I disagree with myself?

Well at the very least whoever didn’t cause it apparently has the right to shut off utilities to civilians because of vengeance uhhh war stuff.

From Wikipedia

Around the late 14th century in Europe, smaller and portable hand-held cannons were developed, creating in effect the first smooth-bore personal firearm.

One time, my school brought a reptile guy to my school, and he showed us some pythons and lizards and a neat iguana. We should have banned him for being political because, as I said, dangerous snakes shouldn’t be allowed in school, and to me (a bigpted low-life moron), all snakes are the same.

They want to complain about the glasses, but all the salient points in the thread have been made, so they went with whatever.

“The only way to beat them is to just let them pass laws against people they dislike because otherwise, a lemmy user will get annoyed”.

We also shouldn’t allow 1000 lb Kodiak brown bears or Taipan snakes in classrooms. We should start a large political movement that bans those things from school and also bans any mention of those things. Letting children draw bears and snakes is only allowing them to think bears and snakes are okay in school.

Exactly. Why haven’t we banned Hooters, Tilted Kilt, any strip club, any theatre that shows R rated movies. Gun clubs aren’t safe for children, and restaurants serve alcohol, which also isn’t appropriate for children. Attending church makes a child more likely to be assulted, but so does being near your own family, as well as strangers. Schools pose the risk of indoctrinating kids, but so does their unce Frank. Rainbows? Straight to jail. A Smiley Face? Jail. Any opinion not shared by their parents? Wouldn’t you know it, Jail.

Ban people from doing anything because anything has an effect on kids.

How is this any different than strip clubs? Are states allowed to ban strip clubs on the whole?

Can you show me where getting 7 sick days per year was what the unions were looking for?

“Sure, he killed a strike last year, but he’s learning”

He’s a neolib that considers the PR of killing this strike more hurtful to his reelection than the last one.

They deorbit very quickly.

What?

you’re the one doing each and every brushstroke, deciding each and every detail as you draw.

Does Photoshop or any digital art not count? I don’t have to have the skill to draw a perfect circle?

good photography takes skill.

So we should artificially handicap the art at the expense of the lesser abled?

Whereas for AI art, all you’re doing is providing instruction to the AI, that then goes on to make all these decisions

Same as clicking a button on a camera at something that just happens to be beautiful. Does it matter if someone next to me is using the same ISO or exposure?

I don’t have to realize the complexity of lighting, shaders, or materials to render a scene in Unreal. I get to utilize the processes that pioneers before me discovered.

I understand the frustrations, but this seems stifling in the same way that cotton-gin-phobes, typewriter-phobes, and computer-phobes wpuld have stifled the ability of the average joe to accomplish something.

To what degree do you consider AI involvement to be the deal-breaker. My phone uses something arbitrarily akin to generative AI to sharpen photos. If I take a photo with my phone of something novel, should I be able to copywrite that photo?

If I use an AI generated image and spend 24 hours manually tweaking and modifying it, do I have a right to copywrite?

If I use an LLM to synthesize an idea that I then use to organically create art, is it lesser art?

It all seems so arbitrary at this point. It’s like a typist in 2005 arguing that digital word processors shouldn’t be used to create copywritable art, as it takes significantly less work.

They use carbrains as an insult. They expect people to add an hour to any commute.

Do you want to work for a company that will intentionally sabotage themselves? Probably not.

You could excuse bad acting with that same logic.
