Welcome to the club.

Boredom? I’m not bored. I’m fucking terrified of the government and the people behind it.

Capitalism makes so many things terrible that you just have to go and fight against one of them, even if it’s only one part. Of course it’s technically Capitalism that made AI so horrible, and altho ideally neural networks are a very cool technology, practically they must be fought against to the hilt.

I’m very worried about this tool and who gets to control it.

I’m worried most about the insane power it uses. Just shut down the damn data centers.

Why do you need images that are so perfect? Why can’t you just be fine with doodling?

The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.” Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.

I wish this sub didn’t allow low-effort meme posts because it’s such a brain rot circle-jerk.

There are plenty of articles that are written out that you can read. AI takes immense energy to operate, for one. It uses a lot of water. Go down and read what journalists have written, and you’ll find that there are solid points against AI development that name-calling will not do justice.

The business of a king separates him from the world…

sometimes I need to make a PowerPoint and there’s an image that I think would convey a point.

Don’t worry, we’re all here to help you out.

1. You can use GIMP to put images on top of one another.
2. You can draw stick figures and other “shorthands” for objects.
3. There’s this video here that can show you other tools for illustration rather than using AI.
4. It’s also a good idea to get into a type of drawing, where instead of detailed illustration, it deals with visualizations such as maps, graphs, and flowcharts. You might want to practice that.

Also, you might just find an image that is pre-generated by some douchebag and ends up in your search results. The main thing you don’t want to do is generate any new material.

Suburban households and their culture have been a disaster for the human race.

Doodle on the back of a receipt. Just do it.

All of a sudden, so many things are “not protected speech”. I find it tempting to be as ignorant as a Republican, but I’d certainly be caught off guard in that case.

And share them with your friends. Learn from Lenin, learn from the Vietnamese, learn from Alpaca farms.

You jest, but even though I hate a lot about the Trump regime, I’m glad that it is eating out its own military capacity like this. It’s like when you’re incredibly sick in bed, and then it gets a little better for a while.

I mean, I certainly support Bernie. He will do a lot of good, but I’m tired of people worried about Stalin when Trump is worse.

Lemmy should be a place Bernie’s policies are celebrated

Make another instance. You have a Bernie community. I also do support Bernie Sanders, it’s just that we all know Trump is bad and saying so is redundant.

Lemmy is complicit in our march towards fascism and their lack of action is telling of their motivations

First of all, a social media site has no action. Regardless, I have seen tons of articles shared on here about how awful Trump is. Secondly, I have been working at food banks and engaging in protests. I’ve been emailing my senators, and getting people to support Cascadian Separatism, if not Bioregionalism, and letting them know about other ideas that would help. I am also disabled with PDD-NOS by my doctor when I was a toddler, despite this; I do my best to regularly meet people, learn from them, and tell them about my ideas. In fact, I’ve been voting in State elections and County elections for the candidates that I want, working my best at the State level if not the National level.

You had the perfect “marketing/advertising” and it didn’t work because people hate their government.

In an ideal scenario the US would have actual candidates that don’t want to dismantle democracy

In an ideal scenario there would be no federal government and all states would be split apart.

No, it’s more of a Mussolinist party. Stalin wasn’t that bad.

and from there to mugshots of the 9/11 attackers. Though the narration was inaudible, I believe that 9/11 was cited to justify the deployment of the men who appeared onscreen next

No way they’re still worried about 9/11. That was over 20 fucking years ago.
