Lena Cena is pretty funny but these people sound insufferable.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Forsén stated in the 2019 documentary film Losing Lena, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too… Let’s commit to losing me.
From Wikipedia
She was a paid model, so I don’t consider the usage unethical based on that. But I like this comment from a journal:
In today’s age of high-resolution digital image technology, it seems difficult to argue that a 512 × 512 image produced with a 1970s-era analog scanner is the best we have to offer as an image quality test standard".
Lmao, they do have a point though!

I mean, this puts into context that the standard probably should have been some kind of test card like this :

Culture wars = mostly bullshit distractions.

See below. We don’t disagree. It’s a good move, the hype is the problem. It feels wrong. It should have been removed as it was the right thing to do. I’ve seen a lot of stuff about this recently from people who feel the need to chirp about a woman that wanted privacy.
Not just distraction. Distraction with a very nefarious purpose.
Naw, they’re excellent for determining which kind of people are controlling manipulative monsters!
Forsén redid the shoot some 50 years later, producing a (worksafe) image of a grandmotherly woman wearing a hat and smiling. Perhaps using this updated image would be a reasonable compromise?
What do you have against John Cena?
Two words: group shot.
If they put the model in a tutu, they could’ve made the Lena Cena Ballerina.
What the hell is sex-positive?
They tested positive for sex, unlike you, probably.
Real answer: Sex positivity is an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, encouraging sexual pleasure and experimentation.
It’s corporate speak for “It’s no longer hip and cool to objectify women”… or wait… I guess it is supposed to be “It’s not mysogny if the women like it”… but who knows…
If this is real, anybody got an arxiv link?
Whoa, a person with 50% opacity?! Diffusion models are falling off.
I can’t unsee him.
