And now you know why corporations and politicians don’t use mastodon

Stop spilling your hate of Europe

Pushing authoritarian laws and surveillance is being hateful toward europe and everyone who lives there.

and you seem projecting something

You are such a bad faith actor it’s insane.

We are discussing authoritarian laws that limits people freedom and the argument you are using is that “the law is the law”. You are being a bad faith actor yourself as big as the burj khalifa. If we were in nazi germany you would be backing the racist laws because they are laws.

It’s a basic societal understanding that if we live in a society there will be laws to stop bad shit from happening.

There’s more bad shit happening due to weed being illegal, like entire criminal organizations smuggling it which resulted in the government of france trying to ban encryption to fight them.

I’m simply tagging here someone who just yesterday called me out for highlighting authoritarian shit in a thread claiming europe to be “the land of the free”.

I have difficulty to believe people like you dont have an agenda and are not purposefully trolling.

You sound to have a much bigger agenda if you ask me, i’m not taking the side of any authoritarian government or bill here.

easy block potential

You don’t sound too smart and quite prone to lose your patience so i encourage you to engage in arguments with people rather than blocking them.

“Europe is bad actually!” or whatever the fuck nonsense they were arguing about…

We are in a thread discussing a bill aimed at forcing ID verification for certain websites, this is quite bad.

Don’t get fooled buddy we are clearly not all human beings living in the same planet…

Having an higher GDP doesn’t mean you have to spend more

Germany alone is already spending 66 billions a year in “defense”. If they were spending 120 billions and the government would said “we need more” you would drink it arguing that some military spending is good.

We are already all armed to the teeth and waging wars against each others. The same governments increasing the “defense” budget to defend us from evil russia are backing israel in a genocide, no government here has really good intentions.

To me this sound like propaganda to justify military spending. Stockpiling weapons benefits authoritarian governments and rich people.

The numbers speak for themself.

Who said that AI art doesn’t carry a message or emotions? With AI you can create much easily photorealistic faces that carries twice the emotion than a sketch with frog eyes.

An artist using references doesn’t just copy and paste, there’s a whole process of understanding what they’re looking at, their interpretation of it, of why it is like that and of how they can learn something new from it, things that AI generators cannot do.

Why are you assuming there’s no artistic process behind using image generators? Have you ever play around with graphic softwares?

There are a thousand ways you can make art. In the japanese industry they use may techniques that one could consider gimmicks, for example even famous mangaka have assistants who draw for them or they use 3d models or real pictures as backgrounds.

with traditional art you have to put skill, knowledge and personality into your work, with digital art it’s the same thing but with computers, with AI “art” you don’t.

I think many people here have a romantic view of how art is made and never tried AI image generators. Would you be able to tell apart an artist who use reference pictures and one who doesn’t?
