  • I’ve read a few years ago of AI slop having like an unreadable signature on the bottom right, due to using a lot of data that had signatures there, including many from a same artist. I believe it was a Tweet by RJ Palmer. But what you describe seems more like someone is just putting their name on the slop they generate afterwards, with a simple image processing software.

    Another possibility I find a bit less likely would be that it is like that old phenomenon where the ai tries to generate the signature, but it actually does it correctly because it got better at handling text and enough of the art used is from the same person to make a coherent one.





  • The word in itself is pretty meaningless. They use it to refer to anything they consider left wing, but using “woke” instead of “left-wing” gives it an air of illegetimacy, like something newly made up. Like, they wouldn’t say that the BPP was woke, but might consider that a movie about them is. You could say the meanings are different because “woke” is more about culture, not about economy or revolt against physical conditions… But that’s the point, they try to reduce politics to only “culture wars”. Because making up narratives around that is easier to them than having a class analysis.













  • I haven’t posted or commented on Reddit since over a month, but I haven’t deleted my account yet. I have consulted Reddit a few times since, notably when it showed up in the results for a question I was looking up, or to see the posts from the r/Askhistorians weekly roundup (of which I follow the RSS feed). While the way I’ve been using Reddit lately doesn’t require an account, I’m unsure of whether I intend to delete mine; partly because if for whatever reason, I needed to post a question somewherebit will get a big audience, that’s the biggest I can currently get, and partly because I don’t want all my great posts and comments of the past to be lost to history…
