    I think the left-most of those paws may actually be the end of the leash. It’s hard to tell, but it appears to be more triangular than the other two



  • I can’t read all of the article because it’s behind a paywall or whatever, but I would suggest reading some stuff by Erin Reed (Erin in the Morning), specifically this piece which is relevant to your claim. (Note the article was written by a guest and not Erin herself, if you want to)

    As with anything that loud transphobes like to scream about, it’s wildly exaggerated. Unfortunately, because they’re so loud, most people see the exaggeration as truth.

    I would also look into this study/literature review. It’s been a while since I’ve read it, and it’s late here, so I can’t attest to how good of a study it is. However, the authors do conclude that there’s no real evidence of trans women having any considerable advantage over cis women.










  • Disclaimer: I’ve not workshopped this much, so idk if these are the right words to convey how I feel

    I feel like using AI to generate images is akin to taking someone’s art and applying a light gaussian blur to it or putting an uncredited artist’s work in a big game.

    I know it’s done in a much more intricate way, and it’s genuinely impressive how AI companies got it to work so well, but if I try to sell AI generated images, especially if they’re meant to be made similar to an artist’s work, then that’s all I’m doing.

    I don’t necessarily see it as stealing from artists (though it is threatening the livelihood of a lot of artists), but more as exploiting artists but with a new buzzword.

    If I arrange 4 pieces of art in a jpeg and then apply a whacky filter, am I actually creating anything, or am I just exploiting artists and doing something similar to copying and pasting different bits of an essay and then changing every instance of a word to a different synonym?

    I believe AI does something similar to that, albeit in a more sophisticated way that looks like creativity.

    I don’t think it’s spell check. For whatever reason, VSCode decided that you’re writing JS code and is trying to point out syntax errors. There should be some way to change the file type (open the command palette and look for “file type”, I suppose)
