A wonderful undertaking and I wish you every success! 🤗❤️

Makes me angry we aren't a truly unionized nation: we're long, long, long overdue for a NS.

Are there legit uses for LLMs? In scientific and medical settings, they are already proving useful.

This is not the same thing as "gen ai."

Gen ai is nothing but theft for cheap dopamine.

It is enriching the already wealthy and eroding our intellectual, cultural and artistic sensibilities while exacerbating climate change with the demand for water and use of fossil fuels to power it all.

The nazis love it, too.

Don't be a nazi.

There's no levelling of a playing field for anyone here: "oh it helps those who struggle/lack ability/access."

It's not *helping* anyone *do* anything except amuse themselves at others' expense. That's beyond shitty.

If you can't even follow a YT tutorial from a real person because it takes too long, if all you're looking for is immediate satisfaction, that dopamine hit, you're not a creative, you're a parasite.

Choose not to be. Choose education and community and supporting creatives.

It isn't transformative, it isn't "homage," it isn't yours because you typed in a prompt.

You didn't even sort through all the bits yourself to come up with your collage of crap.

Want to make a painting like Degas? Then fucking learn to paint.

Want to write music like Mozart? Then learn music.

"What do you mean that's how they look? No one could --

Oh my sweet lord.

Dear God."
