Art classes can introduce you to new techniques that you wouldn't have otherwise pursued and elevate your art to greater heights. Depending on the school, it also helps with networking. Lotsa famous animators at places like CalArts, Sheridan, Gobelins, etc.

I often hear AI enthusiasts say that AI democratized art. As if art weren't already democratized. Most anyone can pick up a pen, draw, write, type, move a mouse, etc. What AI democratizes in art, is the perception of skill. Which is why when you find out a piece of art was made by inputting some short prompt into a generator, you become disappointed. Because it would be cool, if the person actually had the skill to draw that. Pushing a few buttons to get that, not so much.

Edit:spelling and spacing

Push to decentralize, that is to push users from more popular instances to less popular ones, would be good then I guess.

It's sort of an extension of lolcow culture. This is a vid I recommend to watch to understand it.

Tbh, I don't know why a push by more left leaning sites hasn't happened? This would at the very least show the broader unpopularity of the age verification law among pretty much both sides.

Monero is good, but is currently facing troubles of their own with potential 51% attacks.

Isn't the "for-profit" Mozilla Corporation owned by the "non-profit" Mozilla Foundation though?

Yeah "family friendly" = advertisable.

I mean. A social database I feel is toxic in of itself. It's makes forgiveness harder, it makes changing yourself harder. What's the point in changing if people are gonna look you up in a database like this and perhaps forevermore treat you as if you are like that in the present day, forever. It assumes that humans are unchanging, that once a shitty person always a shitty person.

Aren't the devs of Lemmy Marxist leninist or something and .ml is one of their instances?

 

Generated using chatgpt on my lunch break at work since I'm a lazy ass with no talent. Something I wrote on some other post with the same image:

You know what I find funny. The US fucking whinges about China nearly all the time. Yet they seek to become Insular and Autarkic. They make the same mistake the Qing Dynasty did.

The Qing dynasty, is often seen as prizing its material abundance and cultural legacy so highly that it sometimes failed to adapt to new challenges and technological advancements. This narrow focus is often cited as one of the factors that contributed to their eventual decline.

Equating the greatness or state of the nation with it's wealth. That's the fall.
