  • Can I use A.I generated pics for book cover to sell?

    Jump

  • And my friend, as an artist selling your work, you could also think about this as an opportunity to connect with another artist and work together. Commission a work for your cover from a small artist, credit them prominently. They will share it with their community, you will share it with yours. Lift others up and be uplifted in turn

  • Did you know the world was protesting against Trump on inauguration day? Or was this news hidden from you?

    Jump

  • Yeah that is concerning honestly. Three days wasted on nothing but arguing whether or not he is a nazi. Reddit banning twitter links is bigger news than the ICE raid

  • Did you know the world was protesting against Trump on inauguration day? Or was this news hidden from you?

    Jump

  • Yes?

    Do we have some reason to believe that information about these protests (from three days ago, which we are currently discussing and looking at photos of) is being suppressed on lemmy? Or was being suppressed? Would that be evident in checking the mod logs?

    Edit: even OP just said in another comment that they “saw an article about it” after all. I guess I just don’t understand the framing of the question

  • I’m seeing it on lemmy right now

  • Trump in disbelief as bishop calls him out in inaugural prayer

    Jump

  • Well, it’s basically an offshoot of the church of England, which may explain why it’s so overrepresented. Got brought along to the colonies.

    Also I wouldn’t call it a progressive faith per se, historically speaking. Iirc there were a lot of internal divisions and different groups splintered off and formed their own things when the pro LGBT stuff was initially decided. So it’s hard to say what an Episcopalian from say 100 years ago might have in common with the modern church

  • Episcopalians are functionally like a more equality oriented catholic. Gay marriage is chill, women can be priests, divorce is chill. That type of stuff

  • Has anyone here learnt to draw at a later age, like 30+? What has been your experience and process?

    Jump

  • I got started pretty recently!

    I wanted a cheap drawing tablet for taking whiteboard style handwritten notes for a totally different project.

    Decided since I had it I would play around with making some art. I ended up really enjoying it! It’s super relaxing.

    Basically I just have Krita, which is free. Then I’ll take photographs or otherwise source images that I might want to paint, and try to recreate them as a reference. NOT tracing, but having the image side by side with the drawing. I find that to be the best for learning. I’m primarily a musician, and that’s how I was taught to learn music as well (listen to a piece and try to recreate it).

    I checked out a few youtube videos about colors as well. Similar to above, I knew I didn’t want to just use a color picker to match the reference image (and I think the result would be bad anyway). So I watched how oil painters and watercolor people made their colors by eye, and have tried to recreate that process in Krita. This part has been the most fascinating, a lot of times your brain tells you you’re looking at a certain color, but because of shadows and lighting and stuff you have to know to choose a totally different color to produce that effect.

    I’m pretty happy with it and I want to keep practicing so I can hand paint my own album art someday! 30+ too of course, altho now that I know I enjoy it I wish I had started much earlier

  • Biden administration warns against forced surgeries on intersex children in historic report

    Jump

  • So, no, definitionally that is not binary. Can’t have four options in a binary.

    What you’re describing is actually a bimodal distribution. This is when the data congregates strongly around two peaks, but there are also many entries along a spectrum between them

  • Kamiki Village from Okami, seems like it would be a very chill and beautiful place most of the time. Great hiking, views, food and booze

  • AI needs to stop

    Jump

  • The fact that you’ve been reduced to blabbering about such mundane things in the style of “the ghosts in pac-man technically had AI” tells us everything we need to know here. Have fun arguing with me in the shower about whether or not current trends are just a result of marketing executives finally being liberated to appropriately label the AI they’ve been using for 70 years

  • AI needs to stop

    Jump

  • Yeah it doesn’t seem like a bad washer, just don’t appreciate them jumping on the AI bandwagon. It’s manipulative

  • AI needs to stop

    Jump

  • Do you have an example of an AI system being deployed to do these things or is it, as I said, pure hypothetical tech bro logic?

    But yeah it basically squirts some water in at the top, then analyzes the water that reaches the bottom (and how much) to infer the fabric types. That same information is then considered when dispensing detergent and fabric softener. Simple sensors and tables

  • AI needs to stop

    Jump

  • Those features are literally unrelated to AI, just so you know. It’s comparing sensor outputs to a table. Like all modern laundry machines. The inclusion of “AI” on the label is purely to take advantage of people like you who instantly believe whatever they’re told, even of it’s as outlandish as “your laundry has been optimized” lol

  • AI needs to stop

    Jump

  • No, it couldn’t. That’s pure tech bro logic without any basis whatsoever in reality.

    The machines already have these sensors. There’s simply nothing for “intelligence” to contribute to the process. It’s not enough for you to point to the presence of various sensors and claim it could do something with them when in reality this is already a solved problem. Additionally, the hypothetical AI-equipped machine itself will also be worse, using significantly more energy and being less reliable.

    I say hypothetical, because the specific LG machine we’re talking about doesn’t even actually have any AI component. Yes I am aware of the difference between generative and analytical models; it has neither. Just normal sensors and algorithms that all modern washing machines have had for years. They threw the “AI” language on it to market it to people. You know, like a scam. Because the delightful thing about “AI” is you don’t need to provide any benefit to your marks, their imagination will do the work for you

  • AI needs to stop

    Jump

  • Respectfully, there’s no universe in which any type of AI could possibly benefit a load of laundry in any way. I genuinely pity anyone who falls for such a ridiculous and obvious scam

  • Did non-RGB mechanical keyboards cease to exist? Can anyone recommend some?

    Jump

  • Gotten two boards from them, great experience both times. Highly recommended

  • Suppose we learn the CEO was killed over something ordinary and the shooter was a basic murderer. What does the reaction to this death say, if anything about this moment in history?

    Jump

  • Well, the bullets had the motive written on them in sharpie, so I don’t think there’s any chance this is a random murder, right?

  • Republican senator introduces bill to abolish US Department of Education

    Jump

  • Man why are we fantasizing about this. What’s the reddest state you can think of, Texas? 42% blue. Florida? 43%. Even in ridiculous places like North Dakota, 1/3 of the people voted blue. What happens to them when blue states form their little utopia?
