It’s a long video, but it’s interesting to listen to an artist rail against AI text-to-image art generators. The guy knows that his field is as endangered as a factory workers; even if AI never get *quite* as good as human artists (doubtful), the sheer volume of art – images, music, videos, whole movies –…
Yeah… no. It seems that whole swathes of LA have been turned into the Third World. This was not a sad inevitability; this was a result of intentional choices by those in charge of the city, county and state. Yeeeeeeesh. You can’t have vast numbers of homeless like this and justify open borders.

So, antiAmerican American Brittney Griner was arrested a long time ago trying to bring illegal substances into Russia. This is not really a debatable point; Griner admitted it. You can argue whether or not its appropriate that hash oil should be illegal or not, but in Russia, it is. And it’s not a profoundly stupid…
I’d be fascinated to see a breakdown of majors represented here: There’s something wrong with people that full of irrational hate, and I love to see them driven to apoplexy by someone simply showing up. Now to start pressing charges.
Well, here it is… “If the current trends hold up, Republicans are likely to take over at least the House and quite possibly the Senate, too, along with many state offices. This is how democracies die, both at home and abroad.” Translation: if the election doesn’t go my way, that means democracy has failed.…
