I just got a pair today that I ordered online and I personally just love it (This isn’t a sponsored post don’t worry ðŸ˜). I usually wear mid-rise dickies pants so it feels so interesting wearing these and this feels like yet another step in expanding my wardrobe
in earnest these were my first wide pants but i didn’t end up wearing them much initially, then for about 2 years they became one of the only 2 pants i would ever wear. very important to my history of style development. they are no longer wide enough for my tastes and i have since passed them over to a dear friend who cherishes them as i used to. i love doing that when i can
There’s been multiple reports of AI taking up lots of energy to generate things and we don’t need more energy being wasted to produce a soulless, computer generated piece of AI art (Idk how others feel about AI art but whenever I look at it I feel sick and my heart sinks because it just feels so empty) so that’s one thing. Another issue is all these horrific deepfake scandals, to an incident that happened to at least 1 girl at the high school I went to (I’m not gonna say their names or anything because they’ve already been through so much shit) to South Korea’s recent crackdown on deepfake p0rn which revealed just how rampant it was throughout the country (and I just know shit like this is happening worldwide it’s not just their country). There’s also social media manipulation, biases in AI (only 100/7,000 of this world’s languages being used in chatbot training which only contributes further to languages being endangered), the very real threat of AI to be used to create more inequality, etc. While it looks like generative AI is flopping in some areas now (thank god) I’m still very concerned about it
