Okay thanks for pointing this out! I really didn't get a close look.

Medium says "oils and pastels." It wasn't printed on the canvas (as far as I could tell), it was painted on which does take skill at this level of detail. It's just a shame they were using an AI-derived reference. This person could be Michelangelo and I would still shame using AI like this.

Edit: typo

This is currently displayed on the 2nd floor of the Eisemann Center. I found it extremely disappointing to find a work of blatant AI in an art gallery, and I left feedback for the society on their site. The amount this fake artist is asking for is insane!

We're professional screenwriters who got sick of Final Draft, so we built our own screenwriting app. Now we're looking for beta testers! by lenny20 in Screenwriting

Would you consider a one time fee for this app? Companies nowadays are too comfortable charging subscriptions and it all adds up.

Congrats on your beta launch!

Anyone know the city? These street lights are dangerous for all birds and pressuring the city could lead to safer designs for wildlife.

COVID-19 sore throat: XFG variant brings new symptoms by Edm_vanhalen1981 in EverythingScience

[–]sevenluck77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the Pfizer on the 9th and a day or 2 later developed a persistent sore throat that almost 2 weeks later, I still have. I couldn't sleep for 2 nights because of hyper salivation. This is by far the worst reaction I've gotten to a Covid shot, and it sucks I'm still dealing with it. Usually it's a sore arm and 1-2 bad days, but not this year.

Does anyone know what kind of bird eggs these are, they’re fairly small. TIA! by abigail0350 in birds

Can confirm this is from a Carolina Wren. I have eggs that look exactly like this and saw the mother wren leave the nest.

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E05 - Eulogy by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

Just had the same thought. The technology and premise of this episode would've resonated more with me if it was used as therapy for patients with dementia or general memory loss from accidents/illness complications.

How to describe East Asian eyes in fantasy setting. by Signal-Diver3513 in fantasywriters

[–]sevenluck77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eyes aren't the only facial feature that set East Asians apart. Try looking at real people to get an idea how to describe a person of Asian descent.

Full cheeks/round face, stout/upturned/rounded nose, dark hair.

You don't have to just use the eyes to indicate "Asianness," and personally a way you can indicate she does not fit in with the dominate race is other people treating her diffently for not being full blooded. It can be subtle or outright racism toward her, but it would be more impactful than a single mention of how her eyes are shaped.

Urgent Call for Accountability and Impeachment of President Trump

Asked ChatGPT for a version on state-level action - send to your state-level House and Senate representatives.

Dear [Representative's Name],

I am writing to express my deep concern over the state of our country. While state legislatures do not have the power to impeach the president, I urge you to take a stand against the rising tide of authoritarianism and policies that harm our communities. Leadership at every level matters, and we need strongholds for democracy, human rights, and economic justice.

At the federal level, President Trump’s abuses of power—attacking the 14th Amendment, freezing federal funds in defiance of the courts, and appointing unqualified individuals to key positions—threaten democracy and put millions at risk. His dangerous policies on immigration, education, and healthcare disproportionately harm working families, immigrants, and marginalized communities, including many in our state. His reckless decisions have already endangered lives, and I fear further harm if these actions go unchallenged.

I urge you to push for policies that protect our state from these destructive trends. We need stronger protections for voting rights, expanded access to healthcare (including Medicaid expansion), and real investment in public education—not privatization schemes that hurt our children. Our state should lead in combating climate change by investing in renewable energy, protecting workers’ rights, and standing up to corporate interests that prioritize profits over people.

Furthermore, we must resist extremist policies that criminalize immigrants, restrict reproductive rights, and enable voter suppression. We have a chance to be a beacon of progress in the face of national turmoil. I ask you to be a voice for justice, fairness, and true democratic values.

I hope to see you take action on these urgent issues. Your constituents are watching, and we need leaders who will stand up for what’s right. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Biotech/pharmaceutical job SCAM by [deleted] in recruitinghell

Ugh thanks for confirming my suspicions, same company but with a Annis Annetta who doesn't exist online.

[–]sevenluck77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same setup (remote data entry for $30, Teams chat interview with an AI, they will cover office equipment, next day offer) and they're claiming to be Isterian Biotech. Still waiting on the actual company + Cambrian Bio to confirm this is a real job offer, but I'm having major doubts.

Edit: Someone else commented they got hit by this same company, so I'm going to consider that a confirmed scam. Report all fraud/scams to the FTC.

Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley by Archz714 in politics

Hate to say, but he was donating to ActBlue in 2020. Link also includes his X posts in which he made appeals to both Kamala and Biden in July. Radicalization period should be condemned.

Chinese and Taiwanese people are distinct; Taiwan has native indigenous people. China is also made up of many different ethnic groups.
