It’s also not so much an issue of opening up access to creating art to the masses vs how this is making art. The ai is limited to what’s being fed into it, which is other artists work. I consider ai art the same as someone tracing a bunch of images and compiling them together. It’s cool but it is limited. And unfortunately those who do not understand what goes into creating new and unique art will not understand why the concept artist is charging so much more than the ai company.
Mass Manufacturing of plates and cups did not destroy the profession of the potter completely. But it did make buying hand made plates and cups significantly more expensive with way less people doing the craft.
Boycotting a car company….. maybe I’m in the minority but I try to not buy cars all that frequently. I want to get 10-15 years or more out of a car before needing to replace it. So if you are not immediately in the market for a car how will the company feel the effect of a boycott? Like do they imagine in 8 years they are still going to be upset over Elon suggesting an end of a war that many of them are not involved in? It’s like if I vocally stated I’m boycotting Bugatti. I’ve never bought a car made by Bugatti, I’m not in the tax bracket that can afford a Bugatti, but somehow I’m going to boycott Bugatti. I know Tesla is significantly more affordable, but cars are not products bought at a high enough frequency where a boycott would be very noticeable.

I was actually originally referring to another post but it turns out to be a different but similarly messed up person… but the alphabet mafia has been pushing this thing of “found family” which is essentially just groomers continuing to groom younger damaged kids
Unfortunately the internet is just a large vector for transmission. This chick probably took the wrong classes and made the wrong friends early in college that lead her down this path. Tiktok is used by her to pat herself on the back and give herself confirmation bias that this wasn’t a colossal mistake. Healthy kids not exposed to this nonsense previously do not see this on tiktok and think cool I’m going to do that. It’s the damaged ones or the ones who for some reason believe their crazy leftist professor.
This dude is not only not embarrassed his wife had cookies made by a stranger about his highly personal medical procedure, but he is dumb enough to post them for more people to see. There are plenty of reasons to get a vasectomy….. none of which require you share it with others.
Yep that’s why, and it’s even more important in this conflict than the western forces in the Middle East because both sides use soviet/Russian vehicles and equipment primarily.
