It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We reached funniest of all time when Rick And Morty did Pickle Rick.

The other angle is he knows this sucks but it's his AI so he has to say it's funny

Funny enough it's not even his AI. He is just running an image generator that came out recently called "Flux".

"Grok" is a concept from a Robert Heinlein novel. This is the most melon-musk thing possible.

I always find it hilarious that Paul Verhoeven apparently read about 10 pages of Starship Troopers before throwing it out in disgust

privately owned

He doesn't own shit in this case, he just had one of his lackeys make whatever LLM he ripped off for his chatbot prompt a Flux server instance. Flux itself is open source, has nothing to do with him or anything he's touched, and runs on midrange consumer hardware. It's also as horrifying as it is fascinating, because despite only a modest increase in system requirements over Stable Diffusion it's starting to lack the really obvious flaws that earlier models have.

Anything generated by AI is going to be low quality slop just due to the very nature of how these images are produced. Because it can only cobble together existing images, it’ll never truly -

These systems aren't intelligent because they're not trying to develop a langford basilisk to put us out of our collective misery.

Edit: the "langford basilisk" is a concept from science fiction of an image that for whatever reason causes damage to the human mind. Usually the conceit is it encodes information the mind can't process resulting in a severe seizure or similar outcome. David Langford explored the idea in some depth starting with a short story called B.L.I.T which is a meditation on terrorism, weapons proliferation, hate, the dangers of rapid scientific discover, and also a Nazi gets pwned

I mean it gave me a sensible chuckle, that picture is not without humor at all. But the funniest picture ever? It's not even the funniest picture I saw today. Peezer was funnier by far.
