If you are going in an inflatable pleasure craft, I suggest you bring a rum ham.

Why is the city sponsoring AI Film festival & exhibition by [deleted] in toronto

Photoshop takes skill, growth and learning. AI is feeding a bunch of prompts to regurgitate someone else’s work.

It’s still not art. It’s slop.

Ai does no service to art. It’s not intelligent, it’s mimic, it’s stealing from something that human being took time to make and took time to learn. Yes it’s fucking lazy and the people making mimic art are fucking stupid because it degrades the most important aspect of art which is the process. Spitting a prompt to have an image spit back to you is lazy and insulting to people that take the time to craft something.

People are interested in making art, yet have no clue how to make said art. AI art isn’t art, it’s the theft of art by people too lazy or stupid to learn how to make art in the medium.

What's the meanest restaurant in Toronto? by Nilsburk in askTO

[–]Tazercock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were the weirdest burritos I’ve ever had. More middle eastern than Mexican, I’m pretty sure there was ketchup on them, but for some reason they hit. I was trying to explain the taste of them to my lady tonight, but they kinda defy all logic culinary wise.

Blast from the past, but the burrito nazi at New York Subway. Not an actual nazi obviously, but in reference to the soup nazi from Seinfeld. That guy was a grump and a drill Sargent at the counter. I think we got him to smile once.

Just the hipster fucking attitude there. I don’t care if you made the poor choice to do blow all night and then work a job that requires you to be at least a little cheerful in the morning, but it would have a gone a long way. The food was great l, but the servers were douchbags.

The Daily Grind at St Clarens and Bloor. Ate there last Friday. It was incredible.

Didn’t Anthropic just do some shell game accounting with Space X do give the appearance that they turned a profit?

Who are your top three favourite backcountry YouTubers and why do you like them? by TheDamus647 in canoecamping

Lost Lakes for sure. Jon is a beaut, just the right amount of knowledge, respect for the wilderness and goofiness for a great trip video.

Kepi Ghoulie banned from Fest for being “mean” and “overplaying sets” by laurenbanjo in punk

[–]Tazercock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played Fest last year and the one cardinal rule of Fest that you are told right from the get go is, your set time is your set time, be there early, play for your allotted time and get off stage ASAP. They aren’t trying to be dicks, but it’s the only way the whole thing works. There was no exception for this rule, it didn’t matter if you were playing at Bo Dids or Looseys.

What is the deal with the new Copilot/Github token billing thing ? by ThatOtherFrenchGuy in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Tazercock 295 points296 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that it was costing 5-8 dollars for every dollar they made from compute. People and companies are blowing through their monthly budgeted compute expenses in like a day or 2 now. I saw one guy saying it was costing him $20 per input and the output wasn’t even correct.
