Same energy as an unhoused cat choosing its new home.

Kinda reminds me of the AI winters that AI research has historically gone through.

A day that will live in infamy! But in a good way. A day that will live in famy!

Those poor, poor academic publishers… they’re actually going to have to do some reviewing? And maybe even some EDITING? …nah, they’ll probably just run them through OpenAI…

Even then, it will just slow research down and set us back. Scientists won’t stop sciencing, and it certainly won’t lead to discoveries they want.

Well… that can be more serious that you suggest. Tenure-track faculty need publication-worthy projects and grad students; what if the only funding available is military- and surveillance-oriented? Big universities are going to expect scientists to bring in the money or leave.

some “unofficial” replacements

• !streetart@lemm.ee… see !grasweeti@slrpnk.net, a lot of the same material (and is more active).

• !TwoGoobers@lemm.ee … see !relationshipmemes@lemmyis.fun, a lot of overlap

• !webcomics@lemm.ee … see !webtoons@ani.social for a partial replacement

Regarding !martialartsmovies@lemm.ee, @klu9@piefed.social has created !action_movies@piefed.social to replace it and more.

All those cycles are OK, but they don’t compare to the light cycles in Tron. Or even Kaneda’s bike in Akira. C’mon corporate dystopia, you can do better…

It’s not either/or, people can like both.

Perpetual motion machine discovered.

Guess it depends on what your childhood was like. No way I’d want to go through that again. Personally I’d be happy to be around 25-28 again tho.

I just wondered if you had a link to a story or analysis summarizing that, since I wasn’t aware of any of it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I’ll look it up.

We have a fair DNC now that won’t try to shove a conservative down America’s throats.

Do you have a link to a story about this? I don’t doubt you, I just want to read more about it.

Apparently there are 13 different adaptations. I kinda like the Australian one.

I had the full run of the The Office on video. I had video editing software. I had it all planned out, how I was going to edit out 90% the Jim scenes from The Office, so I could play the whole thing on loop without intro or outro or the worst parts of the last two seasons.

Then I stared in the mirror for a long time and I was like: wtf am I doing with my life? And I haven’t watched The Office since.

“Meh.”

My Gen Z cousin had zero respect for me til they PvP’d me on an old-school Street Fighter arcade machine.
