You know what, fair, that's my bad.

I paid a premium for a Prusa.

Their documentation and assembly instructions were phenomenal, the build quality has been solid, and from day one I've been having good prints and haven't yet had a print fail.

Maybe the other printers do that too these days, but I wanted a tool and not a project, at least in this case.

Beyond that I also just wanted to support a company with values I support, and have put a lot out into the world that other companies are piggy-backing off of. So yes, maybe another company can also put motors on a frame, but I felt like I was supporting something important when picking Prusa.

I do wonder if they plan to draw a line somewhere in "how AI" the image needs to be. Like, if it's a raw photo, that's fine. If it's enhanced by filters or something, probably not AI fair to say.

But what about the, like, magic eraser and infilling? If I use a tool to erase a bunch of people from a bridge and draw new parts of bridge that weren't in the original photo... is that AI?

If I use AI to pull a mask and cut someone out from the background, and then put them overtop of a stock background, that uses AI to do work I could have done by hand. Probably fine. But what if I use AI to paint a new background that didn't exist before this photo. Is that AI?

If I take a picture of me in a real place, doing a real thing, and then use AI infill to paint a different face onto my face so it's not me anymore, but the rest of the photo including my body is real, is it AI because that person doesn't exist?

I like what you were going for, but I'm pretty sure "that" is "ðat", and "þat" would be like "thot", but with an "a". I think.

The difference between them is ð is voiced, as in your throat is making sound and vibrating, whereas þ is voiceless, meaning it's just air and your throat is still, but the rest of your mouth is in the same shape.

This is similar to how, for my accent at least, "v" and "f" are the same mouth shape, and one is voiced and the other isn't.

I'm not on the list, and I've spent all evening and all morning looking at myself in the mirror like "Am... am I a Nazi? I don't feel like one... but maybe they don't feel like one either..."

Let me say, as a person who worked at a company that used to silently disappear people, it sucked finding out in Thursday that so-and-so has been gone for a week and a half and wasn't coming back.

So I, at least, appreciate the idea that they get to communicate at all.

News still sucks, but I wanted to throw that in

No, they'll leave during church service!

Do all Christians call it mass, or is that just a Catholic thing...? 🤔

Yeah... that's why it's allowed to expire now. We don't allow people to use useful or relevant things! 😛

Gen Alpha's parents are... let me check my notes... Millenials. Aw Fuck.

Can confirm. Played that game, died.
