    I just stumbled into this article and I'm currently doing some more research, but it sounds like an amazig thing. No heavy or rare metals? Easy to produce? Sounds really cool! I just ask myself how really inefficient they are and thus how much of a CO2 footprint they have compared to the alternatives. What do you think?

    The difference is mostly between a singular person using your art for his own means, the other is a literal corporation making huge profits with your art.
    And human being inspired by somebodies art is somethin fundamentally different than AI art. Ai art doesn't create. It doesn't has the capacity to make anything new. It only remixes old stuff, which is again fundamentally different.
    Try giving AI art programs a very specific promt- they get stuck on some things because they don't have any prior references, and are unable of "imagination".

    Hello! I've been slowly discovering One Page Rules and thought maybe some of you guys would want to talk about it! I'm mostly interested in the Fantasy Skirmish but feel free to talk about all the other types.
    I would like to ask any OPR veterans if you have any tips for someone wanting to table Vampiric Undead? My reflex would be to mimic Mordheim and invest heavily into a killing-machine vampire hero, some quick units to pick off smaller targets and of course some fodder to hold objectives. Any comments on that?

    Well, there is a giant question of copyrights and personal information. These actors and singers whose faces and voices you would be using are real people, who should have agency as to how their visage is being used. And even if we ar talking about "entirely AI generated" stuff, it was still trained on real people and their, very often stolen, work.
    I am a great proponent of progress, but i'm also of the opinion that we should hold us to a much higher ethical standards regarding this thing.

    Has anyone been experimenting with that? I recently found some fairly easy tutorials on tiktok. I always thought you need like special coagulates to make tofu, but apparently with many beans you can just boil them or add some acid to make them firm. And yeah, you can make tofu from essentially any beans, peas or lentils.

    I tried making some green peas tofu, and so far i'm not too happy with the taste. It has a wierd, a bit caustic, aftertaste. I'm not sure if it's the green pea or my recipe...
    I will definitely be trying lentils next!
