Looting API keys makes way more sense. They must have been stuck using GPT2 to write that incoherent statement.

If you want to make a pie from scratch…

I’m sure there’s plenty of people that make their living (or maybe barely scrape by) off digital art that are affected by this so I can understand some touchiness. I mean why pay $100 for an account avatar or other small commissions when you can generate it yourself in one second. But also, why pay a scribe to copy an entire book by hand when a printing press does it faster? The only difference in these statements is that hand scribe wasn’t a widespread profession 5 years ago.

To me an artist is someone who uses tools to realize their vision. As technology progresses so do the tools. ComfyUI is leagues better of a tool than something like DallE will ever be, but no the entirety of “AI Generated Art” is a ~sin~ and must be attacked. Oh, not the corporate zeitgeist heisters, but instead the users of the community driven software.

I really don’t understand this. All these search engine companies give millions of users a single button to create the most soulless art you’ve ever seen, but instead of caring about that they attack the tool that most enables the user to have control over their generation. You can argue that unlimited competition is bad for commission artists, but this attack is not “Pro Art”.

Using creative cloud isn’t a sin, but helping maintain Adobes industry stranglehold should be.

I’m so happy my 4000 miles last year cost me upfront half of what they pay gradually over a year. And yet the roads are still mediocre.

In many different areas. This is the per year registration fees in Ohio. These fees are meant to compensate for road damage, which is calculated based on vehicle weight. Except Ohio just said “well batteries are heavy, charge them.”

A lifted diesel super duty getting 12mpg will run you 0 dollars and 0 cents whereas even a plug in hybrid runs 150$ per year. Completely independent from the weight of the vehicle.

Biden can do what he wants but conservative states will constantly delay the transition to EVs, slowing adoption, infrastructure and the publics willingness at every opportunity.

Things have taken a turn since the greenzo days…

I missed most of it. I was busy in Kvatch all day. It’s a shame, I really could have used that speedwalking class

Source film maker. Kind of like Garry’s mod but specifically for making videos.

People hate on apple coming out with features later than other companies but then they usually blow the competition out of the water in terms of ux. It’s not marketing them better, it’s implementing better.

It’s like valve helping develop proton vs making another nvidia shield or windows handheld.

I forget where I read it but I think they’re pushing a republican rider with it to “outlaw foreign election money” or something. Which is funny since the biggest election interference I’ve seen was a “newspaper” I got last year, filled with disinfo and sent from Illinois. Probably from the Illinois republican billionaire that spent a boat load of money fighting weed/abortion in a state he doesn’t have any business being in.
