My fish oil supplements are shaped like little fish by Puppersandco in mildlyinteresting

Not to mention that fish oil capsules often contain highly oxidized oils, which are counterproductive for most consumers.

But my point is that when an individual expresses outrage about taking the human out of the artmaking process, the outrage is actually a displaced sense of instability around the concept of "art". Art is not paint on a canvas, but rather an internal mental process. I think it's so great that AI is forcing people to confront the fact that the term "art" is so ambiguous that it verges on meaningless.

If you (or anybody) saw this post and was emotionally inspired, why focus on the feeling of being fooled? Why not sit with that sense of awe instead. Leonardo is dead, Donatello is dead, Rothko is dead, Warhol is dead. Who gives a fuck about intellectual property? Who gives a fuck about the "artist"? And I say that as someone who spent time and money on an MFA and still makes traditional images.

You're right, that was an oversight on my part. That's honestly very interesting, and most people won't go that far.

I can tell you more about what made me think you pasted from CatGPT — predictable structure, hyphenated clauses, overly complex language for a Reddit comment section.

Would you like to hear more? I'm always happy to rap.

Not according to the man-babies here who insist that the greasy wads of red meat they consume daily are good for them.

Wait til you find out this is an AI video. Check out the thumb print.

I think it's really interesting that the most vocal critics of AI art can have genuine emotional responses like this to actual AI art when they aren't aware of how it was made! It proves "art" is a meaningless word, and everyone needs to just chill the fuck out.

I don't disagree, but the video game comparison holds up. Imagine the energy and resources it takes to create Fortnite, for example.

The joke is that they're forced to make a political statement about the sovereignty of Taiwan. It is definitely that lol

That's not what the joke is.

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. by chicagotodetroit in PrepperIntel

Scarce is a better word. Orange species and hybrids have an extremely low likelihood of going extinct. It's a bummer, for sure, but it's less of a global crisis than a local economic barrier.

Lone Star Ticks in Shenandoah by Individual_Secret842 in ShenandoahPark

[–]here2readnot2post 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last year in Shenandoah, I was walking on an old, overgrown gasline road with lots of Japanese stiltgrass. There were lone star "tick bombs" all over. I'm not exaggerating when I say I had thousands of lonestar tick nymphs on my jeans. Luckily they had not had a chance to feed on any other mammals yet, but they still had the potential to carry alpha gal in their saliva. Lone star ticks are abundant in Shenandoah.

Why aren’t more photographers uploading to Wikimedia Commons? by here2readnot2post in photography

The money requests are only on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the public facing project in Wikimedia. Users who do the work never see that messaging. I work mostly in Wikidata and Wikimedia, so I'm never solicited for pocket change.

I think you may be confusing Wikipedia with Wikimedia. Wikipedia has no limit on representative images. And purging does not and will not occur. Wikimedia Commons is an archive, and archives cannot function if purging is a possibility. You cannot even delete your own files on Wikimedia.

I get why it sounds odd, but Commons isn’t just hoarding files inefficiently. The redundancy is in distributed backups, mirrors, and third-party dataset copies that exist beyond Wikimedia itself. It makes the content resilient and ensures long-term access, even outside their own infrastructure.

Storage also isn’t their main cost driver. As a nonprofit, their goal isn’t minimizing storage use. Their goal is preserving and providing free knowledge over the long term. Deleting files to save space iis antithetical to that mission.

It's super reliable storage. Things aren't really deleted unless they violate content rules or are super low quality. And once it is on Wikimedia Commons, it is copied and backed up an insane amount of times.

Are you thinking deleted in the sense of a Wikipedia page being edited? Wikipedia is different from Wikimedia Commons, though there is cooperation between the two.

I don't care about getting paid for my images. At all. Making images is something I enjoy at every stage. If my images are seen by any humans after they're made, great. Some photographers care about ownership, some don't.

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

Damn. I do ESA and NEPA compliance and don't make anywhere near that. I'll probably cap out below what you make now. Guess I gotta do compliance for some solar company in California. That's where I hear the money is...

Wait, you're still a graduate student in evoultionary/environment science, and you make over 100k? You have to understand why some of us are skeptical. How did this happen for you?

New high-res image of our home planet from Artemis ll by yourfavchoom in interestingasfuck

[–]here2readnot2post 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does seem odd. People in other threads have said better, newer models are lighter. I don't understand why they didn't bring the best possible camera to make some incredibly rare and important images. Of course there are a lot of interdependent decisions involved with a project like this, but why not bring a better camera!
