I haven't yet come to terms with all the crazy things that have happened in the last 4 years, but I'm now getting the feeling that I can pretty much say goodbye to over half of my friends due to differences in opinion about Covid, AI, and NFTs. On the plus side, none of it is Trump related, but I'm not yet sure about Israel/Palestine and it kind of scares me to think that even more things can come up that will further isolate me. It's crazy.
One nightmare scenario is that OpenAI and Midjourney effectively win the plagiarism battle and they’re embraced as industry standards, not because they’re right, but just because enough people were stupid enough to say it’s ok to use them.
In some ways it’s like car culture and the fossil fuel industry where despite all the harm they do to humans and the environment, acceptance by the majority basically seals our fate.
If I told the 16 year old version of myself that I make art for hackers using #AI and #robots, he would struggle to understand why I feel guilty about it even slightly.
Yeah, and I've set up and tore down this stage with my own two hands
We've traveled this land packed tight in minivans
And all this for the fans, girls, money and fame
I played their game
And as they scream my name
I will show no shame
I live and die for this
And if I come off soft then chew on this!
Are you scared?
Die Hauptfunktion des Internets ist und bleibt natürlich die Verbreitung von Katzenbildern und -videos. Dem kann ich mich natürlich auch nicht ganz verschliessen ... #caturday#kitten#mouse#generativeart#midjourney
Hi, @RamenCatholic, I hope this isn't too much of an intrusion, but I saw your account/username somewhere and I just HAD to do this with Midjourney... :kek:
