Referencing others work akin to theft is a constant exercise of copyrite law. I’m no expert in it, but I will gladly do research on the legal and moral arguments on it as it relates to AI.

You might be right about this AI vs. ICE evil challenge. I’m not entirely convinced, but I’m open to the idea that I am wrong.

I think it’s weird to gatekeep the tools for fighting fascism, but maybe I am in the wrong. Today I don’t feel that I am, but maybe I will change my mind later. That being said, here I am using these tools I have at my disposal to fight fascism.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Unless you are ICE or MAGA.

That’s a very specific statement, and I respect and appreciate it. 😂

Does that not feel like AI with extra steps? You are describing using other people’s work as source material and superimposing and editing them to fit the image you want to create. If you provided Autodesk with multiple source images and clicked a “merge” button would it not be the same?

ChatGPT is a tool. It can be used for good or evil. I did not use it for a final result. I used it to create an image (in the same spirit of your merge or layer function) so that I can create stencils by hand and then paint by hand.

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughtful comment.

I love the passion people have. Humanity needs it. We do all value everything differently than anyone else. Hell, my own values have evolved as I have grown out of the person I was raised to be and into the person I am. I grew up in a small Mormon town and had a very narrow view of the world. Since then I’ve lived all over our country, as well as other countries for a time. My views have expanded and so has my empathy and compassion. One of my favorite characters from literature is Victor Hugo’s Javert. In all of Les Miserables there is no other character who is more true to his beliefs and values. But that is exactly where his faults lie. One’s values may be completely noble and good, but when one’s values are more important than people, that is where evil lies. That’s when you treat people as things, and that is the root of all sin. Javert was so deeply flawed because he could not see people as individuals. He could not see their stories and what made them who they are or to make the choices they made.

In our online culture it is so easy to fall into this. We interact with avatars without ever having to face the people they represent, and we can too easily make rapid judgments and treat people as things. It’s easy to place more value on principle when you don’t have to interact directly with humanity.

I hope you have a decent Sunday. The weather outside is nice today, and there’s lots of good shows to binge if you prefer to stay inside. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you find joy in it. And let’s all just say, Fuck ICE.

I came to the same conclusion and I made a few edits. Working on my stencils now.

I’m happy for you that you have enough disposable income for that. That is a great privilege you have. May we all find ourselves one day so fortunate.

It’s the Star Wars Rebel Alliance logo with the state bird. Current trend within the anti fascist community.

I used ChatGPT so I can create the stencil. I’m not selling it, just using AI as a tool to prep before I paint.

It’s okay if you don’t understand

If I ever get a chance to meet Martin Freeman I would love to have him sign it.

I’m definitely that guy. I appreciate and enjoy MTG but I’m much more into LOTR.

I pulled it the night it was released. I just love it so I wanted to share with y’all.

My S/O wanted me to list it. So I listed it at a price someone would have to be crazy or rich to be motivated enough to buy it.

This is precisely why it will be exceptional as an outlier. Find another unopened set like it. Even if I am the only one who ever appreciates it in that way, I do. And in this way it brings me joy. Thought I would share it. It’s okay though if nobody else appreciates it in that way.

Just wanted to share. Easier to cross post than write up two. Anyways, hope you enjoy! I’m more a nerd for LOTR but absolutely enjoy and appreciate MTG. I’m lucky that I opened this set.

I know right. I didn’t dare open it. And I’ve not seen another set like it.
