I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I'm tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative AI spam...

For the record, I block any explicit AI Art communities that pop up in the feed, but there are more every day...

For me, technology is first of all value-free -

North Korea has artillery canisters loaded with bioweapons. If it is all a question of what we make of things what positive thing would you make out of a canister full of anthrax designed to be fit in an artillery gun?

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The canister could be used for research into a vaccination.

How? How can you possibly use an artillery shell for vaccine research? I want to see you do it

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anthrax is an infection caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. If you had a canister full of that bacterium, you could use it for vaccine research - or as a weapon if you are straight up evil. Why are you asking me random questions?

You are allowed to walk back a claim. It is fine.
