@1ongsword you ignore thousands of variables that challenge the idea this becomes the next industrial revolution, just because vcs wishcast on agi emerging doesn’t mean this slop maintains traction. they will move on to the next grift
@1ongsword yes they failed because the people with money killed them. trotting out the extremely tired “its just a tool” and “its inevitable” is reductivism at its finest. try supporting even one of your claims!

@1ongsword can it be used for cheap previz, or dnd campaigns, or some shortcut? of course, but the juice aint worth the squeeze given the externalities we covered. it’s like digital blood money. no one needs it and it will drag real artists down.
@1ongsword if you want to argue that its actually useful go ahead but acknowledging its primarily a tool for capital to devalue humans and human made art but it has the potential to be useful bc you know an artist who uses it isnt compelling and is in fact really stupid and pedantic
@1ongsword@alecrobbins “i know an artist who uses it in a not that bad way” ok? that doesn’t negate the thesis that this is a race to the bottom primarily in service to capital at the expense of real artists who generated the fuel for this rotten slop machine.
At the hotel in Frankfurt there was a publishing convention and every room was taken, parties all night. I didn’t know there were so many book publishers in the world. I was trying to find Crystal Lake Publishing so I could congratulate them on publishing The Great God Pan, one of my favorite books. I thought they might be interested in some of my stories. Unfortunately it was too crowded and I never did find them.
@ThomasBelajonas@SophiaLee42@fawfulfan ok so if you truly dress well then you know how horrible most luxury products are, nearly all the good denim is made in japan now, actually good quality is in the hands of small makers, and the price is extremely high bc it costs a lot of make. theres no virtue in flushing $$ imo
@ThomasBelajonas @VosPilled oh god, let go of your pearls. heaven forbid anyone do anything practical in this life and re use something instead of wearing it for a few months and sending off to africa

@CatSoccer1@AugustJPollak@cushbomb I just interpreted it as being against the centrist corporate dems leading the party who oppose meaningful progressive reform, but the argument easily extends more broadly into economics and class etc
