I feel like there is a significant difference between going to the DNC and going to the RNC.

For one, the DNC attendees didn't bring jizz cups with them.

They were probably nude

Man I need to find the record I have that came with this comic.

Is he really using Epstein's plane? That's insane....

The lead contamination were only (or at least predominantly) from Lunchables made specifically for schools, not ones that you buy from the grocery store. These are also the ones that have the increased sodium levels (on average by 300mg iirc).

The crazy part to me is that it's specifically the Lunchables made for schools.

Really makes me feel like Sisco or Bon Appetit (industrial prison complex companies) are the ones producing the food, just like they do for prisons.

People went from paying for cable and addon channels, to having a consolidated service, to having that service split and paid for addon channels again.

Not to mention keeping track of when they pay, since they're all different dates unless you do it on specific days all at once.

Then there's self hosting and having everything in one spot. Phew, nothing like it.

Will Simpsons Did it have evolved into Marvel Did it?

As someone who wants to make their own game, I do not have the time to learn to code and the engine, and do my art, and do my music, and work the 3 jobs that I have.

I want the time, but I don't have it lol. (No, I'm not using AI because of this, I just wanted to suggest that time is valuable and so each additional skill is less time for other skills)

I no longer wished to use Logitech products after using G-Hub. Most horrible software.

Live performing arts.

How the hell is AI going to get a body and then act, or perform a concert? It can't. It can do those fakes Hatsune/Tupac concerts, or create a 2D movie, hell it could probably make a VR movie eventually.

But I have doubts that live events will ever be significantly affected. I worked at a performing arts center for 7th-12th graders which also used the space for external events (performers who want to have a dance show, or their play, or whatever else).

You almost can't even integrate AI into so many of the processes that we do. Like, sure, maybe you could use AI to speed up setting up lighting cues (using Q-Lab), but then you're still having to run through the entire show and make sure that fits the artistic vision of the show runner. And sure, you could have AI replace the live mixing, but how would AI run the cables? How would AI set up the light fixtures?

It can't. For as much as people are saying AI will kill the arts... It seems like there's a lot of jobs in the arts entertainment industry that are pretty much immune from having these positions taken by AI. Yes, AI can "perform", but are you really wanting to go to an AI concert in place of seeing your daughter and her friends performances?

And if the answer is, "well AI will just make it so that people aren't interested in going to human sponsored events", frankly, I disagree. The fucking OPERA of all things has ticket sales up.

People like people. Watching people do things is what is interesting. And for so many of these events, people are required, with little to no opportunity for robotic replacement. There is a difference between AI creating an entire movie (something that is being worked towards, and is very possible) and being interested in seeing it for the novelty, and living in a world where all entertainment is created by AI. It's hard to even see how it would become the norm, as even with the arts being removed from U.S. school curriculums, there are still so many opportunities for them outside of school. Parents are still signing their kids up for music/theater/dance, just like they're still signing up their kids for karate.

That is unless people think AI is going to steal the jobs of martial arts teachers too. If anything, I'd wager people's sentiment towards AI right now would even bolster people's desire to see human-centered performances in the coming years.

Of course, things like killing sets programs in schools sets a bad course for the future, as it could make way for more AI created content as the standard, but man. Kids love acting more than their iPad once you get them started. That won't change in 10 years, the only thing that has changed is certain state public schools willingness to fund fun. So while I could certainly be wrong... Do people really want to go to a Blackbox version of AstroWorld or Coachella? Do people really want to go and see Black Swan being performed by whatever body the AI gets, over a professional ballet or even their child's performance? And this isn't to say that people wouldn't go see AI content - there would certainly be market for it. I just doubt it would replace humans.

All that said, bring out a really good form of UBI and for the love of all that is creative let's let AI take all the dangerous, janitorial positions. Let these people scraping by doing jobs no one else wants live by doing what they want to pursue creatively, not forcing them to work 40+ hours weeks hazardous to their health just to put food on the table. It's cruel.

Did you ever apologize to Steve?
