Cars also suck and we’d be better off if our cities were t designed around them

Democratic politicians are the ones that could remove the speaker, not voters.

People wanted it, the protests were historically big. It’s billionaires, the politicians they buy, and the people influenced by the media they own that are opposed.

Ok sure, not in the eyes of the law. But ethically

If you think the only point of art is to serve a functional purpose, I think we’ll have to agree to disagree

I didn’t say you had to.

And machine screws are a lot less art that art is, obviously, so I don’t think that comparison helps your case. Screws are the code equivalent in the analogy.

I argue that while it is possible to direct AI to implement your artistic gameplay idea faithfully, it is not possible to direct AI towards an artistic vision without losing a lot in the handling of the details.

There’s no right vs wrong, for art the details Are the fun part.

I’m enough of a sucker to think that there’s art in code as well (not just the game design but implementation too) but clearly less and it’s not nearly as visible.

Art is more artistic, it’s more of an expression of human ideas.

I don’t want AI either but I find AI art more offensive

I find it hard to imagine that it would be possible to be less ethical than the US labs.

This fear mongering doesn’t scare me

Hey no totally I agree, 15/sandwich is so much more than I remember and 12/drink is nuts. With inflation and cost of living here it’s like double what I remember from 2018 ‘burbs. I’m not trying to say it’s necessarily cheap.

But as someone lucky enough to be able to eat out almost every day at a variety of restaurants I have no trouble staying under 35/person without drinks. That place is not an outlier.

And like, fancy cocktails are nice but I don’t think you can say that it’s impossible to go out and do anything without spending $500 like OP claimed.

The nice Indian place next to me in Seattle is 24 for a curry & 8 for a side.

I’m Spencer Fleming and I approve this message

Yeah, if you’re getting three drinks each and an uber sure. I don’t think it’s an insane amount to spend.

It was framed as ‘Every Activity’ costs that much though which is just not true.

Those are the exact two I’ve lived in actually
