It sounds like your argument here is that AI animation is so legitimately great that it is on par with talented animators. Quite frankly, fuck that, no matter how visually polished AI animations may look, they are generally quite soulless and flat.

The real issue is that people are so reflexively anti-AI that they accuse anything that registers any doubt at all of legitimacy of being AI, even without evidence. This has hurt many legitimate artists who were forced to reveal more than they wanted to about their creative process just to prove to detractors that they didn’t use AI. While hatred of AI “art” is very defensible, directing that hate any anyone you have a mere suspicion of is just making things worse for real artists.

And yeah, the visual clues that something is slop are getting more and more subtle, and that does pose a problem for our ability to quickly differentiate, but that absolutely does not mean than that the slop has equal value to human-created works. Anyone arguing otherwise is just telling the world that they are anti-Human. I which case, I recommend taking a look in the mirror and considering that maybe not all humans inferior to a GPU, just you.

No, the size of the sensor matters, and phones are mediocre cameras. I will die on this hill.

You’re not coming across as someone who cares about women. You’re coming across as someone who loves guns so much you’re willing to use rape victims as a prop.

Guns don’t make women safer from rapists. If you disagree, you better come with receipts proving otherwise, because you’re the one making the claim.

Are you responding to something specific from this article? I feel like we might have read completely different articles.

So you’re just going to parrot Elon Musk’s public statement about why he doesn’t need permission? Get outta here!

He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.

Musk doesn’t have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.

To be fair, Oakleys have long be associated with toxic men, so this was on brand for them.

Look, I actually want smart glasses, but there is absolutely no reason for there to be cameras in them.

Just give me a HUD so I can follow transit directions or something. I’m not trying to take creepshots.

What really frustrates me is that governments and big business have normalized surveillance everywhere, and now big business is basically selling wearable spyware, and this is all quite egregious.

But, one of the biggest ways to combat this is with “sousveillance”, or the surveillance of oneself. This has proven to be quite effective for motorists who own dashcams, and could be useful other places as well. But AI-peddling billionaires have ruined the reputation of that kind of thing entirely to the point where even open source variants of this tech will be rejected by the public.

So businesses, the government, and the police have the right, and in many cases the obligation to record your every move in public, but you aren’t allowed to record your own surroundings in return.

Weird Al is a creative. Embracing AI at all is the wrong way. There is no right way to offload your humanity to an algorithm.

So your argument is that unless a majority of Americans own guns, you’re not even allowed to correlate America with guns at all? What a dumb argument.

Nobody ever said that the majority of Americans own guns, they said that guns seemed like a more American solution than 1W+ lasers that could easily fry a camera from a distance.

Unless you have the numbers to suggest that more people have those kinds of lasers than the 100M+ people who have guns, then your point is meaningless.

At the end of the day this was an unserious suggestion to fire guns at utility poles made in jest towards a country with constitutionally enshrined gun rights and an unhealthy gun culture. Why be this uselessly pedantic about gun ownership statistics that nobody even mentioned or challenged?

Imagine launching that scale of infrastructure, loaded full of Nvidia chips that’ll be outdated in like 2 years.

Buddy, I live here and I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you’re telling the truth, I send me a link, because $35 for unlimited mobile data is a steal.

No, people just think your petty response to the headline, in the absence of any meaningful response to the article, doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation.

Yeah, but that is also not the name of the company.

Also, do not underestimate the popularity of the Amiiiiiiiiiiiiga!
