You get serious nightmare fuel when you try to generate people in an aspect ratio your model wasn't trained on. Most models are trained on 512x512 squares. I've had some horrendous hellish images when I don't follow this rule.

Report: Apple isn’t paying OpenAI for ChatGPT integration into OSes
ChatGPT is getting paid with exposure.

The way I read this, some people in Apple realize AI is just another giant ponzi scheme. So they're making sure they're not holding the bag when the inevitable rug pull comes.Report: Apple isn’t paying OpenAI for ChatGPT integration into OSes

Unlike a lot of long videos, this one is not a slow paced ramble. It fits in a lot. It's not just "AI is a plagiarism machine" here's how. It goes back to the basics of what is personal property, how capitalism used biased philosophy to justify landowners reaping huge benefits at the expense of workers, and shows how that parallels the modern push from AI and Crypto bros want to get rich while promising to support UBI later. And that's just the highlights I remember. The only time the video isn't throwing tons of information at you is during ads for the Nebula streaming service, or during some of the spot-on humor.
Ha! I was going to post that, along with this one:
New Stable Diffusion 3 release excels at AI-generated body horror
Users react to mangled SD3 generations and ask, "Is this release supposed to be a joke?"

Now it might come as no surprise to some of you that generative A.I. is used by many to generate lurid fantasy images.
And while it might not be a surprise to most of you that this is not the most common thing A.I. is used for, it might surprise you that it is not even #2, or #4.
...no, it's number six:
It seems the most common thing A.I. image creation is used for...is politics.

A use for AI that Nick might approve of?
This 'Emotion-Canceling' AI Alters Angry Voices for Call Center Staff
"Customers who phone into support call centers could soon have their voices changed to make them sound less angry or upset to call center workers.
"Japanese telecom company and investment firm Softbank is developing what it calls 'SoftVoice,' an AI-powered 'emotion-canceling' tool for call center workers. SoftVoice allows its users to be able to 'change' the voice they're listening to so that it sounds more calm and less angry with the click of a button. For Softbank, AI's monotone tendencies aren't a bug, but a feature."

No, because 1) it uses AI and I will not approve any use of AI. 2) It's unnatural. Let my real voice be heard.
It changes the customer's voice, not yours, I think. And it appears to be toggle-able.
I propose a new reaction image for A.I. posts:
I have a few friends who have seemingly gained an ai porn addiction, and I don't mean they just like ai porn, I mean they generate hundreds, possibly thousands of images over and over. And the idea of a machine that you push a button on to jerk it to sexualized images of fake women (that are no doubt generated through stolen images of real women) is... It seems real bad. I can't explain it more than "this feels gross and people probably shouldn't do it."
