Random AI(-related) question... say you're in your phone's gallery and it offers to edit your photo into a style, like turn a photo of you into a cartoon. Is this a case of an advanced photo filter being called AI, or is it actual "the data center polluted a gallon of water for this" AI?

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

I watched this going "that's so much bread... so much bread... none of them eat carbs in these levels..." and I'm so pleased that it was intentional. 🤣
Thanksgiving! It's that one time of the year that we all Conglomerate with the people we love – and with the people who aren't as easy to love.

I would like to slightly expand: "...a cartoon about a *Russian-Jewish* immigrant mouse..."
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I think Lego should have made a dedicated trombone piece. The build is interesting, but mostly looks like someone gave up in the middle of creating a Dr Seuss instrument.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I honestly can't fathom how in 40ish years, there hasn't been a crossover between TMNT and Daredevil. Eastman and Laird already cheekily connected their origins with the Mirage Turtles, just pick it up and run with it!
