It was an ok read for me, but mostly because I enjoyed the art rather than relating to the entirety of the sentiment.
I'm an artist and I find AI art evocative and illustrating things in a way that I wish that I could illustrate, but feel that is only because it comes from real human artists. I agree that it is a void in terms of difficulty to process, but there is still skill involved in both using search engines and describing something to an llm. A minute amount of skill, but still a skill.
I hate AI art because it is stealing from artists, not because it doesn't feel right. It can have a million iterations and only needs to get it right once to count as feeling right to me. The relationship between the content and their artists to the ultimate product is removed, this to me is the wrongfulness of claiming new art from it. It is just stealing in a more wind-about manor. This isn't like generating fractal art or something.
After all these years of corporations fucking up the literal social fabric and and how we communicate over IP law, for them to turn around and steal everything and just get a pass is an extra slap in face. Stealing only gets allowed2 one way in our society, and AI is just another example of that.
I'm honestly surprised to not see this take more from others and felt like i needed to mention it.
edit: emphasized that by making AI art taking skill, I only mean just a minute amount.
Honestly, there are many examples of tragedies that are quite large scale and intense like what the indigenous of the americas have experienced, or what many Palestinians are currrently experiencing. Another that comes to mind is the colonization of Haiti, and what they have gone through. The greatest widespread purveyor of tragedies is the industriously exploitative evolution of capitalism/colonialism IMO.
At the time, Emerson told police he was grieving a friend’s death, had taken psychedelic mushrooms around two days earlier, and had gone more than 40 hours without sleep.
as a fellow artist that posts on lemmy, I see your work here often and I love it! You really flow with your work and it shows! You have made me laugh on many occasions, and I hope to produce more and share with lemmy because of your work. :)
My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind's eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called "Faces of Death" and a movie called "Pink Flamingos". Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn't seem as bad as I remembered, but it's not a great scene to have stuck in your head...
Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.
whats crazy is that I distinctly remember when the Epstein shit dropped, Q went silent on it and it took a little bit of time and momentum on the case before they finally talked about it. That was something that I remember talking about with people during that time, and after a certain point many ppl assumed Q was on it the whole time or even had a part in uncovering it.
Good point! The word commodity isn't the best word to describe art, so maybe a better way is to just say that 'I think that the perceived value is on the rise, because of a human reaction to reject the capitalist's attempts to transform the collected stolen expressions of human artistic achievements into whatever meaning the wealthy desire without the need to pay those who made the "generated" art possible.'
please excuse my wordiness, I am procrastinating and got lost in this reply accidentally.
I have been playing this game my entire life on/off, and have the most hours in, but I have never beaten it. I came close 1 fucking time, and I will forever remember the one dumb mistake I made that lost it for me just on the cusp of victory.
I used to like that movie as a kid, but I've had a different perspective on it, and other films, since coming across this video about the "born sexy yesterday" trope
it's an older video, but still relevant and edited very well.
Fuck Luc Besson, and fuck his creations (I don't believe in separating the artist from the art).
"Read The Fucking Manual" (sometimes seen as "Read the Fscking Manual") I remember saying it back in the day when I was annoyed that the answer could be found in the documentation while someone is asking others what something means, how it works, or having a common problem.
I now see it as quite pretentious of a reply and I now don't reply if I can't also be helpful.
I feel that it should be mentioned that shrodinger was an evil pedo.
