The Debian Project nevertheless expects that all contributions submitted to Debian, regardless of how and with which tools they were produced, satisfy the same standards of quality, correctness, maintainability, and legal compliance. The use of a generative AI tool does not diminish the contributor’s responsibility for the work they submit. Contributors are expected to understand, review, test, and, where appropriate, modify AI-assisted output before incorporating it into Debian. Blindly accepting or uploading AI-generated material without appropriate human review is inconsistent with Debian’s established development practices. We enourage [sic] our contributors to disclose whether a contribution was made with AI assitance[sic], but do not require them to do so.

I pulled a word out my ass because I can’t be bothered with looking it up all the way for this ambiguous term.

Basically, like “sportswashing” they are trying to cover up/compensate for their horrible behaviour by releasing crumbs like this to gain goodwill. I’m not going to change my opinion on facebook being a piece of shit scourge on humanity just because they put some ram efficiencies in linux.

I used user@example.com … so should that be fine or not?

I don’t want to have anything to do with facebook, that’s why. It’s fucking charity washing

Time to reset the dB again

This is the second time I’ve hit things about example.com

When I am going to test an email sender soon, what domain should I friggin use for the test addresses? I want the mails I use for fake test data to not link back to me personally, unless I am specifically looking to receive and look at said mail.

I have either rented or lived in family homes for my entire life.

Ever since my dad gave me a fake option of room colour, I wanted nothing more than to own my own fucking house so I could be in my black room.

I got rejected for a mortgage a few years ago, and the lack of being able to paint the walls in my environment is STILL something that depresess me.

The only downside is waiting months in between episodes…

internet stuff do be like that.

It was similar for The Amazing Digital Circus.

Meta can CRAM this functionality into mark Zuckerbergs ass

Add environmental and societal impact. Nature and people suffer physically from it. People can’t get jobs. People who have created IP get pushed out by government-supported IP theft.

I’m pretty sure this fits under

On the other hand you have assholes using said artwork machine as an excuse to fire everyone, ruin the environment even faster, and overthrow political systems.

Sure, ok. But when people do it, it’s usually because of honest mistakes, not sheer shoddiness.

Oh fuck! It’s a rare comment from you without thorn! Do I get a collector’s number or something?

it’s thorn guy! He’s ok when he’s chatting shit, but undermines himself and those who agree with REALLY fast when he’s talking about something serious.

OK, but when someone has looked at enough art to form an idea of the techniques they want to employ but for some reason, lacks the practical capability or chooses to create it through prose through the machine, how is it any different?

Or, collages are art (I assume). The artists gather existing images, choose/curate the correct ones, assemble them, and end up with their artwork. Why is it any different when someone chooses a catalog of LoRAs to create the images they want to? Do they have to dig through a bunch of shitty magazines?

Different art before the pedal. Unless you never learned, and just always knew how to do the thing?

knowing different concepts, and thinking about how they would be when they joined before having the material possession.

then that happened way before I bought the pedal itself. But if I didn’t buy the pedal I couldn’t express it the same way.

The anti-ai stuff has no philosophical sense behind it; it’s just vibes. But then again, people are just churning out slop. No one fucking wins or makes sense.

The art is the change that happens in a human in the creative process. AI just can’t experience that.

When I make a piece of music, and the way I express the distortion of time I feel through the turning of the time knob on my guitar pedal, when is the art being produced and by what? I’m pretty sure there’s some expression that is happening by me because I feel something, and I don’t think my guitar pedal is doing any feeling; however, I cannot express myself the same way without the guitar pedal.

The human being is the person piloting the AI. No one is expecting the AI (or any other tool used in self expression, like a paintbrush) to feel anything.

When you run the AI software, it doesn’t DO anything until you make it do something.

Are the anti AI people thinking that the works are generated by pressing a big green “GO” button, or that the AI is some kind of deformed , soulless human being?

I’m a fiddler on a roof.

EDIT : You need a shitload more hands to play some of the riffs Behold the arctopus come up with

Are we talking about Jackson Pollock or Yves Klein ?

I will accept a human being taping a banana to the wall of an art gallery to be art long before clanker visual puree.

Which human being is doing the expression there? The farmer that grew the banana? The factory worker that made the tape? The intern being made to tape the banana to the wall while the art she pours her soul into does not help make her ends meet? The prompt writer saying “tape a banana to the wall of the gallery, like , in the middle, and make sure the tape is diagonal”? The money launderer paying for the operation?

You’ve never heard of performance art?

Yeah, I’ve been to metal gigs and theatre shows.

EDIT : I’ve BEEN ON STAGE

If a prompt is art, then “make me a sandwich” is cooking.

But “tape a banana to a wall” is already art. What is your point now?
