While I agree that it's a good idea to seek help, antidepressants do have significant negative side effects for some people, and aren't really that effective long term. And therapy can take a long time to help, if it does at all.

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but the last sentence of your comment feels a bit insulting.

Well, it is one of the most effective antidepressants...

No reason to carry knives in public

Knives are so useful, I think carrying a multitool with multiple decently sized blades is very reasonable.

I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I'd say I like everything else, although I've had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.

Have you ever had homegrown sundried cherry tomatoes? I think there's a huge difference in flavor between good and bad tomatoes

I made this post in response to seeing a low quality AI video that was literally an ad for a company.

I'm fine with actually high quality AI stuff (labeled, preferably), but there seems to be almost none.

It's been everywhere for a while, but the fediverse seemed like a last bastion up until very recently where I've noticed a change.

Is this the end of human-based online articles and interactions?

I sure hope not. At least it's just a few posts here that are generated for now. If it ever gets to the level of Reddit, I might just leave.

As someone who is both, would definitely say I'm interested in generative ML. (I was an early adopter of locally run diffusion models and LLMs. I kinda ended up deeply disappointed by the tech in a lot of ways, but that's a different discussion.)

But personally for me the issue is that I really don't care to see posts that someone didn't care enough to make themself, or read something that someone didn't care to write. And it's always super bland and uninteresting.

Yeah I agree. The issue is that image generation tends to result in maximally bland outputs, and the people who post it tend to put minimal effort in.

I'm not categorically anti-ai, but I feel like I am in practice.

I'm referring to stuff that I consider low quality. I don't mind if something is generated, as long as it is labeled as such and is interesting or valuable in some way.

Except in real life the person is lower in the building. At least in the US, right wing policy almost always hurts conservative areas more.

Anyone know why it goes from blueish to pinkish in color at the end of the arc? It looks like the same color shift that happens in a plasma globe.
