Is this some fucking thing where there’s 0 holes and the topologists can be all smug about their fun little logic puzzle?

Why do people feel the need to touch complete strangers? Just bow.

The uneducated masses still don’t like AI slop. They are fatigued by it.

It still gets bought because a lot of people haven’t learned to identify it but if you told them it’s slop they’d probably change their minds. Yeah, they’re not going to spend hours researching birthday cards, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have AI fatigue.

It already has.

The general public’s opinion has never mattered.

It’s wild horse meat, right? The government rounds up wild horses and then they just ~disappear~

A first edition has no value to me. The value comes from the words on the page, not the paper it’s printed on. I could see value in a book that was hand transcribed or something, but the fact that it was the first book out of a printing press is worthless.

I should say being signed is important, but that’s not really a rarity issue. That’s now a unique historical artifact because it was interacted with by a specific person. That’s basically the same as a bible having historical value because of who owned it.

It’s not like we’re printing books from old school printers where they had to assemble the letters by hand on a printing plate for each page, or they need scribes to hand transcribe books with a quill. It’s all computer. There’s no reason for any book to be rare.

The text is what makes it valuable though? I guess there’s some value in, like, the actual literal physical copy too, but that has nothing to do with rarity. A bible can have historical value because of who owned it, but that’d be strange to describe as “rare” I think.

But the actual words in the book can be easily recorded and don’t actually require printing.

I don’t understand the concept of a “rare” book. Every book should be infinitely reproducible, the fact that they aren’t is a crime.

I’ve heard this, but, my estradiol is a blue pill? 🤔

Robots aren’t like software, it’s immediately obvious when they don’t work the way they’re advertised whereas chatbots can trick people into thinking they’re way more useful than they actually are. The “fake it till you make it” “move fast and break things” ethos of tech doesn’t work when there’s actual, physical evidence that shit’s busted.
