Ha. The two words I distinctly remembered learning while going on this journey are “forb” and “sedge”. The former being “I need nonwoody nongrass plants for my garden, what is the word for those plants?.” And the latter “how is this weed not considered a grass? It’s a sedge? What is that?”

Try to identify birds and trees. How did I go through life not being able to identify my natural surroundings?

I guess it depends on who you talk to.

Model trains are a hobby that I love for other people to get into. I want to see your trains and tracks and little villages you’re proud of. I just need my basement for all my other activities!

Yeah, I feel for the hobby shops because there’s only so much inventory a shop can hold onto and display and sell. How long do you think they gotta display servos before somebody comes looking for them? Compare that to the big Internet stores and I don’t know how they can compete.

Wargaming or anything that brings people to a hobby shop. Trains, RC vehicles, and kites are most acceptable and understandable to people on the outside but still looked down on.

Lemmy largely is very anti AI art. You’re basically going to a vegan convention and asking “Is it ok if I have a little meat? As a treat?”

Is there a well defined “then”? Shortcuts are hard to stop arbitrarily using. If your goal is to become a better artist I would focus more on practicing your art instead of fitting AI into your art.

What about self hosted AI image generators or companies who pay royalties to artists for units sold?

I think you have created complicated rules for “piracy I enjoy/condone is good. Copying that I don’t like is bad.”

I don’t see there being a lot of room for to ever defend piracy and also hate AI influenced art

It’s almost as if Putin just called him and said “Ok, this is what you say to get American support for invading your neighbor.”

They had a licensing agreement. Sling broke that agreement to make money off of Disney content. Disney wants to make them pay for that.

I think if you took the Disney name out of the story and looked at it objectively it would be hard to disagree with their choice

Your landlord buys his air filters at the Freeze & Breeze where they sell frozen meats and HVAC supplies and their freezers have failed

Refrigerant slow leak?

Punch a hole in your refrigerant line and if the escaping gas smells the same then you know that’s what it was.

Except you’re not gonna sell any because I’m going to sell 42 tickets to a $21 prize. You’ll just be left with your $20 prize, $20 dollars, and 40 free tickets.

Ok.

40*$1-$20 prize=?

That will leave you with $20
