There's plenty of art that I don't value the human element of at all. I don't think any of the Corporate Memphis blob people on tech sites or the designs on a billboard are "sacred," for instance, but they are unambiguously art. If you do these things with generative AI, I won't regret the loss of human involvement.

Art done to express something human will never go away as long as people feel a need to express themselves that way. Companies will hire fewer graphics designers, true, but I don't really give a fuck to be honest.

I also think means-testing serves mostly to create resentment instead of a society that we are all bought into and able to reap the benefits of.

I'd also like to hear opinions. I just set up a 10 gallon planted tank with Java ferns, a cryptocoryne, a dwarf water lily bulb, and some dwarf hair grass.

The dwarf hair grass is not doing well, turning white in many places. Not enough CO2? That would be a bummer, I'm not setting up an expensive CO2 infuser for a 10 gallon tank.

The others seem to be doing fine. Half on the java ferns are producing plantlets, the crypt sprouted a new leaf, and the lily is growing new sprouts every day.

What's that twisty plant you have there?

People pretending it's not useful and/or not improving all the time are living in their own worlds. I think you can argue the legality and the ethics, but any anti-ai position based on low quality output ("it can't even do hands!") has a short shelf-life.

Yes, they could limit their reach even further by only using the fediverse.

Admins had the ability to see the votes if they really wanted to anyway by looking at the database, you just made it a lot easier.

I think if you blocked the person who posted this you'd see a big reduction. It's usually the same account posting Musk news.

What content is illegal?

Yeah, I was just taking the challenge of trying to rationalize it.

Local by default, option to go remote. Even the privacy-first types might want to offload that to a more powerful local machine.

They could even sell access to a Mozilla provided AI server like they do with the VPN service.
