    I sort of agree, but I think it depends on effort.

    Type one word in and try and sell the easiest generated image? Low value.

    But typing the right combo to create assets to create something larger than the model is capable of? That’s more valuable.

    Criticizing AI or artists that leverage AI is like criticizing an artist for using a printer instead of drawing by hand

    Or saying someone’s digital work is inferior because they used a tool to help make their image…

    On that note, when working on a large project, is an AI artist as pretentious as the artist in the comic because they got some help generating the project from an AI instead of another human? Or is someone’s work ethic less credible for Google searching instead of asking a person? Are works of art valuable because they’re entirely original and uninfluenced by anything else but the artist themself? Because with that metric no artists are valuable since nothing is entirely original anyways








  • I’ll look into LN more, I’m familiar with the centralization concerns (but still think they’re able to be mitigate until more upgrades), but am not familiar with the costs you’re bringing up. Fee estimators notoriously round up, I’ve never spent more than a dollar but that’s anecdotal

    BCH is still an attempt at centralization from bitmain, a company which literally installed kill switches in their miners without telling anyone, and ran botting attacks in /r/Bitcoin and /r/BTC during that fiasco - the hard fork they created is absolutely more centralized than Bitcoin

    There will be a time to do something as risky as hard fork for a block size upgrade, but to do it for the sake of just one upgrade that serious doesn’t make sense to me. If a hard fork must happen there might as well include other bips that necessitate a hard fork like drivechain.

    Soft fork upgrades which enable more efficient algorithms like schnorr / SegWit in the meantime have scaled tps without having to waste block space. Bch is cheap because there’s no demand or usage.

    Unfortunately, it’s for the best. If you’re serious about research you have to present yourself. Especially if you’re the first person to discover it, you’re the most - possibly only - qualified person to talk about that thing.

    Part of scientific communication is giving elevator talks. You have to be able to argue for funding.

    Not to mention, if you never develop those skills, you’re just opening yourself up to getting a worse financial incentive for the same amount of work
