Everyone I've talked to that tries to defend generative AI doesn't do it from a point of intellectual honesty. They'd be like "don't be anti-tech if we don't have technology everyone will still be farmers!" instead of acknowledging the wave of media slop, disinformation campaigns, and environment destruction. They'd defend lead in gasoline or asbestos back in the days because it is new tech.
Nowadays, knowing how to grow free food is infinitely more preferable than starving and living in generational debt, so them saying that like it's some kind of own is lowkey insane.

Growing food actually costs a lot. Modern day farmers outside of megafarms barely break even most of the time because the cost of fertilizer inputs, seeds, equipment, etc. If we're talking about subsistence farming, yes of course that's mostly free outside of labor, but you're not going to be making much if any food surplus from it, if you have a bad harvest one year you're very likely to starve and you don't have the amenities of being connected to the grid like being able to shitpost in anime art database comments.
Being a farmer has never been a good job. Even now either you own your own land and are at constant risk of losing it because you don't make any money, or you're grinding for someone else and you're still a wagie in a cagie (and will probably be replaced by an undocumented immigrant who the owner can pay less and deport if they complain). It is not preferable and if you're living a service job or office job you actually have it quite easy in comparison contrary to whatever idealized idyllic image of working on the land you might have.

Let's make this less of a straw man: I will absolutely acknowledge the slob, though that slob can be fun to mess around with. And as for environmental destruction, I will acknowledge the increased demand for those rare earths you hear so much about and water use, and that these things cause pollution. But I don't think the man-caused climate change narrative has been honest science. And the disinformation campaigns - propaganda - was there long before and it was far more difficult to question before technologies such as books and internet. Depending on how you use AI it seems like a good tool against it: Use AI from different presumed biases, check the sources and compare with other people, right? And for less politically invested topics it seems even better. Of course, that's depending on using AI properly. Now, after consulting an AI, I'll also acknowledge that if the legwork isn't done, AI generated falsehoods might make people more skeptical of everything they see and hear, and so it may in effect simply reinforce tribal beliefs because people retreat to that. But this is a case of AI having challenged my previous position, from which we can further discuss, making this point somewhat ironic.
Whether there are negative effects from AI is not a question. The real question to ask is whether AI is more useful than it's harmful. I personally find it to be a very useful learning tool (to supplement other tools). On the whole I think it's too soon to make an evaluation, but if I had to based on things right now, I'd rather have it just for how useful it is and because the negatives don't seem to have affected me much. You can make the same allegations against books, and I'd make the same conclusion based on similar reasoning.
Rulership as a horse also has funny quirk in the racetrack in 2012. After Queen Elizabeth II cup wins, he consistently got late start on G1 races from Takarazuka Kinen, Autumn Tenno Sho, and Arima Kinen, each won by Orfevre, Eishin Flash, Gentildonna, and Gold Ship respectively. Funnily enough Rulership always on the podium despite the chronic late starts.
This is just a reference on Rulership being gate-kept. In game, as Rulership stand in, Air Groove took his place with Gate-kept debuff. Now we don’t need that stand in.
His armour matches that of a Dark Angels Legionary, there's even the hexagrammaton marking. Judging from that volkite in his hand, I'd hazard a guess that he's a member of the Dreadwing or Ironwing.
Please do not delete the ai-assisted tag. topic #22285 Their recent works have got to be at least assisted, too many different details that do not add up. post #11562836, her right clavicle splits under the knot, which also isn't connected to anything from the left side. post #8389079 has a nonsensical armchair design that breaks under her ass. post #8301994, the (symmetrical according to the character ref) jacket flaps change design and shape on either side. Ceiling breaks continuity behind the characters in post #7067938 and post #6610827. The BG noise is weird too. Goes without saying that those issues only emerged with their 2023~ style shift.
Please do not delete the ai-assisted tag. topic #22285 Here's a comparison: https://slow.pics/c/3zu2Zm6O. There's a tiny circular gap around her head, her hair and face changes too much in some places but is unchanged in others (both her eyes are completely redrawn, except for half of her right eyelashes).
Context: A prematch interaction when a Jetpack Cat and Juno are on the same team:
Jetpack Cat: *questioning meows* Juno: Are you speaking to me? Jetpack Cat: *affirmative meows* Juno: Hm… perhaps I should prioritize “cat” on my list of languages to learn.
What racetrack is that? Where she won or lost a race?
I don't think it matters which racecourse this one specifically is, the idea might be that she's retired and basically lost the only thing she's passionate for

Ah ok, I remember hearing she loves racing more than anything else, thanks!
