Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.

I think part of the answer is that this is actually the content America C wants, but no one would make it for them. Even our worst slop, up til now, has been made by artists, or aspiring artists! That biases the output towards what artists, as a group, want to make.

Even the worst comic book movie still contains somewhere in it the sensibilities of hundreds or thousands of people who enjoy making art. Even the worst corporate dreck still is made by people who *assume* certain conventions of narrative art. It would never even *occur* to them to make something like this.

The AI slop answers the question of “what would art look like without artists?” and one of the answers is that it would look like the most hideous, manipulative, garish, spiritually-abject swill you could imagine, because that’s actually what a good chunk of people want and have been denied because artists would resent making it too much.

The whole history of the blockbuster or the sitcom, etc, is to some extent a negotiation between these forces—the sensibilities of artists, chained to the sensibilities of moron consumers. We could never get the full realization of what the dumbest, most vulgar people in the world wanted to watch until now, because the artists still pulled things in their direction, even if only a bit.

Reality TV was probably the closest we’ve come to seeing what “art without artists” would look like, but even then it wasn’t fully realized. Remember that Nathan Fielder used to be a reality tv producer—there are still real artists embedded in the process, even there.

But now with AI, we can remove the constraints of taste, quality, authenticity, meaning, and humanity that artists tend to try to impose even on their most cynical projects. Because they’re people who care about art, who want to make art. They can’t help but have a perspective, a sensibility, an aesthetic—taste. Even if it’s bad taste. AI is showing us the world of no taste, no sensibility, no perspective, just brute manipulation of the senses. It’s vile.

Proud to see design going so far. Proud to see so many designers winning. Ly!

[Mino Gallawatta @minogwt]

@disco_lu The "Acceptability" should be determined based on a component specific level imo. Ex : in a component without many states overriding color might be okay, but if you change the color of a button the hover, active effects will be meaningless.

We’re never going there. Creativity is made, not generated.

I firmly believe as a professional computer toucher that there is a such thing as "computer mana". if you haven't earned the computer's respect you'll end up with all sorts of weird issues which will disappear the second that someone with high computer mana tries fixing it

I don't understand when people veer to the right just because they find left wing people very annoying. I find left wing people very annoying and I'm still left wing

The new @figma requirement for all drafts being moved to a team is the most demeaning and careless move they could have made for agencies/firms/freelancers that use their software

[Mino Gallawatta @minogwt]

@mrjeremyblaze @figma Every software company reaches a point where they no longer understand the people who use their product. Unfortunately Figma seems to have reached this point as well

The Adobefication of Figma

[Figma @figma]

We’re rolling out a change to drafts if you’re on a Starter or Pro team

Things you should know:
→ You’ll be asked to move your drafts into a team of your choosing
→ When you move your drafts to a team, they will still be private
→ For personal work, you can create a (free) Starter team and move your drafts there

[Mino Gallawatta @minogwt]

@figma This will absolutely lead to limiting the number of free drafts for the free plan. Time to look for alternative options designers.
