#Hope it's not annoying^^

the most frustrating thing about AI Art from a Discourse perspective is that the actual violation involved is pretty nebulous

like, the guys "laundering" specific artists' styles through AI models to mimic them for profit know exactly what they're doing, and it's extremely gross

but we cannot establish "my work was scraped from the public internet and used as part of a dataset for teaching a program what a painting of a tree looks like, without anyone asking or paying me" as, legally, Theft with a capital T. not only is this DMCA Logic which would be a nightmare for 99% of artists if enforced to its conclusion, it's not the right word for what's happening

the actual Violation here is that previously, "I can post my artwork to share with others for free, with minimal risk" was a safe assumption, which created a pretty generous culture of sharing artwork online. most (noteworthy) potential abuses of this digital commons were straightforwardly plagiarism in a way anyone could understand

but the way that generative AI uses its training data is significantly more complicated - there is a clear violation of trust involved, and often malicious intent, but most of the common arguments used to describe this fall short and end up in worse territory

by which I mean, it's hard to put forward an actual moral/legal solution unless you're willing to argue:

Potential sales "lost" count as Theft (so you should in fact stop sharing your Netflix password)

No amount of alteration makes it acceptable to use someone else's art in the production of other art without permission and/or compensation (this would kill entire artistic mediums and benefit nobody but Disney)

Art Styles should be considered Intellectual Property in an enforceable way (impossibly bad, are you kidding me)

it's extremely annoying to talk about, because you'll see people straight up gloating about their Intent To Plagiarize, but it's hard to stick them with any specific crime beyond Generally Scummy Behavior unless you want to create some truly horrible precedents and usher in The Thousand Year Reign of Intellectual Property Law

Where the tired come to rest, and the famished come to feed - lavishly. Go on. Partake. Enjoy your supper. After all… It might just be your last.

House using Wilson's chest as a whiteboard because he recieved a call about the patient while they were having sex, had half an epiphany and needed to see the symptoms all in the same place lol.

(@/unfrozenpeas here on tumblr has a little sketch about that scenario but it's so funny so I kinda wanna know what your take on it is)

This was so fun to make, feels like something that would happen

Thanks for the request!! :D

"All those empty rooms

We could have been anywhere, anywhere else

Instead, I made a bed with apathy

My heart knew the weight

Ten years worth of dust and neglect

We made our peace with weariness and let it be..."

Let’s amp up the “Jason says ow and the batfam thinks he must be gravely injured” headcanon.

Jason calls Bruce or Dick for fun and says nothing but “goodbye” before hanging up (maybe it’s a dare by Roy who TOTALLY suspects the reaction Jay is gonna get).

Ten minutes late the entire Justice League is scouring Gotham, on the hunt for Jason.

Two interesting things I haven't seen anyone point out yet:

Jack has an organ donor card, implying that that is a service that is both possible and necessary in the Gaslight District. He lives in Chainport (same as the main gang). He's also been very generous with what he's offered to donate, he's ticked donating all necessary organs and tissues and has offered his body up for research/medical purposes (even though he can't die? Nobody can die? What is the purpose of this?).

His next-of-kin is his mom, so his mom is present in the gaslight district and there is a possibility of the people on the island dying or disappearing (probably the latter, considering what actually happened to him). I can't fully read his witness's name, but I think it might be Kathy. You know, another person who got cemented. Edit: it's not Kathy, it's Ken Hill. That has a whole other set of interesting implications for the show.

Also his signature has a little heart next to it, that's so cute :D

SECOND THING:

It's interesting how much emphasis they put on Mud's sleight of hand and his ability to do magic tricks. He randomly pulls two during the pilot, and in addition he's shown to swallow objects for safekeeping. It'll be interesting to see how and why he picked those tricks up in the future.

Why does there need to be validation?

If you like to wear makeup? Okay but it's not feminist to do so.

If you like to shave? Okay but it's not feminist.

Everytime a woman speaks on how these things are damaging to women as a class you always get people whining and crying about their individual choices.

This isn't even talking about why no one takes even a second to question why they want to shave, and why do they want to wear makeup.

If everything is feminist than nothing is.

It was a psyop to make feminism lose it's teeth and the people who've read an ounce of theory are "terfs" and "swerfs".
