Ok? So is Mimi comics and pizzacake if you ask me.

Yeah I’ve done some minor photoshop before but that isn’t really the point.

It’s not even that I wish I could do it. Sometimes I think of a stupid meme like the “well yes but actually no” pirate and a picture of Mr Bean and Sean Bean or something and I could let an LLM shit that side by side out instead of using meme generator and like 10 minutes of thought. Or I could just… Not. I actually haven’t ever, but people who say “oh just draw it even if it’s stick figures” are full of shit. If I want to make a comic I’ll just do it who cares how.

Of course there is value in art, but that value doesn’t come in proportion to the huge number of people studying it and it doesn’t come from comics or memes either in my estimation. I don’t/wouldn’t use a language model for those things because I have penis envy, but rather because it’s easy for dicking around. People asking for relationship advice to Claude are also not secretly wishing they had gone to school for a BS in psych.

At the risk of being dismissive, people with liberal arts or art degrees can cool their tits: basically no one is using LLMs because we secretly wish we had gone down that road, and the ones that do… Well… Bless their hearts they are a small and special minority.

You gotta understand what it’s good for as a tool and realize it’s not going to do your job for you.

The problem is that it’s utility is basically inversely correlated with your skill on a given subject because you can’t reasonably hope to guide it to what you actually want if you aren’t already pretty skilled. Similarly, how much “benefit” or “coolness” it provides you is also inversely correlated with your skill but with like 3x the slope of utility.

If you are needing to navigate a pool of text as an expert in a field, it’s obscenely useful and the holes/pitfalls are super evident. The less skilled you are as a user the more magical and beneficial it all looks, which is scary.

I would 100% let some model draw me up a comic to shitpost without a second thought, and it by no means should be construed to mean that I wish I had chosen art for a career or a major or even a hobby.

Doubt.

You spend so much time using your clock and calculator on your phone you clearly want to be an engineer but don’t have the skills.

Most of the stuff in this comm I look at and say “yeesh that doesn’t look right” because it’s under cooked / not properly seared or browned or plated like shit or something else that gives divorced Dad vibes. Your plate, on the other hand, belongs on the food porn comm!

I think it depends what you’re cooking. Of course it’s not cheaper to eat at home on the days that I’m busting out dry aged prime ribeye. But the days that I’m doing teriyaki chicken bowls on the grill over rice, that’s obscenely cheaper than like $15 per person fast food meals.

You’ll feel better and it’s likely to take you less time than ordering and waiting for something to show up. If you’re just doing pick up, it will save you 2/3 of the money you’re working doubles to make and then lighting on fire to eat fast “food”.

If you’ve got a rice cooker and a toaster oven I’ve got a couple of recipes less than 10 mins of actual work. I understand not wanting to work too hard at it too though.

Cheaper to eat at home.

Dude, let people have hobbies!

I don’t think that is anywhere contested, see The four boxes of liberty.

The thing is that order matters and you don’t stop using one tool when the next one is justified. For the same reason that you don’t stop reporting on illegal behaviors or filing lawsuits, you don’t just stop voting and wait on people to start shooting. It makes no sense.

Especially when protocol is to add every meeting you receive to the calendar. It’s easy to miss stuff when you’ve got 8 triple booked meetings in a day and you only actually NEED to attend 1 in every 5 or so meetings.

Basically nobody has good hygiene when it comes to meetings, emails, or messages anymore “fuck it, I will send it to the whole team” - dumb assholes trying to look busy.

And the shit is like bedbugs on Lemmy. There is no way to block it out.

Actually just a hilariously relevant coincidence. Now I wish I had said “weasel” instead!

Tooby Tommerville the sex ferret.

You think that’s a worse fit than: If I replace parts of a thing with SOMETHING ELSE is it still the same thing? The ship of theseus is more well known, but you would need to eat sand to think it’s a good fit IMO.

As an aside, the structure of the heap has nothing to do with it. The point is simply “when does a heap stop being a heap if I remove one grain at a time?” That is the same is the same as when does food stop being food if you make it poop one bit at a time. If you don’t like “heap” you can call it a pile WLOG.

You probably do too!

(If you don’t mind small shitty fingers)

Connected it to Gmail AND said “yeah fuck it, I approve of you using auto mode. Just fuck my shit up”

No that’s mixing metaphors in a pretty crazy way.

This is more like the Sorites Food

I would have expected what you got TBH. Some bonus points for being a lady breaking into the space.
