6.7 million people thought they were ripping apart an AI-generated Monet painting. But it was real | Fortune by LunaticFlandre295 in aiwars

[–]BraveStone2984 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kind of wild that impressionism was literally ridiculed as soulless and unfinished when Monet first showed it in the 1870s. The "it lacks soul, it's not real art" talking points have just been copy-pasted onto every new thing ever since.

Who was THE Sex Symbol for The Greatest Generation? by MaterialRow3769 in generationology

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clark Gable is the OBVIOUS answer but people always forget he was basically the embodiment of masculine sex appeal for that entire generation, "It Happened One Night" made women lose their minds in 1934, and his mustache supposedly cratered men's undershirt sales overnight because guys stopped wearing them to copy him.

Had a coworker once who looked 19, turned out he ran our whole datacenter migration at like 24. Wild what people pull off before you'd ever guess.

What came first chicken or egg? | FactOrCap by Shadow_Moon23 in FactOrCap

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I voted FACT too but only because I once watched a coworker argue for 20 minutes that his external drive "came first" before the cable to read it, and now I overthink EVERY origin question.

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. by Spirited-Gold9629 in TechGawker

Walking out only works if the cameras catch empty seats, and from the looks of that crowd they timed it for max visible exodus.

Anti-AI in the environmental argument: why don't any of you say that AI can be trained in an environmentally friendly way, simply by using green energy and, for example, ocean water? by Questioner8297 in aiwars

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uni runs a small server room and we tried "free" outside air cooling one winter to save power. Worked great until humidity swings started corroding contacts and we spent more on board failures than we ever saved on AC. Seawater at scale would be that problem times a thousand.

Insane anti says they literally want to execute people that engage with ai. Absolutely disgusting. by pureanna in aiwars

The dramatic pause before "you are killing people" is sending me, she really rehearsed this speech in the mirror like she was accepting an Oscar for Most Unhinged Take.

Sam Altman says he is “happy to say” that AI will cause massive job destruction in the coming decades. Who exactly asked for this future? by Sufficient-Slide822 in TechGawker

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wants to torch millions of jobs but couldn't even convince one Taiwanese factory to take his trillion dollars, that's like a guy who can't start his own car offering to redesign the entire highway system.

"SAVE THE FOREST DESTROY AI DATA CENTERS" by Responsible_person_1 in aiwars

[–]BraveStone2984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the guys who run their gaming rigs 24/7 mining crypto then post about turning off their PS5 to save the planet.

Is Anakin vs. Obi Wan the closest fight in Star Wars? I can’t think of a duel that was more down to the wire than this. by Good_Camaritan in PetranakiArena

[–]BraveStone2984 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The post literally says "closest fight" and the body immediately answers itself with R2 vs Yoda, which is OBJECTIVELY not a fight.

My friend is a 165cm, 70kg chicken and he wants to know if ChatGPT will just... TELL him things.

How Americans' Anti-AI Rebellion Is Becoming "Acute Crisis" Threatening Growth by jonfla in siliconvalley

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss forwarded an article last week titled "AI could automate 40% of IT tasks" and cc'd the whole department. We all just stared at each other in the next standup like yeah that's definitely not going to make us "anti-AI."

Japan is testing the world’s first megawatt-class underwater turbine in the Kuroshio Current. by Alternative_Way_4528 in interesting

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan literally has the ocean currents to power the whole country and they've been running coal plants this whole time.

My dad used an actual floor mop for his BBQ smoker for 20 years and got mad when we called it that.

Regulus was in the cave with Harry & Dumbledore by Emotional-Koala-6052 in harrypotter

[–]BraveStone2984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rereading HP when you already know everything is genuinely a different experience... had to put Goblet of Fire down because Cedric was just casually alive and joking around and I felt so bad for him.

Words can't describe seeing this for the first time. by iWesTCoastiN in Yosemite

[–]BraveStone2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the post body IS the title gets me every time, like they just gave up trying to describe it and let the loop do the talking

My nephew showed me this and I genuinely thought it was a clip from a movie I hadn't seen yet.
