I thought this was a follow up to :

so I had a great laugh at it.

Add environmental and societal impact. Nature and people suffer physically from it. People can’t get jobs. People who have created IP get pushed out by government-supported IP theft.

I’m pretty sure this fits under

On the other hand you have assholes using said artwork machine as an excuse to fire everyone, ruin the environment even faster, and overthrow political systems.

OK, but when someone has looked at enough art to form an idea of the techniques they want to employ but for some reason, lacks the practical capability or chooses to create it through prose through the machine, how is it any different?

Or, collages are art (I assume). The artists gather existing images, choose/curate the correct ones, assemble them, and end up with their artwork. Why is it any different when someone chooses a catalog of LoRAs to create the images they want to? Do they have to dig through a bunch of shitty magazines?

Different art before the pedal. Unless you never learned, and just always knew how to do the thing?

knowing different concepts, and thinking about how they would be when they joined before having the material possession.

then that happened way before I bought the pedal itself. But if I didn’t buy the pedal I couldn’t express it the same way.

The anti-ai stuff has no philosophical sense behind it; it’s just vibes. But then again, people are just churning out slop. No one fucking wins or makes sense.

The art is the change that happens in a human in the creative process. AI just can’t experience that.

When I make a piece of music, and the way I express the distortion of time I feel through the turning of the time knob on my guitar pedal, when is the art being produced and by what? I’m pretty sure there’s some expression that is happening by me because I feel something, and I don’t think my guitar pedal is doing any feeling; however, I cannot express myself the same way without the guitar pedal.

The human being is the person piloting the AI. No one is expecting the AI (or any other tool used in self expression, like a paintbrush) to feel anything.

When you run the AI software, it doesn’t DO anything until you make it do something.

Are the anti AI people thinking that the works are generated by pressing a big green “GO” button, or that the AI is some kind of deformed , soulless human being?

I’m a fiddler on a roof.

EDIT : You need a shitload more hands to play some of the riffs Behold the arctopus come up with

That just elevates the ICP

That’s because marijuana affects memory.

I lurked most of the time, especially when the captcha system got out of hand.

Mu, co, tv, r9k, trv, TG, v, fit, ck also, po & toy when I wanted something I wasn’t interested in doing but wanted to see something other people liked. Also the porn boards.

I visited pol to see news, but didn’t agree with the opinions there.

The site has a bad reputation due to b and pol. The other boards have a lot of interesting new culture stuff and honest opinions that are pragmatic and nihilist.

Unfortunately lots of astroturfing also happened there.

I also hung out in 420chan and britchan. Those were a lot slower, and RIP. It’s just a nice format for a board.

Tropic thunder.

I was about to buy ram last year. I wasted time trying to get thermal pillows that I’m not even fucking using.

THANKS SMART BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL MATURITY.

Fuck you

No can do. It’s for someone who I owe big to, and the company that created the software has gone out of business.

Unless you have a position open for a full stack dev/SDET.

I took over a project recently. I asked for updating instructions… as in “once I make changes, how do I push to prod?”

They gave me instructions on how to update angular and dotnet packages.

Mother FUCKERS.

I spent time digging around the code, setting up my dev env, and then I noticed dev and prod had a slight difference.

“yeah, we gave you the wrong branch”

Fuck.

I had to dig around and find out how they started the docker on prod and then I could replace the .dll and restart the container. It was not fun.

I’m doing thousands of calculations per second and they’re all wrong

I bought a laptop when I migrated. EIGHT FUCKING YEARS AGO.

The toys are fighting for their lives; if they get abandoned they die. Woody doesn’t want to be replaced by buzz , because then he will die.

I tried to find the Jamaican national anthem’s dub cover.

Nothing but slop everywhere, or songs with that title and different lyrics.
