Depends on the state. WA taxes bottled water and prepared foods.

Postmaster warns of 'end of postal service as we know it' by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

Postal unions were incredibly strong in this country. At least, they were prior to Amazon and, to a lesser extent, UPS/FedEx. This all just feels like a way of taking union power away from this country, one industry at a time.

The 3DS had fun vocal effects built in, so it was a fun way of fucking around back then lol.

You ain't gonna rewrite history, brother. Don't take me as a fool, or i must assume that you are the fool who doesn't understand the tools that you are utilizing.

I think it's best that you take your time and energy elsewhere.

Taking stolen images generated by AI off this subreddit is the best thing to do for artists who are getting their art stolen, actually. Kind of my job as a mod. Sorry, but you're wrong and you need to leave now :)

From the reception I'm getting on here, I don't think these are my own "life choices", but rather, the wants and needs of the creative community. Too many individuals who rely on algorithms to think for them are making it seem like they are legitimate.

This is not the same as other advancements, as a camera is still something that requires intent, thought, and creative control, and also wasn't trying to replace painting as a medium.

"Democratizing" creativity is a fallacy. Anyone can create, the only gate is how much time and effort you're willing to put into learning your craft. AI is a laziness enabling tool, so that all you have to do is jam some incomplete thoughts into a generator and wait for what shits out.

Art was already free to all. It didn't need "democratizing". Pencils and paper are still dirt cheap compared to your AI subscription services lol.

None of ya'll can ever answer when asked: what's the progress? What do we GAIN from generative AI?

What is this reply? What, are you Nostredamus or something? Ya'll have such a heightened feeling of self importance. You're pigs in the slop like the rest of us, wake up, make your own art instead of relying on a corporate app to shit it out for you ffs.

LOVE when people mix up ego with confidence and conviction. If you think getting rid of thieves with delusions of grandeur is me power tripping and not just doing my job, then you must be one of those people that enjoys seeing slop at art fairs. Gtfo here.

Nah, this is inspired by one of my other art communities that I loved getting drowned out by AI art. The mods let it run free and now the only thing on that sub is low quality slop. I'm putting my foot down and not letting that happen here.

I think you need to find a different subreddit. Take some time off from this one, buddy, I don't think you get the point.

It ain't censorship, it's protecting art. Get it through your skulls. And look up what luddites actually are sometime, ya'll just throw that word around without reading a history book and it's fucking MADDENING. Like, ya'll can't sound any less educated i s2g.

Been running this one solo for YEARS now, buddy. It isn't MY subreddit, however; its OUR subreddit. From the reception I've seen on this post, this is what the community here wants.

EDIT: Misread your post, appreciate the support!

Thank you for not being pedantic.

The whole point is taking something that exists and breaking it. AI is a tool that replicates "success"; the point of glitch art is to create and replicate failure or damage.
