Besides of tracing AI, the other trick fake artists use is to (badly) convert AI generated images to pixelart.

There’s an era-correct way to create low-res and low-color images from high-res images. I’m not going to tell how it’s done, to keep the fake artists at bay.

P Didler is black.

Go back to ML!

“Digging a hole” is more of a metaphor. Could also be applied to putting a lot of effort and time into any craft that looks and sounds meaningless on the surface. I work on an open-source game engine for at least a decade (to save myself, usually I only work a few hours on it at once), but I’m also looking into building my own guitar pedals, and maybe once I can start making headless guitars out of carbon fiber and with neodymium pickups, the ultimate sacrilige against guitar traditionalist snobs.

ICE will deport this bird.

I want to get this book, then make a video essay on it titled “What the meme gets wrong about the meme book”.

Mythbusters

And they’ll bust it with their tried and tested method for failure: trying to court the right by moving right and abandoning leftist causes.

There’s even an em dash out of place, a telltale sign of AI models.

4chan reinvented the Torment Nexus argument for 4chan users.

Even better: put periodic OS checks, to make sure it’s not being hacked out from the Chromium instance, to then being ran on a different OS.

Are there any video essays on PornHub? Bonus if they’re actual port with actual information.

Reminder that

• Epic Games, unlike Steam, is subsidizing sales. So instead your own money, it’s some Chinese oligarch’s money, that will go into Joanne Karen Rowling’s TERF war chest, who’re betting on Epic instead of Steam.
• Joanne is also anti-porn, and Collective Shout are TERFs, so there’s a good chance that the TERF war chest also funds the war on porn, and by extension, war on human self-expression.

A lot of it is done by hustle bros.

AI is only looks good if you’re an outsider to the profession. The moment you’re even an amateur, you’ll see all of its faults. It’s just a plagiarizing machine with a built-in contextual search function (any AI model that runs as an actual contextual search instead of a wannabe assistant with a flattering personality?), that can make some crappy looking and weirdly specific clip art, stock music with funny-sounding gimmicks, and buggy code you’d better plagiarize from public domain licensed code from Github.

sometimes not reliable source of information

Let me fix that!

usually not reliable source of information

It’s just good enough for some shallow searches, especially with Google and internet search in general being poisoned with SEOed garbage floating to the top, which nowadays is SEOed and AI generated slop. I often have to go to sites that are old enough to be sure they’re not AI generated, or are vetted that they’re not made by some AI bro, as a side hustle towards their first million. One Linux article I no longer able to find made a Linux installation of mine borked, had to reinstall my Raspberry Pi, and the then new installer really didn’t want me to let set a different region and language at first, so I had to switch back to English after finishing the setup.

Yeah, I know, I’m too disappointed in the remaining Static-X members.

Conservatism, contrary to its lifestyle marketing image of “preserving tradition and nationality”, is about preserving hierarchies. Those on top not only have a moral duty to trample on those under them, but also to externalize their tastes and distastes to those below them, including those “weird people making weird hand gesturing in the corner of the TV”.

AI corpos like the far-right, because petty dictators like to make random things illegal, which is a perfect opportunity to sell surveillance AI tech.

AI will make sure, you won’t be gay even in the closet.
