When it comes to selection, we already have a valid form of copyright which is explicitly that- compositions. If I take a bunch of royalty-free songs, and make a book of sheet music where I hand selected songs to be in that book, I can own a copyright on the composition without owning any of the featured material.

So, if someone selects a bunch of individual elements in an image using img2img, is that now a composition?

I accidentally submitted early, but also, I wrote out the lyrics. It's the most bland version of those breakup-depression kind of songs imaginable. I guess people voted it as "feel-good" out of irony.

Sitting at my favorite cafe

Sipping my tea it's saturday

Thinking about all he's done, to everyone

This town is full of broken dreams

Shattered hopes, and silent screams

Somebody please help me

Betrayed by this town

Let's tear it all down

We're all just destined to fall

I've lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let's tear it all down

We're all just destined to fall

We've lost it all

Alone in the streets, alone in my thoughts

Thinking of all our favorite spots

I thought someday things might turn around

But I was lost and never found

Betrayed by this town

Let's tear it all down

We're all just destined to fall

I've lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let's tear it all down

We're all just destined to fall

We've lost it all

Faces painted with smiles

Lies are told

A facade of unity

A vitality sold

So I sit here in silence

Just wondering how

To rewrite the tales

This town won't allow

Betrayed by this town

Let's tear it all down

We're all just destined to fall

I've lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let's tear it all down

We're all just destined to fall

We've lost it all

I've lost it all

We've lost it all

I have a feeling they knew how this would be received considering it seems like they're rage-baiting and acting pretentious to try and get attention.

Some AI generated images can require a lot of tweaking to get a final result. For example, someone might have a workflow that involves generating several images, then picking one as a base. They then take that base, and use img2img to rework certain parts to suit a vision before applying a set of post-processing effects in a traditional editor.

Or, they generate an image and use it as a base for some sort of more traditional art, or use AI generated elements in a work that is otherwise drawn traditionally.

There's a lot of grey where I think just dismissing any creative vision is doing disrespect to the person that wanted to make something out of that vision, and put in a good amount of work outside just proompting and taking the first image that looked okay.

The issue, I think, was because most of what I use it for is anime. So some shows wanted the Japanese title, others wanted the English title, some couldn't be found at all. My US TV shows and movies never had that problem.

The title matching is what made me go to Plex. Some shows were impossible to get sorted right on Jellyfin. Plus there's a lot more ecosystem around Plex

One of my favorite search ads that appeared in the mid 2000s happened when I was bored. I searched "grandpa" without any context just to see what would come up, because I really was that bored. One of the ads that appeared was one of those where they just shove your search in the title verbatim so someone not paying attention might think it was what they wanted.

It said something like "Looking for grandpa? Find great deals here!" I don't remember exactly what the second part said, but the "Looking for grandpa?" part made me bust out laughing. I then started searching other random stuff to try and get something equally stupid, but it didn't capture me quite the same way. Either way, my boredom was alleviated.

AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.

AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it's become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.

Haven't these stupid hair policies been deemed discriminatory based on sex for years now, regardless of your culture?

And they were even kind enough to put it in writing. The culture aspect of it just makes what's already discrimination, worse.

Yes, I'm not sure if it'll be ready by this year's tax season or not, but it was happening. Last I heard they were doing some limited runs on it.

I don't run a directly customer facing department anymore, but when I ran electronics I got to be both the employee that didn't know much, and the one that tells you more than you asked for.

I went to college for network admin, but never actually landed a career in it because COVID hit right after I graduated. I've done a bit of everything with computers and can speak to a lot of things.

But I haven't used every electronic device we sold or have even basic knowledge of some of them, so I had to fall back on "Well, a lot of people buy this one, so there's probably something nice happening there."

For those in the US: Learn how to file your own taxes. It's really simple for the large majority of people, and usually just consists of copying numbers into boxes off a sheet your employer made for you. After you've done it once, subsequent times you'll probably have it done yourself in less than half an hour.

You can do it for free on a ton of sites unless you make significant income, freetaxusa is typically the most highly recommended one.

That's not what they said, you're presenting a false dichotomy. The truth is, in determining what another person feels, if you refuse to trust their words, then you can trust nothing. Yes, there are signals that hint at things that might lay below, but you cannot tell someone what their inner thoughts are better than they themselves.

In that vein, something often said of those who have killed themselves is "but I saw them yesterday and they looked so happy!" By your logic, if they looked happy they must have been happy, and just felt like ending it one day for no real reason.

I discovered that when playing FarCry 5. I attached cheat engine to it to do some messing about and the game would force crash itself every time. Annoyed me that I couldn't ruin my own SP experience

I remember reading about companies developing ML based software that touted some effectiveness at replacing CEOs, though it never seemed to have went anywhere.

I always think the revelation types that think they're definitely getting saved before the apocalypse is funny. The Bible says 144,000 will be saved, but the current estimate of Christians on earth is about 2.2 billion from what I can find. So you just gotta hit that 0.006545% chance.

While they're at it, they can go to the casino, bet their entire life savings on a single number on the roulette wheel, do that twice in a row, and their odds of winning that are 11x higher than being picked for rapture.

Art of the deal

I can't believe a random technical error would design and deploy a Black Friday popup ad right at the time of year where it would be relevant.

The machines are going too far, we need to shut them down.

I like how for all the problems Brazil has, the consumer protection laws are consistently some of the best around.

Unless the original standard agrees and implements it, then you've just created a new standard.
