    I've since realized this is an endemic problem in cube designing lol; after I played the most jank pile-of-cards-tossed-together cube while sitting around a small table in a hotel room... and having as much if not more fun than the carefully statistic-ed cube I've made.

    If Obzedat is any precedent to work off of, it would successfully flicker back, since exile is where the flicker effect expects to find it already

    General How much do you love Magic right now

    I like saying "Bear Force 1"

    General How much do you love Magic right now

    The only place I still play magic (occasionally at lunch at work) there are such decks as "bear tribal" (me), "Wanderer Pestilence", "transformers.dec", "DnD.dec" and so on.

    General How much do you love Magic right now

    I do not play nor buy magic anymore, so I'd put interest at ~0%, but don't know if "disgusted" is the word I'd use lmao. Still picked that one.

    Humans must do this. If they are using works in a way that is legally derivative, EVERY source used in such a way must be listed/paid/licensed with/etc. And it should be far, far, far, far easier for an AI to do this effortlessly. It's already linking keywords to certain functions internally...

    I agree with the overall sentiment of the post, just don't mix legally derivative and inspirationally, educationally, or observationally derivative. Like yes, all art that uses paint and brushes is "derived" from the original humans that invented that technology thousands of years ago, but it...

    Like, at a very basic level, it's just common knowledge that you credit a traditional artist when using their work. Almost everyone in this thread does that consistently already. This is one of the foundations of how artists get traffic to their work. Why doesn't MidJourney have to at least...

    Yeah my view has the livelihoods of the artists in mind. Not saying you don't, but at the end of the day, it's that effect bit. At the end of the day, the AI can't be made homeless. The human can. And with the perverse reality that their work was part of the input into the "learning" algorithm...

    And as always in law, intent and effect are ever-important. If the tool is for example non-profit and it's license prohibits direct use for commercial purposes, it would be harder to find it in violation of commercial protections. If someone needs a piece for a sold product, they still need to...

    A) depending on how they copy, it will be derivative, and will be subject to copyright. B) Otherwise it's fair use or be distinct enough to not even some up as CR, which I've already discussed, and C) the AI isn't "learning". The inputter is using the algorithms inside to generate derivatives...

    Yeah I'm talking about copyright law. A clearly defined set of rules, not your general ideas about payment for services in all aspects of life. And in most cases, there is payment there anyways: They do. They pay for art school. They were. They are called software engineers, mechanical...

    So it's not the fact that it's new tech (like I said). Or necessarily that it would replace/change how artists would make money. It's the combination of replacing an artist in the generation of works with the fact that their art needs to be directly used to do so. In classic copyright law this...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I certainly agree with a lot of aspects of what you said, and in general is the whole "if lives weren't at stake this would be viewed as a great tool by more". As a proof of concept engine? Yeah, absolutely. As a way to knock out some quick mock ups without having to deal with finding...
