It's more like people on Lemmy know what to look for and generally have a hatred of AI "art," so they're looking to spot it.

You clearly don't understand how these things work. AI gen is entirely dependent on human artists to create stuff for it to generate from. It can only ever try to be as good as the data sets that it uses to create its algorithm. It's not creating art. It's outputting a statistical array based on your keywords. This is also why ChatGPT can get math questions wrong. Because it's not doing calculations, which computers are really good at. It's generating a statistical array and averaging out from what its data set says should come next. And it's why training AI on AI art creates a cascading failure that corrupts the LLM. Because errors from the input become ingrained into the data set, and future errors compound on those previous errors.

Just like with video game graphics attempting to be realistic, there's effectively an upper limit on what these things can generate. As you approach a 1:1 approximation of the source material, hardware requirements to improve will increase exponentially and improvements will decrease exponentially. The jump between PS1 and PS2 graphics was gigantic, while the jump between PS4 and PS5 was nowhere near as big, but the differences in hardware between the PS1 and PS2 look tiny today. We used to marvel at the concept that anybody would ever need more than 256MB of RAM. Today I have 16GB and I just saw a game that had 32GB in its recommended hardware.

To be "better" than people at creating art, it would have to be based on an entirely different technology that doesn't exist yet. Besides, art isn't a product that can be defined in terms of quality. You can't be better at anime than everybody else. There's always going to be someone who likes shit-tier anime, and there's always going to be parents who like their 4 year old's drawing better than anything done by Picasso. That's why it's on the fridge.

This is a real thing, though. Most mixed use in the US falls into one of two categories: either it was built before zoning codes (like most of the small apartments over businesses) or it's large apartment/condo buildings. Mixed use has become a more popular concept in the past decade or so, but most residential zoning prevents the building of commercial buildings within the area and largely limits the size of dwellings to single family homes.

It's also why 2 and 3 unit housing is a rarity as well. You mostly see either single family housing or large apartment buildings/condo complexes because it's hard to get approved to build anything else - either through zoning laws themselves or NIMBYs killing any project.

You can thank Euclidian Zoning for that.

The US army has a hit ratio of about 50%. Cops have about a 30% average. The average stormtrooper probably has better accuracy than the average cop.

Because that would be "protesting the wrong way." The left is obsessed with decorum, and most people seem to think that if we get enough people holding signs on street corners, then they'll have to stop the slide into fascism.

It's less that they can compromise and more that the only policy that they care about is policy that hurts minorities. They'd happily jump on a grenade or march into an oven so long as they can take a liberal and an immigrant with them.

On the other hand, look at how much effort it's taken for the fascists to get power again. The groundwork for the current administration was started under Reagan and solidified under Bush Jr. They had to take every branch of the government by force to get to where they are because there just aren't enough of their supporters to actually get them into office without bending the rules until they break.

Also worth noting that the US is not and never has been a "Christian nation." Not only did the Founding Fathers specifically separate church and state for that reason, but they also didn't declare a national religion and enshrined religious freedom as well for that same reason. Plus, half of them were agnostic or atheists. Anybody who says we're a "Christian nation" is just using religion as an excuse for bigotry.

If God truly exists, he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows.

Not only a fake tradition, but one started by the wealthy to muddle what was a quite literal saying.

Jesus straight up said that it's impossible for the wealthy to enter heaven.

It's always a good time to remind people that MLK's family proved in civil court that the government killed MLK (either through intent or negligence) to enough of a degree that the judge was convinced and awarded them restitution on the charges. And the only reason that the case didn't go to a criminal court was because every judge who read the case refused it.

Running the onion under warm water helps as well. It keeps the chemical that irritates our eyes from getting into the air and supposedly makes them easier to peel as well, though I've had mixed success with that part.

Unfortunately, he already did Trump Air. Unsurprisingly, though, he bankrupted it like all his other companies.

Unfortunately, Trump Air only seems to ever have flights to that one island.
