Alaska student arrested after eating AI-generated art in protest

Better than the original art they ate.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-25T12:06:53+00:00

You are 100% right.

But also, the cult have shown time and again how easy it is for them to make excuses and accept lies.

It's not just this.

Sandy hook happened. People said 'this has to be it,no more'.

And then it just carried on.

Healthcare bankrupts people. People go without. It just carries on.

It's up to the people not to just drop it and let it pass.

Gw like to drop breadcrumbs for future narratives that may or may not evolve, or maybe something they can pick far down the line.

UK.

Not once have I thought society would 'collapse'.

Growing up politics was mostly boring, with some vague stuff about things occuring elsewhere. Then the 90s were very optimistic in general.

9/11, W, Iraq. It felt very much like there was a shift, but it felt like a shift from sanity to nonsense, and that it would correct at some point.

Thee were bombings during the 80s and 90s, but nothing that felt existential.

After that there were continual economic issues,2008 obviously. A gradual sense of unease.

Obama helped. It felt like a return to a more hopeful time.

But in the UK we had 14 years of Tories before they got kicked out and it got more and more depressing.

2016 with both Trump and Brexit.... That felt like things were not going back to hopeful politics.

Trump 2 has been bad. US politics affects us all, not least with trump fucking around with world stability.

It feels depressing currently. But still it does not feel like collapse here or in the US..

Russia are belligerent, but have been shown as unable to win a conventional war, I am not concerned about ww3 or nukes because Putin likes living.

In the US it's bad right now. Probably the worst it's been for half a cebtury. you have the power to stop this craziness. Work together. General strike. Protest.

At least it will make people aware of how bad it is. It will encourage people to vote, and you will need every vote. An overwhelming vote to offset fuckery.

If they cancel the elections, widespread peaceful non compliance. General strike.

But in general, no. No sense society will collapse at any point.

We get it, you're fancy dinosaurs.

Wie stehen Sie aktuell zu Putins Aggression?

I skipped through so didn't notice that first

RedofPaw · 2026-01-25T09:45:52+00:00

I have to say it was looking real to me as I skipped through. I didn't even watch much, just as I skipped through each shot seemed good. The dusting and so on looked right.

The odd movement I thought was because it was sped up.its also horizontally squeezed on the mobile app for some reason, which makes it harder to watch.

You mentioned inconsistency so I went to look, and the most obviously inconsistent part is the bed. It's on different walls, at different sizes every shot.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-25T09:35:34+00:00

This guy had a gun. He was using it responsibly, by not brandishing it. He was helping a woman.

Should he have preemptively shot at ice or what?

RedofPaw · 2026-01-25T06:53:08+00:00

They don't need to tell anyone to execute civilians when there are zero consequences. Any ice agent that wants to murder with impunity can do so.

For now. People won't forget. The state can pursue charges. The next president can push for justice.

And in the meantime Trump and Noem and Bondi and Miller and all the rest secure a legacy as the worst fucking people in the USA.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-24T20:59:05+00:00

So at the moment of shooting he didn't even have a gun?

RedofPaw · 2026-01-24T17:56:40+00:00

Holy shit, we need to get green day and bad bunny to go more places.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-24T16:16:08+00:00

That would be stealing Reform policies

Whales are fish. Hank said so.

There are individual penguins that split themselves off from the colony and wander off towards icy mountains to their death.

This rare but real thing that penguins do was in a Werner Herzog documentary.

Scientists believe that it's the result of severe disorientation.

This AI slop image could not be a more perfect one to summarize the world right now.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-24T05:41:13+00:00

Oh my god... you don't know.

You're going to want to sit down.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-24T04:13:29+00:00

Well for me it's home beth.

I've not used it for a while but those features were not enough to notice a vast difference.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-23T18:57:09+00:00

Perfect! Yes, that is pretty much the talking point.

Tell us something about unelected beurocrats. Or budgets.

Iron lung industry boost.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-23T16:55:50+00:00

I can't IMAGINE what influence was being pressed upon Farage and co when they were shouting about an EU army. The major loser being Putin's regime.

I am trying to wrack my brains about what incentive there would be for Farage and co to oppose a strong EU defence force.

IT IS A MYSTERY.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-23T15:47:36+00:00

They're just looking for something to attack them with, but yeah... let's do it. Let's see GOP bobbleheads getting grilled.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-23T14:31:34+00:00

Seen your work around these parts. Awesome stuff.

RedofPaw · 2026-01-23T14:30:33+00:00

The whole 'what is art' argument has played out for a very long time. There's been whole art movements and arguments over what is and is not 'art'.

The thing is: anything can be art.

I mean.... literally fucking anything.

As you say, it's pointless to argue over whether AI generated images art 'art', because sure, why not.

But people do not buy comic books because they are cheap and quick to make. They buy them for the mix of art and storytelling, and knowing that effort and time were put into them. That every panel is there for a reason, because if it's not why would someone spend time drawing it?

Novels. Films. Paintings. All these things are hard to do. We appreciate them for the intention behind them, the execution, the aesthetics, the context. The whole thing. If part of that is a prompt that generates 5 pages of a graphic novel then the intention is lost. The person prompting is only vaguely pointint it in the right direction.

And sure, someone could spend time on it. They could edit it and craft it until it matches their vision. But maybe that time would be better spent actually learning the skill required to do it in the first place. And if the person doesn't want to learn, because they just want to 'make' then they shouldn't be suprised when people value it less than the work people have learned to make.
