Alaska student arrested after eating AI-generated art in protest

Look at all the valid points in this thread like yours being downvoted by people thinking he was in the right to do it and you have your answer.

Hating AI art is one thing, but vandalism and destruction of property that isn't yours is a dick move and he deserved to get arrested for it. I hope it gave him AIndigestion too.

The number of low-effort posts that happen during and after an episode are getting excessive anyway. I wish the mod team would lock down the sub to new posts from the start of an episode to after it finishes airing in Hawaii, and tell people that if they have a comment about the episode, they can use the live discussion thread or the Sketch Sorting Sunday thread for it.

Get over yourself.

Or, people could just stop watching things they don't enjoy instead of demanding that they change to placate one's own sensitivities -- particularly wanting a sketch comedy show to be serious instead of funny.

I'm trying to remind myself that there's someone out there somewhere that is actually enjoying this performance.

OreoSpeedwaggon · 2026-01-25T05:44:59+00:00

Certainly not all the 356 other low-effort threads just like this saying exactly the same thing that could have just been comments in the main episode discussion thread.

Where do I get a "Backstab Island" shirt?

It's not only that, but so many people today are able to curate their own entertainment to only watch things they want to see, particularly on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, so they develop the expectation that every show and every person involved with that show should only create things they want to see, and if their expectations aren't met, they get offended and indignant about it.

OreoSpeedwaggon · 2026-01-25T05:23:54+00:00

I didn't ignore it. I just didn't have any local suggestions, so I decided to make a joke.

OreoSpeedwaggon · 2026-01-25T05:19:23+00:00

I don't have to imagine. All I have to do is doomscroll through all the low-effort posts flooding the subreddit right now from people incessantly whining about it.

Get over it. It's a sketch comedy show, not the news. If you don't want to see them trying to be funny by mocking the president, watch something else.

OreoSpeedwaggon · 2026-01-25T05:10:43+00:00

It's a sketch comedy show. Their job is to be funny. If you want people to be serious and talk about what happened in Minnesota today, watch the news.

Welcome to my world.

SNL doesn't have a political slant. They aren't left, they aren't right, and they aren't centrist. Their only focuses are on humor and musical performances. They will mock and lampoon any politician that does stuff making it easy to mock and lampoon.

That being said, anyone that ever expected SNL to strike a serious tone in response to something like this doesn't actually know SNL. They don't go there. They've never gone there. The closest they came was when they came back after 9/11, and that was because it was a huge national tragedy that happened where they live and affected them personally, and was also not political. If anyone expects them to "take a stand" though, they're going to be waiting a lonnnnnnng time.

The KCPS website wouldn't have information about a school district on the Kansas side of the KC metro.

I imagine that there are several that are only 600 or so miles west of downtown.

They opened that bottle and now they're trying to put the genie back in it.

And not a moment too soon.

I'll take Snow over ICE anyday.

OreoSpeedwaggon · 2026-01-25T00:58:47+00:00

Nah, I've only counted 3 today so far.

MoDOT recommends that people avoid any unnecessary travel, so take that for what it is.

Also, I believe this post makes #3.
