It would also cost less to actually go to the moon, too.

You don't get to hold two things apart that are certain death when they meet with a flathead screwdriver and then call the core the demon. #therealdemonisstupidity

I'm a big fan of, "You aren't the best friend of any of your friends."

From this lens, things like universal basic income become powerful tools to protect your nation and strengthen your economy, should war arise.

With all this in mind, you can critically examine the supposedly pro-military folks' claimed views and see how they actually play out.

But, this continues: it then becomes obvious that those who promote things that hurt the economy, such as supply-side economics, are saboteurs seeking to profit from a nation's downfall.

Once you understand this, it follows that there are non-military ways to wage war. Misinformation campaigns, particularly in the face of real threats, are particularly efficient ways to spend. Gaming GDP maximization is not different than decoy air fields.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the rare thing I like about AI art is going away. I just didn't expect the enshittification to happen this fast.

The latest few generations of models don't seem to be capable of this and just give me Musk underwater and occasionally with a fish tail.

It was interesting how you could add "giger" to your prompt, and everyone in just looks more stressed out.

See that? Oddly recognizable as Musk. The pool underwater? I rolled with that and decided that a status symbol among the nobility is having reflection pools of mercury, who goes a long way to explaining the behavior of the nobility there.

For example, because I let one of my players design a city-state in my campaign, merfolk Elon Musk now exists in my world, and I get to have the fantasy of him experiencing consequences for his actions. Here's the image I generated for my players.

Yes, the models are getting better at the number of fingers and random details, but actually getting something remotely interesting is getting harder.
