Obviously yes, one image is too many. But companies only care about money, and if their money is going to evaporate because of their stupid technology, they’ll figure out a way to shut it off before it costs them.
The alternative is the status quo, which is that there are no consequences so there are no changes. Or maybe you make the fine ten quadrillion dollars for the first image generated, which is never gonna fly.
Let’s say a user generates one image per minute. If they do that for an hour, that’s $30M. If they did that once a day for a month, that’s almost a billion dollars.
These services have hundreds of millions of users. Collectively, if they don’t stop, the fines will be total-world-GDP levels in days or weeks.
These things are nonconsensual sexual image machine guns, dude.
Less expensive: yep
Actually fun colors: yep
Windows is worse than ever: yep
It would have been surprising if this thing wasn’t a hit.

What a terrible day to know how to read
Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)
The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.

Here, water is mostly a liquid but there’s a ton in the gaseous state in the air.
A lot of places, water is just another type of rock.
I’m annoyed at the state of Apple’s app ecosystem. MacOS is worse this year than it’s been in a long time and I’m not updating on Macs that I control.
But have you used a windows pc recently? It’s like banging rocks together. Somehow, they keep finding ways to make it worse every year. Or month. So yeah, I’m using a Mac because it’s the less terrible option.
(And good luck getting your IT people at work letting you put Linux on your laptop.)
We have been complaining about this shit for YEARS.
Every time I see this happen, I just block the crossposting user account. It’s not perfect, but there aren’t that many of them and I find myself doing it less and less over time.
The Biden administration, in a move that infuriated trumpies, withdrew US forces from Afghanistan in 2021.
You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.
There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.
You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.
“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”

If you punch down, towards people that are less influential or less capable than you, someone “upward” of you is probably benefitting from the lower people fighting each other instead of themselves.
Couldn’t have happened to better people.
