I always say if you have to tell people, it’s probably not true.

“I’m not racist, but…” “I’m very smart” “I’m a nice guy”

I can’t believe a kid would know about this.

Slightly restored faith in future generations.

Right wing is the authoritarians.
How have you mixed these up ?

The ring wing want to force Christianity in school. To make everyone their religion. They remove diversity policies

They are the ones keeping people from identifying with their gender on identification documents. Or using the appropriate bathroom.

They don’t want women to have autonomy over their own body.

They literally are trying to force people to be a specific way and remove their rights to autonomy.

That’s authoritarian.

You know about the paradox of tolerance, right?

Tolerating right wing ideology only allows it to become dominant.

We can’t tolerate intolerance and misinformation.

It was that tolerance that got us into this shit show we are in today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Lemmy. The support group for burned reddit veterans.

We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma …

All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.

Maybe you didn’t think Luigi should get the death penalty.

Don’t worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.

Which states just let you buy a gun with no background check or registration?

How are people convicted of owning unregistered firearms if registration isn’t required?

Isn’t there always a waiting period and a background check?

Felons aren’t allowed to buy or own guns.

Okay then. Just gives outline of how I use Photoshop and AI as a tool for traditional art.

The only thing it can do is regurgitate.

I think it has some value. I’ve been enjoying political deep fakes. Like that one of trump sucking musk toes.

I also think AI has some value for artist to use as a tool. Not to fully create pieces but to help.

If it’s used in that way it’s more ethical.

In contrast I’ve been using software in a similar way for at least 20 years. For instance, if I’m working on a painting, I often start with a real photograph. (My own or free to use reference image from a source giving permission).

I put it in Photoshop and use filters to increase edge contrast. Then I create a sketch over it. I print the sketch to scale and then transfer it to my canvas or paper. Or use it to make digital painting.

Another thing I do is use filters in Photoshop (the cutout one) to help me better able to see blocks of color changes. Because human perception makes it difficult for us to actually perceive these.

I then reference that image during the painting process.

Now that’s not using AI. But I am using software. Ai can be used similarly though.

With a specific AI you can apply a painting style of one image to another. This was actually the first free AI type art. It was called deep dream or something like that. About 5 years ago. The website is still up but doesn’t offer this anymore. But I found one that does.

So yeah you upload two images. A photo you took. And a painting you made. And set the percentage of change.

And it can help you plan a painting by making a version that will have your painting style applied. It’s actually kinda awesome.

But as you can imagine you could upload someone else’s photograph. And someone else’s art piece.

Stealing their style.

I still think this specific AI tool has the most value for artist to use.

Or the large amount of uncounted votes

Should we start a Kickstarter or a GoFundMe,?

Ah thank you

I don’t get the reference. ?
