It's already been discussed on environmental impact in another comment, but even beyond that, AI does not mean slop. Sure, the majority is low quality slop, but legitimate use of AI is possible. It's a tool at the end of the day, and imo fully usable within reason. People just really like shitting on AI because they think all of it is slop.

Take for example the parody music video I sent. For a normal person, getting the budget to create that with real voice actors would probably be around the thousands/tens of thousands. The other alternatives would be voice stitching, which ends up being a distinct style (think tf2 voice chops) or hiring cheap voice actors who will 99% not be able to replicate a character's voice like that. In short, a creation simply only possible by AI.

Another one would be the scooby doo ai voice incident. The creator was a normal student, and instead of using text2speech or subtitles, used AI to at least make his animation sound similar to the characters. He still put in effort, it was a good animation, but he was bullied by the original voice actor for the horrible practice of .... being too broke to afford an actual voice actor.

AI does not have to be so black and white. I get the sentiment around hating AI, hell I vehemently hate corporations trying to stuff ai in everything, but not all usage must be considered bad.

Could have gone and became an action film actor at that point

Ehh theres good and bad

I'm personally not a fan of brostep, but I will admit that skrillex was an early pioneer of the scene, and a lot of modern edm is shaped around that era (which is moreso around the start of mainstream edm imo). A lot of the first exposure of edm for people was through early internet culture, which a major portion was mlg memes and a lot of brostep. For me, if it wasn't for brostep, I wouldn't have color bass (one of my favorites atm along with just good ol dnb). Even brostep brought a resurgence in traditional (-ish) dubstep in the form of teardown and riddim (not much 2 step though)

Example of color bass that I like https://youtu.be/2mInwGLfEaI

If he is found guilty does not mean he is guilty. That's the problem with the death penalty. You can release someone if future evidence disproves the conviction. You can't bring someone back to life if you give them the death penalty.

I dunno about cheaper tbh...

Working there right now. I was originally going to work in cali but due to circumstances ended up here instead... Same company, different team, 30% pay cut pretax.

No state tax, but sales tax is 10+%, and groceries here are slightly higher than cali. Rent and utilities are the exact same as when I was in LA. A 1bd goes for 1300 for a shitty studio with only 200sqft, no stovetop + only a minifridge. The next jump is an actual 1bd but at 1.6k. I got lucky and found a 2bd for 2.5k which im splitting with a roommate, but that's not normally the case.

I looked at house prices and they're at 1.2m for most. Which is the same average prices I seen for both norcal and socal.

By the time trump hands over the US there might not be anything left, considering how much has exploded in 4 months

Depends on how they want to implement it. I'd be fine with just separating nsfl (content warning/gore) and nsfw (18+ topics) because those are inherently not comparable even though both are not appropriate for work

They can cater to better labelling, but clarifying the two would be a solid step

Imo nsfw is a bad tag and should be separated to at least viewer discretion (nsfl) and porn. I'd probably add a tag on offensive humor too, since I don't think my workplace would appreciate things like guillotines or 2meirl4meirl, but that is less useful than the other two

Just wear a glider jumpsuit so you can just ascend up with telekinesis and then glide the rest

Good luck, the only lead I have is there is someone named c33d on soundcloud, but it most likely is not the same person LOL
