Japan also has these at every convenience store:

Seattle is probably my favorite. Good hack for New York is to ask them to put the hot sauce they usually use for kebabs/gyro on it

I have this as a sticker on my water bottle

If you're going for "pop music all sounds the same", that doesn't really match my experience of actually listening to modern popular music. There's so much damn variety and unique sound out there these days. Although I'm not a professional musician so I guess I can't be sure what kinds of creative restrictions being in the industry puts on one

Soon for me "human being" will be high enough of a bar to be nontrivial to enforce

I loved programming since I was 14. This was an acceptable passion to spend time on because it would allow me to be successful (read: make money).

My sister always loved visual art, and is now in art school. This is an unacceptable passion, and when she tells people that she's in art school the first response is almost always "oh so what are you planning to do with that degree?"

We have been conditioned into a very narrow definition of success. It's not surprising then that we start seeing art as "the next big problem to solve", and you have all these tech bros frothing at the mouth to be the first to "solve" it and become the next startup billionaire.

Low-effort art and music has always been around. You don't see anyone bumping those inoffensive cover albums and lounge remixes that you hear at the mall or the driving range in their cars though. Anyone who doesn't already love listening to music isn't in that position because of a lack of options in the (sigh) market. So I promise you won't see "billions of new customers" dying to consume derivative slop music.

one thing I hate about AI images is that if you have multiple of the same subject in the image, they often all look exactly the same. the backs and faces of those leopards are eerie in their uniformity

Once I got used to single-directory filetree browsing plus fuzzy finding, I have never been able to comfortably use a traditional filetree anymore. most of them are not designed for efficient keyboard use (vscode and intellij at least) and don't really help understanding the structure of the project imo (unless there arent that many files). For massive projects I find it easier to spend the initial effort of learning a few directory names and the vague structure using oil.nvim, and then eventually I can just find what I need almost instantly by fuzzy finding.

Ken M made a similar joke a while back right?

 

Are we going to have movie discussions here like /r/movies used to do? I want to talk about and hear what people thought of Oppenheimer. Is there already a post for Oppenheimer/should I just make one? (Sorry, I'm using Lemmy from the Thunder app and can't figure out if I'm able to search for posts)
