  • AI art generation isn’t theft, it’s the training that’s problematic. These companies are using artists’ work for free and without credit to generate massive amounts of profits, while simultaneously putting these artists out of work.

    While I’m on this soapbox, making AI art doesn’t make you an artist any more than commissioning an art piece does. There is literally no difference between telling the AI what you want it to draw, and telling a human what you want them to draw. You are not an artist, you are a client.



  • It’s crazy to think how recently you could make a small change, and you would swap out almost all of the human race with people who were never born in this timeline. Consider the fact that you have 2¹ parents, 2² grandparents, 2³ great grandparents, etc. How far back do you need to go before the number of great×n grandparents is bigger than the population of the earth?

    2³³ is over 8,000,000. That’s 33 generations. A generation is what, 25 years? That’s like 800 years ago. It is fair to assume that, isolated villages in China or wherever notwithstanding, you are descended from every single person who was alive 800 years ago (who still has living descendants). More so than that, everyone can safely assume the same.

    You could swap out almost the entire population of the planet with a wholly different set of humans, if you just cockblocked any of your ancestors 1,000 years ago






  • Damn, I was talking about like fish and chicken

    But also, similar story with my Minerva. Her 17 years all caught up with her at once back in December. There’s no real reason why I haven’t taken care of her body yet, besides the fact that it I don’t want to realize the finality of it.

    It was hard to learn to sleep without her laying down on my arm. Wish I’d taken a picture of that.
