I feel like these fall a bit more into the “digitally altered” than pure “AI”. There’s some funky shit going on with the hands of the photographers in the first Katy Perry image, but by and large these are far better and lack the typical obvious “tells” of AI pictures, where you can pretty easily call them out because…

I would say it’s the genocide.

He’s been spending most of his time voicing Groot? I imagine it takes him like a few hours at most to just belt it out with a few different inflections and a few different languages, and he’s set for the next dozen or so movies.

You might think so, but it’s not like any of the information about that is new. We all knew Drake pulled a 16 year old on stage and kissed her AFTER confirming her age. We all knew he corresponded creepily with the likes of Millie Bobby Brown and Billie Eilish and others in classic groomer fashion. Though as far as I…

Yeah, even Drake’s nominal defenders seem to struggle to name any albums he’s done that would be considered “classics”, but as long as he keeps putting out bland singles that get major club play he’ll continue to have a career.

Plenty of rappers work with mainstream pop artists.

While I’ve enjoyed Kendrick repeatedly beating Drake worse than Homer beat the Krusty Burglar, I’m skeptical it will do any lasting damage to Drake’s career. Kendrick is a rapper’s rapper, whereas Drake is more of a pop star. He (or rather his ghostwriters) write rap that Taylor Swift fans can enjoy.

Count me among the tired. Each successive season of this show just gets bleaker and bleaker. I get enough of the seemingly futile fight against encroaching Fascism in my normal everyday news intake.

Entering his Jonathan Pryce era.

Well, there are numerous reports of not just the supercharging team being laid off but also the team that oversees the commercial charging program. Tesla chargers at businesses and apartment complexes are reporting that their chargers are bricked and they are getting bounce back emails and nobody answering the service…

I can’t imagine how anyone would want to work at Tesla after this. I wonder if Musk will take a page from his Twitter playbook and try to hire as many immigrant workers on visas as he can, since they’ll have to do what he says under threat of losing their work visa status.

Really draggin it out huh. Truly the slideshow of final seasons.

Yeah, that’s kind of the perspective I’m seeing on this. I think it makes no sense and is useless, but I’m not someone who’s all about the latest tech gadgets. Someone into gadgets might be really jazzed about this (the concept at least, not the execution), even though it seems superfluous and unimportant to the…

The way he talked about it, and keep in mind this is second hand so I may not have understood it exactly, but it’s basically like, you can ask this pin information and it will find it for you, without having to bury your face in your phone to find the info, or something. Which, maybe, is useful?

I talked to a friend about this and the Humane AI thing basically like “what is it...for?” and he was really excited about the idea of it (though less pleased with the results) and basically what he explained was that it’s like...a way to look things up without looking things up on your phone? Which seems like…

This reminds me of waiting in line at the Universal Islands of Adventure Spider-man ride where everything has that weird kind of cel-shaded 2D look.

So what happens to all that grant money now that it seems like Tesla is out of the supercharging game?

It’s about the power, sure, but it’s also one of the most (if not THE most) absurdly large compensation packages in the history of capitalism.

One thing I did sort of like in the movie was that Gorr is actually given a modicum of redemption...he actually “wins”, despite realizing he had lost his way at some point, he isn’t totally just discarded because he’s a “villain”.

I know that beach resort! Never stayed but my parents retired to Vero so every time I visit they always take me to the restaurant that you’re allowed to make a reservation at even if you’re not staying there.
