I do retouching work. Recently lost a client to an ‘AI’ retouching firm. When the client came back to me to fix loads of stuff and I looked at the output, it became apparent that the work had actually just been outsourced to India and there was no magic AI solution.

Gen AI is an amazing tool but not a one click solution like so many are claiming.

Seems it has quite a few meanings, I was only aware of the explosive one, thanks!

What is Maroon in this context?!

Sausage in - sausage out

I want to own one of these one day. Rented an old beater in Albania recently. No AC and bits falling off. Had an absolute blast and learned a few lessons about 4WD.

Fuck that potato canoes FTW

Cleanest looking site I’ve seen in a while

I know a few producers, the only one who is full time doesn’t really need the money. The rest mostly do muaic tuition or similar, seems like a good match if you know an instrument(s).

Tasty beak?!
