I don't think it needs to be our goal, but I think if the fediverse gets popular, we should let it grow. I see this place as an infinite green space for people to come and feel free to discuss their interests. Lemmy's communities ensure that it scales, because you only join ones that interest you. Then the community can enforce whatever spirit of discussion it wants to maintain and people can create another community if they want to try something different.

I think this is realistically the only way forward. To delegitimize any kind of nudes that might show up of a person. Which could be good. But I have no doubt that highschools will be flooded with bullies sending porn around of innocent victims. As much as we delegitimize it as a society, it'll still have an effect. Like social media, though it's normal for anyone to reach you at any time, It still makes cyber bullying more hurtful.

Nah, I just assume it's someone that really likes something. Kind of like saying food-porn but even less sexual. Like Audiophile is common parlance that evokes no sexual meaning.

I've only personally owned the Anycubic Vyper which is supplanted by the Kobra. I've had it for ~3 years with a decent amount of use and abuse. It's very forgiving and when you work on it you aren't worried about breaking a 1k+ machine. That being said, since I use it so much, I've been thinking about upgrading to the Bamboo Labs P1 series for multifilament prints. If you're going to be making smaller prints with finer detail, Like if you're into model/figurine painting, you might want to look into resin printers. They're more of a process to use, but you can get some amazing results.

As for software, I use Blender, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's just what I had previous experience with. People in the space seem to really love Fusion360. But I can't in good conscience recommend an AutoDesk product without a fat asterisk after it. They pull similar DRM shenanigans as Adobe. So checkout TinkerCAD. Or just Google: parametric modeling software.

Haha, that's so smart! Yeah I'm considering printing car accessories, so I bought ASA filament which should stand up to the temperatures in a car and not degrade from the suns UV.

3D Printer. You'll probably need to learn a bit of 3D modeling to get the most out of it and it is a hobby in its own right... But man, the amount of little bullshit stuff I had to buy from Amazon that now I print for pennies and to the exact specifications that I need. I made a new door shelf for my fridge to hold my coffee carafe, a door stop, a loop for my bedside table to hold cables, bracket to hold my webcam, hydroponics tower, drawer organizers, pegboard hooks, a plate to cover a weird shaped hole in my wall, a bracket to hang a rgb smart bulb behind my monitor, a phone stand, angled smart doorbell mount, broom and mop hanger, board games, and of course attachments for my 3D printer!!

As someone with a hairy butt, I use the same amount of toilet paper for drying. But my ass is WAY cleaner.

Well at this point they might be the weird one if they're named Anna.

Kinda off topic, but I love Lemmy. How many more people actually think about what they say here. Refreshing compared to a lot of other social media. Anyway thanks for listening to others point of views.

You caused me no distress, I was just inspired by your comment to share my perspective.

If a machine isn't an athlete for throwing a football, there are no athletes. If a computer can't be a musician, there are no musicians. The line you're drawing where a computer is worthy of being called an artist, is whether or not it was created by evolution. But there's no technical differences between the two. Or at least there won't be soon.

I understand you're under a different opinion and I thank you for it. I have no need to change it.

This is because different people enjoy different things about art. Some people see it as a connection, hearing another person's voice in the piece. Some love to see sacrifice, like spending hundreds of hours on creating something. Some view it almost like a sport and want to see a display of pinnacle skill. Others want the art to connect with them and their past.

I just need to press a button and my DSLR will automatically upload the picture I took. Is photography art? Different people get different things from art. If you want to see something that took a human a hundred hours of consideration, that's fine. But I don't care what the artist was thinking most of the time. I care how it makes me feel. What inspiration it sparks in my mind. I've been moved and inspired by AI art. Admittedly I could also probably have been moved by inkblots. But people hang inkblot prints in their house because it does something for them. Art is subjective, meaning it's more about the subject viewing it than the artist.

You talking about humans or AI?

Can animals or aliens create art?

So it won't be popular. But then there is AI art that's popular isn't there? Did a landscape have a point of view when someone took a picture of it? No. But the photographer and everyone that saw something in it afterwards did. The viewer can give the piece meaning. It's well known that art is subjective. That means you, the subject, determine if what you're seeing is evoking emotion.

For what it's worth, I don't think the brain is magic. So someday something synthetic will have a complex opinion and express it metaphorically. Maybe we're already there, just not on a human level. Could a rat make art? Because at some point soon computers are going to be on the spectrum of intelligence of a living thing, if it's not already.

Well for the majority of human existence we got by on talking to each other in person. So I think the collapse of humanity is a bit dramatic.

Now, as we've seen with torrenting, if any country doesn't comply or enforce laws against how their citizens should interact with the internet you can just VPN through that country to do what you want.

Ok so

1. Create the infrastructure for an entire world government.
2. Force every country to join and fully enforce laws tying every person to their online accounts.
3. Of course this will create a dangerous police-state like China's government for many countries where speaking out against your government is dealt with harshly. So either abolish free speech or fix all corruption in all the countries in the world.
4. Of course this level of control over the world will attract a lot of corruption itself, so build an unassailable global set of checks and balances for how this government should be run that literally everyone on earth can agree on.

Or

Proper journalism.

Is it possible this is because of Apple though? Feels like a whole generation is coming of age that we're told they were too dumb to figure out settings and to just let papa Apple take care of all that nerd shit.

Isn't that the art piece? That it's being sexist in a way that's impacted women... But in a way that's obvious to men? Yeah it's clearly sexist. That's messed up. That's the point.

True that it doesn't mention the sexiest things that affect men and other women. But not every art piece has to capture every element of the human experience. This was focused on one point.

Don't get me started on the sham that is recycling icons 😂

I'm all for making regulation that would require media companies to disclose that something is fake if it could be reasonably taken as truth. But that doesn't solve the problem of anyone with a computer pumping fake images on to the web. What you're suggesting would require a world government that has chip level access to anything with a CPU.

As for the public enforcing the truth; that's what I'm suggesting. Assume anything you see online could be fake. Only trust trustworthy institutions that back up their media with verifiable facts.

There's no realistic way to enforce that. The answer is to go the other way. We used to have systems in place for accountability of information. We need to bring back institutions for journalism and historians to be trustworthy sources that cite their work and show their research.
