Hey mates, recently I’ve developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I’ve done in a bunch of other communities like !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the lemmy.dbzer0.com.
So now this is now active!

Pretty long ye? The way this works is that each a random option is picked from each collection wrapped in { }
which allows me to generate versatile options every day to keep things fresh
Here’s some sample images that will be created
If you have improvements you want to see on the prompt, do let me know in the comments. In the future I’m having thoughts of allowing the community here to automatically send adjustments ideas to the prompt for funsies.
1. Posts must be related to the discussion of digital piracy
2. Don’t request invites, trade, sell, or self-promote
3. Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles, including DMs
4. Don’t submit low-quality posts, be entitled, or harass others

It’s a change in something about /c/piracy. Where else would I publish this?
The better question is why else you would publish this.
Why did the old banner need replacement? Why not just replace it instead of setting up a bot to waste resources on a painfully generic new banner every day? Why not make it a community effort rather than a soulless corporate one?
There’s nothing corporate about what I do here.
As to why? The because I thought it would be a cool idea to have a new banner every day and because I like randomness, chaos and emergent order. Why do humans change things? Because we can. Because we find the idea cool. Because we like experimenting with creative tools and coming out with never seen before ideas and interactions.
You are fighting a losing battle and are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I am willing to bet the people complaining about things being changed wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out. LOL.
Oh totally. The irony is that the previous banner was GenAI as well.
Yeah that person is very clearly a troll. They probably don’t even believe some of their arguments and are just fighting back for the sake of fighting back and gatekeeping.
Honestly this level of pearl clutching is hypocritical in a piracy community which is why I think a lot of them (not all of them) are likely trolls who probably feel this same way about piracy, even if they won’t admit it.
Yes and I think that would’ve been a good way to roll the change. There will be people who dislike the change or the concept (me included). Roll the change quietly or posting about it on project relevant communities. Then on the site displaying the banner have a note about the project leading to further reading about the project, such as posting similar to this.
This way there would be information for those interested, not only about the project, but the change that had occured too. And ideological opponists would be blissfully ignorant about the whole matter.
But this is just one way to do it. Any way works. Have a good day. 👍

So? I also use a PC with components developed by AMD,Nvidia and half a dozen other corporatiosn. I live in a house developed by corporations. I eat food developed by corporations.
And unlike all those, Emad doesn’t get a dime from my random banners.
Same fucking energy
And if you posted about those here in the piracy sub you’d get the same complaints.
People here who care about art don’t want to see it replaced with generative genericness any more than they want it locked up behind a corporate paywall. Media pirates should be giving artists exposure, distribution, and donations, not reasons to switch careers.
I didn’t advertise Stable Diffusion. I posted about a cool new automation I developed. You’re really stretching credulity here…
I wouldn’t and can’t pay artists to make banners for a random community. Ergo I’m not taking anything away. Likewise someone who can’t pay for media, is not stealing money from the artists mouths like the corporate mouthpieces you’re parroting like a tool would argue.
If it was just “cool new automation” we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
You could have displayed someone’s already existing art and credited them with a link to their social profile, though.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”
Again, the marginal cost of distribution approaches zero, but the cost of production does not. Artists should be paid to do work, not for restricting access to work they have already done.
No, because that’s boring and not creative.
Perfect! No comments.
