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!

Home Desk for Future of Education - Closer Than We Think, December, 1960 [Historical Concept, AI Reconstruction]
(lemmy.today)
Classroom automation may foreshadow an end to schoolhouses. Lessons would be televised to students "going to school" at home, where their work would be done and transmitted to a control center for correction and grading.
Dr. Donald E. P. Smith of the University of Michigan believes teaching machines will appear in all classrooms before long.
A typical one projects questions in one panel, then, after an answer is written in a second panel, the right solution appears in still a third.
Such machines are now intended for classrooms, but application of similar principles to educational TV would make schoolhouses a thing of the past.
