If you haven't seen this yet, watch.

It's an AI vid of the "grand opening" of the hideously gilded, wildly overpriced, Let Them Eat Cake future Trump Ballroom.

I was not going to watch it because my initial assumption was that it was one of those tacky "trump is a god" things. But I saw your comment that you thought we would enjoy it so gave it a chance. It is excellent; thanks for sharing.

2/ This is another thing that keeps me off Masto. I shared a vid for its content not intending to trigger about AI

I don't use AI, don't like it, think it's harmful on many levels. I watched 1 vid, thought you'd like it

Don't watch if you don't want to

I shared bc Emptywheel rec'd it, so I watched

I'm not here to debate AI, just thought you'd find the vid interesting. Those who watched agree

Those who won't, fine!

Debate amongst yourselves, I'm muting the thread

Have a good day👋🏼

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social I usually just can’t watch videos with the orange guy or AI, but since you posted it, I watched it, and OMG WOW! 👌😆

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social I am so appalled, and even a bit surprised, that David Brooks thinks a White House ballroom is a good idea

Laffy,

I’ve just finished watching this. It’s really on point. I don’t think it’s possible to overrate this. It’s not only an accurate, sobering picture of our here and now it’s also frighteningly prescient.

It’s a must-watch.

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social The video was worth watching. I avoid most videos on social media but since you posted it, I watched.

This is why some smart people I know left Mastodon after 10 minutes of trying it out. People made this place not fun to be here. Why be on social media if it doesn't provide some enjoyment?

3/ To be clear, you were all civil and wonderful.

I just am in no mood for endless threads on debating how awful AI is after trying to share something I thought would be good.

Thanks for your input. It's my mood.

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social If you can bear it, watch this week's 10 min segment of Friday's PBS Newshour where Brooks and Capeheart give usually well informed opinions from the liberal and conservative viewpoints.

The ballroom talk is around 8 min in. It just doesn't sit well with me, explicitly because it is Trump doing it, doing it to disgusting excess and because it clearly means he thinks of the "People's House" as his personal permanent home

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social @paulc@mstdn.social You posted a genAI vid that you didn't even create, and still got dogpiled! Ridiculous.

Please don't be discouraged, Laffy. The number of people who appreciate your work vastly outnumber the Reply Guys. 👊

Taking this piece off into an endless discussion about the evils of AI is as ridiculous as people reading cartoons literally, feeling the need to show off one's intellectual prowess on physics by pointing out the Road Runner can't stand in midair while the coyote falls off the cliff. Get...A...Life...

@Darkphoenix@universeodon.com

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social all those sk-nks fawning all over him. So disgusting.

@Wileymiller@mastodon.social @GottaLaff@mstdn.social but the road runner can stand in mid air and the coyote falls off the cliff. I have seen it many times. And the fun part is that the coyote keeps trying.
