What is all this?

The images and text on this website have all been generated by artificial intelligence, particularly DeepAI for the text, and Stable Diffusion for the images. This allows us a unique opportunity to see how AI "sees" the world around us.

Consider this a parody of a real atlas, with generated images of maps, food, people, and my surprise favorite: some very unusual animals.

Biases, Cringe, and Outright Racism

There is a lot of controversy about the material AI is trained on. Most of this revolves around copyright, but this art experiment is designed to explore how AI, particularly Stable Diffusion, renders people of different ethnicities. There is a clear American bias, but when it comes to outright racist visuals, the AI succeeds far more than it fails. However, I have left the bad examples in situ so developers can learn how to make AI more equitable.

The Joy of AI

AI is a moving train, and some of its flaws resulted in some really fun images, particularly animals.

Due to the speed at which AI is being developed, this is already out of date as new updated algorithms have been released in the time it took to render these thousands of images. This will likely result in some of the more problematic areas moot by the time you read this. Future AI will have less errors, which won't result in as many of the funny images you'll find in this site.

Description

Wealth is more than money.”

The idea is that if the people are working longer, they’ll have less savings and are better off because the benefits they’re getting from their work will be better. The same goes for the people who are able to get back on their feet and get back to work.

There aren’t many things in a good life that are worth saving. Not only does it not mean you will be able to provide for your own safety and health, it also puts you at increased risk. The world has never had an opportunity for people to create better fortunes without having to work, save for years out of savings and invest in skills that can be passed down between generations. It’s the same story in business and politics.

So, is it worth saving if we can get everything we need into retirement from our 401(k)/other savings accounts from something more useful?

Saving in any form takes more time than saving in a 401(k)/other account. It takes something you’ve earned from your work experience (what you don’t have, no matter what you have now) to build savings.

If you don’t have a 401(k)/other account, your savings can make up for the loss that your hard work will have to pay in retirement. Here’s why.

If you get a good job, you’ve earned it. If you don’t, the job is more valuable than it would be.
