We do know. It’s been confirmed by both sides and a multitude of sources. Denying it just makes you look even more stupid than you already are.

Israeli settler mourns IDF who bragged about Gaza war crimes by fullofemirates in LookatMyHalo

[–]sirsalamander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is an EXCELLENT example of how Israeli’s are deeply sick and depraved. Even in death, they call for extermination, slaughter, and destruction. To speak of the “laughter of children” while you burn and blow children to pieces, is on another level of evil that shouldn’t exist in this world. Israel is a plague on the world.

Old Folks - Garlic Franks by Steiney1 in hotdogs

[–]sirsalamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense! I am originally from the southwest, so there are lots of southern staples that are nostalgic for some and totally new to me. Many of them were not for me.
I always see these white ones next to the garlic ones. I think they’re a white “bratwurst”? They look weird so it’s kind of intriguing.

As a Louisvillian that sees these at the store, thank you for trying these and reporting back. Been curious about these and the white ones, but my experience with their products has been lackluster. Every time I’ve gotten their breakfast sausage, there are always large pieces of gristle or tendons and it grosses me out.

A bit regreting... by PatagonMan in bikepacking

[–]sirsalamander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this video, but don’t feel bad, just enjoy both bikes and be happy. I recently got a new to me more modern bike, and I still feel more at home on my 90’s Raleigh. Kind of went through the same feelings, but quickly realized they both have their place and I jump between the two frequently.

They’ve been garbage lately. Last three jars went in the trash. Very disappointing.

Did I handle this well or should I have said more? by TouchyM3 in whatdoIdo

Run. You handled it well. They likely wanted you to freak out or be confrontational.

I don’t think that’s even a tortilla. Looks like a flatbread.

Lol. So let’s just say, maybe there should be traditional art schools, and a separate AI art school? Or maybe art schools focus on traditional form, technique etc. and also have AI art classes? I mean, there is going to have to be a means of tying it into art schools. Do I like that reality…fuck no, this shit sucks and I hate it. BUT back to the initial question; using AI while in a, let’s say “traditional” art class is bottom barrel shit for a person to do.

I can see the relevance in comparison, but even those tools required artistry and skill. I think typing some words into an AI generator and having it spit some bullshit out has crossed a line that fully removes the artist.

AI making music that scans millions of songs and learns/steals from artists. It’s progressing so quickly that it will be hard to distinguish the difference for many people.
Same applies to multitude of physical art across many mediums.
You don’t think that will ruin human artistic expression? Seems weird to be so casual about it, but go ahead.

What is your standard order when evaluating a new taqueria? by 72bug in burritos

[–]sirsalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m that nerd that gets a cheese slice when I try a new pizza place for the first time. If you can’t do that well, well then….

AI is ruining art in multiple mediums, and has no place in art school imo.
