Exactly what I was thinking!

🎵She’s got that long-ass snoot. Boots with the fur🎵

Lucky we’ve got you to set us all straight, huh?

Will do 👍 Make sure you keep spouting the same Doomer bullshit over and over, I’m sure it’s really helping! 👍

Exactly, well said

Pack it in guys! A random person on Lemmy has told us it’s all over! Stop everything we’re doing and do nothing!

Yes and no. He’s had more serious roles like Life, Safe House, Buried, Smokin’ Aces etc. He certainly has a ‘type’ but at the moment it feels like you could just lift-and-shift his character from one film to another and noone would notice.

I’d like Ryan to return to more serious roles. He’s a decent actor but he just ends up playing the same character in everything at the moment; he’s getting predictable and typecast imo.

I find it crazy that Black Ops, a series that’d surely sell gangbusters with minimal marketing thanks to word of mouth, gets a marketing budget bigger than the GDP of a small country. Yet a new IP that noone has heard of yet gets a far smaller budget. It seems completely back to front, to me.

I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you saying that fan art cannot, by it’s very nature, by classed as original and therefore shouldn’t be able to be sold?

I have yet to meet any artist with this kind of deep anti-AI sentiment

Unfortunately this isn’t the case. Just look at the anti AI discourse from people like Steven Zapata or Karla Ortiz, or the discussion on platforms like Mother’s Basement or Art Cafe. There are plenty of artists who absolutely believe that AI art is worthless, without merit and is coming to destroy ‘real artists’.

I think that’s an overly simplistic description of how LLMs work, but I take your point. My response would be: how is a LLM trained on other artists work any different to a human artist taking inspiration from other human artists? Is an artist who creates fan art of Batman also derivative? In your argument it’s a clear breach of copyright, so should we be going after anyone who has ever drawn a picture of Batman as having broken the law?

You forgot to mention ‘AI slop’…

Well said. These anti AI arguments tend to be a prime example of protectionism. ‘Technology is great until it comes for my area of expertise, in which case my area of expertise must be protected at all costs because my work has greater value’.

This is the book this is based on: https://simonstalenhag.se/es.html

This film appears to bear only superficial resemblance to the art in question. It also pisses me off that the trailer doesn’t even mention Simon in the first place.

The developer of Thorium (a Chromium based browser) has stated they intent to maintain older functionality for as long they’re able.

Most likely you’re correct, but I was basing my assumption from the following:

However, the Port Authority of NSW said no oil spills had been reported by vessels.

Time may tell I guess…

Natural undersea oil leak somewhere?

All of which should be done by human beings. Period.

Currently, maybe. But technology is fantastic at accuracy, better than humans in many regards. Gemini might have a way to go before it gets there, but it or its successors will get there and it’s moving fast.

Productivity is irrelevant here

I’m not sure it is. Productivity also refers to efficiency of services. If AI can make the services of the National Archives more productive for its staff and/or the public then surely that’s a good thing?
