Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • I'm taking the bait.

    The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn't his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that's still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

    And this isn't the same as line tracing or referencing other's art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

    If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

    This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It's drawn from the work of humans.

    Moreover, I don't want to remove the human element from art ever.

  • How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing?
  • Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.

    This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.

    The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.

  • Kamala Harris unveils populist policy agenda, with $6,000 credit for newborns
  • Yes, you see.. i want the taxes I pay to go to helping people. We could instead, say, stop giving as much to the DoD. We could raise taxes on corporations and close off shore loopholes.. you know, basic good governance.

  • Bangladesh's Sheikh Hasina alleges US role in ouster, says could've remained in power if she surrendered sovereignty of Saint Martin Island
  • I too was infantry. And muscle memory doesn't necessarily mean always being engaged to the process, it means being able to return to the necessary posture when needed.

    It wasn't uncommon for us to rest our hands on our rifles too when we didn't need to be actively engaged in the current situation in any hostile fashion.

  • These guys aren't in some kind of parade or ceremonial display, nor do they appear to be at a guard post.

    They're just soldiers standing by. In that situation there's no need for a uniform display to impress anyone. Keeping soldiers at drill precision 100% all thetime is a good way to fatigue soldiers who don't need to be perfect quickly.

    Besides which, all of them have a hand near their trigger guards and most have hands resting on the barrel of their weapons so are reasonably prepared if someone does try something.

  • Fight me on it
  • Your number 2 is based around cultural, not species differences. Two humans raised in two different cultures could end up very different.

    There could be two tribes of goblins. One that began eating people out of desperation and now just do it because it's tradition. The other could have grown up in close relationships with their nongoblin neighbors and are seen as a valuable part of their region.

    So untying evilness to their race isn't being race blind or pretending people down have struggles - it's removing the shoehorning that occurred.

  • What's your thoughts on Sony pushing PSN down on PC gamers' throats?
  • I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

    Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it's not enforces from day 1, doesn't change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

    People don't have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.

  • Just finished binging the Fallout show, would recommend
  • I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was...okay.. Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn't act like complete morons most of the time.

    They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.

    I understand them going for humor but.. I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.

    While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.

    Also I don't understand why they added the thing about ghouls.
