I used to be on the fence concerning AI graphics, but I’ve learned since then and am now totally against AI slop. Amusing “that’s kinda neat” images like the one above are absolutely not worth the cost to artists. I just can’t get excited about software that’s designed to plagiarize the work of people who are barely scraping by. Plus, those data centers are an energy-hogging nightmare.
Either reason alone is good enough to be against AI, but together, the situation is simply ludicrous.
It’s the best of both worlds!

Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.
I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.
These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
What I’m getting from this exchange is that people on the left have ethical concerns about plagiarism, and don’t trust half-baked technology. They also value quality over quantity.
I’m okay with being pigeonholed in this way. Drink all the coffee you want, dude.
Daughter: Daddy, why do you work for the people who kidnapped Mommy? Correa: I don’t, sweetheart. I’m in the Army. The Army doesn’t deport people. ICE does. Daughter: They both take orders from the president, though, right? Correa: well, yeah. Daughter: So, why do you work for the man who ordered ICE to kidnap Mommy? Correa: …
Being aware of the irony is free. How you respond is completely up to you.
People have pointed out other secure, open-source messaging apps, but this is still pretty damn cool.
Driving is complex. Knowing what to pay attention to when takes time to learn.
I recommend not trying to drive a manual until you’ve already learned the basics in an automatic. In my opinion, learning to drive AND learning how to handle a manual transmission is too much at once.
