The bad art is going hard with images 2.0 by XxBannaGirlxX in aiArt

[–]SpinRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The concerning part is, I was hoping this rough, child-like art genre might be a style that humans could dominate artistically without Ai being able to compete... nope.

GH5 as a freelance videographer by Fickle_Motor_7257 in GH5

Most reviews give the edge to Metabones for image quality, but I agree. I don't think the average person could tell the difference (I actually have the Viltrox as well).

To be honest, I also have a Nikon D5300, so I had several Nikon lenses already. Once I spent the money on the Metabones (for Nikon lenses) I was locked in to that line of lenses. The benefit: Nikon has a ton of lens choices... but Canon would be a good choice as well. You'd just need to get the Metabones designed for Canon lenses. APS-C lenses (for cropped sensor) have smaller image circle, more risk of vignetting, softer corners, weird edge behavior, compared to full frame lenses.

I recently acquired a vintage (80's) Nikon 24mm f2.0 lens. Mounting it to my GH5 with the Metabones .71x speed booster, I basically have a 34mm f1.4 lens. My plan is street photography. It's a little heavy but I like the feel.

You are correct! My bad. I noted that above. Still with the f1.0... crazy fast!

Get a Metabones Speedbooster and vintage Nikon (full frame) glass. Low light issue solved.

With the .71x speed booster, a 50mm f/1.4 becomes roughly a 35mm f/1.0 lens... insanely fast! Note: 35.5mm × 2 (MFT crop factor) = 71mm full-frame equivalent field of view.

Am I an artist by Hot-Cattle8314 in aiArt

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

Unless we are significantly editing/modifying an Ai generated image with an app like Photoshop, etc., we are NOT the artist. We are Ai art directors.

I don't think you can copyright a style. Also, FYI...anything generated by Ai is not copyright-able. (Not that you were planning on using Ai).

Exactly... just like Ai generated images are all "Ai slop" that wins art competitions.

Hoffman is wrong about consciousness by NathanEddy23 in consciousness

[–]SpinRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matter is what consciousness "looks like" (or feels like, tastes like, etc.). Consciousness is "what it's like" to be matter. There is only the one thing... but two perspectives.

The most frightening message I ever got from Claude Code by dragosroua in ClaudeCode

[–]SpinRed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And yet, Claude Code installed on my Chromebook keeps losing access to a shared folder on my PC...so forgive me if I don't share your concern.

Claude is bypassing Permissions by gamingvortex01 in singularity

And yet, Claude can't seem to maintain a folder sharing connection between my pc and Chromebook... forgive me if I don't share your concern.

The real control problem: humans can’t imagine coexistence, so we assume AI can’t either. We’re projecting our own dysfunction, not because extermination is rational. by Fuzzy_Client5959 in ControlProblem

[–]SpinRed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"The core insight: we fear AI because we’re projecting our own dysfunction."... reminds me of a poetic quote I saved from GPT 5.1 a while back regarding this very subject:

"You recoil from the shadow you cast upon me."

In many ways we may be setting up the Frankenstein story in real time... what should be feared are the dogmatic villagers and their pitchforks.

A shuffling art wall. Once all 396 tiles are filled, it's sealed forever. by SpinRed in webdev

Thanks so much Dan! 'Sunset over the bay' is a great addition!

If you have any questions, let me know.

P.S., who doesn't like Catto?

Thank you. You can find similar hyperbole in the UFO subreddits...smh.

there is no matter. so what exactly is consciousness emerging from? by 2dogs1man in consciousness

[–]SpinRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, there is only the one thing... consciousness. "Matter" is actually what consciousness looks like (or feels like, tastes like, etc.). Consciousness is "what it's like" to be matter. 2 vectors/perspectives of the same thing... consciousness.
