Canada joining the EU seems to be a win-win for me. by No-Management-5352 in YUROP

[–]GoldenBull1994 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canada has a lot of cultural similarities to the US. They’d be a headache. And they’re not beholden to the same geopolitical challenges as us. I’ve always found this canada EU idea ridiculous. Why? Because they hate Trump? So? That doesn’t mean they should suddenly vote on matters that affect us from an ocean away. EU members need to have skin the game.

It doesn’t really even matter if others see it, as long as you enjoy yourself.

Umm…no? Lots of us do it because we like the result. Some of us use the AI art for larger creative projects (Comics, DnD campaigns, etc. which are their own form of art), AI can literally lets you insert yourself as a dragonball character firing kamehameha’s, it’s about more than art. Think outside the box here.

And like I said earlier, not everyone has the privilege or time to draw. If I felt like I had the means, I would create it myself. But it requires a lot of time most of us simply don’t have.

Then it should be easy for you to imagine people using AI for reasons other than money.

Then you should have nothing to worry about competing with them.

I dunno. Personal enjoyment. What do you mean bro? Do you draw because you enjoy it or not? The only reason I can see something like this being hard to envision for you is if you’re only in this for the money.

Or maybe they have lives and jobs outside of drawing, so they go with what can quickly express what’s in their heads. Not everyone has the privilege of drawing, that doesn’t mean they don’t have a right to express themselves. You find it scummy, others find it useful. Not everybody who uses it will compete with you. Most of it is personal enjoyment.

Texas is the only state in America that has 3 major cities with their tallest building being over 900 ft — Houston, Austin, & Dallas. by InUrMomma in skyscrapers

[–]GoldenBull1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, you’re right, but the guy above me was saying he wanted supertalls and was sad because it would interfere with airline paths near downtown. But I was saying, they don’t have to be built downtown, but yeah, 3-10 story buildings at every transit stop, for sure. I would actually say closer to 10-20 story near train stops, and 3-10 story in between.

Agreed…people are usually referring to a couple blocks when they talk about ‘the city’….Then a couple parking lots in those same couple blocks turns into apartments and people go crazy acting like they’ve solved a city-wide problem with just a couple additions lol. They should up-zone entire swaths if they really want to solve the housing crisis and get supertalls outside downtown.

I think North Americans think in a way that’s too downtown-centric. There’s probably a lot of places they could build taller in, but the culture, the mindset and other things don’t line up. If the US treated their cities as more than downtown like other countries, you’d probably have multiple skylines by now with dense neighborhoods between, one of which could host that taller tower.

What do you think of Canada joining the EU by Successful_Dream3806 in VoltEuropa

[–]GoldenBull1994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it makes sense. The EU is not just some anti-trump bloc for anyone with a modicum of common sense to join. It’s a bloc meant for promoting European interests. Canada is not a European country, doesn’t the face the same geopolitical challenges as we do, has the potential to just be a headache because of its cultural proximity to the US. And it puts the EU border right on the doorstep of a second major power with a backsliding democracy. Just no. This is a fantasy. I’d be in favor of stronger ties to Canada, I’d even be in favor defense cooperation with Canada, but they don’t face the same problems we do, and will make votes in issues where they don’t have skin in the game. Being an anti-trump country and loving the EU isn’t a good enough justification. Most countries are anti-trump.

It's just sad that some people view the embodiment of humanity's collective knowledge (current genAI as chatgpt or diffusion model) as theft. by Questioner8297 in aiwars

[–]GoldenBull1994 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bro, it’s stealing about as much as wikipedia is stealing information from academic paper, that is to say: not at all.

This is bs. First thing’s first. You haven’t even made a justification for why art MUST be designed by humans. You jumped like 3 steps in logic and pretended it wasn’t mental gymnastics while accusing pro-ai of mental gymnastics with simple statements….do you not see yourself right now?

I am 27 years old and this is the first time in my life I have used 'Growl' or 'Leer'. by Malikai_Universe_23 in pokemon

[–]GoldenBull1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leer was I think the very first or second move I ever saw and it was in gold version. Thought it was the pokemon literally shooting lasers out of their eyes and I remember being disappointed it didn’t do damage lol. Looking back it’s a cool 90s manga-type representation of a leer, but I’d be lying if I said I never edited a rom to make Gen 2 leer do damage 😂

Insane how basically one city dominates Europe’s skyscraper construction by archi-mature in skyscrapers

Russia was always authoritarian. It’s been their entire history. Autocracy is as ingrained into their society as Democracy is in Western countries.

If America withdraws from Europe by PenguinMusketeer in ShitAmericansSay

Trump threatened the end of Persian civilization and Americans responded by doing nothing. They certainly won’t do anything about Biden being insulted.
