This is only going to be a problem for about 6-12 months. After that, the AI will be good enough that we won’t be able to tell it’s been done by AI.

If you read the article, it suggests that there’s an inherent contradiction in using AI-generated art to promote indie developers. I’m explaining why that’s not a contradiction at all. Small indie developers are more likely to use AI-generated art than large developers who have the budget to hire full-time artists.

This actually seems like the perfect use case. It’s throwaway promotional art. It’s not intended to be unique, inspired or impressive. Anyone who isn’t an artist specifically looking for stuff to complain about likely wouldn’t notice the flaws because they wouldn’t look at the image long enough to notice any. It’s the…

Wouldn’t small indie developers be more likely to use AI generated art? Let’s say I’m a solo developer with no art skills and a tiny budget. I could either use AI tools to generate my art or buy generic art asset packs. Either way, the end result is going to look generic and mediocre but being a solo developer with a…

What’s the big deal. Maybe they were just planning on putting out a tweet without any art attached to it, and at the last minute came up with this to spruce it up. I doubt any artist is losing sleep over this.

MS is one of the biggest companies in the world. They could have easily paid someone to do this. It wouldn’t have hit them at all. It’s pennies to them. Hell, I’m sure they are already paying an artist who could use more work.

I agree that this episode was a bit overly loose in its plot. Yet it was still pretty fun, and easy to digest, which is a good thing since I was already full of turkey and ham.

He’s a hacker he isn’t a danger.

Bankruptcy is the word, now.

There are only two types of cops: bad cops and cops who cover for bad cops.

Fuck all cops.

The guy who was being held without bail wasn’t the cop, it was the business owner of the place the cop crashed into. The cop wasn’t arrested for crashing into the building. He arrested the owner for yelling and cursing at him (“causing a disturbance”) and made up a felony assault charge that is not supported by…

If you assume a cop’s initial statement in the wake of an incident is a lie, you will be correct in your assumption 100% of the time.

Wonder why a 32 year old guy was on probationary/new hire status. Really wonder what department(s) he worked for prior. Also really wonder why he doesn’t work there any longer.

pigs gonna pig tbh but think about the culture in that police station if a PROBATIONARY officer, one not even allowed to do shit on their own, had the balls to try and pull this shit. That means the whole force likely is rotten to the core.

It’s not enough, but the prosecutor agreed to release Mr. Morris on his own recognizance this morning. The security cam footage posted on twitter shows they were likely driving too fast, came too close to a parked car and overcorrected. This story is such garbage and it’s high time SLMPD is held accountable for their…

So that drunk teen who crashed her car into the police station gets a $40 bail, and this guy is held without bond? ACAB is right. And I know the cops don’t set bail, but they do routinely lie about the circumstances of the incident to increase the chance of that denial.

ACAB as always 

Interesting, raising your voice is causing a disturbance but crashing your 5,500 pound SUV police cruiser through the front wall is apparently not.

Not wearing seatbelts will do that.
