One organization called the Coalition to Modify NOTA hopes to legalize compensation and then pass a federal law it has titled the End Kidney Deaths Act. As it’s written, it would award living donors $50,000 over five years — $10,000 per year — through refundable tax credits.

So in the US there are tax credits (work the way you said) and also refundable tax credits. Refundable tax credits will end up paying you money if you don't owe anything.

I literally did the same just the other day

I second balatro

Can't even attempt to engage with sources. Just looks up the domain on his favorite media bias analyzer site and decides if it's an approved source or not.

Yeah sorry wasn't really trying to engage on that point about biocomputers, just put it there to make sure we are on the same page on soul. Just always has an otherworldly connotation in my head that feels the need to distinguish humans as somehow separate from the rest of the world. I didn't really take it that way from your post, but I hate the word soul and I'm just really pedantic idk.

You bring up a good point about the distinction between art and beauty. I think I really like the way you frame that. Something I'll definitely have to ponder about.

Idk I feel like there's piece of the puzzle missing here. I think art can be found anywhere where someone wants to find it, if that makes any sense. In nature, in random odd places, the universe itself. Im just not sure if a "soul" (ignoring the fact that souls aren't real and humans are just biocomputers) is really necessary for art to be real.

It implies a level of intent that I don't think the perceiver has to be cognizant of in order to appreciate a work of art. The implication here seems that unless an artist's intent is fully understood by the audience that we can't really fully appreciate it as art.

Also while people generating prompts isn't art in itself, I feel like it kind of begins prying away at this notion of there being no human behind the creation in the first place.

I think the most straightforward example is something like the work of a collage artist. There is already this practice of grabbing many different things from different places, other art, pictures, objects, whatever, and it's the specific combination of these things which gives it this special kind of "intent".

I of course agree with all of your other points about the way AI generated art impacts society.

I feel like it's only possible to come across as heavy handed if the satire is objectively less subtle than reality. In a world where climate science has shown us our future for decades now and people continue to bury their head in the sand, it's really just documentary about what would genuinely happen if a large scale disaster were to occur. I wouldn't say it's a particularly clever metaphor, but I think you can't satirize climate change denial hard enough at this point.

That's a good idea for a feature

Yeah Rubens are great

Holy shit you're right

Yeah they clearly have no argument. What an annoying little fucker

Anime is literally just Japanese cartoons. Comes in all varieties. Just demonstrates the speakers ignorance. Lots of them in this comment section

You're being downvoted because your question makes no sense. Both NYC and New York State are mentioned, so what are you even asking for clarification on?

The rules are all made up. It's a conservative court so we'll see conservative victories more often than not.

Tf? Don't spread ideas ever then at all. Might as well stop writing comments now, it's not going to change anything

Talked to a Pete buttigieg supporter yesterday and he said he wishes Biden would send troops into Ukraine

Deeply unserious

Honestly a hilarious bit

Yeah 100% balloons are the best way comrades.
