the way it generates vertical lift with the blades and it's positioning on the frame + small/light body makes it super easy for it to lose balance and crash

Well for one like nobody in Xinjiang wants independence. It's like a couple hundred fundamentalist Islamic terrorists that the ClA funded

I volunteer 🥺

They understand perfectly well

From my reading, the people are way less US worshipping than Philippines or Vietnam

And TSMC of course. No idea about the Taiwan government

Can I ask how you think 9/11 went down?

Your opinion on COVID and the vaccines?

God communists are so fucking smart. You're entirely correct (here's my close up observations here https://hexbear.net/comment/4860832)

I'm ashamed to admit I've fallen into the same trap until recently. It's actually fucking wild because almost everybody I meet actually does just heap absurd praise and worship onto me. Even the blue collar workers in the office will sprint to clean up the tiny spill I made when I'm cleaning it up and tell me to please not because that's their job

I remember on my very first day, I asked for directions to a certain room and some guy helped me out, asked me my name what I do. When I told him, he replied with his name and said "Oh, but I'm only a contractor" and sheepishly showed me his contractor work badge and bowed before leaving like he was kneeling before a lord or something to show me fealty

tiktok doesnt suppress them like other platforms

They do the moment they start speaking out against US imperial interests against the typical main targets. Anything less than that though is fine

I think I see a lot of those encampments have ANSWER/PSL signs?

Would that militancy be PSLs style?

Do we not really know revenue being generated that is directly attributable to Tik Tok?

It'd be unlikely that Tiktok shares this detailed of financials to us. I'd imagine that Google data above got leaked from a random employee, they have a ton of analytics open to all workers

They do, the ASML CEO fought back against the sanctions and said if they go through, China will develop the technology themselves and lose all their business

The Dutch president overrided him and went ahead with the sanctions anyways

Lmao everything the sneaky Chinese does is always "quiet"

They've openly said this and like, literally everything else they do loud and proud, just that nobody ever listens and on the rare chance they do, never trusts them

Is gen AI not just a tool like anything else?

I'm sure realism artists went through this exact same conversation when photography first started emerging as a new style of art. Or when people first started to trace the outlines of objects they wanted to draw

The amount of labor has 0 bearing on the value or legitimacy of art. The only thing labor provides is that with more labor, you can accomplish more than with less labor

An AI model is not a human but the very barebones of all it's inputs is the culmination of human art. There was a human deciding how to use the gen AI tool to make the art, what adjustments and edits to make to the piece, which ones to discard and which ones to use, etc.

AI art is taking a bunch of human made art and using that as a base to produce something else but is that not how all human made art is? Progressive steps built on top of knowledge and awareness of previously existing human art

As long as people are honest a piece of art was created using gen AI and explicitly label them as such, I fail to see how it's different than Photoshop, Illustrator, Photography, etc.

I feel the issue is everybody is trying to compare gen AI art to current forms of art when it should really be considered in its own categorization
