2·2 days agoI think there’s a lot of grunt work artists than you might be aware of. My last job was at a video game studio and it was kinda eyeopening the amount of generic story boarding / art work they would send over to Eastern Europe / Asia to be done for cheap.
The visible side of the industry (what you’re talking about) yeah I agree, but AI is slowly going to pick away at the lower skill levels until only experts are really useful. How does a junior become an expert in that world?
how will it change the average person’s life in 1 - 3 years?
To be blunt, it’ll probably make them worry about losing their job. AI can’t do everything and it does a lot of stuff pretty shitty, but so do a lot of people.
Tech workers, artists and other industries have long had to compete with work being sent overseas. Now it’s even cheaper and faster.
A lot will fail yes, but I think there’s actually a lot of value in AI and many will succeed. Blockchain has always been a solution in search of a problem, but AI actually can help in a lot of ways.
Left from Ushuaia down to Deception Island and further south to near Brown Station. Went on an old Russian science ship being run by Quark.
Penguins have a special anus able to withstand higher pressures, so they can poop away from the nest. There’s so many penguins in close proximity though they’re all just covered in poop. They live off krill so it’s pretty stinky.
I was lucky enough to go, it’s amazing, totally recommend.
The penguins smell bad but they’re still pretty cute.
This is actually a piece of data I’ve been wanting to pull too, but it’ll probably take me a few days to get to it.
In the meantime, I’ll just let this url out: https://data.fedecan.ca/images/

I’ve been enjoying all their SciFi: silo, severance, for all mankind, foundation.
The Boys is decent. Otherwise not really.
I only really think of Apple as being able to consistently make good shows.
Unfortunately I don’t think historical posts are pulled in, just things that have happened since our server started watching their server. If you follow them you’ll see any future things they make (as will other users on our server).
I found https://www.whitebird.ca/ on google which seems to be a decent alternative
I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.
They’re pretty common in nicer datacenter environments. Newer cat6a is only 28awg (tiny and easy to work with!) and can do 10gb just fine.
For example:
Boots suck. Good connectors just have the tab be more of an inverted V shape, so it doesn’t catch but you don’t need to squish a hard plastic boot to remove it.

Isolated places like Point Roberts would be screwed, and the rest of the US would feel it too.
The Ontario government sponsored Fox News host Sean Hannity’s prime-time interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, part of the multimillion-dollar advertising campaign the province is rolling out as the U.S. President repeatedly threatens to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.
While the campaign is expected to cost tens of millions of dollars, the province is refusing to say exactly how much money is being spent on the ads, including the one for Hannity, one of the highest-rated U.S. cable news shows. Fox also did not respond to requests for comment about the cost and frequency of the ads.
The sponsorship ad aired during Tuesday night’s Hannity, before Mr. Hannity’s pre-recorded interview with Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk, the tech entrepreneur and Tesla CEO who leads the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative in the Trump administration.
“This program is brought to you by Ontario, Canada, your trusted economic partner,” the ad said, accompanied by an “Ontario Canada” logo with a maple leaf. It was followed by an Ontario government commercial that showcases the strong economic ties between the two countries.
I A spokesperson for Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford’s re-election campaign said the sponsorship is part of the province’s original deal with Fox and that no new money is being spent during the campaign, which will see Ontarians go to the polls on Feb. 27.
As part of our U.S.-based marketing campaign that’s raising awareness about Ontario’s importance to America’s economic success, Fox offered the province the opportunity to sponsor programming,” Grace Lee said in an e-mail.
“This was included as part of an overall ad buy that was finalized weeks ago. With President Trump threatening tariffs that would devastate Ontario’s economy, we will do whatever it takes to stand up for Canadians, including by taking our message to U.S. airwaves and the shows we know Republicans and President Trump watch.”

Yeah right now it only supports mastodon for any sort of shared login. Lemmy doesn’t have the backend support to do this yet.
