That Minecraft one is kind of legit, I have to say. Though I have mixed feelings on the whole concept of a "cool" coffin. I guess it's not hurting anyone, either way

I don't know about the image as a whole but the text on the coffin specifically looks suspicious.

That's right! The skull goes in the square hole

When I consider this issue, the analogy looks more like someone has invented a robot to do contractor work. Of course it's true that it will put many human contractors out of work.

But no, I don't think using the robot is malicious - it is, after all, hugely convenient. I would love to have access to those kinds of skills without all the trial, effort, and investment it would take for me to pick them up myself.

I could even rationalize it by thinking, why shouldn't I? Pandora's box has been opened and my participation won't make a difference by this point. I may even be right.

I don't have a whole lot of use for art in May day to day, so it doesn't cost me much to decide not to use AI for it. When I think of all the atrocities in the world taking place to enable me to live a comfortable North American life up to this point, I find I can live without this one.

I guess I'm trying to make the point that I don't want to guilt anyone for using AI for this or anything, but I encourage everyone to truly understand the consequences of the technology we're using and do some self-reflection. Do you have space in your moral convictions for this? Does this cross any of my values? If you can stomach it, go crazy, but do so without blinders.

There are literally millions of pieces of art everywhere that are free or basically free to view and in many cases use for whatever your heart desires. This is about not getting exactly the piece of art you want to see created and as it turns out there is another alternative open to those without the money to pay artists.

Funny enough, I think I see what you're getting at, and I think it's because the preview cuts off the front and back of the thing. Gives your mind the freedom to imagine that this rolling attempt at cubism ends like a car and not like a cliff.

On the other hand sometimes I come away from an interaction thinking "Damn, I was on today!" so I've learned to forgive myself for not always being there.

Do you think they meant for this to look like a scorpion about to fuck shit up

Flatlanders are known for their ability to generate triangles using nothing but angles. This specimen is currently flexing on the haters.

Went to see Unicorn just as it came out - purely by chance, I was in town and needed to kill a couple of hours.

You'll find this out if you look at most reviews, but it's a solid 6/10 movie. It's competent and has an interesting premise, but it doesn't do anything terribly original with it. The "scare" moments were predictable to even a passive fan of horror, though not unearned.

What brings it out of mediocrity are the performances; the whole cast is bringing their A game. Even if the characters never really surprise you, they're still somehow believable and it's easy to root for (or against) them.
