He got too rich, had a crisis of conscience, then took some time in Africa to end up deciding that money > conscience.
In short, no one’s “paying him” to be a bigot, he’s just the typical rich piece of shit. He defends other rich pieces of shit because that’s what rich pieces of shit do.
Shitty? Yes. “Enshitification”? No.
AI might hallucinate things that aren’t there when used in computational photography when it’s trying to fill in the gaps.
So it’s putting things that “aren’t there” in when it’s…filling in things that aren’t there? This is why “hallucinate” is such a problematic term. It obfuscates the fact that this is what these programs do with everything - they were designed from the start to make shit up. It’s not “hallucinating”, it’s fulfilling its core programming function.
They’re primarily a tool to remind audiences what happened/is relevant, but it’d definitely be interesting for a show to unceremoniously alter flashbacks in similar ways to how brains alter real memories.
What’s popular and “well known” is rarely, if ever, innovative. Established comics are always the most boring and hacky of their time. They may have been fresh and innovative once, but once they’re at the top, they just become tired shells of what they once were. The actual trend setters are the up-and-comers. That’s who define the era.
These losers hardly represent all of comedy.
I don’t disagree with you, but this is isn’t exactly “idol” level expectations, either. “Not selling out to horrific regimes” is basic decency I’d expect of everyone, not just those I look up to. Most of the names I see here make sense, but there are a few I expected to be better than this.
What an asshole.
Here we go with the purity test BS.
Do you think that you never bought an product from companies in problematic countries who are doing human right abuses?
If you don’t want to be called out for it, maybe don’t do it in the very same comment, yeah?
Also,
I welcome anybody who want to boycott any problematic country
So what? The US also did a lot of terrible things to other countries and we never boycott it
So which is it? People can boycott what they want? Or are they “hypocrites” for boycotting in ways you disagree with? For someone so concerned with “consistency”, you are all over the place.
And I’ll ask again, how is your condemnation of the boycotts beneficial to anyone being harmed?
Your “consistency” is bullshit purity testing.
Talking about double standard is not whataboutism
Please, enlighten me on how your claims benefit anybody other than those profiting from suffering? What tangible action are you promoting here?
Quibbling over why it wasn’t “good enough” doesn’t support your criticisms of other boycotts anymore than “but what about other countries?!” does. If that’s your metric, no boycott or action against countries/companies will ever measure up. So really what you’re arguing for here is complete inaction, which won’t make anything better at all.
Maybe that’s part of the problem, eh? Also, maybe skim a newspaper once in a while.
There was a Radiolab podcast about people dealing with that. Sounds rough, hah.
Congrats to Ireland.
From what I can find, BC takes 15% for most sales, 10% for high-sellers. Dunno if that’s good or bad, but it seems low to me.
*It’s no longer running*
Friendly alert that it’s currently Bandcamp Friday - one full day that the site gives 100% of purchases to the artists. It’s a good way to support small artists and build up a personal collection.
The effort of including context does not go unappreciated, for whatever that’s worth.
Ah, I see. I was for some reason only assuming portable use. Hope it’s working well for you!
That’s what? A few megabytes of storage? That’s an absurd restriction.
