My tattoo artist just reposted this enthusiastically endorsing the messaging "what next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?"

I have no idea what platform this is from. But it's from a tattoo artist saying AI art sucks. I'm not typing all this out, someone else can alt4me or whatever.

OKAY so Moo Deng is a new baby pygmy hippo at a zoo in Thailand She looks like braised pork so the public voted to name her Moo Deng, which is a pork dish. She is perfect and every picture of her is a mood.

You reach a point where a friend dies and you say: sixty-one! that so young. When you are in your twenties and struggling that point is hard to visualize - you feel like forty more years will be too much. May all who struggle today live in the hope of knowing that sixty-one is so young, so young.
