Yeah sure, I bet China's economy is going to stop improving conditions for its people and stop building infrastructure and collapse any day now.

Well at least designer was still there. The same one who mandated the use of procedural generation to make Oblivion's dungeons and Skyrim's radiant quests.

Same metrics anyone judges art by, what it says to them. This is incredibly context dependent.

Show me the art and if just showing it to someone is insufficient, explain it to me.

Art is a form of communication, to hear that someone can be moved by expressionless AI slop is kinda like hearing someone had an enlightening conversation with a dog.

Like sure I can imagine someone can interpret a dog's barks to mean something, but it's still a bizarre scenario that says more about the person than it does the art.

Give us some examples of moving AI generated images.

It’s always a personal matter what you see in art, any interpretation that makes sense to you is valid

No, the thing that the author was trying to express has far greater validity than whatever the reader makes up. If that wasn't the case, AI art, where the author lacks any intent, wouldn't seem so lifeless.

AI art proved beyond a doubt that death of the author was always 99% bullshit justifying media illiteracy. Now that we have art without an author and it is totally void of expression.

A German accusing queer folk of promoting degeneracy, where have I seen this before?

Then I am confused why you would disagree with the left, that the political philosophy of capitalism, liberalism, is to blame.

A polar bear's skin must be pretty thick to not give a shit about a baby hanging on by the claws.

We don’t have a lot of dyed in the wool capitalists on Lemmy

*dyed in the wool liberals

Liberalism is the philosophy of capitalism, capitalists are people who owns significant amounts of capital.

To be clear, these are the guys who joined Al Nusra (which later rebranded to HTS) and allied with ISIS.

Trump deported fewer people than Obama or Biden per year because many states and cities resisted.

Looks like the dems are going to cooperate with Trump this time.

We shouldn't have expected anything else from the guy who made his name by splitting with the party to oppose desegregation.

I guess if Ukraine can't hold the territory, we can still punish Russia by blowing Ukrainian children's legs off for the next several decades.

FEMA camps (lemmy.ml)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml to c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Back during the Bush and Obama years, I remember hearing so many right-wing conspiracies about FEMA camps.

Why didn't anyone ask "If FEMA has the ability to set up camps and transport large numbers of people, why aren't they doing that every time there's a big hurricane or wildfire?"

The bill in question is the one Biden tried to pass, but was blocked by republicans after Trump called it a bad bill, despite containing only things the republicans want.

It would enable the president to shut down the border and gives billions to ICE, CPB, US Marshals, etc to increase detention capacity, train additional personnel, etc. It also gave billions to Israel and Ukraine.

Kamala gonna have the immigrant vote locked up.

Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
