I binged the whole thing. I like the world building and most of the relationships among the cast. However I didn't like the whole "introverts are there to be saved by an obnoxious extrovert who surely knows better."

I was looking for this picture: https://www.enworld.org/media/photo_2023-03-14_09-46-41-jpg.103806/ I grew up watching the first Japanese trilogy and Beast Wars. I was also exposed to a bootleg toyline that was all animal-based. The cool part was that half the figures were female characters...

More like 100% of the money, it just goes to you instead, doesn't it?

Uff fifteen bucks. That's a bit pricey.

I'm likely younger than you, so my period of collecting is in the late aughts. Back then, the amount of money I spent each month would at first buy 5 comics. Then four, and three, eventually just one, and now less than one. Part of it is our parity with the dollar getting worse, but the rising...

This weekend I watched this movie. (Took my mom to the movies for Mother's Day) I guess it is soon for spoilers as the rest of North America won't get it for three more Fridays. Still I wanted to open this up for now and later hopefully there can be spoilers then. In general, I'm not that much...

AI doesn't have experiences, nor needs or feelings. All of these color the way we "read" media and content. There's a book I love. The first time I read it was at seven or eight. I later did a book report on it during High school. Despite it being the same literal book, seven year old me read a...

Today I learned of the narluga, a narwhal/beluga hybrid. About a dozen of them live in the wild and seven are in captivity. They seem to exist due to climate change making both species encounter each other more often.

I was answering to @Bohandas in speciffic who claimed to easily be able to afford an artBreeder and a NovelAi subscription. Paying for both is about $50 to $60 a month, enough to pay a few art commissions. Locally run AIs produce smaller images with more defects and artifacts, and they require...

Reading on LAION, it seems they don't host themselves any copyrighted material but their own work. They might qualify for the same exception that allows that page to keep operating, or they might not if they have a considerable overlap of people involved. Either way, we need a lawsuit to...

Which is a reason artists have left DA in droves.

Also, clothes making still requires human labor despite the machines. (And relatively skilled)

So far most of the people affected are from the 99%. Most of the scrapped material comes from small creators. I'm sure scrappers have barely touched big media property. Good and bad news with this. You can enjoy these tools for now at a substantially reduced cost. The only reason you can afford...

Double post

Good luck with that. Art training just by looking at other people's art is extremely difficult. A lot of it is study, experimentation and even philisophy.
