Get he out lest he be ready to drop to your knees and gibe praise to the righteous AUR as it doth demand.

But how many football fields does it weigh?

I’m currently involved in a legal case in which I produced audio recordings. I was questioned intensely by the other sides lawyer about the modified date on windows.

I kept asking him to clarify what he meant by modified until he said “I don’t know”.

Like. Ffs.

I mean. Every super Nintendo / Nintendo / n64 game ever is what, like, 16gb?

The fuck does someone’s political alignment have to do with this shit?

What’s the point of even searching I’d you can’t grep?

Well said.

Cognitive dissonance at work.

So i had an idea for a thing. This thing did not exist. Parts of it may existed in some fashion, but the thing itself did not.

Now the thing exists. It hangs on my wall.

We may have different definitions of the term creation in mind here. Can you suggest a better word to use for using my input to make a thing that did not exist before? I can use that going forward.

And yes. Ai combines things that other people have made before into something else. Usually the Mona Lisa does not have my face. Then I spent around and hour in stable diffusion and maybe two hours in gimp. Now the Mona Lisa has my face. I would call this new, as the Mona Lisa, to my knowledge, has never before had my face on it. Let alone looked like my face belonged on it.

I’m making an assumption here, and feel free to correct me if its incorrect, but I’m guessing that you feel its okay when a person blends artistic styles into something that is distinctly their own.

If this assumption is true: why is it legitimate when a person does it and not a machine? Or is it?

And another question: if the issue is with artists being compensated (maybe another assumption here, in apologize if I’m off base): would you support legislation to the effect that those that inspired or influenced another artist’s work receive recompense for it?

Second to last question: if an ai is trained solely on works in the public domain do you still have an issue with it?

Final question: if existing artists styles can be replicated using a genealogy of sorts using only those public domain works, and they’re combined in a manner that no one has thought to combine them: are there issues you have with that? What are they?

Honestly trying to get a better understanding of where the borders of right and wrong here for you are so I can better understand your position.

Uh. No. You can tell because of how my post is.

I want to be able to create all the things Ive dreamed of creating my.whole life without spending 4-8 years in fucking art school, saddling myself in debt for a skill that was virtually impossible to make a living off of. and that was BEFORE ai. AI has enabled me to create things that would have been fucking.impossible for me to.create on my own and and absurdly.expensive to have commissioned. Its allowed me to create things that would be literally.impossible without it.

I had ideas. I just couldn’t afford to make it real. With ai I’ve been able to.

I never would have paid an artist to do what I’ve been able to done for myself. Even if I could have afforded it.

Ai may commodotize creativity but it democratizes art.

Jeans Pierre can still build a lifesized model.of Donald trump.out of tampons and I get an to cover my walls with viking chicks with huge fits that look like they’re painted by van Gogh, and oil paintings of my face instead of whoever the model.was on history’s greatest works.of art.

If you’re an artist pissed off about ai taking your money: you probably wouldn’t have made much anyway. Being an artist was always a reckless gamble.

Didn’t they recently come out and admit that there were hackers in many of their most secure systems that they couldn’t get out?

What the fuck are you talking about?

In tests they did in the 50s they told people yo cover their eyed with their hands and close their eyed and people could see the bones in the heir hands.

How about inmates? Let’s use that term. And make sure its accurate.

Can we just start hanging the rich on live TV?

Some Mexican police stopped me and searched me for drugs while I was stumbling back to my Airbnb in Cabo.

But I had no drugs so continued back and went to sleep.

I’m }picturing dudes coming up from underground looking just a little bit dirty pretending to wipe off all the helium they’ve been mining while huge dump trucks and conveyor belts industriously rumble away carrying literally nothing nowhere. A concerned supervisor runs over to one of the miners like "god damn it Joel,. I told you to be careful. You’re covered in helium! We’re you even wearing your protective gloves? Look at your hands

. The men g)are angrily as a dumpy Rick carying a load of helium }pulls around just as one of the execs from head office pulls up in a golf cart, leisurely motions to the dump truck driver to stop, and cautiously climbs up into the bed of the truck to reach in. He climbs down, looking bemused, running his thumb and index finger together.

" Fine helium boys, great work out there today" he says after gingerly tasting nothing on his finger.

" But see, we’ve got a little problem".

The men, grizzled helium miners all, look concerned but defiant. These rugged hardworking may ultimately be under this man’s purview, but they’ll never respect soft hands with manicured nails that have never felt thing ring of the pickaxe against a brand new helium de}osit deep in mother earth.

The men’s defiance seems ready to boil over in rage as security personal, a dozen of them, from lines around the mean, prepared for any trouble that might arise.

You see", the executive drawls smugly " recent shipments have been a little… Light".

The men look around nervously, as if a{using looking at Joel on purpose. This is a trepidation the executive does not share as,. Motioning to security guards he walks towards Joel.

" Say, ajoel, is it? How were the men’s today. "

Joe smiles wanly, says nothing.

" Well, Joel? What’s it like down there, huh?

Joel \inces as he replies " it was good" his voice is as high pitched as the backing of a 90s techno song. Joel is grabbed by security guards as the executive roughly reaches into Joel’s c{versllys.

He holds an empty hand up as if holding something, displaying it before the miners.

" Aha! Pure helium. Our helium. And don’t you forget it boys. "

Then men glare angrily at the executive, sympathetically at Joe, as they head off towards the showers to cleanse themselves of helium residue before heading home

So, I don’t really understand this, but., why use Wayland? All I ever read about with it is problems about compatibility and functionality. I don’t understand what the benefits are. Or what it does that do different than x

Its why I love the steam controller.

I have three or four. A couple are dead. And I dread my last ones dying too. The durability is not great.

But being able to game on the couch is just… man, so amazing. I really very badly want a steam controller 2. It was, imo, the best thing to happen to PC gaming in years.

Give. The stea. Deckss popularity, and how they used everything they learned from the steam controller to make the controls on the deck what they apparently are, I’m holding out hopes that perhaps well one day get a vw steam controller.

Please?
