the meaning of “bucket list” has been watered down to homeopathic levels smdh

Everybody else is shitting on your AI use, so I'll criticize something else:
Chili.
I am not convinced the crash of USian society will actually end the worship of the bourgeoisie
The imperial core imploding would at least open up possibilities for different types of development. The US has been the main actor working to destroy every socialist project. With them gone, and China becoming the new dominant power in the world, there will be far more room for socialist development.
Wish I had your optimism. Removal of the hegemon won't remove the reactionary regimes they've installed and/or supported - be it in Europe, Africa, or elsewhere. And it's not like they will change their ways, more likely they'll start competing with each other to see who'll be the new local head honcho. And China won't do anything about it. China is still trading with Israel and the like.
The irony of using AI to generate an image about enjoying the downfall of the tech oligarchy. They thank you for your data
Reminds me of this meme I saved

This is what happens when you're aggressively ignorant about a particular technology, and you don't even realize that you can run open image gen models on your machine. https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo
I also love how Americans think that the burger reich is the only place where this tech is developed.
I just don’t like the way it looks, personally
Plus environmental impact n all that
As opposed to the environmental impact of running any other software on your computer?
Well if simply making an image takes more energy than running my fridge for a week then it’s not worth it. Why are you being so obtuse about this?
According to a quick internet search, an average fridge takes 1-2kWh per day, so that's at least 7kWh per week.
Making an image takes ~20 seconds. My computer, for example, has a 700W PSU, so it can't draw more power than that. That's at most 0.004kWh.
Well if 0.004kWh takes more energy than 7kWh then it’s not worth it.
Seems like your statement is going to the else branch.
What part of image gen models run on your computer and use about the same amount of power as playing a game are you still struggling with here? Why are you being so obtuse about this?
Did you generate this yourself? What program do you use? Did you make this FOR yourself? Because you posted it for others to look at. I’m not the only one who doesn’t like looking at it.
To answer your question; it’s your problem I don’t like looking at it. Fuck your dumbass AI.
If it were my choice I’d make all you turn off your computers for a day no matter how much energy it took. Lol. You get a daily limit. Maybe then you’d have to go outside or practice making art that isn’t horrendous AI imitation of real humans real art.
How is that my problem exactly?
How isn’t it? We all live on the same planet buddy. Make your own shit
Why do slopperators get so red in the face when their low effort slop is criticized for being soulless ugly trash that pollutes not just our environment but our social media feeds? In all my time on the internet, I've never seen redditors or 4channers get this upset over their shitposts being received negatively. It's some new form of AI induced rage.
I mean, it's either American (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) Billionaires or Chinese (Alibaba, Z. AI) Billionaires making the models.
And even if you find a model not built by the billionaire class, you still require datacenters to train the models.
And even then, the data required to build these models must take from millions of artists/writers/etc.
I'm not saying you have to hate AI, but saying you can run a model locally doesn't change who created it and how they created it.
The key difference is that Chinese companies release their models in the open. And nothing is stopping people from building on that using community efforts instead of whinging about AI incessantly. Meanwhile, the data has already been taken, and I don't believe in copyrights in the first place. There are real arguments to be made against closed proprietary models, but there aren't really any good arguments against open ones.
Ah yes, love me some chicken legs on my chilli. It goes really well with the strange deformed orange I keep next to my football. And once I'm done eating, I like to take a walk with my non-matching boots.

such a great example of a Pavlovian response
Such a great example of huffing your own farts. Fuck your ugly AI bullshit. I hope you feel so much smarter than the rest of us. Haha Pavlovian. Fuck off. Pretentious prick
stay mad muffin
Telling me to grow up while basically saying “u mad” is a bold move. Fuck your dumb ai
Being the toxic individual that you are, I doubt even an AI would fuck you.
toxic? Implying random people to be beneath you as Pavlovian salivating dogs, calling others “cultists”, and then taking a jab at my sex life?
And I’m being toxic?
You don’t know the first thing about me. I’m a name on a screen to you. AI infected your soul or psyche or something cuz you’re stooping low. Bringing sex into this is gross and immature, man.
I love how you just can't help yourself but keep replying, Pavlovian indeed. 🤣
'Murican fall bucket list*
And stop posting AI bullshit.
This will be a hard pill for you to swallow, but everybody doesn't share your obsessions.
I think it’s ok to admit you’re wrong sometimes. You can be the most based forward thinking person ever and still be wrong about stuff. People just don’t really like AI. You won’t get anyone to come around to anti-art sentiment and that’s ok.
The irony of you talking about being wrong when you claim that running image gen model on a laptop takes more power than running your fridge for a week is really delicious. I don't expect people in a cult to come around to my opinion either. You're just noise generators collectively spamming online forums.
You really think I’m in a cult because I don’t like AI? That’s a childish interpretation of my statement at best. Grow up dude.
If I’m wrong then I’m wrong. I’d like to see you prove me wrong. Go ahead. Press a button and generate a nice little picture for me too. I’m sure you’d love it!
