Wait, he didn’t just try to claim copyright over AI created material… he tried to claim the AI could copyright it?

Lol. Lmao, even.

If the refrigerant on my fridge leaked and they refused to fix it, I’d sure swear off their ACs too, yeah.

ASUS annihilated the possibility I’d ever buy any ASUS product after the way they handled the 7800X3D/AM5 VoC issue. I had never really noticed, but a pretty big swathe of my tech came from them (laptop, monitor, and motherboard among others) but no more.

I remember idly wondering how DMs worked in Lemmy, and I was kinda shocked when I realized they aren’t secure.

There’s some serious false equivalency going on if you think a $10 “support the devs” pack (that was given out to free for everyone who bought early access) is worthy of ire like the usual AAA MTX hellscape.

Launcher is trash though.

Assuming you haven’t already, Jocat’s “Crap Guide to D&D” series is an entertaining little primer! IIRC the most relevant one would be the character sheet episode, followed by the individual class episodes.

101st Airborne has been issued new M4A1’s since 2012, and the Army has been converting M4s to M4A1s since 2014.

It might could work in a pinch, especially if they used the ARs as squad marksman rifles? I just doubt its the kind of compromise Ukraine wants to make for its front-line equipment.

Real issue is actually going to be a (lack of) full auto. Sincerely doubt anything in these pics is an MG. Even if Ukraine fabricates automatic components (drop-in-auto-sears do exist for ARs), the barrels aren’t going to hold up to automatic fire well.

They might be useful in a police/border guard/militia capacity, though?

I competed in a tiny lil Olympic sport no one outside of the shooting sports has ever heard of (double trap). Wasn’t nearly good enough to attend international competition, but the competitor pool was small and I knew plenty who did.

The IOC and the Olympics are nothing more than a scam. I respect the athletes dedication but after seeing the IOC’s scumfuckery up close I have 0 interest in the Olympics.

I’ve only found that true for days I am prompting without a specific image in mind. The second something specific gets in my head, and even hours of fiddling and tweaking prompts won’t get the result that satisfies me (though I might get a bunch of cool tangential output along the way).

I mean, if it’s some attempt at a passion project I guess it could be? But I’m usually just letting my GPU churn out cool wallpapers or character art in the background while I watch YouTube. There’s no real soul going into it, but I’m not pretending to put in any, either.

I’ve always explained it like this:

Every time you press that button, you’ll get an image. Maybe even a really good image. But it will never be the image you had in mind.

There have been a couple of these, though this one is new to me!

It always makes me sad that they never seem to gain much traction. It seems like disconnected from a larger platform (and potentially the exclusive time window?) they never draw many users.

Just like r/place 😎

Hey, it can be fire. Not exactly the same scenario, but 3015-era Battletech and lostech is dope as hell.

Nothing about that looks like AI to me, beyond the uncanny valley feeling and the eerie lighting. The wallpaper and tile alone would be a big headache to get that consistent, especially with the mirror there. Same goes for the pattern on the clothes and the anatomy (hands, anyone?).

Similar situation on a larger scale, party was gathering Macguffins to stop the impending abberant-based apocalypse. One of them allowed us a roll on the d10000 Wild Magic table once/week. Some party betrayal happened, and a fight broke out over the artifact. The betrayer finally grabbed it and activated it.

DM rolls. DM gets a 10000. The result is “the stars were right!” which apparently is a reference to the Cthulu mythos about the apocalypse beginning. Cue table meltdown as the DM has to improv the sky opening and the horrors descending an IRL month ahead of schedule.

Definitely improved. I remember having to strangle the upvote button and constantly refresh search results to get them to actually load. For the past 5+ days though its been Reddit-smooth; little sluggish today but not by much.
