The problem with AI is not the aesthetics of what it produces. AI can provide good, bad, beautiful, ugly, smart, stupid, etc. What people hate about it is not the artifact, it’s the fact that it took no talent or skill for, but is being claimed as a work of value. Monet spent his life perfecting his style, and did so with likely visual impairments. His art was never about perfection, it was about emotion and a display of what he could accomplish through his life of creativity. Goes the same, even for artists I don’t care for (I’ve always thought Jackson Pollack’s works are unpleasant). I may not like them but I can respect the effort, and dedication.
AI are has none of that. The work was done long in advance, by the vast training materials which is essentially the collective output of human creativity. Also by the people who coded the AI, figured out the math, etc. Now clowns like this fucker come along, manipulate people to prove a “point” that’s utterly pointless in the first place.
God I hate the future we’ve chosen.
Only time that happens is when I’m camping.
I’m waiting for the inevitable hantavirus parties. Gotta make sure little Timmy earns his immunity!
ding, ding, ding.. It's much more lucrative to be pursued than it is to be part of the machine. He'd be a relatively progressive republican (at least according to them) and he'd be getting criticism, instead of praise from the fascists.
there's that pesky concept that this clown ignores laws and norms, and has 2 additional branches of goverment who are dedicated to nothing more than sycophancy to him.
The US government is currently run by calvinball rules.
I bought my Bambu back when orca slicer and local network was out of the box supported. It was only a few months later that they locked out their firmware and started down this path.
I’ve been steadfastly refusing to update firmware. I hope to modify it someday but if not, I’ll just make sure it’s my last Bambu.
It’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad, it’s…
Fuck it, life is better with coffee, and fruit.
I know, but it’s not really a misspelling though, Milquetoast was named after milktoast.
My first intro to it was Milquetoast the Cockroach from Bloom County. It all makes perfect sense :)
It’s an excellent word, means a timid, meek, or unassertive person. I love it since it sounds like exactly what it is “”milktoast” sounds boring, unappealing, and bland, just like milquetoast people.. it’s an effective synonym regardless if intended or not :)
