discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[MrRedd]

Lots of friends still like Jack and Coke, and if they hand me one, I'll drink it, though I won't do it with Crown anymore. But, yeah, a Cuba Libre is about the only cola drink I'd readily order if the mood hit me. I will do something like Fresca with rum - an ex got me started on that.


Ballentine's (or other blended Scotch) and Drambuie, 2:1, on the rocks, twist of orange. If I don't have fresh oranges, I'll use a dash of Triple Sec (orange liqueur for any that might not know). It's a nice change of pace now and then.

Skip the Triple sec... and use Cointreau instead... way better

Cointreau IS a triple sec - and the one I happen to keep in my bar and use.

So, I was on Civitai, and I can see that in a few years, the only people complaining about AI art will be the artists. Some of those animations are smooth. It wasn't even that long ago when AI videos looked like a bunch of similar-looking images. Now, you can get a few-second video that looks pretty legit, other than a few things.

It's sad in a way, and makes me feel like traditional art, other than concept sketches for the AI to follow, will be mostly dead. Sort of like horse riding after the invention of cars, only kept alive due to people specifically wanting to ride a horse, despite it being slower and more expensive.

I think traditional art will fall into a similar place, with it mostly in demand due to people wanting original human-made art, despite it being more expensive and slower to produce.
The situation makes me feel nestalgic? kind of sad?

What do y'all think about the situation? Will my prediction happen in a few years? or do you think the whole thing isn't going to happen because an orange man destabilized global trade, and the stock market sees a crash similar to the dot.com but for Ai ending mostly ending development? or how do you feel about the AI?

Photography replaced portratists, recorded music replaced live performers, video replaced live actors, etc. but only to an extent. All still have their places, and those places are still where they always were: with those who could pay for them. What the LLM ("A.I.") production really does is what the camera did: allow anyone so inclined to make useful images at will rather than have to find an expert do it for them. The LLM's replace those experts for general cases and the experts will be in demand for specific cases, and only by the (somewhat) rich (as was the case 85% of the time anyway).

In short, LLM image production puts 'artistic license' in the hands of anyone willing to pick up the LLM 'camera' and make a picture, 'democratizing' art much the same way the camera (especially camera phone) eventually did.

That and they really liked the P90 in that show.

The P90 came along later in the show -- though it did give us one of my favorite quotes: when they started supplying Jaffa with weapons Jack denigrated the staff weapon as a weapon of fear made to frighten your enemy then said "This is a weapon of war. It's made to kill your enemy." Before the Stargate SG-1 team began using the FN P90, they primarily used the MP5 submachine gun. The P90 was introduced midway through season 4 of Stargate SG-1, In world it was because they needed more stopping power against the Unas -- In reality the cartilages spit out towards the ground with the P90 and not in your co-stars faces like the MP5

Cointreau IS a triple sec - and the one I happen to keep in my bar and use.

You beat me to it -- While all Cointreau is triple sec, not all triple sec is Cointreau. Cointreau is known for its better balance and higher alcohol content and it happens to be the one I keep in the cupboard - Normally I drink it straight up as an after dinner shot.

Didn't say "just" said "is". And, just because it's the best (not sure I'd give Porsche that spot amongst automobiles) doesn't make it NOT the thing that it is.

There are few liqueurs/aperitifs I drink straight up - usually don't have many around anyway. I like them as a piece of a puzzle rather than the sole player. Sort of like eating a spoon of sugar by itself - it's just more of it than I want on its own. Although - and this will sound odd but it's done - if I want a big umami hit with a bit of a burn, I'll pour a half shot of a well aged balsamic vinegar.

I'm assuming this site (or at least this thread) is majority EU if everyone is going to bed now.

Ehhh, I like to think we have a good mix here, sometimes it's just more active, and sometimes not.

Spoiler: Vizer

That's why I always write a list!)

That's an amazing idea!
Now I just have to remember to write the list.

Spoiler: MrRedd

I came here for games, but now I'm addicted to the forums... anyone else had this happen to them?

A lot of us started that way.
At the very start of the coin age, I only wanted enough to get into m+, and well, that did happen, I just forgot to stop talking, because the people here are that amazing!

Hope you guys have a good Sunday!

Its a mix -- as the Euro-trash starts going to bed more and more Western Hemisphere fuckos start showing up - It's sorta got it's own biorhythms.

Hey, who are you calling Euro-trash?

You... you... American red-neck!!!

I guess it's either in members+ or P1, I'm not sure how to tell which it is in. I'm still a newb myself.

Mmmm At what point someone stops being a newb? Am I still a newb? Are you sure you are a newb?

Going to go ahead and wish everyone a good day. Tomorrow will be busy for me so I won't be around much.

I hope you are having a nice night, and that you will have a nice busy day.
