I see, and who will enforce the limits of source material?

Looks to me like right now, there isn't any limitation. AI is getting more and more invasive. I'm afraid to write on my computer because AI is on my computer, whether I want it or not.

where did the "missing ideas" come from?
Oh, that's right. Humans. Humans you're not paying.

This is the team I expected to see this year.

I think you're conflating automation with AI. They are different things. I create formulas in Excel and use those for work. That's automation.

I don't go take others' artwork and then "produce artwork" and claim I created it. That's AI.

Opposing AI isn't opposing technological progress; it's opposing using technology to steal from true creators and splurt out shit content.

Reminds me of when I read the Bourne Identity. The movie makes it sound like it's about a secret government superspy project.
The books makes it clear: it's about oil.

I have only one word:
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

... and that boy grew up to become Bernie Sanders

(not really)

That child volunteered to be one of the cute attractions. Food allotment granted.

Just came up with a good name for a current-events protest album:
Divided by Zeroes.

Are you gonna make me do what I done in Texas?

No, no sir.

Good, because I don't wanna do what I done in Texas again.

*later*
So, sir... what did you do in Texas?

I had to walk.

Gee,that's really swell of you,Jerry!

There's speculation that Mariah Carey will surpass all others for most time on the Billboard charts for a single song this year; in fact, it's almost a guarantee.

You should've realized this year ago, during LAST CHRISTMAS season

Yay! Glad to see new posts by you. 😊

My favorite scene in Jurassic park is when they all get in the Jeep to get away and the car won't start because the seats detect human weight but their seat belts aren't fastened.

This scene was cut from Snowpiercer.

I didn't realize auto makers were forbidden from .. checks notes... making smaller vehicles.

straight facts

sounds like a roller skating rink then
Kind of like an escalator that doesn't move, just repurpose it.

I've always had it a different way: any company* whose highest-compensated employee** earns 100 or more times what the least-paid employee (based on working 2000 hours a year, or 50 weeks x 40 hours) gets nothing: no subsidies, no tax breaks.
*incl religious institutes
**incl parent companies

They are invited to watch the Rachel Weiss film Denial, based on a true story.

Are you sure this isn't an Arrested Development-Breaking Bad crossover event?

see, this is why you deserve to become a powerful arch-mage

Are you going to ad hominem me, as well?
I was born in Texas and currently live in Texas.

Second, if you think USA politics doesn't affect Canadians, I don't know how to tell you about how hegemony works.

I totally agree. Stating somebody's opinion is invalid because of their nationality is a pathetic ad hominem.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?
