I’m pretty sure you made some kind of implication about @Lilyunad@lemmings.world with your month old account. What are you hiding? Who are you working for!? What do the numbers mean? Who is on Epstein’s list? When will Valve release Half Life 3!???

Your account is only a month old.

Well thank you for agreeing with me.

Nah, that’s fake. The point of the Democrats isn’t for the center right party to win. It’s for the center right party to lose. Being center right is just a means to the end of losing. Because no matter how right wing they are, they won’t be able to do as much damage as the neo Nazi party. And that’s what the point is.

They’re only shunning Mamdani performatively. It’s sin signalling. They’re doing it to be hated. They might win New York, and that’s an acceptable sacrifice if it helps them lose the rest of the country.

He’s ruining their plan to lose on purpose

This is true, but I have a better explanation for this case: people hate centrists.

Right wing voters would rather vote for a communist than a moderate liberal.

Take notes, Democrats. If you want to steal the right vote, run socialists

Bruh get one of those insulated bags that the doordash people use. Order the food in the drive through, put it in the insulated bag, close the lid. Then drive home and have your food at the kitchen table with a metal knife and fork like a civilized person. You won’t get crumbs and sauce on the carpet of your car. You’ll have an actual table to put your plate on. You can watch TV if you want. You can have a soda from the fridge at home instead of spending all that money on the McDonald’s sprite. You can sit down with your family and talk about your day.

Banning car spots and cars is not yet feasible for most people

Necessity is the mother of invention. “Destroy it and they will leave.”

This was a quest in Breath of the Wild

Part of the issue is that of they didn’t have that requirement, none would be built

Good. Ban car parking.

putting extra pressure on street parking and public parking facilities

Don’t build those either. Put the money that would have been spent on parking spaces into towtrucks.

Anyone who tells people not to bike on the sidewalk, and who owns a car, deserves to have it magically explode right then and there. And I hope they’re driving it when they do.

What they mean to say is that there’s only one healthy diet, and since more of the healthy people are carnists, the vegetarians are doing it wrong.

What about WINE?

Humanity is too ignorant to recognise bad AI art on sight, every time. The trends are only easy to see in mass aggregate. That’s why individual action can’t stop it. We need aggregate action. We need to ban AI art.

Oh, they can make something useful. I can watch Flunky make images with two very different checkpoints, and they have the same artistic style. And the breasts are enormous and heaving. It’s good for gooning to.

I just don’t believe we should have to put up with 99 average AI art users for every Highborn Flunky. I’m willing to give up gooning to Flunky pieces if it means I don’t have to see those awful sepia comics with the dot eyes on Lemmy.

And I’m concerned by men like Sam Altman and Elon Musk. I’m concerned by the energy cost of training, the economic costs to artists, and the effect on average people’s creativity. I would be willing to ban AI art in order to solve those issues. If 99% of humans can’t be responsible with the technology, then we shouldn’t have it. I feel the same way about automobiles, nuclear bombs, tanks, and plastic packaging.

That’s because House is a poser fan of the guy with the moustache

I’m not saying an idiot with a pencil will produce good art, or art that’s worth anyone else’s time. But they will always have the potential to draw something worth their own time. Anyone can engage in a worthwhile artistic endeavour using a pencil. It’s not about quality, or originality, or theming. It’s about intention. Any idiot can communicate what their own ideas with a pencil, on some level.

For example, take Adolf Hitler. He was a terrible artist. He had no understanding of proportion. His paintings don’t make logical sense. And you know what? That suits the man. Hitler was an idiot who couldn’t make logical sense of the world. His paintings reflect his terrible mind. There is that much value in them as an endeavour of self-expression. I can look at a painting by Hitler and say “that’s a Hitler”.

I can also look at an AI generated image by Highborn Flunky and say “that’s a Flunky”, but Flunky is a good artist. Hitler is not. That’s the difference I’m talking about. A painting reflects your soul even if you suck.

The difference between a camera and Stable Diffusion is that a camera makes it hard to convey artistic intent, while Stable Diffusion adds artistic intent that isn’t yours. Making art with a camera is hard, but anyone can know it when they see it. Making art with Stable Diffusion is an endeavour complicated by the fact that the AI is using mass manufactured intent to pass of intentless creations as art. If you fail to convey your intent with a prompt, you don’t get a dull scene, you get trendy bullshit.

And people are way more offended by being shown trendy bullshit by bad artists than boring scenes.

Let’s ban marketing meat as food. You can sell dead animal tubes, but you can’t call them sausages.
