Consider yourself blessed to be unaware of the entire digital media ecosystem that targets insecure white men via their preferred fandoms and is dedicated to blaming women and minorities for their issues.

This is hilarious to me so I looked up the original article and I am pretty sure that it is largely written by AI.

Also, not that it needs or deserves any kind of analysis, but the central premise (as much as I can decipher from all the ChatGPT fluff) appears to be: "Because Trekkies are conservative, Star Trek is doing everything it can to make men hate it." which obviously makes no sense. Why would a company create a piece of media knowing it would be unpopular with it's core demographic?

Anyway thanks for the laugh, OP.

Thankfully I don't think economic demand for AI generated visuals is nearly as high as the human crafted variety

I was going to report to the mod but... the mod is the one who posted it. Guess I'm unsubbing.

When billionaires complain about how windmills "ruin the view" but then are quiet about oil rigs, you can tell that it's not about the view.

That's really astute, I've never seen that comparison drawn so directly. It's the same situation with the people who claim that AI "democratizes" art by allowing someone to have a "work" of art without putting in the work of creating which is what makes a work a thing to be desired in the first place.

Yep well said. My hope is that Google's recent changes will encourage some activity into other projects or (even better) a Linux Phone OS.

There's no author, and a source isn't mentioned anywhere.

If that information is missing it's either AI or it means OP stole it without crediting which is even worse.

I want a blocklist of every community that allows AI slop and every user that has posted it.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said "similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft" and I didn't read further.

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.

Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the ~~Kaleido~~ Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.

Oh my goodness automatic theme transitions finally!
