That garbage is rarely even worth pirating anymore.

Now do it for the AfD

The 42k are just the ones who have been identified by name. The actual number of casualties is naturally going to be much higher.

Why is piracy costing you 4$ a month.

There is microplastic in Antarctica. Unless your well feeds on an ancient aquifer instead of groundwater it will still be contaminated.

1 GW of solar is much cheaper than 1 GW of nuclear. Solar is both cheaper to build and cheaper to run. It's the most efficient energy source e currently have.

I don't need someone's consent to draw lewd fanart of them.

The US and Germany are both by far the two biggest contributors to the Ukranian war effort.

Bold of you to assume they read it in the first place

Just install stable diffusion via command line and download the models and Loras from civitai. It's really that simple.

The inflation and subsequent cost of living increase is a direct consequence of the covid stimulus packages.

Now remind me again who it was that started the money printing after the catastrophic handling of the pandemic.

I'm German and I support Nicaragua in this matter.

Some genre names would be: Colony Sim, Base Builder or City Builder.

Another great one is Dwarf Fortress, you should give it a try if you haven't already. It probably has the most in depth simulation of any game there is.

Fun Fact: Ever since the end of the Cold War every Republican presidency increased military spending while every Democrat president reduced it.

In case you aren't aware, the devs released a version with proper graphics now.

The anime adaptation isn't that great. The pacing is awful since it's weekly and they have less than one 20 page chapter for each 20 min episode. At least the animation improved in the Wano arc.

Yeah. It's not gonna stop people from this community, French or not.

But the French government if crazy about copyright, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually tried it. Just the insanity alone that you can't take pictures of Paris at night because the Eiffel Tower lights are copyrighted... xD

Seems like a good strategy to get the weapons and ammo needed to defend yourself against the brutish hordes of rapists, torturers, looters, murderers and child molesters who are hell bent on committing genocide against you.

I am not a good illustrator though, but I'm good at working with AI and Photoshop. Using generated images as a base gives me the best quality in a reasonable time.

I'm pretty sure there are musicians who would roll in their graves at the thought of generating music in synthesizers, yet without we would have electronic music.

Websites containing instructions and links to such an illegal browser would also be banned

They are no longer telling themselves that. They scraped that clause a while ago.

What hole. They were never colonized.

The X isn't kisses. The X stand for closes eyes and the O is an open mouth, hence XO = kiss emote and XOXO is the plural

If my employer fired me for condemning terrorism I would no longer want to ever work for them anyway

At least in Germany they get you by pirating and logging who seeds to them, as uploading is the killer not downloading. If you throttle your upload to 0kb/s aka disabling it you can torrent safely.

The same way one eats soup, with a spoon if you're feeling fancy or else just slurping it.

Yeah, you are right. Guess we used it wrong in school.

That's the funny part, they aren't allowed to. But they know no one is gonna bother to sue then over it.

Those ridiculous terms of service are null and void when challenged in court.

The word "distribute" refers to the act of distributing or spreading something out among a group of people or things. It can also refer to the way in which something is distributed or arranged. For example, a company may distribute its products to different retailers, or a teacher may distribute assignments to students. Additionally, it can mean to give out something in an orderly way, such as distributing flyers or pamphlets.

The entire point of generative AI is to generate things not present in the training set by teaching it to abstract the concept.

It's a very fair comparison because in both cases you take the physical skill requirement that takes years to learn and even longer to master out of producing art. To make a good electronic song you need to compose, but you don't need to know how to physically play the instruments. To make a good image you need to know how to compose it, but not how to physically draw it.

Russia and China are already trading extensively with NK and Iran and have been for decades lol

Iran also has a well industrialized economy, not unlike Russia and they will look quite similar once the western machinery that is extracting all those resources starts breaking down without being able to be replaced appropriately.

Yes, you read right. All that machinery comes from decaying Europe and the decrepit US.

The days where solar is at its weakest also happen to be the ones where eolic is at its strongest.

They can revoke the license whenever, but you can sue them for it. Whatever illegal garbage is written in the EULA won't hold up in court.

It stands for Mali?

There is nothing unfortunate about being able to buy products that are both cheap and high quality.

Now that Google spilled the beans WilliamTheWicked can no longer extract contact information of females from the ChatGPT training data.

The problem that I see is that you aren’t very present in the art.

Now that depends on how much agency you give yourself, doesn't it? If you just give Midjourney a prompt and call it a day then yes. But the result won't be very good, will it? Similar how you could just input random notes to a synthesizer and get shitty music in return.

The problem is that the majority of people does exactly that and then shares the resulting images online, making it appear that is all there is to it. You can however express yourself artistically by using prompt engineering to get something good and than working with that to further approach what you imagine by editing the result. There are many people out there who could not artistically express themselves as they lacked the ability to translate their vision to a canvas. With the help of image generating AI they can finally express themselves. I think this is something beautiful.

How are we going to develope [sic] new styles?

While I do agree with you that our current AI image generators won't be very innovative, this is by design and not necessity.

This is what you would have gotten in let's say 2017 when asking an AI what it thinks a dog looks like (s. DeepDream).

And a couple years later you can achieve this with Midjourney.

Things are developing very fast and in the end of the day, even if we would never get an AI that can innovate art there is nothing stopping humans from just doing it themselves as we have always done over millennia. You can already greatly increase the creativity of existing image generators by tweaking the randomness factors and those algorithms don't just remix existing images, they are actually creating their own. You need the training set of existing labeled images to train the AI as it doesn't know what a frog is, nor a tree or anything really.

AI is just going to continue to remix remixes of remixes

This is indeed a concern. If you feed too much AI generated images into the training of an image generator it causes a sort of degenerative disease in the AI that results in inferior results. Some sort of AI incest so to speak. The prevalence of AI art on the internet and the inability to reliably differentiate it from human art is proving to be a challenge for making new training sets.

This was weeks ago and iirc referred to getting the blood of lathander without having to steal it.

Most of that number comes from some visual glitches or other minor stuff you might not even notice if you encounter it.

You can read through the entire list and it's mostly stuff like "fixed random skeleton dropping unspoiled food instead of rotten food"

So you know how annoying it is when someone tells you they know your gender better than you. That you are wrong about your gender and should do therapy to be the gender they think you should be? Oh, you do? Then please stop doing it. Thanks.
