I mean, AI can be used to design a lot of robust yet efficient structures. In engineering and architecture, with enough data, AI can generate designs for buildings, and parts that are not only sturdy but can be built with less resources along with other design considerations. There’s a really cool nasa video where competitors are trying to 3D print structures for habitation in space.

AI is also used in medicine to come up with new protein structures to create new medicine. It’s also used in environmental sciences, to help predict earthquakes or monitor land use, etc.

There’s a lot of practical uses for AI.

Yup. I never used any of the apps (always opened reddit through my mobile browser) so I wasn’t affected that way. I am sympathetic to all the issues brought up, and I do really like the fediverse, but I don’t think the users are here yet.

I like going to reddit to read about opinions or someone more knowledgeable than me talk about things. I find there’s a lack of discussions in the fediverse at the moment for me, and maybe that’s due to me having to curate my experience more. I don’t know. But for now, yes, I still use it.

Because only a few people have a truly symmetrical face. Your hair acts as a sort of frame and so a middle part can end up emphasizing the imbalances that exist and thus make you look more lopsided. There are also additional considerations to a beautiful face. Symmetry is one, proportion is the other. You can have a very symmetrical face but if your features are smaller or larger in relation to it as a whole, then that can ding off a few points on the “beauty” meter.

That’s why asymmetrical hairstyles can work so much better. It can shape your face in accordance to its symmetry and proportion and thus make it appear more balanced.

I think our surroundings would be much cleaner. We’d have less flyers, billboards, tarps, etc. We would live in a quieter world filled with less distraction.

As much as I hate it however, I agree that it’s a necessary evil, but maybe it could be executed more responsibly. I personally prefer “buy it for life” discussions, or product reviews by experts, or those gradings according to sustainability. So maybe in a non-capitalist society, adverts would be more informative than just, “look at this shiny thing, don’t you want it?”
