NGL adidas, being one of two companies that were started by essentially heirs to the dude who got rich designing and manufacturing the nazi boots, then later saying “ol antisemitic yeezy isn’t that bad right?” for hopes of more money… is admittedly a really bad look.

i would say i don’t get it for the low hanging fruit troll, but fuck that. they really are just that stupid

oh wow yet another fucking problem involving the f-35

thanks margot!

i really appreciate you taking the time out of your normally-busy schedule to just be in the river of shit with the rest of us. really makes us feel like our trudge work is worth some respect.

loved you in barbie, btw.

jesus fuck i cannot wait for these old bags to fucking croak and take their outdated logic with them.

aaaaahahahahahahaha that bitch can get fucked for all hundred k of it.

unfortunately that works up until a point. past a certain point of engrained expectations and ubiquitous adoption by a majority of society, it no longer works.

google has gotten to that point.

google needs to be broken up, regardless, for the people not smart enough to adapt to using another search engine.

and guess what: if google gets broken up, a lot more people also won’t use google anymore, and then you get your wish!

found the bmw driver at heart

“mMmMm yeTh tHe FeMmoOidS”

let me guess, you’re a really nice guy?

i legitimately laughed at this comment rofl

nail on the head

that is a special kind of stupid.

they should have had him sign a waiver saying the coast guard didn’t need to watch out for him, and then send him on his way, godspeed.

trust me, the human gene pool could desperately use it.

as you can see this man is wearing a mask and all those tattoos prove that he is a uh… *checks notes* …government plant. a “fed” as they say.

fine i’ll get one of those crazy mormons to jump hump me into butt fuckin a twink. stick to the LDS rules.

depends. if they do that, no lie, they invite the streisand effect by doing so.

the only way for that to occur is for the person to scrub the internet of all references to their art work and make sure any public or private viewings happen in person with no capture devices of any kind allowed. then you have a chance at accomplishing not having your art be absorbed.

the reality is, if it exists on the net, it will be absorbed by others out there. sometimes just out of sheer spite. if it weren’t so easy to shit out a home brew ai stable diffusion model or lora in hours, then sure, there might be a way of legally pursuing. fortunately art is now going to become so democratized that there will be a myriad of new artists to copy from.

but at this point that’s like trying to shut down pepe the frog as a meme. just ain’t gonna happen. pepe’s been let out of the box.

i think the artists are scared that with ai in the mix, they’re going to be replaced. but that’s not true the same as painters weren’t replaced by photoshop and digital painters. they could actually embrace the change and lean into it, but unfortunately people tend to be like lemmings in their own echo chambers and the artist echo chamber said “THIS IS BAD! THIS IS STEALING!” never once thinking about all the methods they’ve stolen from others along the way. oh sorry, we will call it “influenced”. my bad.

but yeah, if they lean into it, great things can occur. a friend of mine has literally trained a private home brew model of her own artwork and then added in shit tons of fantasy concepts into the mix. as a result, a shit ton of her heavy lifting for illustration in graphic novels is already done. artists could be using it for inspiration or for reference.

honestly i can’t wait for the artist echo chamber to just calm tf down

let’s see them argue this for copying and further altering other people’s styles manually.

you know, what we call “art”.

you telling me all those people that thought “oh wow that artist’s method of using long curving lines is awesome, im going to try that too.” are somehow different than the act of visually scraping everything and then telling ai to create X in the styles of Y and Z?

sorry, but no.

if it is someone copying someone’s exact style and the acting as though the artist made it, that’s where it’s crossing a line. personally i think doing a carbon copy of a persons work is grounds for legal complaint.

but this shit? no.

i’m not even gay and id buttfuck a twink just to stick it to the man. then i would claim it’s not romantic because i’m not gay so how could i feel romance toward another male.

checkmate

oh shit this takes me back

“he said he was ire-ish, and our scholars still don’t know what that that means, but we assume it’s that if you draw his ire, he will be angry.”

AMD needs to hurry the fuck up and catch up in the AI game

hmmm. while i get the point the union is trying to make, there is a staunch difference between welding and pipe fitting versus creating semi-conductors.

i think it’s silly to assume the workers wouldn’t learn the necessary skills to be able to work there, but it’s also silly to say “well we can fit pipes and weld shit so we can make semiconductors.”
