Reply to comment by jar1967 in TIL in 1979, in between a double-header, the White Sox exploded a crate filled with disco records to stands of over 50k disco haters. Thousands flocked to the field afterward, which became so destroyed that they forfeit the 2nd game to the Tigers - the last time in AL history. by JackMacWindowsLinux
We had 10 cent beer night at our local AA stadium, but it was limited to 6 per. Crazy, but still was happening late 90s early 2000.

Reply to comment by ILikeLenexa in TIL Anvil firing is the practice of exploding an anvil into the air. Anvils are typically fired as a celebration, be it to honor St. Clement's (the Patron Saint of blacksmiths) or in a 21 anvil salut as found in New Westminster, British Columbia. by jamescookenotthatone
I would argue being able to see the projectile the whole time makes it a lot safer, than indiscriminate mm sized bullets.

I have read On Writing, and started using it as a guide to write. Writing without outlines and just going where the story goes has been great so far, creatively. however I have 100 pages for roughly 3 scenes. I can see what you mean.

I don’t think it can create new art though. It can only make what it’s trained on. That’s why all the current stuff has the same feeling. It’s a gimmick imo. Using AI to help you get ideas is as far as I would go. Nothing the computer makes should be displayed as “your’ work, but each person has their own interpretation.
Edit; you can reverse the process and be left all of the images it copies.

But is it your room if the AI made it? I can see it’s uses, but AI art has no soul.
Edit; AI is a tool, tools can be great, but when your tool does all the work for you then you become the tool.
