Because of the desire for infinite growth. The line must go up 💹

Then the speed needs to be reduced.

Can’t they just write an ‘AI’ to ask an artist for permission then? I’ll bet they can. It’s just that most artists will say no unless they get paid. So, their business model, based on theft, is not sustainable. Got it.

A friend of mine should be landing in LA today. He’s a cis white man though, and I think should be fine. Hopefully.

However, for anyone not cis male, white and speaks English, I wouldn’t recommend at all. There seems to be a common denominator for anyone who doesn’t fit that profile… I’m glad I visited least year before all this shit went down. I would’ve been detained for sure.

Hmmmm. I’m sure you’d also say that slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength etc.?

Yeah… Nah…

Aww… He’s like a grey Garfield

Well… They had Madonna on some years ago and that failed spectacularly when she lip synced the entire act…

I don’t think Eurovision would work with America in it because of American exceptionalism. That’s why you’ll stick to your national song contests.

This is the opposite of that 'teach a man to fish and he’ll never grow hungry" etc.

Wow. Ok. I’m not going to argue with you further because your understanding of AI is odd at best and at worst just plain wrong. Enjoy your prompts.

However, it’s not really free, is it?

1. It’s stolen
2. It uses enormous amounts of resources
3. It steals your creations to feed itself
4. Go to Step 1

Say you want to make a living off your creations. You’ve gotten really good, people love it. You can actually make bank for your hard work.

But this machine stops you. It takes all your creations and all the money for itself. You get nothing for your efforts.

You’ve tried, yes, but have you learned? Practiced? People don’t automatically know how to draw. They practice for years. Give it a few more thousand tries.

Agreed but let’s be honest, that would’ve relied on people voting for their best interests and, as always, Australians generally vote governments out. The safest way to vote out Liberal is to vote Labor and, so, we have a majority.

Or… Learn how to draw?

Make video games or digital interactive art pieces for VR

All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They’ve never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.

See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.

My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.

I really can’t wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.

I use Waterfox but I’ll try that too. Would suck because I like Waterfox.

Noted. Will try that! Thanks

Thanks. I think they do ok in New Zealand though with the Maori.
