If he loses, that is.

But then came smartphones, and instead they grew up with that…

The drive where the emergency porn is stored, in case of your state either bans or “not bans” (makes the providers to do mandatory ID checks and them to be responnsible for abuse) it.

A lot of people misapply OOP principles, causing them to come up with stuff like ThingFactoryFactory, or the things Enterprise FizzBuzz parodies.

I wonder what the children of this joke would be…

That was his wife.

Garbage collection is such an evil thing…

Remember, every time you download an episode instead of streaming it you cause the corporations to lose MILLIONS (according to their words).

Case sensitivity is so much of a problem, that in college, people were always told to keep all their filenames all lowercase, to avoid issues with them.

One issue is, many open source AI also tries to ape whatever the big ones are doing at the moment, with the most outrageous example is one that generates a timelapse for AI art.

There’s also tools that especially were created with artists in mind, but they’re less popular due to the average person cannot use it as easily as the prompter machines, nor promise the end of “people with fake jobs” (boomers like generative AI for this reason).

You’re no no longer using the term Luddite on us! Character development!

I’d agree, but here’s one issue with that: we live in reality, not in a post-capitalist dreamworld.

Creativity takes up a lot of time from the individual, while a lot of us are already working two or even three jobs, all on top of art. A lot of us have to heavily compromise on a lot of things, or even give up our dreams because we don’t have the time for that. Sure, you get the occasional “legendary metal guitarist practiced so much he even went to the toilet with a guitar”, but many are so tired from their main job, they instead just give up.

Developing game while having a full-time job feels like crunching 24/7, while only around 4 is going towards that goal, which includes work done on my smartphone at my job. Others just outright give up. This shouldn’t be the normal for up and coming artists.

I don’t think that’s a feasible dream in our current system. They’ll just lobby for it, some senators will say something akin to “art should have been always a hobby, not a profession”, then make adjustments for the current copyright laws so that they can be copyrighted.

Even worse is, in order to further humanize machine learning systems, they often give them human-like names.

Don’t forget that the pirates usually don’t say “art should have been just a weekend hobby, not a profession”.

They need to rename themselves “Intelligent Archive” then claim they’re an AI service that can just happen to regenerate whole books.

Actual monitor is from what I’ve heard, rather underwhelming, and you need to turn off cleartype on this due to the top screen being flipped (and it also has like a single frame delay).

Here’s the problem: the big corpos also will gain this power, and with the brand recognition and their reach…
