If we’re going to condemn and ban technology for the abuses committed by bad actors, we should immediately turn off the internet.

Trust me - it is.  There are whole communities dedicated to perfecting AI porn.

It’s a hell of thing when people can’t grasp satire anymore, or simply refuse in favor of their righteous outrage.

Going forward, all references to Randy Voepel should be, Randy “Proud grandfather of a mass murderer!” Voepel.

I wonder how vigilant they’ll be with people who sell “prints” of artists like WLOP, Guweiz and Sakimi-chan, or cheap-ass Chinese knock-off counterfeit figures or bootleg videos?

What’s this?  A nuanced reply that addresses both the pros and cons of a newly emerging (and disruptive) technology?   Madness!

Given some of the garbage SNL writers have cranked out over the years, I’m not ready for that level of hypocrisy.

I’m old enough to remember the howl “real artists” had when things like scanners and Photoshop rolled out.  Nice to see the gatekeeping continues.

“Given enough time, it’ll become yet another clipart thing. Only this time it’s at the cost of real creativity.”

So if a girl uses AI art as a way of expressing her trauma over her sexual assault, or a kid about racism or life on the streets, they’re just frauds?

Came here to say that, beat me to it. I’m always amused by self-appointed gatekeepers tongue clucking about what “real art” is. Bad actors will behave badly regardless of whether AI is involved, but as far as I’m concerned, I’m seeing a lot of people now given tools to let them express themselves in ways they want,…

No woman, no matter what she does, should be under threat of domestic or sexual abuse/assault.

It’s saying something when they’d rather leave players with an unplayable game rather than just give them a patch that’d let them play in offline mode.

Nothing says “hypocrite” like a bunch of people finger-wagging at the rest of us for not being as enlightened in our views... while schlepping Amazon and being paid by their money.

I suspect this was just a match that lit a fuse to some other dynamite.

Because sometimes all that’s needed is a spark to set off the powder keg.

I was thinking crypto, but real estate works. ;)

The only male voice I preferred was when I downloaded Homer Simpson into my old Garmin GPS to give me directions as only Homer can. :p

Do you even understand what socialism is? You do know that “socialism” is the assumption of certain parts of society by the public sector like, oh, I don’t know, the police, fire/rescue and the military? You know, things paid for by tax dollars that benefit society as a whole. That’s socialism, not whatever screed…

This just in, women are perfectly capable of being just as shitty and toxic as men.  Save the “imperfect” label for women who go about their lives without being as awful as Heard. (And I don’t think Depp’s much better. The whole thing was two terrible people airing their dirty laundry out for us, the ravenous masses,…

I’m thinking it might have something to with the crazy white shitheel being armed. Cops get awful cautious when the person can shoot back.
