Learning how to draw different people, places, and objects.
I believe the best art comes from someone learning rather than a ML model or what is mathematically meant to be the perfect image.
Practicing NSFW too

Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her.
How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck?

They get off to violating the consent of others. Not more complicated than that.
Anyone have a theory on the administration's sudden obsession with Franklin the turtle?

I think I just saw the Mario Bros and princess on the metro.
Mario was talking with Daisy about something while Luigi cleaned her ID, and Peach sat with him.
Luigi: dark grey denim jacket with green collar shirt
Mario: red puffy sweatshirt and blue jeans
