Definitely not a coincidence

Sure. But it's fucking weird right. ?

Like we know where this guy sleeps. We know where he sits all day. We know what clothes he wears.

And then show him in regular clothes being given a cocktail. Why the hat? Hiding bruises or something?

It's just crazy shit.

There are only 3 photos. Guy never looks at camera directly for any of them.

No video.

Idk. That's weird too.

I'm going to stick with my suspicion that the guy may not be alive until I see some better evidence.

Booker is planning on going down there too.

Let's see how that goes.

In these trying times when everything is crazy, I can't take anything at face value. You feel me?

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.

If I was a law firm that was extorted into working for Trump for free. I'd be sabotaging at every chance I could.

If you are in such a position. Please run the game on this clown.

What's he gonna do ? Fire you?

Sabotage.

Is it okay for me to still be suspicious that these photos aren't real ? Why no video ?

Wtf. Why?

And they put him in regular clothes and a hat.

Idk. I hope he is alive. I can't say I'm convinced yet.

Can't trust nothing anymore. You know?

I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.

Still trying appeals but not optimistic.

Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.

.... Im so bitter.

Now I'm bitter for you too.

Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
