I have this cart!

And it's a crushing blow to the potential profitablity of those AI models and their owners

Why would you want to help????

Because liberalism erodes at rational thought and empathy until all that remains is a husk screaming platitudes while feasting on the flesh and blood of others

Communist isn't an "identity" you brain-rotted ghoul

At least you aren't the wrong S piece...

Apparently her being Jewish can only be sourced from a single Nazi website, which makes it wonder where he even heard that in the first place

Lovecraft's wife was also Jewish, so what? Racists have been marrying women from their targets of hatred for as long as racism has existed, it's a form of control and dominance

Bonus points if you can guess my name

A character with a confused identity, trapped in a body that isolated her from both sides of her parentage, found meaning and peace becoming a mother figure to a found family of children gathered in the ruins of a post-apocalypse, and finally realized the potential of her power to protect that

we got a generation of clumsy, awkward, crude polygon games that have mostly aged like milk.

But I'm not complaining too hard about it, because of course that painful step had to be taken at some point to get where we are today.

It was certainly unfortunate for us, now, but at the time it was a very reasonable, if ruthless, decision on the part of executives, because the hype about 3D was real. So instead of a generation filled with gorgeous, finely rendered, and artistically advanced pixel games,

Absolutely want revenge against the ringleaders tho. The ones who just thought stuff can live, because they aren't important enough to waste the effort

And you are right on the arcade point as well, though in this case it's less because of the length and more because arcade games were even *more* expensive to produce

Even Symphony of the Night *almost* didn't get released for that reason. Igarashi had to fight for it

My guess is the executive decided that because the genre and graphics were outdated for the market at that time, it wouldn't recoup the costs of production

And, because machines cannot in fact be creative, because they are ultimately algorithmic at root however much their developers wish to obscure it, what you are really doing is outsourcing the creative role to the unpaid artists whose work was stolen and processed to create the algorithm

but that's fundamentally different from involving AI in the core, creative process of deciding what you actually want to make and what you want it to look like. Crossing that line changes your role from a creative one into a merely facilitative one

Now, I'm a bit softer than some people on AI in art, possibly because my definition of the term is broader - I think things like texture brushes and software that automatically balances polygon scaling in 3D models is fine, the same way all technological innovations in digital art are,

It literally is not a creative tool, but a *labor saving* tool. The moment you use it as part of your creative process, to that extent you stop being an artist and start being merely a software user, even irrespective of the moral issues of theft, environmental damage, etc

The obvious proof is that to date, not a single person using GenAI for any part of their art has accomplished a single thing that hasn't been accomplished by artists prior to the development of GenAI

We're the only ones in history to have ever defeated it, in fact

I'm a Marxist-Leninist communist, there is nobody who takes fascism more seriously than we do

Crazy when you play a retro game with completely modern sensibilities and a critical eye and find out it's actually not all nostalgia glasses lol

I beg to differ; the Democrat party has supported fascists all over the world ever since WWII, just like the Republican one

Restaurants get so ripped off by online orders tbh, this is completely fair

No, not really, it's just that the violence is finally threatening to affect the lives of white Americans again, that's all

Actually with AI (or at least LLMs) it's just garbage out, regardless of what you put in

"Our random word generator has started randomly generating sad words, this proves the singularity is real"

It's because there has been a strong and persistent drive by major tech monopolies to make hard backups, and even storage in general, more expensive and less convenient in order to force cloud backups, which are more easily monetized and controlled, on an unwilling market
