That is precisely it. Generative AI is a tool, just like a digital canvas over a physical canvas, just like a canvas over a cave wall. As it has always been, the ones best prepared to adapt to this new tool are the artists. Instead of fighting the tool, we need to learn how to best use it. No AI, short of a true General Intelligence, will ever be able to make the decisions inherent to illustration, but it can get you close enough to the final vision so as to skip the labor intensive part.

That’s actually me removing semicolons from Python.

So it’s okay for me to rob you because someone else was robbed by a thief?

A person needn’t be good in order to do good things, just as a good person doesn’t necessarily impact the world positively simply by existing.

Nearly 2% of all Japanese people live in Brazil, for instance, so yeah.

Progressivism has no inherent need to be all-encompassing. In fact, keeping certain groups *cough conservatives cough* not included is an essential part of successful progressivism.

Congratulations proving their point.

The sensible solution is dismantling corporations and getting rid of billionaires, whether by sword or by hammer. Senseless infighting and bothside-ism is the realm of useful idiots and ill-intentioned manipulators.

It has everything to do with field of view… the region in which is you can resolve detailed information is very narrow, at only ~15º.

The implosion of Argentina is a very complex issue, but, essentially, the country allowed itself to be informally dollarized and ceded control over most of its industries to international (read corporativist) interests. When Perón restructured the country, it was done with a limited scope and with relatively short term changes, causing their economy to collapse again later (it doesn’t help that Brazil, a powerful potential ally, had undergone a rightwing U.S.-backed coup at the time). Then, the whole Falklands/Malvinas war happened, all rightwing bullshit, and the country still hasn’t bounced back.

Who could’ve guessed that a rightwing government wouldn’t solve their issues (which were originally caused by rightwing policies)?
