If you haven't yet read Ted Chiang's essay on generative AI and art, get on it. For my money, it's one of the best things written on AI, period—it gets to the heart of what's so dismaying about AI in a single haunting sentence:

"It reduces the amount of intention in the world."

“TV is too woke now!” Sir, we grew up with a television show where a racially diverse group of kids summon a man with green hair to fight climate change

Clearing out America's elite tier by doing MeToo but for plagiarism would be a deeply funny cultural moment and I would be all for it.

@boobaloof Omg I’m still so salty over that line. Person that wrote that line, come out, I just want to talk.

we need to drop this whole edgy mean heartless persona that our generation has going on. there is so much evil in the world. it’s so cool to care. it’s so cool to love others. it’s so cool to educate others. u can love people for no reason. u can be nice to people for no reason.

can we pretend we are 12 again ?? so we can start drawing fan art for each other more and do more art trades again and reply to each other’s posts with things like “OMG THIS IS AWESOME !! <333” and draw lots of silly cringy little art that tends to our soul instead of engagement

It's so funny that AI art folks are like "my prompts are very finely crafted, they are my art" and then the prompts are like "photorealistic, insane quality, extremely detailed, masterpiece, professionally color graded, viral on Artstation, viral on Twitter, viral photo"

Some of the clearest/most meaningful pushback on the framing of Palestinians as literal Nazis and politicians’ appalling misuse of the Holocaust to justify genocide comes from Jewish Israeli scholars. I have to assume this garners significant personal attack. Yet they persist.
