Complete waste of time with no positive health benefits you say?

I’ve been doing heavy squats and deadlifts for the past 15 years and I’ve never experienced back pain. I can’t for 100% certainty credit lifting for this but I’d be amazed if it doesn’t play a factor.

EDIT: And hanging. You don’t even need to do pull-ups. Just get a bar from which you can hang daily. It decompresses your spine but also flexes your shoulders. We’re apes after all and hanging is what they do all day every day.

I still hear you implying that, in one way or another, AI content wouldn’t be as good as - or better than - human-made content. If that’s the case, I agree with you: replacing human artists with AI would be a net negative. However, my point is that when the day comes that AI content genuinely surpasses human-made work on every metric we care about, resisting it simply because it’s AI-generated doesn’t make much sense to me.

I still empathize with human artists who may no longer be able to compete, but I see that as part of human evolution - some professions inevitably become obsolete.

That said, as I mentioned, this wouldn’t prevent anyone from continuing as an artist for the joy of it. It would just make it harder to monetize their work.

I don’t know what there is to be proud about not being depressed. I’m just happy that I’m not. Should I feel shame for it now or what?

What a cynical view to live under.

AI can only replace creative industries if the content it produces is better in which case it’s a win for the people consuming that content. When it comes to creators themselves, it’ll be harder to earn a living that way but on the other hand, none of the artists I know are making it for the money and they would continue making it even if AI was better. Myself included.

However, I don’t think it’s either-or situation. AI will just come alongside human made content. There’s a ton of content creators I’d continue following no matter how good AI would get.

Not a meme

If there was nothing there also wouldn’t be anyone asking “why is there something rather than nothing”. It’s the kind of question that can only be asked in a universe that exists. Then answer to “why?” would basically be that because an unlikely even occured. It could just as well have not, but it did and now you’re here.

By Dawknin’s original definition (cultural) memes are ideas, behaviors, styles, or practices that spread within a culture by imitation (Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) and carry symbolic meaning. Some examples would be the “Keep Calm And Carry On” posters during WW2, the concept of the “American Dream” or toasting with glasses.

However in this context we’re talking about internet memes which is not synonymous with cultural memes. An internet meme is a picture or video that is funny, ironic, or relateable.

This is not a cultural meme nor internet meme.

I didn’t say “not a microblog post”

Don’t you mess our narrative with your reason

Not a meme.

Before even reading the comments I predict it’s all negative and cynical because what ever Musk does needs to be opposed.

Maybe the people here feel personally threatened because negativity is all you have to offer.

I stand behind everything I’ve ever said. I’ve been posting for years with the mindset that what OP is describing will some day be reality. I might not be correct about everything but I’ve always been honest. I look forward to that day and all the hypocrites being exposed.

Spaghetti or any other long ones. Annoying to eat.

Few times I’ve gotten to witness when someone brakes onto traffic lights and the uncleared snow from the roof slides onto their windshield and is too much for the wipers to handle.

I drive a truck myself and since the roof is a bit difficult to reach I got a brush with a telescopic handle and a rotating head that I can flip 90 degrees and use to push the snow down from the roof. Works great.

Okay, well, how is it that Americans aren’t ready to hear them not understanding something?

Microblog memes.

How is you not understanding that the fault of the Americans?

I can tell you 100 stories of telling a man to eat more so that they wouldn’t be so skinny.
