Noob, not even using bayesian probability to determine if certs dice rolls should be done /s

Ok but like, Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 edition + DLC is going to be 1mb smaller than the Switch 1 version without the DLC

No, le falta un poco más

They’re not hiding the flags.

It’s allowed. They’re not hiding it from broadcast either, unlike least year.

What they did do was change the rules that performers can only have country flags, nothing else, but they don’t have restrictions for the audience this time - that’s why you can see plenty of actually Palestine flags this year in the audience.

What I’m curious is it they’ll censor audience booing this year.

I literally saw a bunch of Palestinian flags during the semifinals Tuesday.

Geez lot of people upvoting without the most basic fact check:

There’s the semifinals for y’all. You can see the flags yourself.

I think it has more to do with the hypocrisy of letting Israel perform. It just pisses off most of their viewership, which are mostly anti genocide.

The lyrics of a midway song that the hosts sang (“no matter how kind or brutal” or some shit like that) doubles down on the hypocrisy of kicking out Russia but allowing Israel.

They allowed Palestinian flags this year, and pride flags have always been allowed

Yep, now you know why Loss is mocked.

It’s about as authentic as Trump working in a McDonald’s.

Why don’t we hear what the author of Loss thinks about the miscarriage then, quoted in a comic?

This is better evidence, but still would be difficult to keep such consistency with the character. That would be quite the advancement itself.

Inconsistent arm length is only proof that someone might have issues with reference sizing, not AI. Webcomic Pixie and Brutus had it so bad the artist made it into a hilarious joke and then stated they’d finally make a size reference chart to keep it consistent in the future. Freaking animated series Steven Universe, a professional production, constantly had issues with not just limb lengths but size consistency as well. Size consistency is the worst reasoning of them all if anything.

The flowers in the background could just be that the artist has issues with distance perspective / drawing. A lot of artists who don’t do backgrounds have that issue.

And like I already mentioned, the best evidence so far would be the blur lines surrounding the character, which would be evidence of AI in that they added the character into these backgrounds, but not only could that also be just a standard blur tool (because the artist isn’t good at backgrounds), but it would be weird that someone using Ai to make this would go through all the work of training a custom LORA or model on this character specifically, but wouldn’t reduce the size of blurring in the parameters when inpainting. It’s possible, sure, but usually someone who already went to the lengths of learning how to train a model or such to achieve such consistent results would also quickly look up how to set the inpainting parameters to not show such a massive blur line.

But the other thing to note that this might not be AI is the aspect ratio. Presumably this would have been done as separate panels on AI, and then you’d crop if needed and make a fake comic panels. If so, why would you crop the edges of the comic / leave them incomplete? Usually that’s specifically where an artist of this type of comic panel would sign their work too, if they chose too. Cropping out signatures is something commonly done by people reposting work done by real artists, and has been an issue for years as well.

Now, all this is too say that it’s not definite that this is made by a human. The point is that there’s no strong evidence that it’s AI. The clothes are consistent, the shoes and fingers are as well. That there’s 5 fingers is actually suspicious, but it’s definitely something an amateur artist would choose to do.

To me, the most likely case is this is a mix of AI and real drawn work / lots of manual editing work (for example, the mouth in panel 2 and 3 look the same, indicating it may have been copy and pasted by hand rather than generated). But my second guess it’s purely drawn work with a lot of manual editing. What I can say is this is very unlikely to be 100% AI.

Weird how many here calls this Ai with no real proof.

The only current evidence I see that this might be Ai generated is blur lines around the character in the second and third panel, but the consistency of such a stylized drawing remaining the same is so strong it’s either really well done Ai that included photoshopping or human art with photoshopping.

A lot of you saying it’s AI clearly don’t work with it or have any understanding of it, because getting this level of consistency across 3 panels is very difficult. We’re talking about doing extra training involved around this specific character just to make sure you can get this type of consistency with 3 separate poses (my experience with it so far is in photo editing along with other digital editing tools).

I feel like recently I’ve noticed a lot of people witch hunting real artists who make a small mistake or have a unique art style (like that of the webcomic There Are No Demons), and the default of calling anything generated by AI, even something that was actually well done, “slop” shows less of an actual analysis of the piece but blind band wagoning

Not to mention the irony of riding in the most phallic of all the rockets ever made

The assumption is a recession.

The reality is Trump may straight up lead y’all to a depression. Or just straight up balkanization fracture.

Don’t sell is only good advice if the dollar holds value. Which at this rate, it won’t, especially if Germany doesn’t get its gold back.

If it doesn’t, the market simply won’t recover because your currency will be worth as much as the original Salvadorian Peso essentially. At which point selling the stocks and buying Euros cash or Euro stocks would be the better option.

It’s good to remember many empires thought they would be eternal.

Magneto?..

Same. Want to work on said possible idea? I propose calling it a “foreign dating and immersive language practice” app

Well, considering the talking owl, and the strangely fast change of clothing, I’m going to infer a quantum engine fueled by air magic.

Yeah but if you burn the whole showroom gonna be awhile before you can even buy more to sell more Teslas anyway. Which would be a huge disincentive to try to sell Teslas again anyway.

But have you considered it’s still only February
