I guess I could post an AI dragon. I used some drawings of mine and some scribble line gesture stuff I made in in MS Paint as style references. #midjourney #DragonTuesday

Building another dragon for #DragonTuesday won't be done by this Tuesday but definitely will be finished for next week.

Ah yes leaving with no savings or spending everything to move over with no fall back plan to get out. Classic! You hate to see a person who leaves the country to "escape the gays" get stuck in a burning shithole country where the only way forward is to go on a suicide mission.

So the fuck what. You wanted a flag you made one, then all the other genders and sexes made one, and now "they" can't have one or you are making fun of their flag? Man it's really hypocritical of you guys. The circle is complete. you wanted inclusivity and now you are exclusive.

Comment section is stupid, the country is extremely divided he doesn't want to open up that can of worms and I don't fucking blame him! We got retards, yes I said it, bringing race into it, no he's a celebrity, an echelon of society that thrives on the public liking him. Holy shit shut the fuck up.

A politician that didn't care about their future in politics. "I'm gonna do the most good I can destroying the institutions and laws and policies that are cancerous to the American way of life." If that means I won't have a career in politics whatever. I wish we could reverse age Bernie Sanders

And democrats are still too chickenshit to abolish gerrymandering, same with buttoning up tax loopholes and law designed with the specific purpose to keep the rich, rich. I still vote blue but blue shit is still shit. I wish we had a "trump" blue guy that just tore down the rotten parts of America

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what AI can do. I think you're influenced by lazy Slop AI and that's just what you think AI is only capable of. Copy pasting.

Trump will be mocked, demeaned, slandered, made fun of and his legacy desecrated when he dies. Monuments will be build trashing this human pile of garbage. I want to build an installation piece of just a big pile of trash...and I'll title it The Legacy of Trump.

18 U.S.C. § 3056(a)(3) authorizes Secret Service protection for former presidents and their spouses for their lifetimes. The statute does not make that protection conditional on whether the president was impeached or convicted. We can not lie and still get the message across.

I see Asmongold made people upset again. I would like to add however that if Asmongold didn't exist a lot of the people complaining about him wouldn't have a career.

Season 2 was also good the nosedive started in season 3. The show had good chemistry but it seems like the writers migrated over from the failed Starfleet Academy. The actors are good, season 1 & 2 proved that, but they can still be terrible if the script is garbage.

I finally got around to watching Strange New Worlds season 4. Why is Kurtzman still around ruining Star Trek. Hasn't this goon done enough damage to the universe? This season feels like Starfleet Academy's terrible writers just moved over to this franchise and took a hot diarrhea on it.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I can't wait for the Kurtzman era to be over. He has done critical damage to the show's reputation.

even the shitty muppet episode? I don't how I'm supposed to feel about season 4. The rest of em were pretty good but this one minus 2 of the episodes was a total miss for me.

resulting in the near collapse of the river ecosystem of the surrounding area when the people whom the mosquito nets were sent decided to use them to fish the wildlife nearly to extinction in less than 2 years, resulting in further starvation of the local population and thus more death from disease.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
There is a strong precedence that foreign aide programs create aid dependency and damages the local economy in the long run. Plenty of unforeseen consequences have been a result of meddling in the affairs of other country's struggles. Like mosquito nets sent to reduce malaria infections -->

Live Aide: relieved pressure on the Ethiopian and Sadanese govts which allowed them to divert enough resources to engage in resettlement programs that ultimately killed 100,000 people. Groups like Dr's w/o Borders warned about this happening and were ultimately expelled from both countries.

throwing money at a problem like hunger is a terrible approach to solving hunger. Most foreign aid programs damage the countries they are "helping." Instead infrastructure aide, grain stores, water wells and the equipment to drill more, empower people to help themselves than throwing help @ people.

Stable and Unstable diffusion are local. A lora is local, it's made by inputting images on your own system creating an isolated training set, that generates images using the available VRAM on that system. No outside influence.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Do you not understand that there are people that make their own AI, in their house/apartment with a powerful computer with high VRAM? I don't have the best of computers but I make my own training sets of my paintings and drawings to see how I can make digital blends without extraneous influence.

There are skills like reading, riding a bicycle as you said, things that are foundational knowledge based like math and then there are perishable skills like playing an instrument, drawing, know-how in specific systems, games even. I never said it was perishable. Don't put words in my mouth.

Humans abuse fucking everything. Every system, every law, every sport, video game, belief, there is no society that doesn't have people acting in bad faith anywhere on the planet. Abuse exists therefore no one should have it. We should have nothing if we followed that analogy.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. DavidH if you've listened to him in their weekly office hours for midjourney. He isn't trying to ruin the world with AI. He's a naive dreamer of the potentiality with human creativity and AI generation. Even after all this time his head's in the clouds

If I had the convenience of AI that I have now, I'm not sure I'd be curious, this magic box answers all my questions and it affirms me and tells me I'm right all the time, even when I'm wrong. I wouldn't stand a chance in this world.

Matthew Abel @matthewabeldemesne.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
I think curiosity has been hammered into me by life in general. the arc from having to go to a library, to having it on the early internet, to it being in my pocket, to an explosion of misinformation via social media, to the ability to share knowledge I don't possess to others with AI.

People should be able to explore their own imaginations. My vocabulary pool has grown substantially due to me wanting to learn every technical term, or different languages or genres and history and any knowledge I can get my hands on to expand what I can do with AI. I was born before the internet->
