Its so insane that a business owner would be like "looks good" ? And you have to assume a lot of these people are fairly tech illiterate, so how are AI services reaching/advertising to them? Genuinely curious about this insane phenomenon that seems to be everywhere now
It looks like what they would give to a bear at the zoo for their birthday.

TW: suicide
If you were so downtrodden/broken by your government removing rights and planning to remove more, to the point that suicides have increased in your community, would you give a shit if another party would make it worse?
No, because mentally you're in such a dark place you don't care.

Showing up unwanted in random places all over the world, doing unforgiveable war crimes, then naming the places after yourself is such an incredibly The British Empire move. Only reason it'd look out of place in a history book is that Trump is slang for fart over here

Proud of the DinoCon team for standing up for the community and for celebrating human art and artists ❤️
I was heartbroken and disappointed with that talk specifically, but being part of a community of incredible, creative, kind people who are so supportive of each other - that is special. ❤️

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art.
You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

Never would have thought that Tim Haines, responsible for Walking With Dinosaurs would come out as pro-AI to a room full of palaeoartists and creators. No wonder he was whisked away immediately by security.

you can't believe that keir starmer is 'jus a decent guy trying his best' unless you agree with all of his cruel, bigoted, policies... which makes you as much of a despicable person as he is
'centrists' don't understand that the hatred of starmer is a reflection of the public's hatred of 'centrism'
