You mean they didn’t brick it back up when they discovered it was a Renoir?
Missed opportunity IMO. It was where it belongs.
You know how Anthropic has banned being cruel to its models? I wonder if the definition includes asking it to generate images in the style of Renoir…

(ETA: Flagged, haha really? Come on. It’s a well-known running joke.)
I had no idea this was a thing, but I made a similar joke about Renoir last month when the paintings were stolen, so I guess I belong in this club.

Random fact: one of the socialist leaders of the Paris Commune saved Renoir's life.

Hitler probably helped an old lady cross the street once too. Terrible people or those supporting authoritarian ideologies can still do nice things. They pet dogs and eat ice cream too.

> Anyone trying to tell you different is probably a fascist or communist.
are you serious and it is your actual position or is it also a joke?
It’s an actual position. These kinds of ideologies hate “the good life” and consider such paintings either decadent (fascists) or supportive of the bourgeoisie (communists).

Fascists, communists, art critics, and people who can actually paint women’s faces.
