How does perpetuation of stereotypes fix society?
What is wrong with stereotypes? Snakes are, at times, quite dangerous. Granted, not all snakes, but in terms of being risk-averse, and unaware of which snakes are quite possibly deadly, am I not, at least in my current ignorant state, best served to avoid all snakes? Feel free to substitute "snakes" with any existing stereotype. I personally am a fan of "people who eat pizza with pineapple".

Now that this is working it's very cool. The background removal is a little intense, it keeps cutting off people's hair: https://replicate.delivery/pbxt/EKWIccdjCTrcEdJYFN1kxo9fF5JY... Some of these are extremely good, I hope you add some kind of curated "best of" gallary at some point.
Let me know if you have any feedback or feature ideas.
It produces some "interesting" results. I put in "robber" expecting that one emoji everybody thinks exists but doesnt, and I got a black guy with a white beanie/hat. Apart from that it produces insanely convincing results. I believe people would not bat an eye if they'd get added in an update to iOS!
Drug dealer, car thief, car jacker, drive-by-shooter, murderer...all of those things and many other crime related terms will give you a black person. Quite a shit thing to be happening.

Elixir is a killer language and tool. It's considered esoteric these days but I think more and more folks are going to wake up to the inherent beauty of the Erlang BEAM and OTP applications pretty soon here.
Is Elixir really considered esoteric? There’s some pretty big businesses running on it.
