@admitsWrongIfProven what about those are uniquely 'turtle'?

@admitsWrongIfProven what convinced you that you were a turtle?

@arcanesciences @oddtail for what it's worth, I extract a great deal of personal joy and wonder from the window into humanity's art that the models enable. They are the tool I needed to explore my own personal creativity in a way that I could never have imagined before.

@mkennedy sadly, this period in history will almost certainly be considered some kind of dark age. Digital rot, at massive twitter collapses speed, or just standard technology failure rate is going to eat everything we do. Things feel permanent once they're "on the internet" but over time quite the opposite is true.

@arcanesciences @oddtail I like the idea of paying someone a commission any time a prompt "... in the style of ___" is used.

What is the reason you create? (if you don't mind my asking, of course)

@arcanesciences @oddtail creating derivative works without permission from the original's creator is the issue?

@oddtail I can't figure out how to make this question sound inquisitive rather than aggressive, so please forgive me. I am legitimately curious about the perspective that use by AI training models is IP theft though. Help me better understand?

@anotheruniqueid@techhub.social @mikegalsworthy twitter is/was so bad at data security/privacy that the federal government had to step in and slap them around to the tune of.. 5 billion, I believe?

I agree that mastadon servers in general are more vulnerable. There will be multiple attacks, supply chain, protocol exploits, etc that cut the network to ribbons if the overall userbase grows enough to warrant the attention. If you've got a password unique to mastadon though, you don't have much to worry about except someone impersonating you - nobody's collecting ridiculously invasive details about your interests/activities here

my favorite thing about #aiart is the exploration.

@Wayne_Murillo the biggest issue with blockchain is that there isn't a use case for it outside difficult to trace payments

@anotheruniqueid@techhub.social @mikegalsworthy certainly some truth to that but more of the burden sits in the hands of SOCs than you might expect. They are also notoriously understaffed. If the layoffs hit them even a quarter as hard as the rest of the workforce.. it's not going to be good.

@apinae the questions were really good. Good answers, or at least answers that indicated he understood the context and reason for the question, could have had a really powerful positive impact on morale. I don't know but I seriously doubt that performance did.

@quasifrodo in the freezer! 😆

@ceoln ooo, that's a neat idea. I like to explore adjectives, for lack of a better way to explain it. I imagine a set of, sometime conflicting, adjectives and slap a noun into them somewhere. Then I play with different nouns. A lot of nonsense and garbage comes of it but every now and then I stumble on something that's really cool (to me, of course 😆 ). As a bonus, I feel like I'm getting a sense for what humans as a whole imagine when they say things like "angelic, demonic, beautiful, terrifying, etc". A bit crazy, but fun!
