I’m taking the bait.

The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn’t his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that’s still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

And this isn’t the same as line tracing or referencing other’s art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It’s drawn from the work of humans.

Moreover, I don’t want to remove the human element from art ever.

Judging by my Age of Empire games… yes.

Boeing failure. They were supposed to return long ago.

Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.

This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.

The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.

Yes, you see… i want the taxes I pay to go to helping people. We could instead, say, stop giving as much to the DoD. We could raise taxes on corporations and close off shore loopholes… you know, basic good governance.

Now if we could cleanse the junk and joke guides as well somehow…

Pirates kind of had a workers compensation program as I’ve been told.

Loss of certain body parts was payable with the amount varying by which part was affected.

Your number 2 is based around cultural, not species differences. Two humans raised in two different cultures could end up very different.

There could be two tribes of goblins. One that began eating people out of desperation and now just do it because it’s tradition. The other could have grown up in close relationships with their nongoblin neighbors and are seen as a valuable part of their region.

So untying evilness to their race isn’t being race blind or pretending people down have struggles - it’s removing the shoehorning that occurred.

At least they’re trying instead of ridiculing those who are.

The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes “lift 3-6 inches and drop”

The glass clearly says those are feet, not ferrets.

I won’t lie.I don’t get it.

In order to make crossing intersections quicker to get through, the new town policy has trains jumping others using newly installed skateboard ramps.

I use to spend so much time on there as a kid. I had a flashback as soon as I saw that avatar.

I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it’s not enforces from day 1, doesn’t change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

People don’t have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.

El Hazard, is that you? It’s been so long.

I use to be part of an agency that protected certain rights of workers. This would be called a constructive dismissal and is still cause for a wrongful termination. The largest issue is documentation that is hit or miss. Unfortunately, funding issues mean the agencies have to pick and choose what to pursue legally and so they will often choose instead to pursue monetarily larger cases even if the smaller ones are ironclad. Though sometimes they will train newer legal team members on those smaller ones.

But I’ve also dealt with specific instances of a supervisor calling a person with a lisp a slur starting with F and threatening to fire them if they spoke with us.
