I’ll need to crack it open and look at it, but from what I’ve seen I may be able to slot some rubber gaskets into the hinge to hold tension. It will feel more like modern laptop screens that way.

I’m new to the hacked 3ds world and I absolutely love it! The last gameboy I owned was the advanced sp and the 3ds is like a time capsule of the best period of gaming history. I desperately want to start building shell mods fix their wobbly screen though.

I’ve been preaching this about “moist” for years. I genuinely haven’t found anyone with an aversion to it who disliked the word before dislike of it became a part of the cultural fabric.

Oh cool, I didn’t know they used it in final fantasy! That’s a fun fact.

I’m actually quite a fan of this song. Her cover of stands by me is also pretty amazing.

Teenagers across the land are glazed and over sexed! If you fail to draw the line your babies will be next!

Easily the best song in the movie

As a bug fan of borderlands, I honestly wish they made a mobile spin off for the minigame that they’re using for this. I love playing the game they made for it, I love that it’s doing actual stuff, I just have a limited amount of time to sit down and play games at my pc and when I boot borderlands I wanna play borderlands.

Don’t apologize, this level of discussion is exactly what I came to the table hoping for.

I will say, my stance is less about the now and more about the here to come. I agree wholly with the issues of plagiarism, especially when he comes to personal styles. I also recognize the vivid swath of other crimes that this tech can be used for. Moreover, corporations are pushing it far too fast and hard and the end result of that can only by bad.

However, I hold a small hope that these are just the growing pains, the bruised thumbs enviable when learning to swing a hammer. We forget that photoshop was used to cyber bully teens with fake nudes. We look past the fields of logos made by uncles that didn’t want to pay for a graphic designer, the company websites made by the same mindless managers that now use AI to solve all their problems. Eventually, the next product will come and only those who found genuine use will remain.

AI is different in so many ways, but it’s also the same. Instead of fighting for it’s regulation, we need to regulate ourselves and our uses of it. We can’t expect anyone with the power to do something to have our best interest at heart.

I remember when photoshop became widely available and the art community collectively declared it the death of art. To put the techniques of master artists in the hand of anyone who can use a mouse would put the painter out of business. I watched as the news fumed and fired over delinquents photoshopping celebrity nudes, declaring that we’ll never be able to trust a photo again. I saw the cynical ire of views as the same news shopped magazine images for the vanity of their guests and the support of their political views. Now, the dust long settled, photoshop is taught in schools and used by designer globally. Photo manipulation is so prevalent that you probably don’t realize your phone camera is preprogrammed to cover your zits and remove your loose hairs. It’s a feature you have to actively turn off. The masters of their craft are still masters, the need for a painted canvas never went away. We laugh at obvious shop jobs in the news, and even our out of touch representatives know when am image is fake.

The world, as it seems, has enough room for a new tool. As it did again with digital photography, the death of the real photographers. As it did with 3D printing, the death of the real sculptors and carvers. As it did with synth music, the death of the real musician. When the dust settles on AI, the artist will be there to load their portfolio into the trainer and prompt out a dozen raw ideas before picking the composition they feel is right and shaping it anew. The craft will not die. The world will hate the next advancement, and the cycle will repeat.

I get that part, the crypto stuff is just a fancy way of getting the paper receipt when I buy a movie at the store. Where I get lost is the product. From what I understand of the nft system, the code isn’t in any way related to the image, it’s just a receipt of purchase. Does buying this monkey image give the buyer copyright? Does it allow the buyer to distribute the image? Does it work like album art, where the band buys the image from an artist to use as album art making all future usages of that image the property of band? Or are these just a cool sticker that comes with the purchase of a unique string of code that people are using to speculate?

I did not no, I’m an ardent believer that proprietary file format is a bad form for media as it relies on a single entity to maintain its support.

I’m out of the loop here, how does ownership actually impact the world in these cases? If I buy an nft image do I own the copyright to it? Do I get legal control over its use? What’s the deal here? I see a lot of talk about ownership of a digital asset but I have thousands of digital images stored and I don’t get why a blockchain is needed in the situation?
