I'm a bleeding heart conservative, artist and philosopher, and I'm either really kind or a straight up dick depending on how much of an asshole you seem to be.
I am once again inviting anyone who wants to be an #artist to look at "Drawing on the right side of the brain". Your skill is not what holds you back, you are.
@andreintg@Stretchedwiener Art is a human experience, not a commodity, and not machine-reproducible. I recognize that you are closer to me than you are to them, but you are the one that placed yourself on their side of the line.
There will continue to be places for those that choose humans.
@timsoret do you believe calling yourself a humanist should give you a particular opinion over how we are using AI to supplant everything that makes us human through sacrificing those things to it and its corporate owners?
@Stretchedwiener@andreintg I guess their argument is
"If damaging his career caused him to redirect to a new product, then damaging everyone will therefore simply cause other products from the people we ruin"
@BenjaminPDixon Well yeah, the point of AI is to destroy the concept of truth, let the tech billionaires control all knowledge and sell it per token, and create a permanent underclass of uneducated and disenfranchised surplus labor.
@AwesomEmergency Effectively, they have infinite money at that level. There's so many things to borrow against and leverage, assets to purchase on borrowed money just to leverage or sell or sell to a shell company, abuse interest rates, reinvest, avoid taxes, borrow against untaxed assets, repeat
Wait does he agree with my headcanon??? That absolutely rocks. To me, the backrooms have always been a sentient space just mindlessly copying things until the variation and sprawl just fail to maintain any consistency. Where maybe it doesn't even perceive any of us at all.
The backrooms being something that takes from existing things, doesn't understand any of it, then feeds itself with the same thing over and over until it all starts to become unstable with that yellow tint? You couldn't make a better analogy for ai if you wanted to 😭
