  • Most of LLM/image generators are overhyped, but imo there is enough of a use case and a value case (if you want to cut down on paying people) that they will significantly erode the power of labor once more companies understand how to actually use them besides typing prompts into websites

    Voice acting will become even more dire of an industry than it already is with voice to voice AI filters making it so a studio only needs to pay 1-2 voice actors to voice a cast of dozens

    Art teams will be halved or decimated once more legal teams give the go-ahead for using image generator finetunes to make specific use generators that pump out their exact desired style with only minor manual touch-ups needed. The outcomes would be borderline indistinguishable from their usual art, but now they have to pay much less people for the same work.

    Artist contractors will similarly be racing to the bottom against the bottom threshold of 'literally free' (they already are atm really)

    Data entry jobs will be eroded.

    Translation work will be heavily eroded.

    Lower level modeling and filming jobs will be heavily eroded.

    Higher level programming work will still be in high demand but entry level stuff will be under valued and hard to find.

    All of that pushes more people into other fields looking for work, and thus erodes the labor power of those as well. Things get shittier and we get a lot of ugly things to look at.




  • tbh when this happened to my old 360 wireless i just bought a bunch of replacement parts and silicone wraps and decked my controller out in the gawdiest rainbow colors imaginable. The total cost was probably 1/3 of a new name brand controller too

    unlike switch joycons, 360 controllers can easily be taken apart and put back together like its nothing too


  • It's really annoying how when men get this specific plotline the focus is usually about them getting in touch with the humanity and emotions they've closed themselves off of, or have been actively denied from them

    but when women get this plotline, it's a solid 50/50 chance the focus is on them getting in touch with motherhood and sexual intimacy (with a weirdly common focus on their uterus)

    it'd be like if a grown child soldier man was weeping because he's never been allowed to do big cums in people. like what the hell














  • Boss, the animals in the egg industry are bred to the point that their rate of egg laying leeches the calcium from their bones and causes numerous health issues and a low quality of life even in the best case captivity, much less factory farming.

    You're basically pointing at designer pugs who can't sleep from sleep apnea from blocked airways and saying 'well wolves suffer in the wild too yknow?'




  • I know the average twitter user doesn't know any better but it makes me uneasy when I see people using #noticing/#nooticing as a funny... hashtag or something? Not realizing they're kind of contributing to a certain neo-nazi dogwhistle (pictured here)
