump. Have the GOP acknowledged that? No! Biden is a democrat, democrats are loose on border security, QED Biden is loose on border security, even if the facts say otherwise. Republicans will repeat this to anyone who listens, and they will continue to do so indefinitely.

They could literally set up gun turrets on the Rio Grande and Abbott would still talk about how Biden is "weak on the border" and bang the secessionist drum because he refuses to approve a first strike against Mexico City. It doesn't matter what compromise the-democrat makes, because the-republican will always just ask for more. It costs them nothing and their voters don't fucking care. Anyone who says otherwise is a dumb fuck who doesn't understand the first thing about politics.
