Boomers entered the world in a (relatively) peaceful post-war boom. They had drugged-out sexually liberated young adulthoods pre-aids. They made a shit ton of money while greed was good in the 80s, raised kids during the quiet security of the 90s, and get to leave before everything falls apart.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this WONDERFUL12-frame HAIR animation, by the talented @willowslinda on tumblr! Note how the motion of the different sections is OFFSET by a few frames, creating a much more sophisticated rhythm to the cycle! #anime #manga #animation

Nice thing about Minneapolis being kinda small is that it’s hard to convince us protesters are being paid because you’d go out and oh there’s that kid from my high school who played Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha one year, and is that the pharmacist at my CVS over there, and there goes our realtor

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect.

The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.
From Dare Obasanjo on Mastodon. Adobe is hitting the floor. #AI

Because it's popular to share sources to build your own refs outside of A/ ridden platforms, here's my drive of pictures I took at armor exhibitions. I took these with my phone, some of them suck but they are pretty detailed. You're welcome to use them as ref.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female.
But the heart and soul have much more personality.
It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words.
