To the cheer of so-called progressives who never understood the tech and continue to be wilfully ignorant of it the corporations win again.

If the goal is to block out all progressives, won’t you also have to block individual users who are not of that instance, but are still active within?

I’m so sorry. Landlords are absolute lowest of the low, bastards among bastards.

I’ve seen this image pop up now and then for like 10+ years as a meme in the Linux community and never not once did I think this.

Obviously if that’s a confirmed intention behind it, then it’s not okay, but I think you’re overthinking it, it’s just how anime designs are, the characters often look agelessly young.

These look like pretty average anime characters to me and don’t strike me as implying something problematic in the slightest.

Idk I’m an outside observer to weeb shit, but that’s how I always interpreted it at least.

It’s a meme, ya dunce. I don’t think anyone is furiously jerking it to the Debian logo just because it has some poorly drawn animeys next to it.

or perhaps better to be anti-racist in the sense of “I oppose the concept of racism”.

True. To me it is this, and opposition to systemic structures that actively enable it, which often intersect with the same systems that enable other forms of oppression.

I firmly consider myself an ally. I do not know best, and I cannot really take action as I would not know what to do. I fully agree on that 👍

True

Nah, I think it predates trans culture memes becoming so mainstream.

Do you ever like, read what you wrote and think about it for a minute? Because if you did I think you’d realize that you sound utterly delusional.

I’m pretty sure to an artist from the early 20th century the difference between having Ctrl+Z, nevermind 3D modeling and just having GenAI would be honestly minute and they wouldn’t see either as to be the same craft or even to be on the same level of craft as what they’re doing. They would both seem like the machine is doing all the work. Would they be right?

Oh no it’s still a ton of work to get it setup correctly and everything and learn how to work the tool, kind of like how actually getting SD to generate something half way decent is also actually quite complex and involves both technique and practice.

It’s just that if I were a disingenuous anti-AI luddite like lots of peeps ITT who drew an arbitrary line in the sand between tools and followed my own logic, then compared to a 200 years ago, then indeed the computer does all the work, because there wasn’t even any need to grow hemp for the canvas.

I grew up in a country where there was no black people at all when I was born. It wasn’t till much later that black people could be seen about in larger cities as students or tourists, usually a bit of a tourist attraction themselves.

Whenever I went to the west my parents always asked if I saw any {hard r n-word}s about. I don’t think they even knew it was offensive.

I try my best as a progressive to be anti-racist, but I have no clue about black people honestly or what problems if any they face in the UK apart from discrimination by the police and home office, as people they seem alien and strange, and in London all PoC in general I saw seemed to have no interest in interacting outside of strictly religious/ethnic/national lines and i don’t mind that, though it did make uni cliques seem more like ethnostates.

TBH if it’s not even drawn it’s basically computer graphics which I don’t see as being much different from AI art. It’s the computer doing all the work anyway

Honestly I was just confused bro don’t worry, I thought this was !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com, my go-to for wallpapers and just plain nice images these days, but this looks like just more Photoshop made stuff I think

Ah that’s a shame.

“To taste” isn’t meant literally in the phrase. It’s an idiom, and you can use it in another context (e.g. add accessory to outfit to taste) as a clever way of saying “to one’s preferences.”

Although technically it’s original use in recipes isn’t actually meant that way, and actually means to keep adding and tasting the food as you go until it feels sufficient.

I also got tripped up on this when I was first learning English so don’t worry too much OP! It’s a fickle language.

Nice! What model was used to generate this?

No bro I think you’re confused, the topic for the comment chain was set here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/11568788

Re-read this and hopefully you’ll understand. Peace sir. 🙏

Say: “You can’t use someone’s own creative work to compete against them in the same market”

So just IP laws then? Also would this not literally ban learning
