Like, just as with those who think that the information they ask ChatGPT and the like is true, how many of those who ask the AI for images will believe that they are a representation of reality to which the AI had access because of a supposed omniscience that these people falsely attribute to it?

Can you imagine? A person convinced that the fake images they create are real in some twisted way? I'm guessing it will be a very small number, but I doubt it will be zero.

I start with a couple: knitting and crocheting. They are two of the two most useful things I've learned so far, all thanks to my grandmother and one of my aunts. Creating bags to carry things, repairing pants, jackets and backpacks, creating little cushions for my lower back or to support my wrist when I'm in the office, etc.

I still remember with some humor how my grandmother insisted to me that, as a man, I should not be ashamed of knowing how to crochet.

Oddly enough, my sister is the one who doesn't know how to do either those things lol

I don't particularly use generative IAs that create Alt Text from images, but I've seen a lot of people who do use them and I think that's the only use of AI from which I can't draw anything negative.

The fact is that there are many people who do not know how to make a good Alt Text, and therefore either do not put them or put one that is only the word "photo/image", which is much worse.

I think if AI had started there, as a tool to help accessibility, it wouldn't have the stigma it has today.

But of course, there are not enough blind people in the world from whom to get absurdly, ridiculously, vulgarly obscene amounts of profit...

I'm talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much.

The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed.

I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time... Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that "Sonic was never good", "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" nonsense.

The natural order: first the remake of the second game, then the first, then the third and then forget about The Room because nobody liked that game (I did, I like The Room).

The instance I'm in, TKZ.one, has 41%. Good number! But can get better!

When you don't have enough money, you have no choice but to be smarter and more resourceful. You have to learn, you have to look for other alternatives, be aware of where you are going, where you step when walking and, if you slip, to get up and take note of your mistakes. You can't afford to be stupid or look stupid, otherwise your life, which is already hard, will get worse.

But when you are rich? It doesn't fucking matter at all. You can make the biggest fuck up that a human being can do in his whole life; be deceived and swindled for amounts equivalent to a person's 5-year salary, over and over again; you can believe all the fakenews and pseudosciences that humanity has created; you can screw up as many times as you want... You will still be rich, you will still be opulent, you will still be able to make more mistakes.

While all of us are one accident or a serious illness away from ending up in economic ruin, the rich don't stop being rich even by dying.

Obvious? Yes, but it doesn't hurt to remember.
