well…maybe it’s some use case, but technology should be used to do stuff that humans don’t want or need to do. unless…

    I hate how it seems like whenever capitalists are trying to hype up their crappy tech it comes back “think about how it could revolutionize your calendar!” It’s a a fucking calendar dude, it’s basically as easy as we’re possibly gonna make it. It’s a grid you write appointments in. 🤷‍♂️

      My favorite cartoon. Doesn’t stop Alex being a simp for the democrats, at least last I checked.

      Banger show. Wish Hirsch got to make more stuff but unfortunately the Western Animation Industry is run by soulless demons who hate creativity, fun, and joy.

      Lol, didn’t even notice that.

      On a side note, imagine making Gravity Falls and never getting to work on another show again. We don’t push pro-comicbook propaganda to animation workers hard enough.

          No, he is fine as far as I’m aware. But he didn’t get to create anything after Gravity Falls, he was working on something with Netflix but nothing came of it. I’m not aware of anyone besides Dana Terrace who made a successful cartoon in recent memory and managed to move on to a new project. Western animation is cooked.

            Infinity Train is pretty great as well if you like gravity falls. Owen Dennis, the creator of Infinity train worked on Regular Show, and after infinity train got canned and removed by HBO Max during their animation purge in 2022, he ended up working on an Among Us movie lol

              Oh I watched the first three seasons of Infinity Train already, the whole shitshow that followed made me give up on animation entirely. And seeing the state of animation these days confirms that I’ve made the right call in my opinion.

              Just read (comic)books people, books are just better.

                I like voice actors and music though :(

                But yeah it’s pretty bleak. An animation renaissance is one of the many things to look forward to in a post-capitalist society.

      Strange comment.

      Anyway, Chinese people born and raised in Socialist China probably wouldn’t think of a thing like this as a use for AI because they aren’t so intensely estranged, isolated, and culturally narcissistic like people are in the US. It illustrates Altman’s own narcissism that he is seemingly blind to how weird it sounds to have an AI make a podcast about your own life or the lives of your children. “Now your kid can grow up feeling like a child celebrity who has no privacy! What a boon!”

      P.S. The thing about Chinese AI isn’t that all use cases are good if it’s Chinese AI. It’s that because China’s culture and power structure is fundamentally different, they are not going to tend to develop/use AI in the same reckless way that western “culture” does. The other thing about Chinese AI is that western imperialism not having a monopoly on the proliferation of AI tech is a very good thing for the world. The last thing we need is white supremacy trying to reassert its hegemony through AI-based colonialism/imperialism.

          I didn’t say you were. I’m simply making some points about what people usually mean when they talk about Chinese AI as a good thing vs. western AI. If you want engagement beyond that, you’re going to have to clarify what you mean beyond a bad faith claim about people in the community without any context to back it up.
