Image Came across an AI-generated artwork at National Gallery Singapore. What do you think?

I was walking past the National Gallery towards Funan when this poster caught my eye. I wondered if it was AI-generated, so I popped in to have a look, and it was.

According to the description, the artist trained an AI model using images from Apocalypse Now and used passages from a book as prompts.

Does this artistic context make it different from generic AI art? Genuinely curious what others think.

News Woman sues preschool for negligence after son was pushed off indoor slide by another student

The rest of the videos showed her son's interactions with the boy involved in the incident, including a head-on collision. The woman said her son could be heard saying "pain, pain" afterwards and the teachers were "completely unaware" that such an incident had happened.

The other boy pushed her son off the slide twice, she said. After the first time, her son fell to the ground but got back up. When he tried to climb the slide again, the other boy, who was already sitting at the top, pushed him off.

This time, the woman's son fell from the top step.

He used his hand to break his fall and "narrowly missed" a tricycle that another student was riding in the same area. After that, he ran to the teachers, showing them his hand. He was injured in the fall, although the extent of his injuries was not mentioned in court. 

The woman and her husband broke down in tears in court as they watched the clip of their son. The boy's father covered his eyes as he wept while the video continued playing.

After composing herself, the woman told the court that she had created notes marking key moments in the video clips. "I wanted to have a sense of the overall supervision of the play from the start to the end. I wanted to put things into perspective on when there was supervision and when there was not," she said.

Serious Discussion NS injury discussion - low pay/mental health edition

Upvotes

Hi guys, me again, back to launch the annual NS injury discussion thread

We are in a period where i imagine a lot of us are having strong feelings after the recent tragic passing of an NSF firefighter as well as the announced minister pay increments with no mention of raising NSF allowances. With that in mind, let’s please keep this discussion civil and share how our nation’s greatest “privilege” has left you scarred or hurting after 2 years of cheap labour.

As usual, I’ll go first. Tore my left meniscus in SCS, became an admin clerk, was told i was C9L0 meaning i was field deployable, went for Rot 4b and ended up with ACL tears in both knees (80% left, 50% right). Meniscus tear service injury claim was denied by my scs OC on the bullshit grounds that it was related to my sporting history, and my admin work was in the manpower branch so i saw first hand how long and how shit the service injury process was. Went the private route for knee surgery at the height of the pandemic in 2020, till this day i play sports at a fraction of my former ability and wear knee guards on both knees during sports for stability.

Mentally, it left me in an incredibly dark place, full of bitterness and rage towards the government for stealing the brightest years of my life and leaving me crippled. It took me a long time to overcome this and become a happier and bubblier person, but every now and then i still get flashes of anger when news of nsfs getting hurt or dying while serving hits my feed, all while our servicemen continue to be treated as the lowest life-form by society at large.

If you’d like to read the past years’ editions of the injury threads, I’ll link them here.

And before i leave, a certain minister once said our contributions cannot be measured in dollars and cents. I think that while that has some truth, it doesn’t change the fact that there is a very real cost that all of us incur, be it financial, physical or mental, and if NS really is the exceptional contribution its supposed to be, shouldnt our servicemen be treated in a way that materially and societally reflects that?
