I don’t disagree but downvoting for slop
The irony of them using the apex of capitalist greed 😂
Socialism is when no iPhone type of comment.
Socialism is when no iPhone, because electronics would inevitably move towards user serviceable designs that aren’t made to wastefully be replaced every year.
Definitely true! But when people say this they generally are playing on a false moral sin for Marxists to use items made under capitalism, as though Marxism is a religion.
It’s also used to claim under socialism there would be no innovation (there were literally no technological advancements until Adam Smith invented competition in 1776) and that the iPhone is the pinnacle of human ingenuity.
Yep!
Can’t even exploit my workers without these leftists purity-checking me these days! /s
Britain stole all that land, wealth, and culture, but couldn’t steal a recipe.
stfu, communism bad, freedom good
This is a joke right?
Freedumb to buy corporate products
Freedom to consume
Freedom to work
Freedom to hate
Freedom to die homeless without healthcare
Get this AI generated garbage out of here
get your braying out of here, nobody cares
I and the distribution of upvotes/down votes disagree
did I hear a noise?
And they both united to fracture India into two, just because a united India was projected to become the greatest superpower to ever exist in less than a century.
India was projected to become the greatest superpower to ever exist in less than a century.
And in the 60-70s, it was projected we’ll all have flying cars and a habitat on the moon in 50 years.
slopping “sloppunism slopped 100 sloppillion”
Can we even calculate the total death toll of captalism? We will never fully understand the unnecessary misery that this economic system has caused.
And all that lost progress, all those minds that could have changed the world consigned to a lifetime of stocking shelves or stitching T shirts.
Your bad, wordy meme is made all the worse by the slop filth you used as images. If you don’t want to create something with actual effort, use a template rather than giving corpos more power for no reason.
Just scribble out your vision, it will be better than AI.
Can you please explain how using AI to generate this image gives corporations power? I’d argue it does the opposite due to the memes anti capitalist nature.
It normalizes using corporate-owned, corporate-trained, tools that inherently favor corporate perspectives and propaganda. Even an attempt to subvert capitalist messaging can get screwed up by letting the corpo clanker choose what to draw. The images are just inherently biased and weird.
Here, somehow both panels have a white-supremacist and colonialist undertone: we get a white-savior businessman explaining things to a crowd of grateful Asian people; then he’s standing alone in his formal suit, framed as the only rational thinker in an exotic desert.
I understand that both of these interpretations are perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I truly believe that if OP had taken the effort to design and draw their own imagery for these panels, the imagery would not have had these weird colonialist implications that undermine their intended message.
I do understand that interpretation, although this is not just a feature of AI generated memes. Most memes posted here use only white characters or have western opinionated bias although I don’t see anyone having issues with that, it’s only when it’s AI generated.
The person who created this meme had the option to make the characters in the meme to of various ethnicities but didn’t. It’s not particularly difficult to prompt AI’s in specific ways so it reveals your creative vision rather than allowing the AI to make the decisions for you.
Yeah, with a careful prompt it can work, I guess. But the assumptions it makes around your prompt are insidious and sneaky.
then he’s standing alone in his formal suit, framed as the only rational thinker in an exotic desert.
I saw it as two different people.
His hair and face seems different, with a darker tone.
I see it as Westernised non-Westerner, noticing the lack of attention and support.please explain how running an open model like Z-Image on my machine normalizes corporate-owned tools, I’ll wait https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo
Z-Image is literally made by Alibaba, c’mon now. While you do get access to the weights, and you can tweak it to your liking, you don’t get access to the bulk of the training data that was used to train it, and the corporations are still making the foundation model.
I’ll concede that your workflow is definitely way better than booting up a closed-weight model running remotely via API though.
Ok it’s made by Alibaba, you don’t get access to original training data and how does any of that actually matter?
It proves that people are using it and they use that engagement to drive investments and growth
But then we are using the internet, social media and devices controlled by corporations.
Lemmy is better, without corp control and by having pro-socialist instances.
I really don’t understand this idea that it’s the fault of individuals when massive corporations and investors greenlight all of these horrible things. You can’t blame AI growth on individual users. The investors and board members made those decisions and the blame needs to go on them, not any of us.
When consumers and workers are blaming each other for the faults of the rich we will never be able to unite against them.
New research shows that US and European sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1970.

Alright, I know everyone is busy fighting over the meme being AI, but can someone comment on that number of dead people? How are we coming to that number? Are we counting all the famines?
It’s calculated from excess mortality in census data - the full range given is 50 million to 165 million depending on how you calculate the baseline, but the top end is uncertain due to lack of census data from before Britain conquered India.

True, but L for using AI-generate graphic.
Do you have another version of the meme? Any template recommendations?
Thank you. Will try with those.
Any versions which would be good for memes with longer text?
Tbh no one cared about brown people, I feel bad.
Most of you need to get a grip. It’s a tool, OpenAI might serve it as part of their offer but they don’t own it.
This doesn’t even look like what their models output, it’s probably Qwen.
And before you go on a diatribe about the environment, datacenters would be being built next to windfarms if it wasn’t for the oil industry and it’s bribes. AI isn’t the cause of global warming, it’s just a scape goat.
You can literally run Z-Image Turbo on a laptop, the whole data centre argument is very stale at this point https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo
Slop killed 100 million people in only 3 years. Still support slop?
Oh so you given up posting these lies on reddit & have started here. Kept on getting them taken down & too many proved it was revisionist crap.
For the record, this is a load of shit, & your statement is utter bollocks, historically & factually.
Ew a redditor
I’m not proud of it!
British chuds stay mad
Its not that, it’s about wanting to change history by lying about it. It pisses me off whether it’s about prwtending coatian death camps didn’t exist in WW2, the idea the British committed genocide, or that the Japanese didn’t commit hideous war crimes.
History IS
It is not what you, me or anyone else wants it to be, it’s simply what happened, for better or worse.
Genocide apologist says what
History as written by the British at the time.
It should all be viewed through that prism.
Oh, So you are angry with how the losses of life due to capitalism and especially British colonisation are mentioned.
On the reddit part, I likely don’t know you.
And for the record, the dishonesty in your comment and attempt at attacking the topic and me is easy to see through.
Your claim that the British committed genocide by organising a drought in the middle of WW2 is risable. Its cheap historic revisionism, utterly ignoring what was happening at that time.
You throw up a picture of people affected by famine & tack “British empire” on the end to get attention.
This exact same thing was posted on reddit weekly, but I guess the blinding similarities are pure coincidence.
The British, historically known for never having committed horrible and inhuman atrocities throughout the world and treating India with exploitation and contempt.
Bullshit, its about screaming genocide & murdering millions which is just a complete historical & factual lie. History is, rewriting it to fit some revisions nationalistic agenda is foul.
