Merry Christmas!
That was a joke thread that I thought would last 72 hours. It was going to be about passing people kitted out on Creos. I made a chrome bike in 2019 while selling Specialized just ahead of the launch of the Creo, called Creo Eater. There would be a kid in a Dickens accent saying 'Look mom, its the Creo eater.' At the last second I changed it to smoking Vados on a whim in the post. Some people picked up on it. Smoke (meaning pass) three Vados in the morning, pass three more at night...Smoke three Vados. Here is what Creo eater looked like. It was my first bike with a silver motor and did not know how to shorten wire runs inside motors yet. That was an elegant and fast bike with an IGH 8. I could sip coffee while passing guys in spandex on $8,000 bikes. It was fun.

So, what year you were born, Uma? Honestly? A nice photo of yours would be the most welcome, too!

That's a rude question that Pedaluma apparently doesn't want to answer. Why are you pestering him?

Oh, those Americans...
Once a year, animals speak the human voices. I was hoping for Uma to open up.

I am not inclined to show photos of myself. I may look like this because I ride torque sensor bikes and have big hills. Yet no woman can get a single hand around the upper portion, not shown. It takes two baby. Those are size 13 feet, 33 cm, that directly translates to other parts. There is an old jazz song, your feet's too big. That makes it hard finding love when nothing fits.

The Sour part is the best! Besides, mostly wrong glass and too big portions

Brace yourself. AI imagery is our latest and arguably greatest bright shiny object. Nothing but more and more AI drivel ahead.

My biggest issue with AI (apart from the avalanche of utter slop) is my inherent distrust of those who curate/own/manipulate the LLM databases.
None of them are trustworthy.

We were all much safer when it was much harder to put credible likenesses — especially video likenesses — of other people in any desired made-up setting without their consent.

Exactly, the free online sites only produce safe restricted set movements.
But models running on private machines are free to do what they like.
They are already addressing this , but it sort of involves watching everyone 24/7.
We need to perform a factory reset on humanity.

On the other hand, if you produce an image on your own personal computer for personal use only, what business does the government or anyone else have "addressing it"? It only becomes a problem if you publish such an image. Not many people support the government watching everyone 24/7 on their personal devices in the privacy of their own homes. At least in the United States. It would be like the government reading your personal journal to make sure you didn't have any prohibited thoughts. Disclaimer: I don't have AI imaging software and have never used it online or locally.

Highly recommend anyone in need of ebike repair work to reach out to PedalUma. I can’t recommend his work enough. I look forward to cruising out on the golf course again. He even let me have a PedalUma sticker so I can proudly represent.
