The stage and theatre scene is fantastic. Drag queens and stand up and puppetry and stage acting and music.
Also, really great green spaces and trails.
Also, sooooo many community events all the time.
i love this city and the midwest in general! minneapolis and chicago are both such good visits. people are so warm in mpls, there’s lakes everywhere, good food, affordable, great music etc etc it rocks. tons of public parks
I lived in MKE it’s super chill there! very good coffee shops and live music scene is cool. however, I’m from Minneapolis and I loved it while I was there. The art, music, nature, people, and cost of living is solid.
Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.
My name is Shawna. I responded “oh my god! My name is Shawn, too!” Then stuttered through saying “wait, no, that’s not my name.” and since I was so anxious I just rambled for way to long about the difference between our names.
