@starakaj Oh I totally agree, and I think a utopian fiction author from the 1890’s or whatever would squeal with glee if he saw the kind of tech we access for free right now. But if we lived in the world you want and he imagined I would be so, SO good at MaxMSP right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Dylan Winter @computerfuneral]

@starakaj idk dog seems like it's just gonna exacerbate everything people already dislike about artistic production ~under capitalism~ and I see no real upside here. Anyway loved your MaxMSP tutorials from like 14 years ago, always made me smile despite the fact I still suck at Max

@starakaj Adding AI into the mix hurts from both ends, in that only the rich will be able to pursue the arts once its no longer a viable source of income, and the increasing size of that gap will only push more people into soothing themselves by doing Highly Advanced Cocomellon via prompts

Starting to believe that there’s a people-I-respect to people-I-do-not-respect pipeline

Last week professional game developers were making fun of @levelsio's lack of experience doing games.

Meanwhile he was making bank and they were getting fired 🙃

@JimDMiller Why?

@matdryhurst @Merzmensch @hollyherndon Mat I respect you a little too much and genuinely believe you’re too smart to get away with playing this dumb.

Anyone who knows who you are knows that you’ve heard and ignored these arguments a thousand times, and I’m just not interested in playing bad-faith footsie with you.

@Merzmensch @matdryhurst @hollyherndon Thinking that people’s complaints about AI “stealing” starts and ends with copyright infringement is willfully obtuse ~at best~

[Dylan Winter @computerfuneral]

@matdryhurst @Merzmensch @hollyherndon After years of hearing the shock and rage of artists who discover that their hard work has been co-opted to train AI without their consent you now arrive with a dataset whose main selling point is that it requires no consent at all. It is more clearly legal but no less unethical.

[Dylan Winter @computerfuneral]

@matdryhurst @Merzmensch @hollyherndon Do you seriously believe that people citing copyright against art being used in AI training are doing so because they’re volunteer hall monitors and just really love following rules, or is there perhaps a moral hazard here you’re absolutely desperate to ignore for some reason

Oh. Oh no.

The correct answer is “screen shot it and use it as cynical engagement bait,” hope this helps 👍
