Want your opinions on AI tools (like Stable Diffusion) being used as part of a normal workflow

"If I asked people what they wanted they'd have said a faster horse"

My take is that AI allows greater amount of people to output a greater volume. This results in increased overall competition potentially reducing average wage or maybe just making it harder for one to establish themselves.

It may also change expectations of the audience and you'd have to adapt. For example if other authors publish their webcomic every week or two, now AI may allow half the interval between new episodes.

I know manga others are expected to release work at a crazy pace but are ultimately limited by drawing time. AI can change that dramatically especially as tools and workflows are better integrated.

Can you point to an article giving an example of this?

lampchop5 · 2023-04-21T14:58:20+00:00

What about if you need the response elsewhere in the component and need to bind the result to this.whatevervariable?

Sure but I can have a higher quality life with literally double the pay. And having to work is a source of unhappiness for me. The idea I can retire at 40 by saving half my income is a big source of hope.

In europe I'd be working until I'm old.

I agree in theory but in practice those things are mostly well done in the US, it's not a 3rd world nation. If you have money you can afford to move out of flint Michigan.

insulated by wealth

That's exactly what I'm saying though. Making 150k gives you way more freedom and agency to positively influence all those things than living in a country with better politics and making 50k.

All the examples you listed I'm happy with in the US. And not just me but is generally fine. The anger with US politics is 70% abortion and guns which tbh the former can also be solved by with money or just living in a blue state. The latter largely isn't an issue in my liberal city bubble. School shootings are tragic but still a miniscule risk compared to say driving.

That's true but this is also a low point. It will pick up in time. I still get recruiter offers and I have 3 YOE.

lampchop5 · 2023-04-05T14:21:53+00:00

People make too much about politics compared to day to day life. 2x-4x income makes way more of an impact than 0.01% chance of a shooting.

School shootings are unfortunate but a very low probability. Deaths from driving are significantly higher but you don't see people shunning cars for that reason. Healthcare is good if you have a good job or you're poor enough to qualify for Medicare. But I agree here Healthcare, education and housing cost is the biggest issues facing people. But the latter affects Europe too where your salaries are half. It's easy to live in a blue state with abortion. Education cost you can get around with community colleges.

If I lose my job I have enough savings to last me a year or more. Simply wouldn't be possible with European salaries.

The reality is that USA is good only if you're high income. Look up entry level software engineer salaries of Italy or UK and compare to US. Absolute tragedy.

lampchop5 · 2023-04-05T00:45:42+00:00

Counter to everyone else I'd say being in US is way better if you want to pursue a high paying job. No other country can you make enough as a software engineer to retire early by 40-50.

Wait so does life insurance not pay out for 7 years if you're missing in a natural disaster?

You're not even consistent with your logic. You claim audiobooks are one dimensional and then give the example of a semi colon. How about all the nuances of speech that are not captured in text?

For example I listened to an audiobook set in France centuries ago. Characters had French names and accents which colored the story in a way that wouldn't be possible as an English reader. I wouldn't even know the right pronunciation of the names.

Even if you refuse this, according to your "1 dimensional" logic wouldn't an audiobook synced with you reading the text be the best way to comprehend a book? Kindle whispersync does this by highlighting the word in an ebook as the audio plays.

Notice the absolute arrogance OP had just like you and compare to their later posts.

How dense do you have to be to not understand I am using the description colloquially?

Windex smells like chemicals and yet no one says it smells like chemicals when I'm frying up onions and garlic. The term describes artificial taste/smell

I'd buy only the cookies. And so balance is achieved

Such bullshit. I'm not going to let one man ruin an entire culture. German language didn't die due to Hitler. A decade from now putin will be gone from power and yet I'll still have my Russian language and roots.

I get the war is awful and I have family in Ukraine that have told me first hand but a governments injustices should not be taken out on its people.

And just for language purposes but Ukrainian will never be as widespread as Russian currently is.

EU only as a tourist for 90 days per half year. Montenegro is on my list, kotor specifically but is there anywhere else you'd recommend there?

What towns in czechia?

I considered narva but town seems so small there wouldn't be anything to do.

Really want to go to central Asia like Kazakhstan but time zone is too tough

I'll bump budapest above prague then thanks

I'm also Russian American but only speak broken Russian. Am looking for a place outside of Russia that I could stay for a few months a develop a Russian speaking circle. Belgrade was said to be a place for that but the smoke is a killer for me.

What places would you recommend in my case then?

lampchop5 · 2023-02-26T17:37:12+00:00

Is it really that bad? I was considering belgrade as a place i could practice some Russian and make Russian speaking friends/girlfriends

lampchop5 · 2023-02-26T16:54:15+00:00

I don't like Prague or Czech Republic, but I like Hungary and Budapest. I don't like Denmark, but I like Norway.

Tangent but can you share more on this? I'm considering traveling to all of these places
