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

They make bulletproof umbrellas now?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

The USSR spent millions the other way tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are so many factual errors in their comment tho.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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
