He’ll almost certainly be selling access to the new east wing, so I guess there’s that.

What AI democratizes in art, is the perception of skill.

I was a professional artist for many years, and often noted a strong preference for photo-realistic art among non-artists, often to the exclusion of any other style or aesthetic. The people around me who tried to draw or paint or sculpt, even just one time, often had an appreciation for a more diverse array of approaches and media.

To me, most AI ‘art’ feels like the product of ‘artists’ who don’t even really like art.

I had a girl cancel and reschedule our first date shortly before we were supposed to meet up. That date happened, and she confided in me that she’d done that on purpose to gauge my reaction and general demeanor before actually coming out to meet me.

Finish cooking the noodles. Put flavoring in a bowl. Use chopsticks (or a fork I guess, good luck) to move the noodles from the pot to the bowl. Pour enough water from the pot into the bowl to cover the noodles.

No extra dishes, no risk of noodle loss, just the right amount of liquid.

Thought for sure this was straight out of an episode of Venture Brothers till I saw your link.

Rusty Venture’s cocktail recipes were an ongoing gag.

Thanks! I knew there was a term, but just couldn’t conjure it.

Oh, so Hertz has gotten wise to… every online platform that exists: Outsourcing all responsibility for their user-hostile bullshit to some vague “system” that cannot be held accountable.

I’m so sorry but the advertised cost has doubled because… Computer says so! No, sir, there’s nothing I can do, sir, you see it’s the system.

And you can’t go anywhere else, because everyone else is doing it (or soon will be) too!

The ol’ sausage twist

Of course not, the rules are for thee.

See? Trump said he’d create new jobs, and now you can start an exciting new career Disappearing Undesirables, or maybe even become an Official Military Restroom Pecker-Checker! Are we great again yet?

Comme c’est excitant!
