I generally don't voice my opinion about a change to LC in a manner in which I am about to do so. Specifically regarding to ownership and generally with so many words.
While I enjoy both realistic and non-realistic AI in both games and images, I think Jack's decision is a good one for the benefit LC's longevity.
If and when AI renderings are not considered a promotion of abuse/exploitation of RL humans, then it won't be a risk to web site ownership to provide said content
Said content, when included in sites like LC, currently are at the forefront of government scrutiny and litigation regarding AI (specifically child pornography/abuse). I want to thank Jack in making this decision, so that LC can provide a much needed outlet for (sorry, the term just came to mind) "edging" the AI/Gaming spectrum.
Ever since I found LC, I have been appreciative of the variety of content that has been provided. Yes, I have witnessed the past several years of introspect Jack has had, and what might seem as spur of the moment decision making affecting all users (donating or not), it apparently doesn't deter the fact that for those visiting LC (donating or not) tend to return at a later date.
THIS SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT LC.
Sure, I have had my moments, not publicly, but in my own head, of saying "WTF is going on", but I always remember that this is not "my" site. I visit this site, that is provided by somebody else, for the entertainment I desire. I just wish everybody else would see this the same way.
Most of the responses to the OP have been relatively positive and supportive. I like that.
For the few that are immediately asking for more specificity, well, I will leave you all to find your own enlightenment into what you can and cannot control in your lives.
This is a service that you are either donating to or not. Either way, nothing entitles you a voice in how the site is run or what it provides unless the owner grants such.
Sorry, I didn't mean to preach there.
Anyway, personally, I thank you Jack, for keeping things moving forward with LC.
