*now* do folks get why we leftists feel pretty done with Democrats?

(and to be clear, I don't hold those companies/services *solely* responsible, either)

I'm not trying to split hairs, but thinking of it as "inevitable" I feel, removes some degree of accountability and responsibility on those who still make that decision, you know.

I also get why and how there are such economic pressures to do so, but still, each and everyone of them decided it was a good idea. It wasn't inevitable, so much as a amss cascade of disregard or dismissal of the consequences.

lol, fair: I don't mean to use "they" so conspiracy theorist like. What I mean is that it's only inevitable because those who decide to bring such a "tool" to market decide that it's okay to bring such a tool to market.

I get that that's a very vast swathe of companies and services

I dont mean then specifically, I mean they in a more general sense

it's only "inevitable" because they have chosen for it to be.

What Mango/Lychee tells its users about AI vs what the CEO tells everyone on linkedin...

I hate it here.

On October 21st Lychee Slicer announced they are now selling AI Generated 3D models in an attempt to take money away from real artists. The AI generator is trained on on real models from real artists. Help us boycott and spread awareness.

how did I miss this?!?

Really wish the AI bubble would hurry up and burst already...

ThatRobHuman Maker of things, tools to make things, and tools to make tools to make things.

If it's any kind of help, I scratch-built something similar for thatrobhuman.com/magic-circle/ - if I can be any kind of assitance...

to be fair, I completely eyeballed mine, so at least yours is accurate to *some* kind of reference :P

unless you want to boolean on a bunch of spheres and boxes onto it, there's no mechanism to iterate on, refine, or humanize the generated model.... this is *specifically designed* to be a slop generator...

here's the thing: Lychee is a *slicer* - not modelling software, not CAD software... Even if one can stomach using generative AI to create models as part of an artistic workflow (which, I personally can't)...

yes (ie: both)

easy: a whitesmith

that A-Wing needs to be green >.<

Hot UX Take: using "number of clicks" as a primary metric for a thing's usability is a terrible idea.

for what it's worth, I'm not that into 40k but I *really* enjoy your work despite that. (I only wish more people took the diagetic angle with other IPs). I can't afford to join your patrron right now, but you're on the short list, for sure.

feels good to have a dedicated spot for my printer, related tools, and filament... now I gotta make another one for the resin printer...

on second thought: "Tired Pilot" sounds better
