what exactly do you do that AI won't take it over? or are you one of those "AI artists"? you do know their end goal would be to replace you as the "prompter" with AI and have auto generated content for everyone?
I'm a computer programmer and I'm not really worried about it. If it can take my job, then it can take a while slew of other jobs too, and society is in for a big upheaval.
the level of discipline needed in a trade has gone down in almost every trade, including all mediums of art, for centuries
its not really anyone's problem, and generally limited to the people that made way too much of their identity to be based on a single field, that they feel they have to gatekeep it
its great that people can express themselves closer to their vision now
artist have a style,you can see a work of art and know who made it, with these AI images its all random all over the place no direction, they can call them self's artists but i will never see them as that
so its for lazy people? who don't want to learn a skill? there are many ways to realize your creativity, and now you have to write your "prompt" for your creative result? then why not just write a story? like authors have been doing for ever ?
didn't i read something about apple,nvidia and other companies looking to use their foundries? why would they do that if its inferior or was that something else?
Wikipedia says the Canadian company was owned by the US company until its bankruptcy, when the Canadian company was sold. Very likely, it had operated with separate finances from the US parent, and didn't have the same sort of loans and extraction activities. So when the US firm went bankrupt, there was interest from multiple bidders for the Canadian assets.
They used to be connected; it was split in ~2017(ish) with the Canadian division having been bought while the US stores closed all locations. Doug Putman bought it in 2021 and I saw an article about 3 or 4 months ago that Putman took on ~$120M in debt financing to scale out the org.
what format can i a change the white balance of the image on other then RAW in software, for all the years i have used digital cameras i can't think of one...
most people who shoot RAW don't care for the in camera picture adjustments so don't care if RAW shows up looking what it did in the camera because we apply our own edits anyways, if we need something like that we shot jpeg
Blender a clone of other 3d software that cost money?
Blender was commercial software that cost money. After the company went bankrupt, the former CEO and a bunch of Blender users got together and raised enough money to buy out the source code and made it open source.
I don't think Blender can really be called a clone of anything other than in the most superficial sense. Certainly when Blender was first being release it looked and worked like nothing else in the industry, often much to its detriment.
