How are we supposed to take someone seriously when they're wearing a Wesley Crusher Season 1 sweater?
One of the best of TOS.
That's because Conservatives have no argument other than pedantry when it comes to their villifying of "socialism".
"They aren't socialist, they're Democratic Socialism or Social Democrats, which are totally different from each other and not socialism at all!" (Is their pedantry, in case anyone was wondering)
It's ALL socialism, just with a few different policies at play. But that would destroy the conservative argument that you can't have a successful capital economy under socialism. So they play the "They aren't real socialists" bullshit game.
The salad that is filled with most things I hated as a kid, but became my favourite salad as an adult.
Favo kills a lot of time for me. As does 2048 and any nonogram game.
In terms of credit and monetary compensation it most certainly is.
I can’t quite wrap my head around how to relate to AI generated art.
Simple. It's not about art at all. But about "artists".
Let's use an example. Let's say that you're a rich person and you want to hire someone to paint a landscape portrait for you. You tell them in detail exactly what you want and they go and do it. Does that make you an artist? Of course not. It makes you the procurer
So if we replace that hired painter with a computer, does that mean that because no human artist was involved that the title of "artist" automatically reverts to the procurer, meaning the person that told the computer what to do? No.
Regardless of who (or what) creates the art, the person telling them/it what to paint isn't a damn artist and doesn't deserve any financial reward.
I'm not entirely convinced that this dude didn't open up the joint as purposeful satire to make money off stupid MAGA cultists.
I would. You know how tempting it is to make some idiot trump branded piece of shit product and get MAGA to eat it up? These people are literally cultists just waiting to give you their money; and if pretending to be one of them on the surface makes me rich off their stupidity...hey...it's tempting.
I'm almost sure that's what happened here.
filmmaking. I have thousands of dollars in (now ageing) gear that rarely gets used anymore because I lack the social network of contacts in my new small town to make a project happen.
I literally have no horse in this race, but I still feel sick to my stomach thinking "please don't cave in to this asshole and completely waste that many lives and years for nothing"
This is a make or break moment when Europe has to tell America to fuck off or it'll be absolutely heartbreaking.
Because if no actual artist was involved in its creation, I'm not giving money to a corporate suit who pushed a few buttons on a computer.
It kind of saddens me that none of my friends in the physical world are technical enough to even understand what all of this means when I try to explain it to them. They just can't grasp the importance of privacy. It's super frustrating that the only people who understand what I'm talking about when I talk about the importance of privacy are people who already think the same way.
