Yep I disagree. The flights/hotels would be cheap AF also, because of 4 years of heightened inflation. Would be a deluge. This is the most influential country in the world, that kind of influence doesn't just go away because of one sitting president. Europeans would flock there
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
If a president announces abolishing tourism levis, do you not think travellers may book cheap holidays?
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok, thanks for your prediction
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
I wasn't talking about that, was more a tourism trade and stock market boom once he's out. But thanks for saying I'm adorable. Providing you are not being passive aggressive.

I think the problem will be when the next pres gets in they will reverse everything, the economy will shoot to the moon, and trump will go down in history as being the worse pres in history. I believe in the waiting game.

The issue for me is Epstein was a pretty secretive character. There is still currently zero court admissible evidence trump ever set foot on the island, only a testimony from Epstein's pilot. We all know trump frequented the place, they just need to catch him out
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea it's a possibility. I think if she senses things going downhill she may spill the beans. It's definitely a gambit for trump, deep down he must be secretly terrified
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
It will. It'll cause carnage, and when it all goes wrong they'll likely scapegoat someone in trumps cabinet for it

Jizz-Lane will try and claim wrongful conviction, as the entire premise of her conviction has now been declared a hoax, by the head of the FBI and DOJ. Her lawyers have quite a strong case... It's going to cause total and utter chaos.

She needs to rot in jail. Trump has likely already put the offer on the table. He will lose some credibility and burn through some more followers but I doubt he cares at the point.

She'll exclude Trump so she can get a pardon. Watch...

I've missed part of this debate but the thing with AI art is the same kind of thing with pornography. Who do you blame for it, the people making it, or the people using it? It's often not as simple as "bad AI companies!" Or "bad AI artists!" Oness needs to be on the creators as well as the platforms

I get it, man... You F'ing hate Adobe. π
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Images are easy to trace. Eventually the courts will demand any IP to be shown to authorities, and measures put in place for royalties and permissions for certain categories
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea I get that but on the other hand there is being a professional and keeping your kit and your software consistent. There is a reason why majority of pros still use Adobe
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea they do but then how many of my images has Adobe profited from behind my back? They only put that clause in because they use your shit to train ai. If you're a pro your shit has already been used to train ai. A lot.

It's kinda industry standard. My laptop is small, light, powerful robust and lasts for a long time. I took it on a shoot in the Sahara desert last year. It only overheated once. And that's because I abused it! I'm F'ed if I'm gonna risk my career without a MacBook pro. I've had them for decades
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm more after a paid alternative like affinity or liminar or something. My problem is I've gotten so used to PS over the years I know every nook and cranny and I'm concerned if I swap I'll have to start from scratch. But yea Adobe is shite and a rip off

I remember those old photoshops.. well archaic. I think I had a cracked copy of PS 5 on a CD before I went to uni, in the late 90s. Were going back a long way here. I have a feeling it may affect my workflow somewhat if I went back to it.

I only use Photoshop. The others are capture one, helicon, on1, couple others. I'm shopping around for a Photoshop replacement so I can be free of Adobe 100%. Just thought I'd try android PS see what it's like

I think America needs to be careful about Ukraine's future. If Ukraine does one day fall, due to Trump's indifference, it'll become an insurgency. And if America is perceived as being to blame, Ukraine is currently leading the world in covert drone warfare. Just saying. #Zelenskiyholdsthecards

AI drone sounds a little like the sort of thing storm shadows/Taurus use. I guess in the future the whole thing will be automated, it'll land itself, a machine will rearm it, it'll refuel itself and take off again. All the operator will need to go is make sure the fuel/weapons are stocked up

Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Putin wouldn't dare try kompromat on Trump.. would lead to instant sanctions and a load of military aid to Ukraine. Then trump would deny it and Putin would be left empty handed
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree. But I do wonder about kompromat and trump. If the Russians ever reveal anything trump will just deny it, just like he did all the rape, fraud and pedophilia. It's currently looking like he's gotten away with the Epstein island sex crimes
Rowan (@shepmcrocco.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump will do whatever makes him the richest. If Putin is wise he will offer trump a hotel deal or some other personal gift, this will determine whether there are sanctions
