  • Lemmy loves artists who have their income threatened by AI because AI can make what they make at a substantially lower cost with an acceptable quality in a fraction of the time.

    AI depends on being trained on the artistic works of others, essentially intellectual and artistic property theft, so that you can make an image of a fat anime JD Vance. Calling it plagiarism is a bit far, but it edges so hard that it leaks onto the balls and could cum with a soft breeze.

    AI consumes massive amounts of energy, which is supplied through climate hostile means.

    AI threatens to take countless office jobs, which are some of the better paying jobs in metropolitan areas where most people can’t afford to live.

    AI is a party trick, it is not comparable to human or an advanced AI. It is unimaginative and not creative like an actual AI. Calling the current state of AI anything like an advanced AI is like calling paint by numbers the result of artistry. It can rhyme, it can be like, but it can never be original.

    I think that about sums it up.


  • Parrots are the type of animals that if you have to ask if you should get one, you shouldn’t.

    They are like buying a permanent toddler with a pair of vice grips for a face that can develop trauma from innocuous things and well develop bad behaviors that have to be addressed appropriately or they will get worse. They can develop mental issues that can lead to self mutilation.

    There is no guarantee that an eclectus will be anything like the bird you met. They all have different personalities and they are only vaguely similar. You can have one that is totally chill and loves to cuddle, or you can have one that has anxiety and will viciously attack water bottles and you have no idea what bird you have until it has gone through “puberty”.

    If you want a bird, get a cockatiel, not a parrot.

    Source: 25+ years of experience living with parrots and 4 years working in a pet store that sold parrots as the “bird guy”. My bird that has anxiety and viciously attacks water bottles is currently yelling from his cage because that is what he likes to do before bed for 10-15 minutes.


  • Cats have a butthole and it is often visible. People have a problem with seeing their cats’ turd cutters and cats do not like to wear pants, made less likely by the largely cottage cat pants industry making feline fashion out of the reach of most. The solution is to bedazzle your cats’ balloon knot with a jeweled medallion that hangs from their tail so you don’t have to see their chocolate starfish.

    How much your cats may appreciate something perpetually grazing their leather cheerio depends on the cat.

    Rosebud, rusty sheriff’s badge, fart box, smelly frekle, crinkled star, cinnamon ring.
