politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So glad you burnt just a teeny but of our planet down for a shitty picture.
Totally fucking worth it bro, who needs real leopards when we can "make" pictures of them with AI?
Oh fuck off with this shit. Do you say the same about people using electricity to run their graphics card when playing a game?
We use electricity everyday for frivolous shit. That’s clearly not your problem here.
I guess @givesomefucks@lemmy.world doesn't know that you can host GANs on your own computer to train models and generate images on your own system for the same electrical cost associated with playing a video game.
Clearly the energy and fuel is better spent sending a photographer and actors to a place with leopards for a meme. Without paying them for their time of course.
Bro I'm not the one that wasted a shit load of water just to generate a stupid picture. Don't be a weirdo
I can generate this kind of shit on my own pc and it doesn't even go past to solar limits of the house. Idk what the datacenters use water for but doing it at home doesn't, unless maybe in power generation where there is no solar or wind.
No but you probably did to enjoy a steak or streamed a video. Don't be yourself Alan.
