Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[RealAlHazred]

Yesterday

A.- What a tragedy, the song that was made to vent rage on digital piracy can only be heard if you pirate it. Gonna share a mini rant on the internet about the irony and how corporate greed is its own worst enemy.
B.- Do you like yo hear yourself talking? Is this a crude excuse to justify piracy? Did you ever bother to check that it is truly of circulation? Look, here it is in Spotify, the song and the full album.
A.- Really? <checks phone> Nah, nah nah nah, naaah, nahh naaah!...
B.- Weren't you going to do something?
A.-Shh...
B.- But your rant about the futility of corporate greed.
A.- Who cares about that? <keeps singing>

I was B in this exchange. As for A, that was also me.

I didn't realize Spotify was pirating songs! Somebody should report the songs and alert the music labels!

Nothing so annoying and leading other people astray. Sure you can use the glaive and greataxe one handed if you have one hand free.

What?!

Sounds like something Google would spit out with its "AI Overview."

As always, jargon prevents rather than helps communication.

I WILL CRUSH MY PINEAPPLES, HAVE THEM DRIZZLED ON PIZZA, AND HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE WHINERS!

Article: what it means if you walk with your hands clasped behind you.

Them: You are introspective a deep thinker, seeing clearly the challenges before you, a view unobstructed. A philosopher king.

Me: I traumatize my body daily, I stretch my shoulders and chest constantly.

Them: Or that.

Hot take: Mimics should be as accurate in their duplications as AI art is. The less complicated the thing it's trying to imitate is, the better a job the mimic does, but things get weird very quickly as the complexity goes up.

Dopplegangers face the same issues, but they're smart enough to know how to conceal the parts they had a hard time with.

Huh. I never noticed that. He definitely doesn't get roasted for doing that the way Liefeld does. Of course, unlike Liefeld, Frazetta understood anatomy much better generally (some body parts more than others, of course).

I sometimes begin circling a feeling of existential dread.

If I consider if we could be a simulation, or considering the fact so much of our current (diseased) society is digital only, or was stored on some server, or drives, or tapes, that can just be lost, deleted, corrupted, or turned off.

At which point our AI overlords can declare 'It was never like that, it was this instead.' and the hallucination (or worse) is accepted as fact.
