Café de Nuit

I think all of us here are ordinary people. Not "tech bros" or "corporate shills". The stakes here are too low, the audience entirely too fringe, for inauthentic efforts at narrative control.

Hear ye the tale
Of we who summoned the machine
We who cast a cruel eye upon our fellows
And sought to replace them
We cast out the typesetters
And now their former profession is called Word
I did not care because the machines had come for others
And had yet to come for me
Spinning mules, knitting ...

Let me understand.
Your claim is that the common representation in media so different from reality that it's no longer relevant and thus no longer offensive.
My claim is that the common representation in media being so different from reality - yet close enough to sound the same to folks with ...

The thread is about generative art, as Rock stated, not math. But there is no difference in principle. The same LLMs produce math in the same way that they produce AI images. An AI can also draw campaign cartographer style maps, using mathematical principles.

So few are willing to do so.


Generative AI as its proponents and creators define it replaces "art" by dispensing with the very process of creating art. Thus, to incorporate AI into the process of creating art defeats its very purpose. The wannabes and the AI Bro bros who vociferously tout AI ...

Like, no offence, but you're a perfect example of the problem.

MPD is an outdated term - the modern, more accurate diagnosis is Dissociative Identity Disorder - but it's a real condition. I've talked to people who suffer from it.
But the problem is, people only know the fakes. They only know ...

Unless I'm mistaken, I didn't receive this? Please send it again!

I just saw this now. Where is the submission to be sent? I sent it to the main address.

Another thing: not everything graphical has a prompt at the root. That was the case perhaps even 12 months ago, but now AI can use python to 'hand write ' maps, can use Photoshop equivalents to format graphics, structure it, place and edit via computer use. The request for a prompt is carrying more ...

Any reason to require the prompt for AI image generation? Sound great in theory; it's openness and people can try their own image generations with the same prompt. In practice if you are going through many edits (and this is normal now), the amount of prompt text could fill entire page for a single ...

I remember Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) from when I was a kid in the 1980s and 1990s. It was intertwined with the Satanic Panic. Quelle surprise , most of these cases turned out to be fraudulent. If you create a Malken like Darklord, there is zero chance that it resembles a real life mental ...

My entry for this year is submitted. Tremble at the gothic horror that awaits.

Can someone send me the template for this year's QtR? I don't want to overwork the editor, because my submission has a LOT of images.

Great. I will have submission this year. I have already finished 16 entries so far. I think people will be surprised.

Relevant to the plot, I'm sure.
