Probably kinda.

I imagine that someone who can’t draw for crap using AI to create the visual component to their stories. They may also use AI to create character “voices” who say things in their specific manner

Manga production costs drop as a writer doesn’t need as many skills to write them and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting when it comes to generating content.

Eventually one of these slop mangas becomes popular enough to get animated. Since it is animated, it becomes a lot easier to make. My guess is that the beginning looks like AI empowered rotoscoping, human actors provide the movements which become the basis of animated characters. You can even do voice modulation too, so the vocal performance gets swapped to the right voice.

These animes might be less popular, but if they are being made at a fraction of the cost of human animation.

It’s trying to handle ozempic diets.

People on ozempic have much lower appetites than normal and it is affecting their protein intake. Meal items like this are meant to appeal to those looking for a quick protein bump.

I wish Lincoln accepted that set to fight in the Civil War.

A lot of people are like that. It is just that the rich are able to do something about it.

No country wants to build a tech infrastructure that they don’t control.

This is going to be the weirdest perk for getting gold status on an airline’s frequent flyer program.

No one wants to go back to when first class was effectively the cheapest ticket price.

It won’t reduce jet fuel. It just means commercial planes can carry more cargo.

I don’t know if it is purposeful. It just seems to be a side effect of the market going all in on AI.

There are only three public universities that offer bachelor’s degrees in Iowa. Community colleges would absolutely increase the competition as community colleges could offer degrees closer to where people live.

Even during the halcyon days of CD sales in the late 90’s, there was a decent amount of filler on a lot of albums. It didn’t help that albums were the product while singles were what were advertised.

As an engineer, a lot of engineers do a lot of dumb stuff.

Part of it is that a lot of engineers don’t think through the implications of their design. Part of it is that a lot of engineers coast by on the equivalent of copying other people’s code. Part of it is that budgets for projects are so compressed that you need a high performer to get it done on budget and getting that high performer in this case isn’t always viable. Part of it is that you need someone smart enough to do the job and dumb enough to not go for a higher pay position in another field.

Alright okay?

Texas has to reduce the input of Thomas Jefferson as an Enlightenment philosopher because he was too woke as a slaveowner.

It doesn’t. I’m commenting more on supporters like you’ve read online saying the current government is great.

A lot of communists here are like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Their existing living condition is shit and they think that going to a different place will magically fix all their problems because everything just has to be better there.

There really isn’t a “profile” of a peace price recipient.

That said, awarding her the peace prize felt like when the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama; they were giving it for people being the opposite of others without any accomplishments.

Nah. I look at it more that you shouldn’t put off certain activities because you’ve got time in the future. You need to prepare for the future, but putting all effort into making the future better without enjoying the present is going to lead to a lower quality of life.

There used to be courses that acted to weed out students by being difficult and having shitty teaching as a way to weed out students who would only do the bare minimum within the structure of the class.

Being “the largest American military base in the Middle East” implies that the USA is controlling Israel when it is obviously the other way around.
