Holy fuck
Wait, what?
A little bit confused by the graph but it seems like he's solidly ahead with most votes counted? So he's secured the win?
Honestly to me this claim seems like a stretch. This artist is not the first person to do these kind of high contrast futuristic acid graphics either.
And then things like claiming the double chevrons, symbols in boxes and "aleph" (which is a marathon thing to begin with) next to some text are directly lifted from their designs when they are also common design elements as well, all just seems like someone trying to milk some fame out of this.
And also you famously can't copyright an artsyle.
Edit: after going through the thread and seeing higher quality images, I take all this back. The symbols in the boxes and the aleph text are litterally exactly the same, this is stealing.
Yeah that's my point. AI has a lot of problems that need to be addressed, put people are getting so mad about AI that conversation around it is getting more and more extreme to the point people are talking about all AI being bad.
No they are the same thing.
The core algorithm we built upon is practically the same one used by AI image generators, the main difference is that we have deeper convolutional layers and more of them and we don't do any GAN stuff that the newer image generators use.
Cool, my work for my company with AI for medical scans has detected thousands upon thousands of tumors and respiratory diseases, long before even the most well trained doctor could have spotted them, and as a result saved many of those people's lives. But it's good to know we're all just lazy pieces of shit because we use AI.
They're typically just called a "urinal automatic syphon"
Here's a great Steve Mould video on them if you want to learn more
The modern ones do, this was the solution before motion sensors
In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.
So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.
And it's been that way basically forever.
We already have.
Social media algorithms are already determined elections and have made Gen Z the first generation to get more conservative than the previous one.
Tangential, but this guys paid map subscription service doesn't have a way to check if it has the map you need before you pay for it??
I mean, no, even ignoring the whole licencing argument you can just generate you model from explicitly donated data, so it's not "designed" to plagiarise.
No.
For one art is not a luxury. That is a capitalist myth that tried to keep culture and basic pleasure away from the working class.
For second I want working class people to be able to produce whatever art they want however they want, without houlier-than-thou elitists telling them they can't.
If turning a a picture of you cat into studio ghibli style brings you even a brief modicum of joy, then you go do that and you shouldn't have people harassing you for doing so.
I'm not, believe me I'm a card carrying member of my countries communist party.
But unfortunately capitalism isn't going away anytime soon (hence why artist ask to be paid comission instead of just producing art for arts sake) so we have to live with it and do the best we can with the situation we have. And part of that is not trying to make art less accessible because of kneejerk reactions to something new.
Yeah I know, and I do infact comission artist myself semi-regularly. But this is still just justification for gatekeeping art away from poor people.
Actually you did vote for that buddy.
I feel like he would get along with my Cat Zuko
Yes art should be gatekeep for the wealthy. If you're poor and don't have time to learn how to draw, then fuck you buddy, my elitism is more important than your basic enrichment.
