Still, if anything it's given Charlotte (the interviewer) a different angle to probably very many samey interviews with Theroux, so you'd be happy about that at least.
I also get that Theroux is in the weird position of himself being an interviewer and also probably having to do so many of these that he's exhausted with it. But still, that's never the fault of the person in front of you and... it's the job, suck it up.
Very interesting interview for different reasons depending on your perspective. For people who've interviewed other people a lot it's the kind of interview where the interviewee (Theroux) is prickly at best, hostile at worst. Felt sorry for the interviewer.

The response to the prompt, a basic drawing (from a human) of a capybara in water with a little heart above him

A screenshot of youraislopbores.me wherein I requested the "AI" (it's a person) to draw someone tasting the rainbow. The resulting image is a stick figure lying on its back with its mouth open and distended while squiggly rainbow lines pour in from a cloud above.

Why are you writing this into my timeline personally
That was the joke, yeah.

If it helps at all, we've (north of England) had a typical start to March in that it was all SPRING IS HERE and then this morning it snowed, so March remains the greatest liar and betrayer of any month.
Hahaha can't disagree in some ways yet Pussy Palace remains a banger
urgh too late in the week to argue with stupid - goodbye.
oop, 'labour intensive service industries' is it? So you actually mean healthcare, construction, hospitality etc and in a sense you're right, but right in the sense that pretty much all workers are exploited rather than honing in on a very specific group of people AND I WONDER WHY THAT IS
Even the sources that try to skew data to fit that comparison (like below) end up veering into nonsense. How can you compare energy use of one hour of streaming to 'a few questions' to an LLM. We're not bolting an hour of streaming into every net search for starters

The researchers were clear that adoption of AI and the accelerated server technologies that power it has been the primary force causing electricity demand from data centers to skyrocket after remaining stagnant for over a decade. Between 2024 and 2028, the share of US electricity going to data centers may triple, from its current 4.4% to 12%.
I hate this comparison, it's apples and oranges.
