Reminds me of a black mirror episode. 15 million something.
Holy shit, that’s the best AI animation I have seen yet!
This is the worst AI video generation will ever be.
It’s getting truly scary. The assault on fact will be much easier going forward.
That is like saying that Jurassic Park was the worst that special effects would ever be.
I think I agree. I thought it was remarkably realistic and not in the uncanny valley like almost all AI animations.
AIfox on YouTube has done some pretty crazy ai edits to star wars. https://youtu.be/k_0mTC7AbZs
Loved the vaping. But how many times can a robot pick up the same box in the background?
Like almost all AI animations that you recognize as AI animations. The technology is advancing quite rapidly.
Reminder that corporations remove Luigi merch from marketplaces. And social networks like reddit ban using Luigi face as profile images etc
Okay, we’re slowly getting into the questionable territory here.
This is nothing; you should see the one where he rips open his cowl to reveal his shimmering sculpted physique
I don’t believe you…. Link?
Lol! I had to scroll down a single page to see it, and the slow reveal as I scrolled was amazing! 10/10 great art!
You have my intention.
Edit: Oof, I did this without my glasses on and am just now seeing it lol
Absolute masterpiece. This has a place in my gallery forever.
Not since Cecilia Giménez, has the world known such craft.
I’m gonna throw up this is too real. AI has gone to far
He’s my hero. Please more people follow in his footsteps. Praise be to Luigi
wow :D if that sun didn’t move it would be flawless.
in this type of artwork, that depicts a halo, not the sun. The AI actually got that right
To St.Luigi we pray
Let my dick be much longer
Let my dick be much girthier
Let my foreskin be the perfect size
Grow my left ball to match my right one
Bless me with huge tits for my lovely wife
Better knees for both of us
Give us health and healthcare
Turn putin, Trump, and other evils around
Turn them around twice at the top than the bottom
Make all suffering become happiness
End money
End banks
End wars
End war machines
End diseases, especially sexual ones, so we can fuck freely without fear
Give animals their habitat back
Give us the power to need less from the world
Free Luigi from evil justice
End all evil governments
Give us useful governments
It worked! It worked!
My wife loves my huge tits!
How’d you know that thing about my balls?
I just thought to add something we can all benefit from.
We all should pray for the biggest most beautiful and cancer free tits women have ever had. C’mon St. Luigi!
Amen
Saint Buddy Luigi
Fucking scared the SHIT out of me when it animated!
Nearly threw my hands up and yelled I AM NOT A CEO
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God
Matthew 19:24
I like to contextualize this in a modern form. I like to say, “there are no billionaires in Heaven. In the end, every last one of them burns.” When I see Musk, Bezos, or Trump, I see men who are literally and inevitably headed for the very literal fires of Hell. Let them have their vanity here. In the end, they’re all gonna fry.
I don’t know what qualifies as “rich.” But I don’t think a modest 401k to support yourself in retirement is going to damn anyone. I don’t know where the line is, but by the time you get the obscene level of a billionaire, you have been consumed by greed.
I like to imagine wealth and as an anchor. Would you die, your soul tries to ascend upward. But those with great wealth find themselves chained to a great golden weight, a spiritual manifestation of their wealth and greed on Earth. And as they try to fly upward, they instead are pulled down, down, and down. They see the surface of the Earth rise up above them like a diver descending beneath the ocean’s surface. And they do not stop falling until they reach the Pit.
The context for the original quote is Jesus speaking to a “young ruler”. The young ruler asks if he will be judged as a good person. He follows all the religious laws and is very pious. Jesus tells him to sell his possessions and give the money to the poor. Jesus promises the man that his reward will be great in heaven, but the young ruler cannot bring himself to do it.
I don’t see this as Jesus telling everyone to live in poverty. This is Jesus testing the man’s faith. Even though Jesus himself promises the man a reward for giving up his possessions, he doesn’t trust Jesus. He doesn’t have faith that his actions will be rewarded in heaven. The warning isn’t that having possessions is inherently evil, but that one can be so tied to their Earthly possessions they can refuse a direct request by Jesus himself.
I like to view it in the context of the passage about the three people donating money. One wealthy man donates a large sum of money, while a man who makes an average living donates a smaller amount, and the last is an old lady who donates something akin to $1.50. In the end, Jesus declares that the old lady gave the most because she donated all that she feasibly could while the wealthy man gave what was a mere pittance of his money and the other man gave a noticeable portion of his salary, but not enough that he would miss it.
The effort and generosity behind a donation (whether of time or money) is more important than the donation itself, and that’s what the rich can’t understand. By the time you get to that level of wealth, you’ve spent so much energy in accruing wealth that you no longer have the empathy to see those around you who truly need aid, and to lose that empathy is to lose an essential part of what makes us human - a part of the divinity that exists within us.
“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”

If you’re on lemmy, you’re probably rich. Like worldwide rich.
Edit: Yall hating on me, just like any mf from Tajikistan hates you. Yeah. That’s a real country and 1% of your income could change their lives but you’ve never thought about it because you’re trying to keep up with the Joneses and thinking about Musk
Oh fuck off. This is the same mentality of pushing the climate crisis off onto everybody instead of the few people causing it.
No it’s not. Some dude is quoting the Bible. So no basis in reality. The quote generally talks about giving all your stuff to the poor and being a boon to humanity instead of keeping things for yourself, but I point out that people here have more than most in this world and I’m wrong?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_per_adult
I quoted the Bible because the image in the OP is Luigi in the style of a saint. I’m not religious.
If I said “the Sun is hot” and you said “if you live on Earth you experience temperatures hotter than most of the universe” you also wouldn’t be wrong. You’d be Neil deGrasse Tyson. Most of the universe is -270°C. Earth is 15°C. The sun is 1,000,000°C. No matter how you look at it, the Sun is hot. The Earth is only hot if you purposefully compare it to cold things.
1/3 of the world make $2 a day. I made about $137 a day. Thompson made $27,945 a day. I am $135/d away from the poorest and $27,808/d away from Thompson. I’m not sure what the goal is of saying I am rich compared to the poor when I am 205x closer to being the world’s poorest than I am to being a multi-millionare, let alone one of the approx. 2,700 billionaires in the world.
my goal isn’t about ignoring the super rich. it was more about spending one day, Xmas day, thinking more about the poor.
Don’t use them as props in your arguments then and speak about them with compassion and how to raise them up then.
I mean it’s true. Nothing you ever do will matter.
Edit: Outside of luigiing, but that probably can’t work twice. And it probably does matter much either. I think the point is that it’s not what you can accomplish, which being rich in your eyes seems to make you more responsible for (you could feed a starving kid for 53 cents a day, but likely don’t ), but how you conduct yourself.
Anyway I do find it a little hypocritical that people here on lemmy complain about the rich when they have probably never missed a meal. Yeah, there are people that could feed most of the world, but I’m not addressing them.
To give you some context on at least one downvote.
I have been homeless like proper homeless sleeping on a metal chair with a backpack outside my college for weeks using the gym to shower and working 3 jobs to afford the basic idea of the American dream of going to college and nothing else. I spent most of my childhood hungry as my incubator spent all money on her vices.
I ended up fleeing the country via a work program that basically made me an indentured servant for a few years while I tried to get my life together in a way where I didn’t want it to end anymore.
You speak for a lot of people you don’t know when you say sweeping statements about the audience to who you are talking to.
But also with that said I bet most of the down votes are still people who have not lived a life nearly that rough and think that renting is an equal level of poor and don’t want to hear it.
The discrepancy you’re pointing out across different countries is at most 18x, according to your article.
Let’s ignore, for a second, that “richness” needs to be considered in the context of COL. Yes, 1% of someone salary could make an impact in Tajikistan. But the cost of a meal for that potential donor could also bankrupt someone in Tajikistan. But let’s ignore that for now.
18x an average persons salary is a fart in the wind when it comes to the rich. Take a look.
comfortably rich in [pick whatever capital city you want] is a grain of sand compared to being a billionaire though, that is the level of disparity we are talking about
I understand that. the Bible makes no such exceptions and probably couldn’t imagine what we have now. we should help who we can. we live better than any king in the Bible. I know about the disparity that exists now. my only point is that everyone here on lemmy is likely above the world median but acts like they are paupers because they compare themselves to celebrities. I hear Oxfam does good work if you don’t want to work locally. I’m down with eat the rich, just please don’t mistake yourself for poor if you’re not. if there wasn’t an ocean between the usa and Africa we would probably look at wealth differently. but all that said, of course the wealth graph shouldn’t look exponentially increasing, but for a biblical discussion I think you can ignore the top 5% as a historical anomaly ignoring the usury.
Congress to ban AI in 3…2…1…
I’ve been using this st Luigi image as reddit profile photo - and reddit removed it with the explanation I was glorifying violence. Wtf
You have to remember that the CEO wasn’t Palestinian
down with AI trash
I looks really good, though.
Just another butthurt “artist” looking for something to blame for their lack of creativity and latent talent.
I’m no artist, but well done for just taking a guess and posting.
I posted what I posted because AI slop makes my skin crawl.
In my experience, the people who are the most excited about AI are the people who are doing poorly at being a person, specifically people who have trouble interacting with other people.
You’re using the term “butthurt” without a shred of irony in 2024, so I don’t know, man. Forget what I’m saying, go out there an prompt them LLM’s.
Sure, but only if we do away with the human trash as well.
This animation is incredible. The best AI generated animation I think I’ve seen. The only weird thing I can detect is the excessive flopping of his sleeve. But to make up for it is the way his index finger is slightly bent because you can’t tuck the rest of your fingers all the way in without doing so. Crazy stuff.
His crows feet looked odd.
Oh yeah I see it too! Between this and the other things, they all seem to have a slight over-exaggeration of what we’d expect. Kinda interesting.
Now imagine what the big guys have available to em
How about his addams apple (throat lozenge) shifting all the way to the side?
Nice observation
Oh good catch! That’s a bit wonky. Through his shoulders do turn that way so I can kinda see what the AI was “thinking”.
Someone should mail this to a few CEOs lmao
Hey, Americans, nothing stops your Democrat-run blue states from improving your healthcare.
“Nothing” you say?
Like, no Republicans…
Capital flight.
Out of California, New York, Massachusetts? Lol, yea right.
Maybe. It’s worth trying.
Yeah, Jersey is nicely blued, but beholden to big pharma, and I think messing with healthcare hits too close to home. Governor race is next year though and so hopefully this issue stays hot.
The right wing bogeyman. If it were that simple, California would be as broke as Alabama and Louisiana would be New York.
Why? UHC is cheaper than the current system. You wouldn’t need any extra taxes.
Really shows me how traumatized I am by United Health Care when I see UHC and it immediately brings them to mind and not Universal. I had to put in some work to understand that Acronym
It’s only cheaper if you consider current healthcare costs. It would require tax increases, and under current progressive tax models, those would be disproportionately high for the upper class, for whom the increase would not offset the elimination of their healthcare premium.
Yeah we need to deflate the disproportionately high pricing of the health care caused by insurance as well, if we could get it at the national level we could eliminate a lot of the back office overhead, and then maybe negotiate a revisit of the master charge list so that Tylenol in hospital isn’t something crazy like $250 dollars a dose. State by state this would probably be much more difficult.
I don’t know how you can say with any confidence that the increase would not offset the elimination of their healthcare premium when the system literallydoesn’t exist.
I said under current progressive tax models.
And what would this non-existent healthcare system cost them to contribute to?
It depends on the state. Massachusetts actually does have a flat income tax, so maybe it would be easier to do there. But even so, wealthy people might prefer to buy private plans, and see the tax as redundant.
No, the sum of all premiums paid by all Americans is way more than is required. You could make it a flat tax and it’d still be cheaper.
The tax increase is more than offset by the cost of premiums.
That may be the case, but do you have any evidence or reasoning? There are a certain number of people right now who don’t have insurance or who have very bad insurance, and a universal insurance would have to have to make up what’s missing for those people.
There’s a variety of ways to implement it, but the vast majority save trillions in the long run. https://www.citizen.org/news/fact-check-medicare-for-all-would-save-the-u-s-trillions-public-option-would-leave-millions-uninsured-not-garner-savings/ has a couple sources listed, even a Koch-funded institute found it would save money.
The reasoning is simple: you cut out the middlemen who demand a portion of the premiums for themselves. Those costs are instantly removed, and there isn’t really anything that starts costing more in return.
There’s also collective governmental bargaining on procedures and medication which lowers prices.
I understand that it saves money overall. I don’t understand how it could save money for individual high-income tax payers. At some earning level, your taxes will be raised by more than you would pay for insurance. Even under a flat tax, that has to be the case, right? You would need a regressive tax to actually make it beneficial to every single resident.
massachusetts did it and it works great; not as good as single payer, sure, but better than the alternative.
Is this a reference to Romneycare or did they improve upon that?
that’s a bit of a misnomer since it was passed by the overwhelmingly democratic statehouse while romney fought it the entire time
Sorry, I italicized it now. Anyone who uses that name, uses it in jest. The funniest part was during the ACA thing and him acting clueless.
nothing stops your Democrat-run blue states from improving your healthcare.
Given the two party system, and the fact that republicans arent in power in these states, that only leaves the Democrats themselves.
End First Past The Post voting. Introduce competition into the electoral process. FREE voters ability to choose.
But I guess that isn’t profitable enough for some.
Nothing lasts forever…
These sound like commitments you guys should be asking of the Democrats.
They’ve been asked. Request was denied.
It’s certainly harder to do on a state level. There is no inter-state border control. Doing single payer on a state level is likely to bring in the worst cases from at least neighboring states.
California might do it, but they have a few big advantages. First, their population is high enough that they can absorb a little cross state immigration without hitting the balance too hard. Second, the states near them tend to be more sparsely populated, unlike the east coast.
Basically you’re looking at only California and New York if you want to do it on a state level. And they’re both going to face huge lobbying against it.
If this is something you want to get done, it’s got to have a lot of public support. And if you’re able to gather that much public support, why not just do it federally? It works better that way anyway.
Cause the whole point is that we can’t do anything federally but can at the state level.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that decision-makers all over the planet are absolutely horrified at the idea of making any sweeping changes whatsover to health care system, whatever it is. Because they fear the very real possibility that they will cause masses of deaths due to complications during the transition and then that will be their legacy.
If we take at face value that there exists a change that one can just simply make to the healthcare system, and then it will all be better, there’s still going to be some kind of transition.
The healthcare doesn’t need to change. Just how it is funded.
