Use a diamond doesn't "use up" that diamond.

And yet, it's still unethical to buy already mined blood diamonds from people who continue to mine more blood diamonds. Funny thing about that, huh

But we're not "killing" every person who benefits, literally or figuratively. We're continuing to buy their diamonds (pay them in money and data) while they continue to mine (train new models, use copyrighted material).

It's the mining of diamonds that kills all the children. After the diamond is mined, I can use it with almost no child deaths. Diamonds are fine.

In -40f, if you don't have artificial heating in your house, your pipes will freeze.

I live in a relatively warm part of Canada and let me tell you a sweater alone is not enough 😭
There are plenty of places in the USA Midwest and Europe that get colder.

Cave racoons

promptGenerate a photo of a group of sightless raccoons deep underground in a subterranean cavern. The racoons are sightless. The racoons glow slightly with bioluminescence. The cavern has a pond fed by a small stream. Moss, small plants, and worms grow. Very dark. NIGHTTIME. Ambient lighting only. Photorealistic.

Copilot really hates to make things dark 😡
This was supposed to be deep underground

I believe so. I wonder what is the ordinal of the set of ordinals.

MC Escher pinball.

I'm not entirely sure how to launch the ball, but hey 🤷

I tried to generate a pinball machine so large that it used planets as pinballs, but it just wouldn't. It'd just make very large pinball machines in orbit around a planet with colorful pinballs. I'm crushed.

Leaving this idea here for others to steal just because I wanna see it.
