My thought exactly. “Oh shit…DBZ was right…”

Guessing here: deflation is worse for us than inflation for economic reasons. However, in this capitalistic hellscape of a prison server we now live on, I’m pretty sure the inflation we do have is completely imaginary pricing to steal more capital from the working class before we destroy each other (hopefully billionaires first, but come on, that’s a joke too).

Reset the “days since ‘slammed’ used in headline” record.

I don’t want to use AI to generate the sick, tattooed mice in this story, but I bet they’re pretty rad. (Animal testing, less so, jokes aside)

This feels like idle game mechanics or something. What are they doing exactly?

The updoot farming here makes me hesitant, but it’s still true.

His plastic surgery looks the most noticeable I’ve seen so far.

Unemployment rate for men, 20-24, monthly, seasonally adjusted

There’s plenty of places catering to that main version like you said. It’s been possible to do this video editing for decades, but the speed and customization feels like it’ll fuck society in unique and horrible ways. You can take a few banal photos & generate hardcore porn.

I’m not a big fan of making shit illegal, but it feels like there should be some consequences to generating this content without consent, especially when distributed. You could turn someone into a porn star with enough time & effort.

I heard the meme at the end.

I think I mean like in a movie.

A trope now is a widow looking at someone who passed with some longing. We’re starting to see more stories about the “AI afterlife” industry. I don’t think it’s long before movies or shows incorporate this hellscape we live into the plot.

If I was painting the scene, it’s probably a dude who loses his wife in her 30s. He went out to a date to try and rebound, but no dice. He comes home, looks at a photo, then generates the porn. But he starts crying in the middle & doesn’t finish.

I’m thinking about it as pretty sad.

If you want to make it a comedy, the generation gets all AI weird towards the end, and he freaks out and throws the VR headset off.

Oh geez… I haven’t been to Reddit in a few years. Having that be the draw or main aspect of the subreddit just seems really weird.

I can see this being more prominent the closer someone was to their peak, like someone who passed in their 20s or 30s. It’s a sad outcome of our times.

I agree. I’ve been watching the AI afterlife industry coming online, and it feels really bizarre. One aspect is replicating a loved one in text or audio.

However, AI porn from banal photos will be a problem. It feels a little like Pandora’s box, and I don’t think the public knows how bad the problem will be. The public has been uploading photos & videos of themselves for years. It’s not trivial to make deepfakes, but it will, sooner than most people think.

And with that comes the combination of these things. A grieving loved one, maybe watching on VR, with generated porn from someone the passed. It feels like some messed up cyberpunk necrophilia, but I can see someone doing it too.

I’m not a big Revelation person, but it does seem like we really like to fight over that area. A bunch of billionaires? In one place? Being secured by robots with guns? Nothing can go wrong there either.

Excuse me, have you heard of the K shaped economy? It’s the everyday hellscape we now live in, where the rich can’t buy enough, and the poor can’t buy anything. Plane ticket sales down, first & business class have no inventory. Less people than ever can afford a house, and mega mansion sales are booming. We can’t afford groceries, but 5* restaurants have no reservations.

At some point, this shit comes to ahead. My pessimism suggests the rich want to figure out AI / robot security, so they can stop relying on any people at all.

Oh yeah, add in some sycophantic computers telling everyone they are perfect and every solution we have is paradigm breaking or revolutionary. Nothing will go wrong at all.

Hey man, I do tarot, read it, then ask my AI what it thinks. It feels real.

/s

…no but for real, I like do draw tarot, and the AI has helped me get better at reading. It’s for funsies; I don’t take it seriously.

Sorry, you want the Tower here.

It’s one of my favorite cards for symbolism, because the story is so apparent on the card. People jumping out of a burning building to their peril.
