I don’t know if I’d really call Tankie a slur just because “tankies” don’t use the term. That’s like saying Thatcherite, carpet bagger, TERF or brownshirt are slurs. You may not identify with the term but we have a long way to go before its a slur.

It is a decentralized open source communication protocol offered for the public’s use, which means people can modify their instances and generally do, say, or think anything they want in regards to the original founders of the project.

What the fuck?

The fediverse is a bunch of websites that talk to each other with the same protocol. If you’ve been banned from one, you can still talk on all the others. If you are banned on your home instance I am pretty sure you can still post on all the others.

Point out in the image file where this is relevant to the topic in the OP, please.

The AfD came second in the election, the best performance by a far-right party since World War Two.

I’m sure its fine.

The amount of dogshit takes from 2 week old to 3 month old accounts is absurd, Lemmy instances should institute a one month lurking period or something. Some fuckass actually posted Asmongold to a gaming group. Its a tidal wave.

I give you: every lynching ever under Jim Crow in the American South.

Mmmm an archived tweet, yummy current events, delicious breaking world news

I just got on Tuta and don’t want to do this every 3 years forever. Can you elaborate on Tuta upselling the customer? I just need reasonable encryption, basic mail service, and for my data not to be in the hands of psychopaths.

We don’t owe the future tall buildings, smog, and a persistant thread of civilizational narrative. Humans living on their own terms might just die.

Worm finally enters the mainstream. Yaaaaaaaaay.

Evil Felling_High_Horses be like:

Can you be more specific about what results should have shown up? When you include quotation marks around a seach term it specifically looks for instances of those terms.

I saw a BlackPeopleTwitter post yesterday where one local (so, black) user gave another Asian user a coveted “invite to the cookout” for posting some decently well meaning kinda intersectionalist words, and they ATE THE FORMER USER ALIVE, saying paraphrased obviously “we give this privelage out way too readily to people who evidence the bare minimum decency”. Some people want to gel so bad they jump the gun and so you can’t assume one minority giving you a privelage related to their community stands for all in the community. The paradox of the N-pass.

I dunno guys. Trump is talking about starting WW3 pretty openly. Its probably a distraction but we don’t get the benefit of ignoring an incoming president literally threatening war with our allies.

Boys are trained to avoid doing anything “girly”. It is everything from being encouraged toward military service to being socialized to be unhygenic on purpose or being trained never to cry. But people NEED safety, cleanliness, and vulnerability, those are human qualities. Boy and manhood is becoming increasingly detached from humanity to some. Most well adjusted people will realize everyone has feminine and masculine aspects and EVERYONE has basic human needs like… to cry when bad things happen.

For boys like Andrew Tate, Ben Shapiro, etc femininity is abhorrent, so masculinity has become an increasingly bitter imposition. What matters to them is defining themselves outside of femininity and any attempt to deduce what masculinity is or can be are irrelevant outside of that. Its the result of seeing sex as a caste system they’re at the top of. Queers and college professors come shaking the trees and they don’t want to fall out. So now manhood more than ever is about fucking loathing women and gays.

They said the artistic output was disposable not the input. Whether that matters is up fot debate.

I wholeheartedly agree with you and wish this post had gone better for you but it has to be said your point was obliterated by your obstinate defense of your complimentary AI image. Clearly people do not agree with your stance that your AI, though locally grown, open source, and energy efficient, is not in theory stealing. In my opinion, unfortunately, it sort of is stealing unless you source the input data yourself. I read somewhere in the thread you possibly did source your own data and thats really cool if so. But I think that it just goes to show that at least on Lemmy your receptive audience just… doesn’t like AI art in principle. I’ll say it universally looks groddy to me and I had the same gut reaction to seeing the art even though I like what it depicts and love the message (and title!).

Another thing is… Know your audience. The premise of this thread already means you were going to be engaging with prickly Marxist-Leninists to begin with… Since they do practice whatabohtism as you stated, they just need a thing to dig into to discredit you, and you sort of gave it to them. Not saying you have to be the perfect flawless diplomat with how you comport yourself online (god knows I’m not) but to an audience who aren’t receptive anyway your defense of your practices while not broadly clarifying the source of your training data is just going to lead them to thinking of you as a reactionary in favor of art regurgitation, indicating you are more about your aesthetic than your message. I think you have pirate party politics and I respect the long term vision of a world without constraints on how art is shared and understood, but this specific tool we’re discussing requires far more attention than not in order to be wielded ethically. People are gunshy just seeing it, even if theoretically they don’t know what you’re showing them is a home made original piece with original constituent data.

You can’t really wear a big hat on the internet that says ASK ME ABOUT MY ETHICAL OPEN SOURCE AI but perhaps you could have user flair in your nametag. On your blog you could caption your art with a disclaimer and a github link to the resources you use/used to build it.
