Heh Heh Heh. Ah. Ehhhh

Incredible self-own, thank you

What work is the word “still” doing here?

People will literally cheerlead for megacorp lawyers to come along and annihilate the private individuals using this tech and not see that as the Our Hats Have Skulls On Them moment it is

I love to come to kotaku dot com to read incisive commentary. Anyway check this out

Generated imagery doesn’t “still” contain the “signatures” of an “original” artist; it frequently includes elements that look vaguely like abstract representations of signatures constructed from first principles. THIS IS NOT A SAMPLING/REMIXING TECHNOLOGY.

Seriously, when humans create art they don’t literally layer a bunch of picture one on top of the others and start tracing over the bunch of them using smoothing tool to better blend their features.

“Crypto bros” “tech bros” “AI art bros” generative media detractors come up with a single new dismissive innuendo challenge

I think that you could have benefited from being told to get over yourself more often but if you are currently thirty-or-fortywhatever then the damage is probably long done

Do note I said that I use it as part of my workflow. I use SD and MJ to generate imagery that I use as components in collages and photomanips.

Actually, guillotine

This article does nothing to explain what a technology upgrade slot is, how many of them existed before this update, or the significance of a reduced “power level”

There are good and bad conservatives/right-wingers, just like there’s good and bad progressives/left-wingers.

Cool. I am glad to have a reason to be optimistic.

The fact that he’s apparently drawing so deeply from the Japanese original gives me some hope that he won’t drop the ball on Gwyndolin but I’m not holding my breath

If you just give them this space uncontested, you’re just giving them exactly what they want, and buying their narrative that they’re relevant.

I don’t know; if the “I’d trust this guy with my kids... if I had any” line is representative of the overall tone of the writing, there’s a chance there might be something here.

This rocks. I immediately went looking for Omikron and Prince of Persia to see if you’d done any unusually shaped packaging and I was very pleased with what I saw. Awesome presentation all around.
