  • Instructors and art books literally give permission to use them as a “stepping stone” by definition. The entire point of them is to offer input to other artists.

    Also the main difference is that a human has a human mind and is making creative decisions unique to that human. The problem is that a narrow AI algorithm cannot be anything BUT derivative. They don’t think, they don’t have a mind that filters the data through a unique perspective, they just process the data like a series of conveyer belts. If you never give a human any input from other artists they can still make art, that’s why we have cave paintings. But a narrow AI algorithm needs specific input via specific pieces of art or else it can’t create anything. With that in mind permission and consent is much more important to the artists whose specific pieces are being fed into the algorithm. It’s generally considered good form to credit inspiration in derivative work, but we understand that human nature means that humans may not always remember or realize what or who inspired them. AI doesn’t have that excuse. We are perfectly capable of only feeding images that we are given permission to use into AI, and we are perfectly capable of having the AI log and report what works it used data from.






  • No offense but if the people at your son’s school are so disgusting that they’d retaliate for him reporting an underage girl’s abuse then I would consider taking him out of that school anyway. I cannot imagine anyone at the school I went to when I was his age being that depraved, and I hated most of my schoolmates so I don’t say that easily. That must be a school full of extra shitty kids that you don’t want your son to be around.

    Tell your son that not reporting this to police could put that girl’s life in danger. He might be bullied at school, but she might end up dead. If he is so opposed to asking for help to the point of letting something like this continue then he could possibly use a few visits to a counselor to help him with that because it’s an extremely unhealthy mindset to have. Imagine if it was HIM in her position, what would you want one of his older coworkers to do in that situation? Think very hard about that scenario and how it would make you feel.














  • The Jak and Daxter series. Gameplay still holds up, story and world building still holds up, and it’s been made easily available to later generations of consoles. Heck even the in-game animations hold up shockingly well, Jak’s movement feels so fluid and organic compared to a lot of other older games that tend to feel a bit janky compared to modern games.

    Older games in the Ratchet and Clank series also hold up pretty well too, though they’re a bit harder to access unless they’ve been made available on the ps4/ps5 since I last played them, otherwise I have to dig out my ps3 to play the first 3 games.

    I replay both game series pretty regularly and they’re always equally as fun to play no matter how many years have passed.
