I sympathize, it’s a flaw of our 2 party system. If one party goes off the rails the other one has a low bar to clear and it can stagnate real progress.

I said there’s significant support on both sides, not insignificant.

I think your confusion is coming from the blame part, anyone who didn’t vote for Biden who was able to has some blame imo. We’re literally talking about a vote to preserve democracy, any subsequent vote is pointless.

But that’s my stance, others may assign blame differently. As you noted, some people might try to put blame specifically on this set of voters, to each their own.

So they will help put someone in power that will remove fair elections? That makes no sense as a long term plan, imo it’s more likely they are trying to push democrats a certain way but are not truly entertaining the notion of voting for a fascist.

the original post suggested not worrying about appeasing certain people on the issue as there is a significant support from all sides.

That’s different than whether people who didn’t vote for Biden can be blamed for anything. When democracy itself is on the ballot it’s hard to justify voting against it, regardless of some foreign policy grievance.

You would think that but it isn’t always so clear. My college had a sizable chunk, if not a majority, of foreign Chinese students and they were extremely patriotic/nationalist.

But to be fair maybe those who never left China are even more patriotic, I wouldn’t know.

It’s super fast in comparison to full IDEs and is easier to use than most editors. I switch between vscode and notepad++ depending on what im doing.

Aside from the fact that your comment applies to photography as well, I think it’s fair to point out image generation can also be a complex pipeline instead of a simple prompt.

I use ComfyUI on my own hardware and frequently include steps for control net, depth maps, canny edge detection, segmentation, loras, and more. The text prompts, both positive and negative, are the least important parts in my workflow personally.

Hell sometimes I use my own photos as one of the dozens of inputs for the workflow, so in a sense photography was included.

I actually do work with AI but whatever, if you have something specific you’d like to argue go for it. Otherwise let’s not get into a pissing contest over credentials

Hard disagree, the neural connections in the brain can be modeled with matrix math as well. Sure some people will be uncomfortable with that notion, especially if they believe in spiritual stuff outside physical reality. But if you’re the type that thinks consciousness is an emergent phenomenon from our underlying biology then matrix math is a reasonable approach to representing states of our mind and what we call thoughts.

Why not? Same as a person being inspired to reuse certain aspects. Artists reuse other artists work constantly and usually more blatantly than what AI does.

I wouldn’t want to copyright every visual pattern conceivable, everything would be a copyright violation of some sort.

The lists are fortunately pre-installed with ublock-origin, just need to enable all lists within options: Built-in, Ads, Privacy, Malware, Multipurpose, and Annoyances

EDIT: I spoke too soon, saw another popup today

EDIT: Ignore the following, the next day the popup message returned unfortunately

I can confirm, I was getting the popup message yesterday with ublock-origin and was able to fix it by not only updating my filters but also subscribing to all the optional filters. It seems the default lists don’t have a fix yet but one of the optional ones does.

Who the heck is proposing we value that? Everyone is saying we value the safety of real children which may entail keeping artificial CP legal.

Also it’s a victimless crime so punishments dealt out are criticized heavily, and for good reason.
