  Why is this is n shitpost? Go crosspost this to /comics or /memes or whatever, it’s great.

  So I guess past experience, basically? We’ll see. Political violence is not justifiable, but no one really likes that orange prick except his little goon army so we’ll see how long the sympathy lasts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have become all things to all men⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t necessarily see any proof of this, either. I’m not sure where this narrative is coming from, it’s very strange.

  It’s really not.

  Maybe someday you’ll do some research into the history of art and music and get some context into how technology has influenced both and the repeating patterns of the reactionary art that tends to get produced by artists you’ve never heard of when that happens.

  Or maybe you won’t!

  Either way, good luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'LLM-free' is the new '100% organic' - Creators Are Fighting AI Anxiety With an ‘LLM-Free’ Movement⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, well you are picking apart the examples instead of taking in the point. Well, I tried.

  To answer your question, yes. Automatic1111 and ComfyUI are two of the most popular.

  Well now that’s just close minded!

  Go back and read discussions about synthesisers when they first arrived on the scene and you will see much wailing and gnashing of teeth about how synths are not real instruments and etc and so on. Then do the same thing when hip-hop goes mainstream and people say it’s not “real” music because the musicians don’t perform with “real” instruments.

  You see where I’m going with this? There’s lots of examples like these in music and visual arts and they nearly always stem from ignorance.

  I don’t know anything about AI music generation, but visual art can be generated by AI models on local machines with a great amount of depth. Further, people fees their handmade work into the AI and manipulate that, so this idea that folks just write a sentence and the computer barfs out an image is uninformed.

  Anyways, I’m blabbing. Hope that helps.

  As a “creator” myself, I’d like to say to my fellow artists who are anit-AI, get over it peeps. AI artists are artists too. AI art can be bad ass as hell and if you have an open mind, you might even find some space for it in your work. But even if you don’t, have some respect for the AI artists out there who put time and effort into their craft. There’s room for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The problem with GIMP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand. You are absolutely correct that, in the right context, pretty much any word can be offensive or insulting to someone. So I consider it my responsibility, once I am aware of this context, to try to be inclusive because I like to have as diverse a group of people around me as possible, it builds strength.

  So if “Krita” ended up being derogatory to Russians or Egyptians or whatever, and I was working with kids, I would absolutely be cautious about that, yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The problem with GIMP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, just because you don’t care doesn’t mean nobody does.

  If I was running a school where students with physical challenges attended, I would not feel comfortable asking them to use software called Gimp, so I would just avoid it.

  That said, I would avoid it anyways in favor of Krita, I’m just saying.

  I came here for an upset registered nurse.

  I’m leaving disappointed.

  I thought you were being racist until you said that thing about public transit, so we’re good 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try to remember that Reddit spent years using algorithms and dark patterns specifically designed to addict you and create deeply ingrained behaviors ased around their feed to create the exact situation you are dealing with now.

  I struggle with the same thing, I want off Reddit but have been visiting daily since 2011 so it’s not easy. Don’t be too hard on yourself and keep weaning yourself off the habit. It may take some time but you can do it. This was done to you, and it’s pretty damn insidious, but it’s not a severe gambling addiction or crack cocaine ultimatelt so it’s low stakes. You’ll get there and good for you for trying.

  It’s more of an AI joke than a big tiddy meme, though. How many Boomers know what tf ‘inpaint’ means?

  Hey guys, I think I may be dyslexic. I’m really proud of myself for making it this far in life without really noticing before or my disability causing any outstanding issues.

  Is it possible the stock photographer was referencing this film?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to online computer games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to go against the grain a little here and say you may have just grown out of it. A lot of kids have access to Chromebooks through their schools (at least in the States) and you better believe they know exactly where all the online games are.

  Try logging in on a more loosely federated server and talk shit about tankies or Xi. You’ll get your fill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Totally not a ad company!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The term ‘newshole’ was used by newspaper publishers to describe the amount of space left to print news after the ads were all laid out. The ad placements were planned out first, then news articles were literally edited to fit around them.

  It’s advertisers you should be blaming, not “political correctness.”

  Advertisers ruin everything they get their nasty little hands on.
