• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  1234th time the US has forcibly instituted a regime change in another country: “Oh great! Imagine what the bad countries will do now that this is allowed.”

  why would they have used it in the first place?

  Because 30 seconds with an image generator looks nicer than 30 seconds in MS paint, the deeper point being the deciding factor is that it took 30 seconds of time.

  It shaved off work hours.

  I think this only makes sense in some abstract of a net aggregate of artistic labor hours. The reality though is that this work was never done by the artists, never given significant time allocation, and would never lead to hiring more artists.

  It was placeholder art. They didn’t reduce the artist hire because they weren’t going to have the artist make orange boxes and MSpaint character icons.

  The reductio ad absurdum is equally silly the other way. “Does the seeded algorithmic generation of a cloud texture disqualify anything that uses it as AI???” This is a debate stage level talking point, and is unconvincing in reality.

  The difference is they gave solid sound advice on opsec, and your comment seemed more in line with distrusting signal’s tech. One of these comments makes sense, the other doesn’t.

  The quest runs on a variant of Android correct? Like everything else that isn’t desktop, Linux is already the industry stander in facetop computing 😎

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires, is pursuing a very instructive line in relation to the war.

  Well I don’t speak British do I??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s called performance art. You’re not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on you, putting up bullshit in an art gallery is a classic art move.

  Some might argue it requires a terminal level of brain worms to understand what is being said with rule 8. But I for one find beauty in this exactly level and flavor of petty, and I come to the fediverse for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I think if there is a hope for greater detach from “The Cloud” more broadly, it’s a testament to nextcloud that folks that don’t even know enough to know what DB they are running are able to run a server, and host things well enough to consider themselves.

  shhh

  This statement brought was to you by someone that set up nextcloud and had no clue what DB it was using.

  One could argue if all she increases is distance away from OP, then there is a form of vectorized movement in polar coordinates with OP at 0 and his GF moving in the direction of maximizing the space between them 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That has been my method, I wondered if there was something better. But if I stumbled into the answer, that works too!

  What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I’ve searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?

  Lets not lie by omission, a huge part of the problem is that they are wildly more expensive while being shit too. 🙂
