I found one study that found that 100% of people who breathe oxygen die, but I found another study that found that 100% of people who don't breathe oxygen die!

[–] gbuttersnaps@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!

I found a study where they were able to exclude those examples from the data set for various reasons. :P

The trick is to find a partner while you're still alive. Screw those single persons!

Everyone who writes on a blackboard ends up dying

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I only use Post-it notes and I have never died.

AI generated images are getting more impressive.

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Timo draws his own cartoons, what makes you believe it's AI?

If you zoom into the shading and into the professor’s face, you’ll see that the lineart is all wonky.

edit: I checked out his blog, he also has ai generated cartoons there, and his non-ai generated cartoons are more clean and vector-y

Looks pretty human to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Damn, well spotted! That is very impressive, though.

[–] Taringano@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Wow these are pretty funny actually

[–] LoamImprovement@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

Also the shmutz on that student's desk.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is this that cel shading I've heard so much about?

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Coincidence? I don't think so
