remember...
This comment section is gathering personal attacks so we are locking it.
Additionally: we don't have a rule against AI generated images, so we had a discussion about this and wanted to hear what the !buyeuropean@feddit.uk community thinks about it before acting on the reports.
Will announce more about the AI discussion soon in a separate post.
Now get a human to redraw this.
seriously, I'm thinking of blocking the users who keep spamming these AI bullshits.
perfectionism is the enemy of progress
This is a "buy european" community, not an anti-AI one. This image gets the message across. It doesn't have to pass a purity test.
Woah how can you tell here? I have been bamboozled
The text made me suspicious - I never really thought about why it looks weird, but from closer inspection it looks like almost every letter is unique. It just has such an uncanny look. If it was made with a normal font then letters should be near identical. I suppose some artists who hand draw text could be caught up, but I don't think that's common unless they're drawing a uniquely stylized font. For fonts like this that are just plain, it wouldn't make sense to hand draw each character.
The 2 apostrophes in don't and doesn't in the bottom left are a super obvious example
Not OP but when I saw the font it reminded me of the same font used in AI generated drawings with words. Can't be sure though, usually there's some defect in the words but not this one
"for the people"
Continues to cross post ai corpo "art"
critique to build, not to tear down
#1 dude. Be better.
Meeting in the middle has turned a country of union supporters into fascists in less than 50 years.
We've been falling for the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric since Nixon.
Neoliberals are on the same team as the oligarchs.
The American left wrecked itself by dividing itself by intensivepurity-testing and racialism.
Critiquing to build or critiquing to tear down?
critiquing the use of AI. I am one of the people who wants the ai images to just stop
will that help a mass-scale leftist movement form and avoid splits?
I often see people giving others flack for switching to Proton because their CEO etc.
But any step in the right direction should be praised, Proton etc. Is far from perfect, but it's so much better then never moving away from Google / Microsoft etc.
Upvote cause good point, but I have to really mention that OpSec is a black and white thing.
You make one OpSec mistake and you're cooked. Look how they got Ross Ulbricht.
Meshtastic seems to me to be easiest to have good OpSec at the moment and I really hope we can develop it further.
Isn't meshtastic unencrypted radio transmission?
It supports encryption. I think encryption is only forbidden when using ham radio
I believe all mechtastic channels are encrypted, it's just that the default channel's key is preloaded so that everyone can use it as a "public" channel.
This reply by @pelespirit@sh.itjust.works on the original post may help someone here:
Imperfect Allies Aren't Enemies
- Critique to build, not tear down
- Organize, don't just argue
- Movements win, not individuals
- Perfection is the enemy of progress
- Ego kills movements
- Plan for the long game
- Meet people where they are
- Power doesn't care about feelings
- Division is a weapon used by elites, don't play along
daily reminder that luddites weren't against new tech out of fear or misunderstanding, they were against the owner class hoarding all extra productivity as wealth instead of reducing workload and/or increasing pay for the workers alongside tech advancements.
I love how the propaganda bots have persuaded everyone to focus on whether or not this image was made with AI, and everyone completely forgot about the very positive and constructive message in this image.
theyโre not bots, everyone is sick of AI slop everywhere, and itโs especially distasteful to use it for activism messaging, an extremely human endeavor.
if thereโs any shill-bots involved, theyโre creating and promoting these while downvoting human made art because the ai argument is inevitable.
in fact, the amount and ratio of upvotes compared to people actually writing out complaints proves that iโm right.
appropriate username, btwโฆ
Can you explain how this line of argumentation gets socialism any closer to seizing power? I am willing to listen.
All of these rules would have helped the Occupy Wall Street back in the day
The perfection over progress is killing us.
If only the [insert subgroup that vaguely annoys me] would listen to this!
Iโm all for the resistance, but I thought this was going to be about bowel movements.
Donโt play along?
I think it's connected to the line above, i.e. don't play along with the elites.
Ok, I see. The imperfect allies one is the first one.
Did an AI make this image?
