Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nebula1976" data-source="post: 27723" data-attributes="member: 9265">I'll tell you a joke from the soviet union.But first, a little explanation.In the soviet union, any entrepreneurial activity was prohibited. Not always; during Perestroika and the New Economic Policy (NEP), the authorities permitted it. But private entrepreneurship was generally prohibited. All companies had to be state-owned, including taxis.But, unlike in North Korea, personal cars weren't banned for most of history. They were just very few in number. And they were inferior, but better than the GDR's Trabants.And some people simply engaged in illegal business, providing taxi driving services to Soviet citizens. This was illegal taxi service.All legally licensed Soviet taxis had a special sign: a yellow, prismatic light with a checkered pattern. The light was mounted on the roof of the car.  People called these lanterns "Checkers".And then one day a Soviet intellectual signals that he needs a taxi. The driver of a simple car stopped and asked where to go.- Where are the "Checkers"? - asked the intellectual.- Do you need the "Checkers" or do you need to go? - the driver asked in response.It's not for nothing that I wrote that I'm a libertarian. Our political and philosophical views on life are based on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_utility" target="_blank">theory of marginal utility</a>.I'll oversimplify this theory on purpose. If people don't need goods and services, they don't buy them. Leftists simply don't understand this. And because of this, the economies of countries where leftist Marxists are in power usually collapse.In this particular case, the images I've published are free. But you, dear users, are still consumers. It's up to you to decide whether you want the images I've published or not. It doesn't matter whether these images are created by artificial intelligence or not. You need to go, right? And not admire the "Checkers" on taxi car?Upd. I apologize if I wrote it very difficult. I explain everything very simply. People here just want pictures. And people for the most part don’t care how this or that picture was created. They may like the picture or not. The picture was created by AI, whether it is a real photograph or a hand-drawn drawing is completely irrelevant.</blockquote>
