Winner of the Most Downvoted Post on Lemmy 🏆
Just to suck the life out of this (yet another) hilarious vignette, did you know, according to the data gathered by defenders.org, in the United States more people are killed by cows than wolves?! The UK-based theconversation.com has a webpage advising how to stay safe around a killer herd!

One of the internet’s biggest secrets hiding in plain sight. The VHS Vault: now celebrating their 7th year of curating color bloom, drop-outs and questionably legal content, all in glorious 720×480 NTSC video! 🤣
All kidding aside though, thanks, @minnix! 👍 There are some definite gems amongst the…uhmm…non-gems?
Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don’t get caught!

@minnix@lemux.minnix.dev, it’s one of my favorite movies too! ❤
The Terrible Secret of Mulholland Drive
I’m not a big fan of YouTubers analyzing Lynch’s works but I felt this one fills in the gaps in the film’s popular dream-logic “explanation”…
like the film’s continuance after the main character’s death, which always stuck in my throat.
It’s a little long, around an hour, but if you can overlook host Rosseter’s terrible David Lynch impression, it’s definitely well thought out.
Cheers!,

Why? Is there more than one kind?

All the stinkin’ time. 😒
some of us need to forget how much life sucks and watch a guy with a hammer beat alien skulls into paste.
Whoa. I think you’re late for your shrink. Don’t forget to take your meds. My life doesn’t suck or at least not that bad.
FRINGE! Not CRINGE, FRINGE! Bad luck to post FRINGE!
Yes need for sass. SASS!! You ARE showing your age!
Nostalgia for a TV series that is most likely available for viewing AT THIS VERY MOMENT? That’s like saying you’re feeling nostalgic about The Big Bang Theory! It NEVER went away!
Maybe you mean nostalgia for the first encounter, like your first kiss? “I remember when I first saw Fringe…and now I’m seeing it on Netflix for the seventh complete run-through of all the seasons.” “Oh, ham and American cheese sandwich, I remember the first time Mom made you for me in 1st grade…”
How do you get through your day, all misty-eyed like that? Now THAT’S SASS!
“Forgotten masterpiece,” says the amnesia victim. Nostalgiafest?? It’s only from.2008-2013!
Wait til you hear about a series of movies about a guy who discovers nothing is real and in reality humans are battling against a giant sentient computer that uses people like batteries! It’s from —GASP!— PREHISTORIC 1999-2003!!
Great. Just what we need. More glamourization of sociopath idiots.
Yes.
Gopher lost out to WWW in part because Gopher was proprietary
That may be so but gopher was never any fun in comparison to www
There’s a person that serves a weather reporting system via a finger interface at (finger://graph.no/)…
That’s neat! Thanks!
Seriously? You’re pointing me to Reddit for an example of high-quality content. Never mind.
That’s pretty vague. Any examples?
As I’d just written in another reply here, there is a world of difference in describing an illustration and creating an illustration.
Our thinking is not that different. There is a world of difference of describing an image and creating it.
But I have to strongly disagree with the rest of your assessment. Beyond the flood of six-fingered waifu, I’ve seen some beautiful, legitimate works created by this new tool. If you have to use an “ai algo” you’ve already defeated the purpose. It’s illustrations we’re discussing here, not banknotes.
BTW, do you consider Photoshop/Krita/GIMP artists “scammers”? Blender/Maya/Cinema4D artists? Who are these “actual artists” of which you speak?
In any case, we’re still in uncharted territory. And personally I’m not crazy about the work in question. It LOOKS (by my “actual artist trained eyes”) AI generated, regardless of the human Photoshop retouching involved.
While my thinking is in line with what @TheLobotomist@lemmy.world and @NateNate60@lemmy.ml have already said, why can’t “AI artists” just do what everybody in a profit-seeking situation does and just lie about it? “No your honor, our studies have shown cigarette smoking is not hazardous to your health,” “yes, your honor, OxyContin is completely safe,” or in this case “yes, your honor, I created this illustration.” If your conscience is really bothering you, you could claim it was AI-assisted. I wouldn’t think there’d be a “Big Eyes” prove-you-painted-that courtroom case. Am I wrong?
