PICARD: Data, shields up
DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS
DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves.
So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades.
That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.
All you're doing is using a different input method. Instead of clicking and dragging on the screen, you're describing it in words.
Typing 'change X to blue' and clicking on X and changing the hex value are functionally identical.
Do you believe movie directors aren't artists too?

OP blocked me so I couldn't respond.
This is exactly what you're doing when you use reference photos to draw something. You take bits and pieces from different references and the final work is the result of many references, tuned by your style. Just like AI.

Knowing what something looks like to create it yourself and taking bits and pieces of other peoples drawings/ photographs and mashing them together to create a Frankensteins monster of other work is not the same.

It’s not “nitpicking.” It’s “rejecting the frame,” to be more specific. The problem is that rejecting the frame for a hypothetical is just being unable or unwilling to participate in the conversation. It is to stop yourself from thinking before you’ve started.

Performative altruism is a huge problem.
The correct answer to this poll is red. If you answer red, you live. Everyone should thus answer red, and everyone lives. There is zero reason for a single person to press blue, if every person is saved by pressing red, and a blue vote is a toss up if you get killed or not.
But people who want to feel morally superior about themselves are choosing the answer they see as altruistic, even though it is objectively incorrect and will get them and others killed.
Translate this to the real world and things like criminal justice. Morons allow the axe murderer free, because they want to feel merciful. “Look at me, aren’t I just so magnanimous!”

We had a great USB form factor. Century-long standard tier design. It was called USB-A.
We needed a good miniature USB port, because USB-mini and USB-micro were terrible.
USB-C solved that problem.
AND THEN THEY REPLACED USB-A WITH IT LIKE ABSOLUTE RETARDS.
