  • I read the first article, and I recommended you do as well, as it’s the best take I have seen on image generation.

    It sounds like you and your friend both have your minds made up already, but reality is more nuanced, and the truth is somewhere inbetween.

    “AI art” isn’t copyright infringement, or “stealing”, but it’s also not art. It’s a neutral technology.

    I agree it is being used unethically (and overused) by corporations, but it’s fundamentally a problem with how our society uses and reacts to it. Like so many other new technologies, the true issue is with capitalism, not the tech itself.


  • I 100% agree. I don’t mind design refreshes. I think I’m in the minority of loving the current Firefox logo.

    But this just sucks. They really took their unique, clever wordmark logo (but still very modern and minimal!) and replaced it with a bland, trendy 2022 typeface.

    I know this is super petty, but this might convince me to find another password manager and method for syncing tabs. Might try librewolf, too. Rebranding invites users to re-evaluate their view on a brand, and mine isn’t changing for the better.





  • That sounds like the difference between weird and creepy. Why not just say creepy? I suppose ‘weird’ may be a more effective insult, but I don’t feel like it fits as well.

    Republicans are creepy. I’m weird. There’s very little overlap. I actually don’t even think Republicans are that weird, they’re just boring yet emboldened creeps.

    It’s not something I really thought about before reading this post, but I actually do think that ‘weird’ as an insult is kinda harmful, especially with how it overlaps with queerness and autism.
