The comments make me feel like I've completely lost my mind.

Screenshot of Reddit post titled: Woman demands my seat at packed coffee shop... then gets mad when I don't leave immediately I was at my local coffee shop this morning, one of those cozy places where there's like 6 tables max, and it's always full. I had my laptop out, headphones in, sipping my latte, just trying to get a little work done before heading into the office. About 30 minutes in, this woman (probably late 40s?) comes up to me and taps my table. I take out one earbud and she goes, "Excuse me, I've been waiting and you've been here long enough. Mind letting someone else sit for a bit?" I'm kinda caught off guard because... huh?? Like yeah it's busy, but no one owns the tables. I politely tell her, "Hey, sorry, I'm still working, I'll probably be here another 20 mins or so." And then she rolls her eyes and goes, "Unbelievable. Some people are just so inconsiderate." And THEN she sits at the edge of my table. Like?? Just fully parks herself there. Didn't even wait for me to say anythir I try to keep working but she s making these loud sighs, like she wants to make sure I know she's annoyed. A couple people nearby noticed and kinda side-eyed her but no one said anything. Eventually I just packed up because the vibes were off and I wasn't gonna finish anything with her throwing a silent tantrum two feet away. Anyway, I get that space is limited, but entitlement doesn't get you a chair faster. You can ask, but "no" is a valid answer. What happened to basic manners? Just needed to rant a bit. Anyone else had someone try to claim your space like that? I'm genuinely curious how v'all handle these kinds of interactions.

Alexander Avila is a really talented and insightful YouTuber. I have a feeling that poll was info-gathering for an upcoming video about how people justify using AI art, like the screenshot below suggests. I'm not saying he went about it in the best way...
Two Tweets from Alexander Avila @aretheygay First Tweet: I'm putting forward this hypothetical, not as a way of defending Al art--I'm just interested in the justifications people provide and what assumptions they rely on. Relax. Second Tweet: Let's say Van Gogh's training data is only his own previous art work, but he, for whatever reason, didn't want to paint this time. Would the output be art in this case? Yes - 25% No - 75%

Goodbye, my sweet, affectionate, little weirdo. You've been perfect.

Cyber trucks look stupid everywhere, but it's just so much stupider in Manhattan.
