    AI art won’t do shit except boot people out of jobs that would require a real artist but won’t have too many people complaining if it is obvious goo.

    As for open-source art tools, krita is fantastic and gets used by a lot of professionals.

    I disagree strongly with this sentiment. If there was one garage that was destroying engines and another garage removing all the seatbelts, sure, maybe engine-estroying-garage has their own shit going on, but that doesn’t mean that their critisism of seatbelt-removing-garage is invalid.

    I disagree strongly on the first point. Blackface was not percieved as negative by a lot of people because they had no awareness of it’s significance, but black pete has always been a racist stereotype. It’s not “oh, this is a character who happens to be black”, it’s “this thick-lipped gold-earring wearing pitch-black person with old-timey clothes is the servant of an old bisshop”.

    This shit has always been fucked up. And we didn’t just make an easy decision to change them because some people were uncomfortable, people fought for that. And half of the people are still “bUt iTs jUsT a ChIlDrEnS hOlIdAy iS evErYthInG rAciSt tHEse DaYs?”

    I know of at least one company that uses cuda for ray-tracing for I believe ground research, so there is definitely already some usefull things happening.

    I mean there are a lot of applications for linear algebra, although I admit I don’t fully know in what way “AI” uses linear algebra and what other uses overlap with it.
