  • Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that…

    I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.

    I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.

    1 year earlier I would’ve gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.

    It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.

    Those gates have gotten really nasty.

    It’s as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.

    Completely backwards attitude and practice.



  • My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.

    Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.

    He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.

    I don’t think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.

    Pretty sure it’d be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.
