One way or another, you're leaving McDonalds with brain damage

I actually learned of this because I bought Shrek glasses at a thrift store and posted them online and someone warned me - luckily mine were from a different year and not this recall

hmm, good to know. i've had two work macbooks over the past 15 yrs, from different companies, and both of them have all these other fonts.

Why are they included as defaults? Shouldn't there be regional defaults? At this point, the majority of fonts in my drop-down list are non-English fonts, which makes it difficult to search for the fonts I want.

Don't worry... there has to be a person operating/optimizing/continuously developing the ai
People shouldn't fear ai. It's just a new kind of tool. The right tool for the job. AI expertise is a resume item now like Photoshop or CAD. And there's a rich ecosystem because many competitors are creating unique models - Midjourney, crAIyon just being the first of many for eg graphic design. People fear the change of new technologies, like weaving looms caused a huge upset, but if you position yourself for the direction of the field you'll do well. Find the school program with the most specialty in integrated interior design and cutting edge software.
Source: I work in a tech niche that had an AI upset/gamechanger a year ago. People freaked at first but now it's just a (very helpful due to SPEED) step integrated into the existing product development pathway and everyone is finding it feasible to make their own version of the initial proprietary model. Some people code the AI but many more apply it. And I've heard from building architects that there's always a lot of money in interior design

Lol, I got mine at goodwill and drink out of them every day! I do hand wash them and I don't scrub the paint.
Not the recalled ones, a different year of Shrek
