Halosheep,

I think I’ve finally reached old, everyone.

This meme has never been funny to me.

Halosheep,

“Did you think…” No they don’t do that.

Halosheep,

I have a husky, he’s a giant lovable teddy bear made of fluff who is a giant coward in front of any sort of adversity. It’s hard to imagine him hurting anything intentionally. He plays with my 2 cats and hasn’t intentionally harmed them in any way.

But then, I’ve also seen him catch a squirrel and crush it’s skull right in front of me, just because.

Dogs are still animals, and the bigger ones can still be dangerous even if they seem friendly and safe with the right conditions.

Halosheep,

Idk man, friend of mine works as a mechanic for the airforce and makes ~78k/yr, gets a large housing bonus, and has access to military loans that have really good terms, comparatively.

Ignoring the whole military lifestyle bs that he has to go through, it’s not that bad for someone who really doesn’t know what to do with themselves.

Halosheep,

He doesn’t work on aircraft. He works on other vehicles needed on base. Much of his income isn’t taxable, so he effectively brings home more than average. Not to mention Healthcare is paid for, even if it’s not that great.

The “having to live wherever they want” part is a non issue for some people anyway. Though I agree I would see that as a significant con.

Halosheep,

No kidding, wish we would just develop these policies for everyone, not just military service.

Halosheep,

As someone from Texas who isn’t a climate denier, fuck off.

Also we’re having severe thunderstorms nearly daily… I am not ready for the rebound of heat that’s about to come.

Halosheep,

Lactose intolerance is more common than lactose tolerance globally. In the unites states, something like 1 in 3 people are lactose intolerant.

It’s largely genetic. Lactose tolerance can be traced to nomadic tribes that kept milk producing animals as a food source, adapting to tolerate lactose in their diet over time.

Halosheep,

Dude what the fuck are you on about? Wild animals carry parasites and other harmful microorganisms that cooking removes. Are you seriously implying that modern farming is the reason we cook our food?

I know that capitalism is the boogeyman on lemmy and is the cause of all things bad, but this one really takes the cake.

Halosheep,

One of the dumbest and most pedantic differences I can think of in the English language.

Halosheep,

Ammo can go off without a gun, yes, but is significantly less dangerous. The casing just sort of takes off and you have deal with much lower velocity soft casing rather than a bullet. Still can end up with some wounds but the deadliness is practically nullified.

Halosheep,

I work 23 miles from where I live. How would you suggest I get there without a car?

Halosheep,

Lol I don’t know what weird reality you live in but it ain’t this one. The homes close enough to my job are literally 5x the price of the one I live now.

Halosheep,

Hey man, I think you forgot your meds this morning.

Halosheep,

You definitely didn’t read the article in it’s entirety, and it shows.

Halosheep,

No fast food manager is also a landlord.

Halosheep, (edited )

Installing a security camera in a walk-in freezer/refrigerator is a little more complicated than that though.

Halosheep,

Considering that the original post is most likely taken from a fast food restaurant, the context of your post would imply that you’re speaking about one.

Idk, I guess to be here for a while, try to be happy, and then die? Pretty much everyone’s general purpose.

Halosheep,

Okay man, sure. You claim I’m just making shit up but here you are doing the same damn thing.

Halosheep,

When did lemmy redefine conservatism as liberalism? Am I in some reverse world?

Halosheep,

Sorry man, my job is not under threat by ai. The human element to what I do currently can’t be replaced. I certainly use it to help me get my job done faster though.

The threat to “the arts” is not real. Corporate, soulless art might be a less lucrative field for an artist in the future due to image generation capabilities, which is definitely an unfortunate consequence of its development, but real art still has a human value that can’t be replaced by ai. That said, I’d consider image generation to be just another tool of creative expression. Ask 10 people in a room to come up with an image with any of the image generators and you’ll see vastly different levels of creativity in their prompts. The average internet hate train is just targeting this change this time around. It’s exhausting seeing internet posters see something changing and decide to target that one thing until they get bored because their manufactured rage doesn’t actually produce anything.

Halosheep,

Ai generated journalism just made shitty journalism easier. The same shitty “top 10 whatever” sites were posting a similar level of pointless drivel 10 years ago but now they can produce more of them, I guess?

As someone with very limited artistic skill, I think your opinion of AI art is gatekeeping. Sorry not everyone can pick up a pencil and put down the exact image they want to see. For me, it’s just another tool of creativity that also happens to lowers the barrier to entry. You’ll find very different ability in producing specific results among users, too. I’ve gotten a bunch of people at work to join me in coming up with prompts and it’s fascinating to see how different people come up with different ideas, and how some definitely understand how to work with image generators better than others.

Not sure what you mean by shitty answers. Ever asked a human the answer to something? They often get things wrong too. I’ve definitely googled something many times only to find misinformation and bad results. This isn’t exclusive to LLMs.

I agree with your last statement though. It’s a great tool that has only been broadly publically available in its current form for less than a few years now. Certainly there’s a long way to go. I just think all the doomers in these comment chains are simultaneously not giving its current capabilities enough credit, but also vastly overestimating the impacts AI generation will have societally.

Halosheep,

Man, anti-“ai” folks are so uppity. Get over yourself, internet poster.

Halosheep,

Don’t do that, no one cares about that part.

Halosheep,

When they can learn to behave themselves and stop giving the dumbest takes in every discussion, they can have my respect back.
