You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Okay.

Yes

They might be weary, but this is what they’ll get.

“dog farmers”, holy shit :(

Come on man. Don’t we already have enough wars going on? This can get messy really quickly.

Saw a toddler with a phone in hand today, maybe a year. Couldn’t walk yet, but had no trouble scrolling.

8 years are 2 election cycles. Much can happen in that time.

Definitely needed.

What’s your proposed solution?

10.4 gig here. Holy shit.

I heard shot wounds to the stomach are a painful death.

You’re one obnoxious fuck.

Why is it necessary to enact such a law in a foreign country? Germany isn’t even on the same continent.

Writing is way more than creating outlines or checking the plot for problems. It’s more than even writing a first draft. In fact, it starts with the first round of edits, when characters awake and find their voices etc.

People who think writing with AI is just pushing buttons underestimate the complexity of the process, and using AI for things you’d usually use other writers’ feedback or betas or developmental editors for is just an evolution of tools, the same way we don’t scratch on stone tablets anymore today.

Croatia is a true friend.

Not if they’re Russian invaders.

The way I see it, and I’m pretty sure this will get downvoted, is that pedophiles will always find new material on the net. Just like actual, normal porn, people will put it out.

With AI-generated content, at least there’s no actual child being abused, and it can feed the need for ever new material without causing harm to any real person.

I find the thought of kiddie porn abhorrent, and I think for every offender who actually assaults kids, there are probably a hundred who get off of porn, but this porn has to come from somewhere, and I’d rather it’s from an AI.

What’s the alternative, hunt down and eradicate every last closeted pedo on the planet? Unrealistic at best.

German “halb acht” only refers to time tho.

I’m an indie author, and all my novels ended up on PDFdrive.

Not that I’d be mad about it. If someone pirates my books and likes them, maybe they’ll support me in the future.

Just saying, I’m not wearing suits. I’m working full-time and write when I have off and got the time and energy.

For us Indies, getting eyeballs on our books is next to impossible anyways, so I already gave up on the idea that writing will ever be more than an expensive hobby.
