I still use wired earbuds sometimes. I’ve gotten them caught on doorknobs plenty whenever I forget to clip the wire to my shirt. Still prefer them over Bluetooth ones. Wired earbuds don’t run out of battery or randomly lose connection. I also remember a number of my friends citing their earbuds getting caught as a reason for switching to Bluetooth ones. It’s not unheard of.
I also thought this was a pinball machine.
I second this
Most people buying clothes aren’t looking for high fashion, they’re looking for something comfortable in a colour that they like. Those who are looking for fashion tend to get clothes that are originally designed and made by a tailor, and then copied so others may wear them, importantly with the consent of the tailor. These are akin to YCH commissions, since the artist/tailor gets paid for the design.
This doesn’t apply to AI image generation, as the artists are almost never asked for their consent before their work gets copied and cloned a million times over. Nor do they get any sort of compensation for their stolen work.
And they did so via slavery. Still do in some parts of the world. So their argument is still valid. Clothing people requires these tools, art does not. AI ‘art’ doesn’t need to exist.
The first two words of the screenshotted post is “I’m sorry”. I glanced over it at first because it’s just a turn of phrase, and actually had to go back when I saw the comment you’re replying to to check lol.
