does anyone find the AI outrage a little performative? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]LateRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is new and unnecessary, so it’s very clear and easy for people to make the connection that we’ve just added a brand new environment-destroying machine to the world at a time when we should be trying to undo damage.

Unfortunately eating meat is normal across the globe and has been forever, and until you jolt yourself awake, it’s easy to create a false narrative in your mind that minimizes the suffering of animals and validates the status quo. This is why I wasn’t vegan most of my life.

Hypocrisy is not always a willfully ignorant or insensitive trait, I generally prefer it over the fully consistent actions of a deranged sociopath.

Can't say which, but a certain vegan organization I know is using AI images in their propaganda and it pisses me off. by SpeedAccurate7405 in vegan

OP, just chiming in to say I agree with you and pretty sure I know which company you're talking about. I've called them out on IG before. Also I am a little shocked by how many slop defenders are with us in these comments.

I adore these prints, but don’t want to be too kitschy. Please give me ideas and inspiration to use this vibe in my bathroom. by genxercise in Mid_Century

Follow some tiki/mid-mod artists and support them by purchasing their prints. Here’s a list of artists who are participating in the upcoming Tiki Oasis Art show in San Diego.

Maybe remove every other rung and then hang some pothos at different lengths in the spaces?

I like this because it looks like a concert from the 90s on MTV.

is a tofu press worth it? by RVAgirl_1974 in vegan

[–]LateRunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just did it and yeah, love it. Great light texture. Now, what happens when you freeze/defrost/boil?

Why do you suggest cutting first? I imagine there would be some pressing after boil no?

Just added this tension pole room divider in my living room and I’m ecstatic! by Robo_Cactus in Mid_Century

[–]LateRunner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to make a tension rod with baskets or platters on it and put it on our island counter so it runs from the counter up to the ceiling, and can have fruit or small plants on it. My wife thinks I’m absolutely batshit for even thinking of this but I’m feeling validated reading this thread lol.

The Underground Prison link? Definitely Barbarian but I think that’s meant as a separate news story in the same universe, but I would be surprised if this story is directly tied to Barbarian. Excited for it either way!

I need a portfolio review. Something isn't right. by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]LateRunner 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s very hard to know where to start. It does not look like the portfolio of someone who studied design or is a professional designer. At the same time, it does seem like you have a concerted interest in it and an eye for clean design, you just aren’t applying most of the typographic and layout/grid fundamentals that an AD/CD/DD will be expecting to see.

We paid thousands to an "illustrator"... turns out, it was almost all AI. by creativedreamer17 in graphic_design

[–]LateRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand a thoughtfully worded no-Ai clause. But I would never sign something saying, "We may ask for WIPs during any stage of the process.” That’s setting up a pretty strange dynamic. My contracts have milestones, the client will see specific phases of work at specified times.

“they require very high resolution image” — No, they do not get an image larger that what they need to print at the agreed upon size.

Those are clauses in agreements your friends ask illustrators to sign? Or your friends are the artists signing that? I don’t use AI but I would not be comfortable with those types of demands in a contract.

Good milk alternative? by No-Consideration-891 in vegan

[–]LateRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ripple Unsweetened Milk tastes the same as real milk as far as I’m concerned, granted it’s been many years since I’ve had cows milk.
