What, no, look at his ear, it’s totally scarred, it’s mangled, barely even anything left of it. /s

The attempt on his life did leave him scarred and deformed.

Yay :D

Aw :(

He’s had an epiphany. He’s going to come out as bi any day now and defect to the Greens and by executive order make the stripes in the US flag rainbow coloured and he’s going to rule as a just, benevolent dictator.

What is “distractions” and what is “necessary”?

Okay. Now what? Any advice, any ideas from you? Because I think we’re all aware this is going downhill and doomerism isn’t going to help.

We clearly stole that.

Same but Voyager.

Don’t mind them, they’re known for unhinged posts and comments.

I haven’t seen that type of response, at least not at any significant frequency, but let me speculate wildly while accepting your premise for the moment.

People in general are less mentally resilient than they were 6-10 years ago, what with The Everything And All That In The Everywhere At All Times. That might manifest in less patience and less willingness to indulge beginners. So I don’t think it’s a conscious thing meant to gatekeep anything, people just don’t have the capacities to explain things again and again in detail (especially when they think the answer is easily found using the search engine of your choice) and are more easily exasperated if things don’t go smoothly.

Again, this is all assuming your premise.

I cannot express how much I hate the triangles. I shouldn’t because they’re about the only genuine thing about it but they’re also a symptom of the larger issue and I just can’t even with all this.

Yes it is AI. Parallel lines are not an indication for non-AI. Just look at the teeth that were added in by hand because they couldn’t get the AI to do it. Fingers are still wonky. There were probably meant to be 5 blue data streams, one from each of the 5 people down to the 5 companies instead of two and two partial streams (?) but again, they couldn’t get the AI to do that. But this is close enough to what they actually wanted so they said it’s fine, thereby letting the AI compromise their message. Brilliant.

You say it’s “very accurate” - no it’s not. You think it’s accurate because, as a member of modern global culture, you recognise the concepts it threw together so you’re able to extrapolate what it is TRYING to say. The concept is valid but it’s so poorly executed that at any closer look it falls apart. Which is always the case with AI: it’s close enough to what it wants to be, close enough to express existing concepts so that everybody gets the gist of it if they squint (or scroll just slightly too fast). Don’t let them get away with it, it’s the death of critical thinking and creativity.

What is happening here? Google and Apple go hungry? Amazon is dead? What’s with the glowy person in the background? This is confuddling because as usual whoever told an AI to generate this either didn’t check the result or said ‘eh good enough’ and I don’t know which is worse.

This is not how you effectively convey your message.

Edit: wait, I take it all back, the most important part is that the bunker exit is clearly marked, this is art and good.

Edit2: also, that guy on the left seems to have figured out how to protect his stream of blue mouth light. Would he be available for a tutorial?

Good talk

And who forced you at gun point to further propagate the image?

Could’ve made a nice, cozy, proletarian bad photoshop but nooo…

“What, me, anteeefa? I’m not part of ANY organisation, terrorist or otherwise, and I have the lack of membership paraphernalia to prove it.”

Ah yes, I was wondering if the end was going to be a long, painful, drawn-out one or if we’d go with a satisfying bang.
