It's a joke poking fun at podcast bros.

I'm using a screen XP-Pen 24" Gen 2 on Arch+Wayland+KDE right now, it has been a much better experience than on Windows. The tablet worked flawlessly out of the box.

However, there aren't any drivers for the included remote, and to calibrate the tablet itself you'll need to use OpenTabletDriver.

I'll just take my tools (video camera) into a cinema to learn off the latest Hollywood flicks. It's not an accurate 1:1 representation to the original source material, so the output that I've produced from it belongs to me.

> If it is acceptable for a person to learn, then it should be acceptable for a machine.

Is there a name for the fallacy when people act like models and algorithms should be granted the same rights as human beings?

Where do you think the Aliexpress Timex designs came from?

> One thing I've noticed - artists view their own job as more valuable, more sacred, more important than virtually any other person's job.

> They canonize themselves, and then act all shocked and offended when the rest of the world doesn't share their belief.

You could've written this about software engineers and tech workers.

> Obviously the existence of AI is valuable enough to pay the cost of offsetting a few artists' jobs, it's not even a question to us

No, it's not obvious at all. Current AI models have made it 100x easier to spread disinformation, sow discord, and undermine worker rights. These have more value to me than being able to more efficiently Add Shareholder Value

> I understand artists etc. Talking about AI in a negative sense, because they don’t really get it completely, or just it’s against their self interest which means they find bad arguments to support their own interest subconsciously.

Yeah, no. It's presumptuous to say that these are the only reasons. I don't think you understand at all.

> So if I produce something art, product, game, book and if it’s good, and if it’s useful to you, fun to you, beautiful to you and you cannot really determine whether it’s AI. Does it matter? Like how does it matter?

Because to me, and many others, art is a form of communication. Artists toil because they want to communicate something to the world- people consume art because they want to be spoken to. It's a two-way street of communication. Every piece created by a human carries a message, one that's sculpted by their unique life experiences and journey.

AI-generated content may look nice on the surface, but fundamentally they say nothing at all. There is no message or intent behind a probabilistic algorithm putting pixels onto my screen.

When a person encounters AI content masquerading as human-made, it's a betrayal of expectations. There is no two-way communication, the "person" on the other side of the phone line is a spam bot. Think about how you would feel being part of a social group where the only other "people" are LLMs. Do you think that would be fulfilling or engaging after the novelty wears off?

> When you're young you don't really think about it much, health comes for "free."

I can't stress this enough. So many of my peers have complained about back pain and other physical ailments, as if it was an unavoidable part of turning 30.

No, it didn't just suddenly appear the moment you turned 30, it's the symptom of accumulated damage from a sedentary lifestyle.

For what it's worth, I've managed to get a lot of them into fitness, and they're doing much better now

Lazy Nezumi has been around since 2009. Stabilisers,etc. are a lot more prominent in the digital art community.

> I like your art. I'm glad you made it. What I like most is that it's fun to look at and think about which is what you say you intended. I hope I get to see more of your art.

Just to be clear, it's not my art.

Au contraire, when your tools add the Hot New Thing for the sake of it, rather than any coherent product strategy- that's when things go downhill.

You're really underestimating how much the folding helps with handling.

The shortened length makes it extremely easy to handle with a single hand, and fits much better inside a pocket (a lot less cumbersome to pull out of a tight spot!)

Depending on how long my device lasts, I might make the move permanently to folding phones.
