“huh, i did not know this artist, looks good, this style reminds me of that other artist i can’t remember the name…” “wait…” “ok the sets are inconsistent in the details and this person posts every day, like 10 images a day… it’s just AI… sigh”
this is the thing, it doesn’t matter how “good” your ai-gen images are, they have this sheen of fakeness, and when you connect the dots it’s just… not something you’d want to see again, i mean sure, congrats with whatever stack you came up with to generate those, but… you didn’t do anything
it’s hard to put into words but there is something fundamentally wrong with it, it’s more of a vibe than objective. maybe the hands look alright, maybe the composition doesn’t have any immediate mistakes, but knowing no human did that just makes me not want to see it
plus you know, derivative, because it’s gen ai, it doesn’t know how to draw, it just knows how to generate images that look like what someone would’ve drawn
if you are curious the artist it reminded me of was jiroo (aka D_jiroo), it’s a hentai artist, look up on your own fun fact they moved from fanbox to fantia and no one has uploaded anything of theirs now bc no one has fantia lol (if I’m not mistaken you cannot use traditional payment processors so it’s a very japanese place)
My illustration of a fat magpie, a real drawing - not made by digital imaging or AI generated shite. It was inspired by another illustration I came across whilst browsing for ideas.

Disaster Strikes Again: Two Rescued, Four Found Drowned, Unknown Number Missing South of Lesvos In the early hours of today, tragedy struck once more in the Aegean. A boat carrying an unknown number of refugees, travelling from Karaburun in Turkey towards the Greek island of Lesvos, capsized south of Lesvos. The Turkish Coast Guard was alerted and launched a large-scale rescue operation involving a helicopter, a drone, a Coast Guard vessel, and five patrol boats. Several commercial ships were also called in to assist, including the Liberian-registered tanker Kriti Legende, the Portuguese container ship EF Elena, and the Turkish oil tanker T. Kilyos. So far, two people have been rescued and four bodies recovered. The number of missing remains unknown. Due to the scale of the ongoing search-and-rescue operation, it is feared the death toll will rise.

At the level of mitochondria, mice and humans are pretty close analogues of eachother.
@JackHadfield14@birdsite > 🔬New study shows SARS-CoV-2 causes direct damage to heart cell mitochondria - even months after recovery - helping potentially explain Long COVID heart symptoms like chest pain, palpitations & fatigue. > Been waiting to have time to read this paper. Let’s break it down. 🧵 > Researchers studied 5 people who had COVID-19 weeks or months earlier.

Structural damage inside the heart muscle cells. > Using electron microscopes, researchers saw that mitochondria - the energy-producing parts of cells - were swollen, full of holes, and missing their inner structure (cristae). > This was found in 40-60% of mitochondria in each patient’s heart cells. > This mitochondrial damage happened even in patients 2-3 months post-COVID, suggesting it can persist long after infection clears. > Loss of cristae means the cell can’t produce enough energy (ATP), which could explain Long COVID symptoms like fatigue and heart issues. >- Collagen buildup (fibrosis) in the heart muscle >- Signs of cell aging (lipofuscin pigment) > - Myofibril damage (these are structures needed for heart muscle contraction) > All of this weakens heart function, even without visible scarring on MRI. > One patient - a healthy 30-year-old man - collapsed during exercise due to cardiac arrest. He had no blocked arteries and no heart disease history. > Biopsy revealed severe mitochondrial damage and mild myocarditis.

You already have the skills needed to support the #FreeSoftware movement, even if you don't have experience in coding. Help us live in a freer world by volunteering with the #FSF: fsf.org/volunteer
Forget coding, if you know how to get their damn mirrors to cooperate and update, or shift to a faster one when one crawls to 1200BAUD rate .. that would be nice.
9/10 times downloading code from them is next to impossible ...
Unless you life in the #MAGA circle of friends which is GREAT ..
It seems that debasing themselves is all they know, and has become so normal to them, that they think it somehow has the opposite effect of what it actually does.
“Sure you hate republicans, but do you hate them enough to jam a laser pointer in your butt and wiggle around on stage half naked?!?! Didn’t think so you coward!”

that’s pretty cool! my main training sword was made in this city in Poland where this tomb has been discovered. The guy that made it uses historical blacksmithing techniques passed down to him.
(a) she wants other dudes (bad likely outcome) (b) she wants him to have other partners (bad less likely outcome) (c) she wants him to fuck her friend while she's watching and maybe giving head to her friend afterwards (only good outcome)
Do as much as you can to make the world a better place, and be content with your efforts regardless of whether or not they are successful. You’ll never be able to save the world single-handedly no matter what you can do; all you can do is make one person’s worth of effort. Make peace with that. caitlinjohnst.one/p/some-sugge…

Starmer has been urged to recall Parliament to “impose immediate sanctions” on Israel in a joint letter signed by politicians in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
Starmer's never in the country long enough to do anything - definitely nothing that requires a decision against the #FriendsOfIsrael. There's always a fire to fight somewhere overseas that needs his experience and wisdom.
