Before Kash Patel reads this & decides to place me on double-secret probation or whatever, let me just clarify - I'm not planning on invading America, because I'm just one guy & also it's a long way away & that seems awfully difficult

What I'm saying is Bret Stephens is planning US Revolution #2

Well, to point out that would be to challenge the British political orthodoxy of Brexit being fine, it's fine, it's a settled issue & a good idea & it's fine and everybody stop talking about it now please

Everyone *knows* Tory policy backfired, but Brexit is still an identity politics hot potato

To an extent, yes, but I'm honestly surprised there haven't really been any really high profile cases of kids winding up in legal trouble for generating images of their classmates, for example. The technical barrier is incredibly low, & teenage boys in particular will do incredibly dumb shit.

And it's not like you could just cut it up into sections, because the AI wouldn't know you'd done that & so none of the edges would match properly & you'd get really visible seams which this thing doesn't have

Point is, someone actually put some technical effort into making this crappy thing

I suppose you could slop it out in the correct aspect ratio at low resolution then run it through an upscaler, which would probably be less taxing on VRAM, but I know my 5060Ti with 16Gb still couldn't do it

*Maybe* on a £2000 5090 with 32Gb?

So is the goonbag!
