Prompt: A nightly photo of a street scene: A single person is calmly walking down a small path at midnight in an urban surrounding with fully detached houses with garden. There are few street lamps and a crescent moon in a starry summer sky. Vintage photography style.

Yep, and with access to the work files they not only can use final images for AI training but they have access to the complete background information like the different layers of an image.

Your first one looks great, that would be a nice exhibit for a bike fair.

My prompt was: a very cool green bike with a knot in the frame and pink tires

M.C. Escher’s Shopping Mall

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/59e2aa24-1fa4-42f4-8363-9d96914a3ac4.jpeg

It’s really hard to get something upside down from the AI generator. I went for Escher’s stairs and wanted to place them inside a shopping mall. As a workaround I could get the stairs inverted and added a polished floor as a mirror. Still not very convinced by the results, here’s the best one I could get after several iterations.

Prompt: a scenic view inside a shopping mall with a black shiny floor that’s polished like a mirror. There are several inverted stairs in a confusing upside-down architecture, similar to an image by M.C. Escher. Some people walk upside down on the underside of the stairs.

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

Why should they? The Web-Filter is a function that Google implemented themselves. It’s not a secret trick or something.

But it’s not a workaround. This Web-Filter is a function that Google offers by choice. It’s in the menu on the search page.

Germany does not yet recognize Palestine as an independent state, but an independent Palestinian state within the framework of a two-state solution has long been a firm goal of German foreign policy.

Volt wants:

To make digital rights binding. They call for a “Declaration on European Digital Rights and Principles”.

Tax revenues from digital technologies where they are generated.

Guarantee net neutrality and reject contradictory laws.

Enact laws against the unethical use of AI.

Correct. Amazon for example: everything that is sold via Amazon in Europe is taxed in Ireland. Even if a product which is available on Amazon is produced in France, stored in a French Amazon warehouse and shipped to a French customer. Just because it’s possible, they pay the reduced taxes in Ireland for such a deal. That needs to be fixed.

Yes but Biden is a human being while Trump is positioning himself as a representative of Jesus, creating a cult.

Prompt: a photorealistic picture of an astronaut walking on the surface of the moon, seen from behind. you can see his steps in the moon dust. there’s also a small crater. the astronaut encounters a huge black monolith similar to the iconic opening scene of the movie “2001 Odyssey in space”. In the sky above there’s a nebula and the sun. The image is somewhat grainy like a photograph.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

Most newer Phones do loads of filtering and post-processing on pictures automatically.

Most people think: “Wow, this device has good cameras!”

Some people think: “Wow, my photography skills really improved lately!”

What really happened is that the underlying softwares were changed dramatically in the last years.
