  • In no particular order and with limited time thinking about it:

    • Kirby Super Star
    • Mario Sunshine
    • Sonic Adventure (1 & 2 if I may)
    • Guitar Hero
    • Zelda: Link to the Past

    My first console was a NES I inherited, but the first console gotten for me was a SNES, and the first console I received new in box was a GameCube. PS2 underrepresented in this list although Guitar Hero was on there and that game was wildly important for getting me more interested in music in general.

  • It'd be really funny if they made this a regular thing to own the president haha and like they should do it everywhere across the country just to really hammer it in maybe they can buy specific free taco lots where they sell tacos and then put taco themed buildings up where you can stay overnight to support not liking the other guy gosh that would be hilarious

  • It's a glorious shit post. Half the comments will be support, half will be criticism, and the rest will be your sentiment. There is no way to tell who is being ironic on any side.

  • The issue as I see it is that college is a barometer for success in life, which for the sake of brevity I'll just say means economic success. It's not just a place of learning, it's the barrier to entry - and any metric that becomes a goal is prone to corruption.

    A student won't necessarily think of using AI as cheating themselves out of an education because we don't teach the value of education except as a tool for economic success.

    If the tool is education, the barrier to success is college, and the actual goal is to be economically successful, why wouldn't a student start using a tool that breaks open that barrier with as little effort as possible?

  • When I consider this issue, the analogy looks more like someone has invented a robot to do contractor work. Of course it's true that it will put many human contractors out of work.

    But no, I don't think using the robot is malicious - it is, after all, hugely convenient. I would love to have access to those kinds of skills without all the trial, effort, and investment it would take for me to pick them up myself.

    I could even rationalize it by thinking, why shouldn't I? Pandora's box has been opened and my participation won't make a difference by this point. I may even be right.

    I don't have a whole lot of use for art in May day to day, so it doesn't cost me much to decide not to use AI for it. When I think of all the atrocities in the world taking place to enable me to live a comfortable North American life up to this point, I find I can live without this one.

    I guess I'm trying to make the point that I don't want to guilt anyone for using AI for this or anything, but I encourage everyone to truly understand the consequences of the technology we're using and do some self-reflection. Do you have space in your moral convictions for this? Does this cross any of my values? If you can stomach it, go crazy, but do so without blinders.

  • There are literally millions of pieces of art everywhere that are free or basically free to view and in many cases use for whatever your heart desires. This is about not getting exactly the piece of art you want to see created and as it turns out there is another alternative open to those without the money to pay artists.
