From where I’m from plastic was kind of luxury until 90’s and that’s one of very few things from that country that would be great to bring back.
Inatead of cellophane bags there were netting bags or paper ones, bottles were all glass that got collected, sent back to factories to be washed and refillled. If one got their hands on plastic bag or bottle, probably somehow smuggled from the West - it was a goddamn status symbol from then on, and you don’t throw your status symbol away. 🌝
I’m not as anti-AI as some folks on here tho, especially since LM-Studio is a thing with assortment of models to run locally. Probably would have few psychotic breaks by now from loads of paperwork I have all the time if not for these models.
But I draw the line at creative work. If half of the workflow is vibe-something - then it loses the creative part. Not to mention that with 3D modelling specifically (what interests me personally) it’s just an illusion of going faster - one will just waste a lot of time fixing and remeshing mess that AI gave out.
So it’s been few times actually with different tutorials - but mostly 3D modelling and CAD as it’s what interests me personally.
But to be honest - what prompted me to make this meme was actually a sponsored segment for generative AI service in a otherwise non-AI video.
I would argue that both liberalism and leftism are spectrums and parts of them overlap, so it’s not like one ≠ other. After all, any participation in democratic process means going reforms and regulations way, even if the endpoint is abolishing capitalism, which would be a logical goal for democratic socialism, for example.
Some photos of him have really awkwardly positioned computers - like no way anyone works like that. Hence why some choose to believe him to be a complete luddite.
Yup. And yeah - it’s not like USSR didn’t have plastic - it simply wasn’t used for bags and bottles.
