  • The problem is that genAI isn’t good at creating new, distinct faces. It’s good at making approximations of faces based on heaps of visual information. It only makes sense that if you use the slop generator, you’re going to get a consistent, samey, lifeless pile of slop.

    In essence, stop pulling the slop lever expecting a fine crafted turkey dinner. You’re not pulling the turkey dinner lever, you’re pulling the pink slime lever.










  • Right, and that is commendable. Just please keep comments like “You guys seem like a fun bunch to hang out with” to yourself, it’s not really adding to the discussion and we don’t need snide remarks about the fear and uncertainty we feel in regards to the collapse of the global environment. Keep that chin up, don’t let people harsh your vibe, but please don’t push down when people are rightfully worried about the future. Things are going to be getting very hard for a lot of people a lot sooner than we were hoping for, it’s only natural that people are going to feel negatively about it.

    No traces of modern civilization left after a couple hundred years? Are the mountains of plastic in the planets testicles going to degrade in less time than the USA has existed? What of the monolithic concrete structures, millions of metallic motor vehicles, the snaking networks of asphalt roads, and the mountains of explosive devices still left in the soil across many parts of the world? How about the radioactive materials that’s trapped in burial sites packed beneath structures of concrete and leaded shielding? (Materials with half-lives longer than humanity has existed) Are those going to be completely wiped from existence in the time it took us to go from making the first petrol engine to creating dial-up internet?

    We’re STILL unearthing ruined cities, skeletons, and every day possessions from civilizations that existed for hundreds or thousands of years longer than the United States of America has existed for. Please link what sources made the claims you’re regurgitating.

    Edit: Fun profile name, by the way.


  • I don’t understand how anybody can discuss the state of our climate collapse in any positive light.

    “I mean hey, the oceans are acidifying faster than we expected, and the AMOC is slowing down, and the ice sheets are melting rapidly, and the ocean is swallowing our coastlines, and global temperatures have jumped significantly in the last several years, and the overall climate has been becoming more extreme and dangerous over the years, and we’re pumping shit into the atmosphere at record paces, and more parts of the earth are becoming uninhabitable, and we’re also dealing with stronger more intense storms and hurricanes, and there’s plastic poisoning everything and everyone everywhere, and we keep dumping heavy metals into the groundwater, and animal populations are declining, but hey, keep that chin up! Don’t listen to those negative nancies, they’ll harshen your vibe.”
