California?

Edit: I had written Calipornia, but didn’t notice that autocorrect changed it.

I don’t hate AI-created images. I hate the insane amounts of energy required for current AI models. I hate that it’s the same rich assholes who control everything also controlling AI. I hate that they monopolize access to models trained on all our work. And I hate that it will be these rich assholes benefiting from humans being put out of work by AI. Because this will happen on some scale.

If it were free, I’d love AI. Because it allows people who aren’t artists to create stuff. And lowering the barrier of entry on art is always good, in my opinion.

Damn, that is like satire.

A passport costs 165 dollaroos? Damn. And I thought the 70 Euro we have to pay was excessive.
