I think it’s funny you talk about revenge porn like it’s just so tiresome and tedious to think about.

“Oh, a hurricane struck Florida again.”
“Oh, there’s revenge porn of my neighbor’s daughter again.”
“What a terrible saturday.”
“Anyway, I think my toast is done.”

Imaginary grenades.

Having porn made of you is imaginary?

At some point the “it’s just a game” also stops holding water…

The video game doesn’t produce anything.

AI is not the cause for generating deep fakes,

DUIs can be reduced with public transportation. What do you propose reduces… porn fakes?

Ain’t it interesting how coming up with a consistent framework, makes it applicable to different areas of life?

Fucking lol.

My problem with machine learning porn is that it’s artless generic template spam clogging up my feed of shit I actually want to see. But you know, to each their own.

Exactly! I’m always complaining about the illiterate. I like to write them letters because I know it makes them sad.

I will let myself bleed out in a Safeway parking lot before installing McDonald’s stupid fucking app to get a 1.99 boiling hot coffee to cauterize the wound with.

How do you feel about negotiating the price of a new car down?

Personally, I think it’s really cool that people without social skills are charged more. It’s like “take that! ya fuckin loser.”

I read the first bullet point and immediately had a prophetic, future-sight vision of the comments before even scrolling down. I’m so sorry, man, haha.

I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO,

And you let them? What kind of limp-dick shit is this.

Well… yes, but I assume that this specifically was sabotage. Like how Intel products have been throttling amd cpu performance for years.

What the fuck is this self-important bullshit.

Dude, if you want to kill her, fine, whatever, but we’re putting your ass in prison.

its a 45 minute walk to the nearest train station,

Yeah, this is a really, really, really big problem with designing society for cars. Tons of people live in suburbia, with no mixed zoning, where they’re a 2 hour walk from their nearest church, a 4 hour walk if they want a coffee; and so like you say, driving becomes their only option. It’s the only thing they can do, realistically. And if they ever lose their car somehow, uh, say hello to poverty. Good luck getting a job at that coffee shop 4 hours away.

In situations where someone who lives very far from a city is visiting someone else very far, cars probably still make some sense. In the OP picture example, though, that is a prime candidate for transit refactoring. The presence of cars there is actually hurting them.

When it contains their soul, I already said this.

Actually, I really like the director analogy.

Yes, it’s very quaint.

Does the director take credit for their actor’s acting, though? Usually, the actors win the award for best acting.

There’s a line between a cup and an ocean. I don’t see what that has to do with anything.

I’m claiming that it’s possible for an artist to use ai in the production of real art.

As an artist can use a guitar instead of their own mouth. But can an artist’s art be the guitar playing itself… hm. A book in a library is art. But can choosing a book from a library be art? Ah, but what if it takes a long time. Wow, philosophy is interesting.

The argument here hinges on the definitions of inherently vague words. “Hm, you say a chair must have at least three legs and a seat, but this rock is a place people sit. Hm, what if the rock was sculpted, does it count then? Yes, yes, I am very smart”—This is boring and I don’t care.

If the script for your movie wasn’t written by people, then I don’t care about it. It’s trash. It’s garbage. I would rather watch one made by people who care. I want people to talk to me with their art. When an AI becomes sentient enough to intend to make something meaningful, then we can revisit.

Oh right, but you mean the technical caveat for the use of AI tools.

Joel Haver uses an AI filter to do his rotoscoping. I like Joel Haver just fine.

The mere presence of an AI filter in his work is not what I consider artful, though.

Dude, I don’t care how many iterations a person goes through. I care that the piece contains a bit of their soul.

The argument you’re making fails to appreciate why two images, one made by gen AI, one by a real human person, both exactly identical pixel by pixel, could possibly be valued differently.

If you want to know why I seem to lack respect for the prompt artist who spends a 3-month chunk of their life toiling over their latest piece, making everything just so, because some part of them desperately needs to say something and this piece is the only way they can—I would ask you to show me one.

But further, the prompt artist doesn’t even make it. Even if they did spend the time, credit goes to the AI. The prompt artist is welcome to claim their prompt, I guess, but I don’t often see them sharing those around. Would that even be entertaining?

But providing a description to an “actual artist” is an artistic skill.

Ohhh, so this is why people tag their images by popular art commisioners. Here’s another one asked for by XanthemG—you know he asks for good stuff.

Wait, that doesn’t happen.

why you believe ai inherently makes something not art.

For the same reason ChatGPT can’t make you any less lonely.

No, because amateur art is interesting.

Hours of effort to what, exactly?

Nothing, really.

It means you get a little certificate.
That says you own the article.
But you can’t edit it.
But you can show it to your friends.
But not if the site is down.
But the resale is gonna be like, whoa~
Maybe $50 less than you paid for it.
But the sentimentality is worth it.
You should definitely get two.

Well, they’re already doing it.

Unless you’re planning the coup tomorrow, I don’t know how this is supposed to help me.

And I suppose Roe v. Wade doesn’t factor into your goals then either?

My favorite thing about conspiracy theories is the all-at-once victory these events are supposed to be.

Like, dissenting opinions are so heavily discouraged that everything gets turned into some 5D mental chess gambit. So you get things like:

They were trying to kidnap scientists without anyone knowing

Okay. Kind of elaborate for that, but why not.

And they made a lot of money.

O… kay. I guess. Does that mean the money was important to the scientist kidnappi—

And there was a lot of evidence on that plane they needed gone, too.

Wow, popping this plane really was a golden egg, wasn’t it?
