Stop policing the internet bro

There’s so much stuff coming out about China gearing towards Taiwan and its pretty scary. Either we let dictatorship shithole take a democratic militarized country by force or China will be put to Russian level shame and basically never recover. That’s some real ww3 stuff. I hope Europe gets their shit together until that time comes.

I mean it’s really bad. Some places have 200% inflation. My point is that you don’t see collapse and btw communication is extremely important in economic reaction. If you stump the communication and transparency channels it just means the swings are less common but bigger. Thats why successful democratic countries value transparency and market reaction - to prevent huge swings and overcorrections that break shit.

I see people with zero economic background commenting and down voting in this thread just because they don’t see “Russia collapses” in big letters on TV 🫣

Nah man hiding issues is much easier when there’s no real accountability.

It’s true that it’s hard to predict the future but real Russian experiences are not really hard to find. Shit is pretty bad already and that’s with hacking and hiding the system. If you think a country can prosper without global trade then I have a bridge to sell you.

It’s not a democratic country. Shit takes time to change. Have you seen the questions that slipped through the latest putin talk? The peasants are angry eggs are expensive nor because their country is murdering and raping kids.

This is not going to last. Russian economy is about to flip the fuck out though China got their cut already.

Will be interesting how China’s opinions change once dirty money dries up but my guess is that they’ll forever pretend to be fence sitters as long as Han China is doing well.

One interesting note on how down China was with new Russian market is that they started to print Russian text on national brand products like Huawei last year and I just a new pair of huawei ear phones that no longer have it. It’s probably just a coincidence but it’s kinda funny nevertheless.

This thread is incredibly disconnected to the point where it seems to be invaded by hobby artists that think too highly of themselves.

Clearly all you can do is throw strawmans out when you finally clear up that your argument makes no reasonable sense.

And yet you wield both!

It is. You should try it sometimes.

“Deserve” - clearly you don’t understand the issue at hand if you’re using definitions like this. There’s no “deserve” in art.

Nah I understand what’s going on. AI is not replacing real artists. It’s replacing sweatshops. And even when it will eventually replace most of art grunt work we’ll find something more interesting to do like curate the art, mix, match, add extra meta layers and so on.

This closed mind protectionism is just silly. Not only it’s not sustainable because you will never win it’s also incredibly desperate. No real artist would cry and whine here when given this super power.

Also pay is not everything in life. Maybe think about that for a second when you discuss art

Clearly you need to work on your reading comprehension my dude. Maybe use AI to help you out?

It’s literally in the name. Machine learning. Ignorance is not an excuse.

What a terrible analogy for learning 🙄

I’m literally a professional artist lol

Nah. In literally being proven right real time. You can set a reminder or something :)

How are you going to stop that lol it’s ridiculous. Would you stop a corporate suit from viewing your painting because they might learn how to make a similar one? It’s makes absolutely zero sense and I can’t believe delulus online are failing to comprehend such simple concept of “computers being able to learn”.

Except the “art” ai is replacing is labor. This snobby ridiculous bullshit that some corporate drawings are somehow more important than other things is super cringe.

I’m not sure what’s your point here? Majority of art is drivel. Most art is produced for marketing. Literally. If that can be automated away what are we losing here? McDonald’s logos? Not everything needs to be a career.
