The future was yesterday.

Cool pics of cool retro-ish stuff. Moved here form !spacetech because more and more of my stuff wasn't space stuff.

If I know an image was made with AI, I'll label it as AI. Beyond that, I'm not gonna spend time investigating how every image was created. If it looks interesting, I post it. Whether it came from a camera, Photoshop, an artist, or AI isn't something I take too seriously.

If you know how an image was made, feel free to say so. If you don't know, don't worry about it.

Rule 1: No serial downvoting. This includes downvoting multiple posts just because they involve AI. Let’s keep Lemmy positive. Automod on duty.

Rule 2: Be civil. Play nice. And If you don't like it here, just find a different community.

Rule 3: AI is fine. If it looks cool, it is cool, babe! Label if ya want. Or not. I don't care.

Rule 4: Don't just call content “slop,” or use similar insults, unless you also contribute content yourself.

Rule 5: Weird that I have to make this an actual rule, but here we go: No advocating violence or murder.

If you don't like these rules, I suggest you create you own community with your own rules. Lemmy can always use more content!

That's a damn fine book cover. I actually checked this book out for my school library when I was a teenager.

Read it in a weekend. Then I wrote a book report on it. Great book!

Interesting digging stance

Definitely looks awkward. I'm not sure what he is doing.

If this cover were created today, everyone would be screaming, "AI slop! Look at the shovel and stance of the guy digging!" lololol

Kinda makes sense to me, shovel is angled down and away from the body, pulling the sand/dirt in a way so they don't accidentally strike the suit if they were digging in and shoveling normally.

I see what you mean, also they are ankle deep but i like your interpretation
