Hahaha look how you get downvoted for stating the obvious. Amazing community here.

Well, it's a classic. Now look at this:

  • communism sounds good but it's impossible in practice

opens umbrella

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

They make bulletproof umbrellas now?

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's so impossible in fact that the CIA spends millions destabilizing countries that are even threatening to become socialist.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

It's one of the reasons that make it impossible in practice.

The USSR spent millions the other way tho.

[–] MetaCubed@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I dont see any rain coming, you can close your umbrella

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net -1 points 5 months ago

Is that supposed to count as"stating the obvious? O.o

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There are so many factual errors in their comment tho.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Good things you stated some? Why not have an actual discussion instead of a pissing contest?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That stuff is not free, for example. The energy and water usage is simply not economical.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I said basically free. It costs a fraction of a cent to generate an image, that would take a human a few hours at least.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What if I tell you that the effort that gets put nto the image is a vital part of art?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well, that's your opinion. I'm more of a finished product kind of guy.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You just said it: you value more the "product" part of art. Not the "art" part.

You know you can run a lot of these models on your home PC right
