Classic mod.

The people downvoting you better be as consistent when it comes to Australias tobacco packaging.

From Wikipedia

Around the late 14th century in Europe, smaller and portable hand-held cannons were developed, creating in effect the first smooth-bore personal firearm.

Did you know it would have been impossible for Denethor to run the distance across the courtyard of Minas Tirith while on fire?

They want to complain about the glasses, but all the salient points in the thread have been made, so they went with whatever.

That’s an aggressive response. No wonder you agree with Scorsese. You obviously have decided what art and film are, and everyone elses subjective opinion (because it’s fucking art, not math) is wrong.

But really, the first comment, the one with more upvotes than you, is right. This is no different thatln some white dude telling you rap isn’t real music, and classical is the only artful form of music. And of course a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals will agree, because it makes you feel fancy.

Are you old, too?

We can continue the music analogy again, if you’d like.

That’s a conclusion for sure.

They deorbit very quickly.

you’re the one doing each and every brushstroke, deciding each and every detail as you draw.

Does Photoshop or any digital art not count? I don’t have to have the skill to draw a perfect circle?

good photography takes skill.

So we should artificially handicap the art at the expense of the lesser abled?

Whereas for AI art, all you’re doing is providing instruction to the AI, that then goes on to make all these decisions

Same as clicking a button on a camera at something that just happens to be beautiful. Does it matter if someone next to me is using the same ISO or exposure?

I don’t have to realize the complexity of lighting, shaders, or materials to render a scene in Unreal. I get to utilize the processes that pioneers before me discovered.

I understand the frustrations, but this seems stifling in the same way that cotton-gin-phobes, typewriter-phobes, and computer-phobes wpuld have stifled the ability of the average joe to accomplish something.

To what degree do you consider AI involvement to be the deal-breaker. My phone uses something arbitrarily akin to generative AI to sharpen photos. If I take a photo with my phone of something novel, should I be able to copywrite that photo?

If I use an AI generated image and spend 24 hours manually tweaking and modifying it, do I have a right to copywrite?

If I use an LLM to synthesize an idea that I then use to organically create art, is it lesser art?

It all seems so arbitrary at this point. It’s like a typist in 2005 arguing that digital word processors shouldn’t be used to create copywritable art, as it takes significantly less work.

Another good thing Trump ruined. Relations were repairing under Obama.

Russia is actively conscripting people. The U.S. has had an entirely ‘volunteer’ force for 50 years.

You’re only saying that because he’s white a la Beck’s 1994 hit ‘Loser’ and since Beck is white that makes you racist?

No, we voted for the older guy this time.

When “Don’t let people post pictures of my son’s dick” becomes “China will disappear you if you call Winnie the Pooh a dictator as a citizen of China”.

We know about it. You’re like a Libertarian acting like they have secret knowledge when they tell you you still have to pay taxes for Universal healthcare.

Was that the show with the green wireframe CGI animals that they would show duking it out and eating wireframe people?

Which domains are least likely to ban you for equivalating using statistics to cull animals to eugenics and trepanning?

I think .world is slowly transitioning towards reddit.shitty. in how heavy handed the moderation is. Interesting that comments advocatin for the literal murder of cops is allowed but saying “13 % of dogs commit 90% of crime” is a bannable offense.

Which domains have the least arbitrary moderation tools?

Also: Cops are generally pigs.

Or: To put things on topic. .World has made relatively unilateral decisions regarding the health of the domain. Which domains have a more democratic regard for what is and isn’t appropriate? If lemmy is going to be a more poorly paid Reddit, I’d rather go to the place with more than 1 new commented-on post per hour.
