Ooo a Thess sighting. Hi! I would tell you not to bother to engage with kool-aid drinking Winnow but then again what else is there to do around here. Biden in office: OMG a recession?

I don't see a solution to "the big picture" beyond the eventual hope that AI gets so good and for some unknown reason the wealthy agree to give up their wealth. That’s never going to happen. The greediest and most evil people in the world are never going to give up their power for the gre...

Yes I’ve seen the propaganda convincing Republicans that this is a good thing. It’s just amazing to see a thread with the expectations falling so quickly from a golden age to recessions are fine and needed. I understand your point. For clarity: "Golden Age" isn't instant. How could it be?...

Oh man, making comic book covers is fun! BTW I misspelled Carl Barks as Carl Banks on the Donald Duck cover I posted. It still did a decent job but I made some others that do the artist even more justice.

Slop is a universally accepted term for AI creations.

It's about as useful an expression as "keep fucking that chicken".

Trump is considering giving up on ending the Russia/Ukraine war he promised to end in his first 24 hours in office. This is because he’s not actually good at making deals. It’s why he can only sign executive orders rather than working with a Republican-controlled Congress. Trump is a grifter and a ...

I decided since my MB has 7 NVMe slots that I'll use two of them to mirror my OS drive via RAID 1. I can't say I've ever done that before so will see how it goes!

I'm finally back doing some AI image generation after months of videos only. I forgot how awesome FLUX was. To be clear, OpenAI's image gen has its uses but local models aren't slowing down.

fucking over their own customers is inexcusable. How do you justify purchasing Android phones when Google has a history of “fucking over their own customers” too? It's because if I had to make glasses out of their name I'd be able to see through the two O's. You can't do that with Apple's name.

I don’t think an economic system that crashes every few years as a feature is a good system. The US has been doing great over the past 100 years with that model. It has plenty of flaws.

Whether the corporations can afford to eat the costs isn't the point because anyone with a brain knows they won't. My point is Apple makes way more profit that most companies.

The only thing AI stops you from doing is making money.

Why would people stop creating art unless they were only doing it for profit to begin with? They're not trying to turn a profit, they’re trying to pay rent and buy groceries.

Impressed yet? Surprisingly, no. AI couldn't have created any of the so-called art in this thread and elsewhere if actual artists hadn’t already created it first.
