Wasn’t a huge fan of the move to 3D animation but it wasn’t all bad. Movies like The Mitchell’s VS The Machines and Klaus show that 3D animation can have a ton of soul and style. Think the problem is most corporate studios just failing at making good stories / art most of the time in pursuit of the lowest common denominator.

That said, fuck AI slop. Soulless by definition

Would that be a disassociation?

Brain’s taking the joke too seriously and trying to imagine what divorcing yourself would entail

Wait, is it inherently bad for an artist to self-insert? Isn’t that one of the key ways they share their perspective? If there’s some bizarre strawman-ing or self-aggrandizing going on it can problematic but the general idea of an artist self-inserting themselves or their ideas into their work seems fine to me.

This was the discussion on a recent post, which seems to be deleted now, about “AI” art on beer cans in the Mildly Infuriating community.

It’s really upsetting how much art is now seen as AI looking when AI art only looks that way cause it was trained on great art. Anything stylized, slightly sepia, realistically shaded, etc etc, automatically assumed to be AI when some people have trained decades to develop this style themselves, but now it’s just slop style

Well, is it shifting left or right??

Think this is the full official winner’s gallery

One of my faves

And these scientists are sure as hell gonna work on answering them with that freaky deaky nose

They actually get into this in the other panels that aren’t posted. Having trouble finding non-reddit links to it though https://www.reddit.com/r/theotherendcomics/s/9X4C16J7yi

Also, not very experienced adding photos from my phone to comments but trying to attach screenshots

Good luck! Mint was my first distro too and still the one I use most, everything just works how I want and yeah, so much faster than Windows

This is really disappointing… I figured the open source nature of Bitwarden would save it from enshittification but as the author says, in the end, the company doesn’t need to keep it open source.

Died trying to hold Melania’s hand 😢

I believe it’s essentially the “Black Lives Matter” /“All Lives Matter” situation. Yes, we are striving for equality, but the movements are worded to highlight those who are most affected/disenfranchised by the status quo.

Woman gets it when she’s talking about the movement that applies specifically to her disenfranchisement, but not when she’s in the “out” group of a rights movement

A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way “moon” is used there is similar to month, so it’s basically “the time of the month is here” said as “datang bulan”

Not to mention XDCC over IRC

I’m really hoping more adoption of Ubuntu Touch and other alternative mobile OSs will come from this, and with that, more support and development to make them feasible alternatives for the average user

I feel like they’ve been talking about this since I was a kid. I remember reading in school about phytoplankton as a carbon sink and how it can be used to fight climate change back in the early 2000’s, or am I losing my mind?

Edit after reading more carefully. Yes they’ve been working on it, it’s the potential side effects that are the big deal

Researchers have long known that adding iron to the sea leads to blooms of phytoplankton (back in the 1980s, one scientist declared: “Give me a half tanker of iron, and I will give you an ice age”),

Weird, working fine for me on Voyager

Found a 2021 reddit post as well

But I feel like I saw this first on imgur back in the mid 2010’s. Might be getting things mixed up though

I like that term. AI comics definitely have some kinda weird feel, something about the color choices/solidness and the line work I think. Gonna be using slop sepia in the future
