I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data center

some AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

If the Covenanter was a German tank there would probably be 3 different injection plastic kits available.

Does anyone know what happened to the Covenanter tanks that were dug up in the UK some years back?

"Canadian Tanks in Sussex", from a watercolour by Major Ogilvie, September 1942. This painting shows Ram II tanks of 5th Canadian Armoured Division in Ashdown Forest. Note that the tank is painted in mid-war brown, and has red/white/red RAC markings rather than a the later Allied star.

Two-thirds of the men in that frame learned their trade in sand, and the desert keeps its receipts. The war was won by the ones who knew how to make do with dust and borrowed time.

Anyone saying the Desert War was a sideshow and irrelevant, 2/3rds of the commanders in this picture went through it. Facebook WW2 pictures group. Details in ALT

Field Marshal Montgomery with Generals;
Lt Gen Neil Ritchie - Commander 12 Corps,
Lt Gen Richard O'Connor - Commander 8 Corps,
Maj Gen Douglas Graham - GOC 50th Northumbrian Division,
Gen Miles Dempsey - Commander 2nd Army
Maj Gen Gerald Lloyd-Verney - GOC 7th Armoured Division

28 September 1944

This is probably a status briefing at 12 Corps HQ with O'Connor in attendance on how to secure 30 Corps' flanks and proceed to advance up through the Netherlands.

No...for reenactments to be...realistic, there need to be people being horribly maimed and killed. Everything else is sanitized cosplay. And you don't need Nazis for cosplay. The Clean Wehrmacht is the cockroach of historical myths.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.
