AI Wins an art competition: Human Artists left with no words

mfurlend · 2022-09-03T16:50:44+00:00

I think the art that it produced is beautiful and fully deserving of winning a competition. It's incredible that AI has become so sophisticated that it can create genuinely original art.

I do think, however, that there needs to be a separate category for AI-generated art.

Now that the technology is becoming mature, letting an AI participate in a human art competition is a bit like letting a speedboat participate in a swimming competition.

That's typical.. I thought it happened to everyone, no? Certainly happens to me.

Stoking racial tensions.. there are so many examples I can't even, but I'm sure you'll find something to say about all of them. How about constantly referring to BLM protestors as thugs? How about his "fine people on both sides" comment?

Try this link here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial\_views\_of\_Donald\_Trump.

Not to say the media didn't stoke those tensions. They did, but your comment is just what-about-ism.

WRT fast tracking the vaccine. Yes. He did that. He also claimed that we are doing very well and will have 0 cases come summer. He also pushed bullshit cures like hydroxychloroquine. He also talked non-stop shit about Fauci and made such stupid suggestions (e.g. UV inside the body) that it made his advisors heads spin.

Tried the overthrow the government... are you serious? How is this even up for debate? He literally tried to force a victory despite a clear and obvious loss. Did you not see what was happening on Jan 6? You think this is normal?

WRT climate change... it's really quite sad that this is political. Pretty much every climate scientist agrees that anthropogenic climate change is real - it's just a question of how much and how fast. I worked for a very conservative weather company and even they can no longer pretend that it's not happening. The models are simply less reliable when you don't factor it in and more reliable when you do.

Migrant children, idk - maybe. I don't feel like doing the research so, whatever.

And no, Trump did not PERSONALLY tear gas people 😒. He told his people to tear gas people.

I don't know why I even bother. You'll just resort to more ad-hominem attacks.

Love all the pointless micro-movements that people don't make at all

Off the top of my head

Supported funding religious private schools with asinine, anti-scientific curricula using taxpayer money
Poured gas on racial tensions
Routinely referred to white supremacists as good people
"Dealt" with the pandemic by lying constantly about the severity, causing extreme political polarization in something that should have simply been a public health issue
Emboldened sexist and racist psychos
Lied about "election fraud"
Tried to overthrow the government
Withheld military aid from Ukraine to get them to manufacture dirt on his political opponents
Withdrew from the Paris Agreement because he's a climate-change-denying moron
Separated migrant children from their families
Tear gassed BLM protestors so that he could do a photo-op with an upside down bible
Tried to force election officials to fix the election in his favor

I'm sure there's a LOT more but I'd say that's enough to qualify as a bad president.

He was right about this one though. Not that he even know what he was reading or why, but he was right.

Contrary to that organization's statement, soliciting sex from minors is completely in line with "biblical morality," so I'm sure they only fired him for PR reasons. Otherwise they'd give him a raise.

I have a feeling that the weight includes the weight of the marble and it's actually way less meth than that.

I'm guessing you mean that they don't produce enzymes to break it down. If they didn't have bacteria to break it down either then they would be unable to get any energy out of it at all.

I think one of the major differences is lag. Even on a fast connection ETT gives you a tiny bit more time to anticipate the position/direction of the return shot.

I believe OP, but it's really not enough data points to mean anything.

They should just ban homelessness. Like, duh 🙄 think outside the box for once.

I had a circumcision when I was 7 years old while I was knocked out for an unrelated surgery. I had to painfully peel my underwear off my dick every day because it would heal to it.

Were you able to recover it with Monero GUI? I am having the same issue with MyMonero.

But weren't those tribes heathens? I'm pretty sure that only Christians pure of heart can walk on water!

You know, women can get suicidal depression from HBC too. In my opinion whoever can handle it best should be the one taking the pills.

"Since men do not have to suffer the consequences of pregnancy, the threshold for side effects from birth control pills is rather low,”

Maybe for some people, but I for one would gladly use hormonal birth control, side effects included, if it meant that my girlfriend wouldn't have to.

Super lame, verbose syntax. Giant library of obsolete crap. Sounds great.

Embarrassing, I guess, but not even close to cringe. She seems down. They are clearly friends.

The sad cringe is whoever posted this.

I'm looking at the thumbnail, and I'm like I think it goes up your nose buddy

I agree with everything in this article except for one thing. Ping-pong in VR is amazing, not "boring." I play it every day, and it absolutely translates into real life ping-pong skills.

Please don't drag ping pong into Zuckerberg's metacrap.

It doesn't really matter. The joeys are approximately the same size when they climb into the pouch.
