Yeah that sounds like standard Bob’s Furniture. My dad often ordered from them, and still does since he never seems to learn and low prices hijack his common sense.

I was a little confused too (plus it doesn’t help that the joke itself isn’t very clear) but I’ll boil down my own thinking:
I’m still not getting the joke but I think it’s funny enough that us commenters of commenters are questioning things and might be the only ones not experiencing the Dunning Kruger effect. Lol
Plus it’s not like it’s commercial usage, nor would you have hired artists to illustrate all your characters for a session like that. It’s one of the few ethical usages of AI, imo.
Auto correct strikes again :)
The occupation and names I think are random and usually a joke, too.

Ate the nonion, as it were.
Ah I love putting in sick ASCII art into my notes in R and other programming syntax. My advisors did not appreciate it as much as I did.
Felt a bit heavy handed in writing, but once I got to the asshole “sell a cow and buy a bull” I laughed because I’ve actually seen that idiotic meme before. Gets a pass from me!
Reminds me that AI can be used for OG Baulders Gate / Icewind Dale style character portraits. Stable Diffusion literally has a Lora for it, iirc.
That was technically my thinking too, haha. If you’re ever targeted by this (and it can be as simple as having a Google image placeholder in an unindexed page) you just need to be stubborn and spiteful. It’s not worth their time with so many other patsies, haha.
Having been sued by copyright vultures, I definitely get the difficulty with court. The minimum just to have a lawyer retainer was 2500. The vultures told us to essentially give them 2400 and the problem would go away (a strongly worded email managed to get them off my back, but mostly because they clearly used bots).
I can see it weed out small cases less than that. I guess it’d help if I knew what people were sueing over.
Seems like a good thing?
I was wondering if it was related to anything passed recently, because another service had to change privacy rules to opt in over a rule change in Cali. I just assume if it sounds like a good thing for consumers, it probably wasn’t their choice, lol, but I guess in this case it’s just a cost cutting measure.
I at least appreciate them being pretty clear about what’s different now.
I found out today a moron I went to grad school with published a successful book. He’s also an “important” person’s son, though, so it’s less of a jealous thing more of the “this world’s fucked” thing.
My PhD isn’t super useful though so yeah, throw it in the remorse file.
I had to update my LG recently and it had to get approval for all sorts of weird shit. Oddly enough, it let me continue using just about everything even after I denied all the very invasive checkboxes. I guess even they can’t deny use of your own tv if you reject the agreement lol
I needed a reference picture to give remote tech support to my octogenarian grandma. Circles were my addition.
I haven’t noticed, but I did hear you can root WebOS TVs which include LGs. I may look into it if it gets intrusive. The front page is already showing ads, after all, although not nearly as awful as my fire stick was before.
Don’t worry, those fans kind of deserve this.
Everyday angry is usually due to stupid and/or entitled people, but as a teen I experienced blind rage before and that’s a lot harder to explain. You kind of blank out and go after someone, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, truly beast mode. That was usually from bullying or dealing with my alcoholic father, though.
Now a days anger is probably closer to irritation than anything. Which is kind of a shame, I used to use anger to get things done. I once was so angry at a teacher for an unfair C in an art class that I channeled that into the most haunted self portrait I think he ever saw for the final. I ultimately got an A. Does spite count as it’s own emotion? Lol
