Not a phone in sight, just living in the moment.

What i3 users think they look like.

All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead…
I guess I'm rewatching Grandma's Boy again today.
Adios, turd nuggets!
My beef strong!

this is my preference thanks.
That's AI, isn't it?
I would assume so considering the guy only has one foot and the keyboard keys are just some vaguely square gibberish
i believe so, but a man can dream
Unfortunately you have committed the mortal sin of enjoying the tainted work of the Thinking Machines and must now be burned at the stake, sorry
Nah, the sin is posting it without a trigger warning.
Indeed, brother. It is heresy of the highest order.
All praise the omnissiah.
Yes, but look what joy its bringing people. If that identical image had been made by a human, we'd praise its creativity and composition.
AI has many problems, the way it is used is often evil. But I think it's not too unfathomable to say that it should not be condemned in 100% of all cases. An image like that one could be generated on my own computer, for less power than it takes to play a video game for 5 minutes. The image is clearly unique enough so as not to be stealing from an established artist or doing harm to them. And the result is that it brings inspiration and joy to many people.
Like I said, I know AI is doing a lot of harm to the world right now, but it also has a lot of potential to be used in a positive way. If we condemn it even in positive cases, all we do is equalize positive outcomes and negative ones, creating no room for eventual improvement. We ostracize the people who might use AI in pro-social ways, eventually leading to a dynamic where the only AI users are people who don't care about it's social impact. If that happens, we will have wasted our opportunity to get something good out of the technology by allowing it to be used only by careless people.
I hope anyone reading this will at least consider the idea I'm putting forth and not see me as some "AI bro" or villain. It is wise and healthy not to see the world in black and white even when we find comfort in doing so.
"Nothing on my end, thank you"
I exhaled through my nose.
How tf do you get in and out of that contraption? Or maybe you just... Don't.
Could be interesting to watch when the fire alarm goes off.
"I think I'll die comfortable."
It doesn't have a built-in toilet, so I think you eventually have to get up.
If you're going to the bathroom, you're not playing battlefield. If you're shitting in a bucket you're playing battlefield
Who needs VR headsets when you can just cover your whole body in screens?
News@11: a 32 year old man died today after rescuers where unable to free him from the collapse of his advanced home office monitor configuration. His last words were: delete my browser history, I can't reach my mouse...
Tch, didn't even have a deadman switch, amateur.
So, I've been crippled for a while, and have the poor mans version of this:
[] (==) ||
[] Wall
(==) Bed
|| Computer Desk
Got a bunch of surgery recovery pillows to prop me into an inclined position, Computer Desk just has a TV on it, got a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and i have a folded up sheet with an ergo mouse pad.
... most people can probably pull something like this off, with a $50 - $100 set of differently arangeable surgery pillows, and I guess a wireless (i suggest 2.4 ghz) mouse and keyboard.
Resolution on the TV ain't great, but I've only got a Steam Deck, so.... beyond 1920 x 1080 is generally a bad idea anyway.
Do you have one of those bedside hospital tables? They're super convenient.

Ah yes, the goonopticon
Say what you will but VR headsets have become much smaller since this photo was taken.
Knowing how insanely heavy my 49" screen is, I'd not be able to lie down comfortably like that. They're screwed if that monitor arm decides enough is enough.
probably room for one or two more

It's called Altwork
They want US$7,000 for a chair and some monitor support arms? I want to try one, but not that much.
The only problem I see here is a severe lack of cable management. That shit is borderline offensive to me, lmao
When he was 22 years old my niece's grandpa used to have one of these for watching vintage porn. 47 years later and now all he does is sneak boogers in my pocket and call it Mac and Cheese.
LCD tanning booth?
WANT!
New anxiety: monitor falls onto your face.
câble management could for sure be improved
Putting an awful lot of trust in those joints…
That sucker falls, you may well get cut in half..
Internet is for porn
How did you get this photo of me in my masturbatorium?!
I wish my dentist's chair was like this
hmmm
For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
