Boy are the Americans learning that the hard way.

Where is this from?

Librarian Ferret!

Cus there isn't a single logistical issue with sending the National Guard against Federal Agents!

Look! what do you expect him to do? Get at a protest and tell his people to get their guns?

The "peace" is so Drump doesn't have a reason to use the Insurr act. He's trying anyways, with no luck.

As someone who's hired cover artists... they are expensive. Like, $300-$2000 per cover.

Even if buying premade images... either its like a couple-hundred bucks, or its likely genAI slop anyways.

Remember, some of us aren't loaded. Humans are great, but expensive.

And TBF to the professors, the comic teacher is teaching you how to draw, the screenplay teacher is teaching you how to write. Neither is an expert in the other and won't mark that.

So if they wouldn't be marking you on these things, then what's wrong with milktoast AI as filler?

I think we need a realistic understanding of genAI.

For writing/art/etc that is highly formulaic, genAI will replace human makers of this. Think ads, corp-pop, product descriptions.

Think jugs. If all you want is a container to carry water a factory's got you covered. If you want it pretty...

Guardrails. Important.

That's off my chest. This world is getting scary and it feels like it gets worse by the day.

Canada, the leader of the free world now. That should scare everyone, including fellow Canadians.

Within a decade, the USA will be 3 countries: New York (with northern USA), California (With the west coast) and CAS (the rest of the USA and, maybe, Alberta)

USA isn't the leader of the free world anymore. Trump can't be. I've heard from @meidastouch.com that honour goes to Canada and Carney.

I say this as a Canadian, who lives in the fear of USA invading us at anytime. The fact that Trump and his people can even give orders they have no auth to give, and have yet to be deposed tells the rest of the world you have declined.

Within a decade, the USA will be 3 countries, no unity.

USA is lost. To protect your communities from Trump lawlessness, it will require acts that will proc the Insurrection Act.

You can't remain pacifist forever while your neighbours are being murdered. Yes, this might mean going toe-to-toe with your own military.
