Remember kids, there’s always money in the banana stand.

He did more labor for that 50k than someone like Musk did for their next 50k

But AI is so useful for laundering racism, sexism, and IP theft with plausible deniability.

I assume the artists and riggers are contractors while the talent are most likely employees.

The issue with that is the talent’s PLs are a direct competitor to hololive. Some companies are tolerant of employees having consulting gigs on the side, I don’t know of any that would be ok with employees directly pulling customers to their side gig using company resources.

Hololive doesn’t credit their in house modellers or management either in this way.

The talent fully understand the quirks of having a job you can’t put directly on your resume, but they also get strong networking opportunities if the need to jump ship, it’s up to them to make that tradeoff.

They are also acting as mouth pieces for the company, if a company releases a statement, they don’t usually cite the PR professional who drafted the notice.

I don’t even hide it. I keep iterating back and forth between running TTRPG games and writing short stories. I do think I’ve started to hit something more satisfying with using a looser system (plug for https://lemmy.world/c/owboybeboprpg devoted to a fairly dead TTRPG that I probably only like because I haven’t done enough research into more popular TTRPG systems)

For me, it was this cycle where I would just get kind of exhausted at the writing process, outlining, writing, editing, and then feeling a bit dejected when its never quite as good as you remembered, then when I DMed tabletop games, it felt like I wanted more control to ideate high level visions for the narrative. They both scratch different itches in the creative process, and sometimes its nice to just switch up the itch.

People like to virtue signal about things they don’t know anything about.

This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.

Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We’d empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.

So, it seems like the secret was the opposition parties actually campaigning on doing things the voters liked and addressing their concerns instead of belittling them. I agree, I think US politicians should also try actually appealing to disaffected voters to get them to vote against tyranny instead of lecturing them.

They’re opening up a US office, so it makes sense they’re testing out US sponsorships. They already have Japanese baseball sponsorships and they’re also planning to open their office in CA, near LA isn’t an odd location for that.

The issue is AI is just too broad of a term. It’s also not a magic bullet and comes with its own problems so it’s not even the best tool for the job many times.

No, Google and Amazon were actually well run businesses with sensible business plans to meet needs in the market and did it well.

It’s easier said than done. A few key pieces took decades to figure out and even now many can only be produced by one or two companies, like ASML.

I mean this is criminal negligence that lead to many deaths. I’m not a fan of the death penalty but they should be held as liable as a drink driver or someone who skimps on building materials and kills someone when the building collapses.

Regardless of what one might think should happen or expect to happen, the actual psychological effect is harmful to the victim. It’s like if you walked up to someone and said “I’m imagining you naked” that’s still harassment and off-putting to the person, but the image apps have been shown to have much much more severe effects.

It’s like the demonstration where they get someone to feel like a rubber hand is theirs, then hit it with a hammer. It’s still a negative sensation even if it’s not a strictly logical one.

One man’s far end is another’s centrism. I don’t think there are too many truly centrist places left because the Gulf between left and right is so wide the center is just a giant ball of contradictions or meaningless statements.

They were firing at military targets because Israel assassinated one of their generals. If Israel wants to start a war with Iran while they have their hands full with Gaza and Lebanon that’s their perogative but the US shouldn’t be enabling this insanity.

They might be able to produce things with automation and AI and only sustain a small lower class to maintain those machines.

Are you eating ripe or young jackfruit? Young jackfruit is what’s often used as a meat substitute, ripe jackfruit is sweet and has a unique flavor.

Dyson Sphere program has some great interplanetary and intersolar exploration and supply chain building. I thin that’s the more apt comparison.

I find a coffee type meeting and a conversation is a good way to feel out of it’s a crush or actual connection. I definitely wouldn’t linger if there’s a mismatch in expectations but I’ve also regretted jumping straight to dating with someone I would have liked to hang out with platonically but now they feel weird about it or think I dumped them.

It’s definitely not how a less emotionally mature me would have operated so maybe your right and it’s not the best advice here.
