You just need to look at the catchlights in peoples eyes.

Which traditionally are removed in photoshop by media anyway. Anyone you see in advertising images aren't 'real' people either.
I got most of these wrong.

AI images should come with a watermark or imprint. Otherwise, our ability to be duped and manipulated will put us, and democracies, in the hands of wicked people.

Then there’s the day before, everyone tells you “the prep is the worst part” and they are not wrong. Taking the laxatives is just a miserable experience thats a full day of nothing but self pity.

Another formulation of this, that I used to tell my postgrads when I was teaching: 'If you leave it until the last minute, then it will only take take a minute.'

Todays spicy opinion is that Microsoft Word and Google Docs aren't 'real' word processors.

Which is why so many people think — is some esoteric AI only grammar.

I think what is going to happen is that lab-grown meat will gradually catch up with real animals and when that happens we will all quietly admit that the vegans were right about factory farming
i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock
remembering the time a random catholic priest got mad at me about a hypothetical about the government restricting meat production on the other site

meat politics is going to be insane for the next Dem administration which takes climate change seriously, imo
