  • My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

    It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

    So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.







  • I wonder if it would be advantageous to make a community about live streaming now that Twitch has finally grown out of being a gaming platform. Justin TV was so much more diverse, live streams are so much more than just Twitch and the meta there. Edit: how some people feel about twitter is how I feel about Twitch. A company is making a genre of media uninteresting to me.




  • This is horrifying, I didnt realize these animals are actually farmed and not trapped / hunted.

    • Materials and fabrics have some such a long way there is no need for fur in terms of density of warm material (winter coats) or for softness.
    • There are other uses for fur like makeup and shaving brushes, where fur is the best but for almost all users, plastic brushes will do a perfect job.

    I would be really excited to see a day where even leather is replaced by a superior alternative, and I’m very curious about waxed canvas, and any other waterproofing that doesnt involve PTFE chemicals.
