Do you know, Poole...that you and I are about to place ourselves in a position of some peril?

If you want to attack feminism, and I mean the kind buried deep in the culture zeitgeist, it's very simple - attack the aesthetics of the age. You will not only offend the feminists, you'll also offend the conservative ones to.

For example:

Tell women that mirror selfies in public restrooms are tacky and weird.

Then add bikinis, wearing expensive clothing, revealing cleavage, deliberately short haircuts, excessive tattoos, multiple piercings, lavish make-up, exorbitant, luxurious traveling, expensive dining, on and on and on... because it's all about attention, signaling status/wealth to other women, and deliberately, publicly denying the created order and Christ-exalting beauty.

You call out any of those things, you will be dragged into the streets then ratio'd for attacking the status quo. I can hear the comments now...

And so much of this anti-feminine aesthetic is the result of disobeying God. The reason Paul writes, "Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness," is because women are tempted to do the opposite of what Paul teaches. It is ingrained in women to seek attention wrongly and become vain.

Aesthetics doesn't just exist in a vacuum, it's the physical manifestation of belief.

@JoshDaws This was wind in my sails today. It's only a matter of time before no one cares about the means of making art with AI, but what the quality of the output becomes.

[J-Poe @birdsofaccord]

This is the way.

@CalebMPowers Now that we're all looking at them together, this list is so cringe... it's like a testament to mediocrity or not understanding story at all.

But I did like the first two seasons of Mando, and I loved Andor (I still can't believe it got made).

Even small sex differences in personality and cognition, when taken together, make it possible to distinguish between men and women with high accuracy.
It has repeatedly been shown that most psychological sex differences are small, with largely overlapping distributions. This study examined whether multiple small sex differences—across cognitive performance, personality traits, and interests—can collectively distinguish between males and females and predict real-life outcomes. Participants (n=2767) completed online tests and questionnaires that assessed cognitive performance, personality, and interest in people and in things.
Results showed sex differences across 13 tasks and questionnaires in the expected directions. Importantly, when combined, these measures correctly predicted whether an individual was male or female in 80% of cases. We found reliable sex differences in all tested domains, with the majority being small, two of medium magnitude (spatial abilities), and one large effect size (interest in things).
Can an 80% classification accuracy in predicting an individual’s sex be considered high? For context, structural MRI scans—when controlling for head size—achieve about 60% accuracy. This suggests that our result is relatively strong. Importantly, even after excluding the three tasks with the largest observed sex differences (i.e., interest in things, mental rotation, and line angle judgment), the model maintained a relatively high classification accuracy of 71%.
This underscores the notion that many small differences can collectively create a large effect. Could the accuracy be improved further? Yes. For instance, predictors that are strongly and directly tied to sex, such as sexual attraction (i.e., the sex one is attracted to) or body morphology), could substantially improve predictive accuracy.
These findings demonstrate how multiple small individual differences can collectively yield substantial predictive power, offering new insight into the underpinnings of gender differences in society. Specifically, we found that these psychological characteristics were meaningfully associated with the degree of gender segregation in the individual’s occupational choices.

@shortmagsmle Blows my mind people complain about YouTube. It's the best it's ever been. I've been recommended videos I never would've found because of their algorithm. They're giving a lot of small creators the time of day. And it's actually good content! Just get Premium and you're set.

This is another reason why you don't kowtow to the mob. They're not even real.

Great post.

[Cristóbal Valenzuela @c_valenzuelab]

These judgments are a solid example of cultural essentialism. iow, the belief that there is a fixed essence of "real cinema" or "true art"

Every generation internalizes the standards of its artistic community and then experiences those standards as self evidently correct rather than socially learned.

Basically:

- A group of people/artists develops certain conventions, eg: "good films have three act structures","cinema should be shot on film", "art should be representational", "animation should only be done with certain software" . often as a way of rebelling against the prevailing system
- These conventions prove useful in some contexts
- Over time, people forget that they were choices made by particular humans in particular historical circumstances

Opinions are not facts. Don’t mistake accumulated traditions and conventions for laws of nature

@StartWaiting @IMAO_ I'm not particularly interested in his political/personal views. It's the argument that he makes for AI art that I think is helpful.

@IMAO_ What is apparent is how many critics do not understand the topic of AI at all. Everyone needs to watch In Defense of AI Art on YT before making an argument.

@DougTenNapel They ought to go real Americana and get some lesser known American artists.

An AI artist needs to learn making AI stuff is not the same as making a sculpture and painting.

I have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon. I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words.

My intent was to showcase artists, both new and seasoned, both inside and outside the studios, driving this new tech.

My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me. I will try harder.
