there was that one storyline in which he banged aunt may.

Historically, Jjj has been an upstanding guy. Sure he’s got a bone to pick with spiderman, but he could have sold out his photographer but he didn’t. He’s misguided in a lot of ways, but he’s got a strong moral compass that we all should strive for.

If you made all the training data yourself, or ethically acquired the training data, then go nuts do whatever you want with it. See Corridor Digital’s ai chroma key thingy.

If the training data isn’t ethically sourced, then it gets iffy.

I use ai primarily for my own entertainment. None of it are things I’d want to share with the world. Is “dicking around” justifiable? Eh. I eat meat and shop at amazon, both of which are things that some people would find “not justifiable”, so someone is going to be upset with me no matter what.

In the case of artistically, I don’t take offense to ai tools being part of a process, what’s important to me is that the ai isn’t the entire process. You wouldn’t go to a cinema, record the movie with your phone camera, then post it online saying “look at what I made”. That’s nonsense. But if you took clips of that same movie, rearranged and dubbed over them thus creating a new unique work, you could post that online and say “look what I made”. Whatever the ai output, no matter how detailed your prompt, should be treated as being made by someone else. You don’t get to say “look what I made” unless you actually do something with it.

Another use case is summarizing conversations and compiling notes. This is another one that I do often. I could go on for hours about a subject (usually while drunk) and at the end I tell it “compile a detailed report on everything discussed, be verbose and leave out no details” or something similar, and that output goes into my notes documents. It’s fine to copy pasta that, because it’s not going to be anything that anyone ever actually sees.

I don’t know if they’re still any good, but my go to suite back when I used to do this kind of thing regularly included C Cleaner, Revo Uninstaller, Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, and a couple others that I’ve forgotten the names of. Each tool had a specific function or two that I needed for fixing various issues.

Of course, a wipe and reinstall is the more effective option, and since windows itself is bloatware these days I’d recommend some flavor of linux. Personally, I’m having a good time with Mint.

I’ve changed my mind. Pennywise working at mcd’s because ronald is the vastly more successful killer clown is hilarious

I’d like to let people know that Sceptre still makes dumb tvs and they’re pretty good.

there’s legitimate complaints against valve, but I don’t think this is one of them.

blaming your own problems on women

I blame my problems on nazis and billionaires and white supremacists, but I described the same group thrice.

how do I stop doing something that I’ve never done?

At worst, I’m guilty of exaggeration. I’ve described my experience. You’ve described yours. We’re done here.

So how do I move into the universe you live in? Sounds better than the reality I’m in.

I block those posts when I see them, so no I don’t have links

sounds like today is a good day. To be fair, I only pay them a visit when they hit the all feed so my observation may be heavily skewed.

damn, nissan leaf is under served? I guess that product placement in sim city whichever fucking year glass box was didn’t pay off

Gimp is weird. However, if it doesn’t click with you there’s other options (depending on what kind of workflow you’re trying to do). Personally, I prefer Krita, but inkscape is also an option.

EDIT: i was just scrolling through alternativeto about photoshop and found photogimp, looks like a fork of gimp intended specifically for photoshop users.

see the list yourself

as far as I remember, this has only happened twice in recent years, last time being silksong.

love seeing small and/or independent devs show up the aaa’s.

I have a source I believe to be reliable about such topics, who probably would want to remain anonymous. If this isn’t true, then they’re fucking with me, which is entirely possible but I think unlikely about this.

It’s very specific, and you won’t be mistaken for one of them if you do it “wrong”, and you will do it “wrong” if you’re not in the know. I’m not in the know, so I don’t know how to do it, but I know someone who is (in the know, not in one of those groups).

If you want to know why men with basic decency are so oblivious, head on over to the womens stuff community and see how many posts boil down to “all men are rapists”. I’m friends with several real life women, and most of them hold that same opinion and have damn good reasons for it (“Except you glitch, you’re one of the good ones”). More than one have expressed to me that they hate being straight because they’ve never dated a man who hasn’t taken advantage of them.

So yeah, I’m not making a move on a lady, well mostly because I’m gay, but even if I wasn’t I wouldn’t unless she explicitly asked for it. (I’d also have to run it by my boyfriend, and ask if she wanted a threesome with us, but that’s another topic.)
