  • I don’t hate AI-created images. I hate the insane amounts of energy required for current AI models. I hate that it’s the same rich assholes who control everything also controlling AI. I hate that they monopolize access to models trained on all our work. And I hate that it will be these rich assholes benefiting from humans being put out of work by AI. Because this will happen on some scale.

    If it were free, I’d love AI. Because it allows people who aren’t artists to create stuff. And lowering the barrier of entry on art is always good, in my opinion.












  • It’ll be fine, although I fully understand why you’re nervous. As others said you will definitely walk or bike a lot more. Most people speak English to some degree and are open to help you. There’s the old joke that in the US 100 years is a long time and in Europe 100km is a long distance. It’s kind of true. If your parents live over 100km away in Germany you will never see them again because it’s just too far. If you’re moving to the area “around Hamburg” you might not visit Hamburg proper that much. And Hamburg is the only city in the north. The next cities are Bremen, Hanover and Berlin, which are all to the West, South and East respectively. All of them are very far away from Hamburg, so you will never visit them. To the north of Hamburg there is nothing but tiny villages until you hit the Danish border.
