  • exist in part to belittle actual artists for the sake of boosting the treat printers (or the treat printer prompters) to artist status

    that’s what’s so insane to me. for the longest time, STEM folk were all about ‘artists aren’t worth respecting’ ‘oh arts degree? just put the fries in the bag lmao’

    then suddenly AI art comes about and then it’s ‘look at my art! AI makes better art than anyone and it’s imperative we dump everything into it! you must respect my AI art! you must treat me like an artiste’

    and now that it’s clear it’s a grift, it’s ‘art is dead, we will never beat AI, artists are back to not worth respecting’

    once again, tourists visiting every creative medium they can to try and find fresh rubes for their machine


  • you say in your other comment that people are defending IP hoarding by defending people on the small scale, but right here you do the exact same thing in reverse - using the morality of piracy on the large scale in order to win an argument grounded in the small scale

    people are saying ‘small artists that eke by are getting screwed out of compensation for their labour’ and you’re chiming in with ‘why are you trying to stop me from pirating from Marvel?’

    you’re either purposefully being obtuse about this, or you genuinely are so focused on validating your own piracy that you’re talking right past the conversation entirely


  • Unfortunately I think that’s a bit of a liberal argument. It ascribes some ineffable quality to human creativity that AI cannot replicate.

    every single time the AI argument comes down to this. “oh you just don’t trust AI cos youre a rube who believes in a soul” no motherfucker I’m just not some fucking anti-intellectual who has decided, apropros of NO research into neuroscience, that I know how the brain works and it MUST be analogous to something algorithm based machines can understand

    you genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about, and you have to take so many intellectual shortcuts to derive your position that you are not worth taking seriously













  • i’m sorry but maybe i’m not understanding - I’m not in any way defending carnism, hell im not even trying to defend the guy but the original commenter came out the gate about ‘nuggies’ and not digesting and chewing food and all i said is that some people have problems chewing or digesting food, which is why they might not chew or they might go for something without bones. As someone who works in healthcare and in aged care, i just thought it was worth piping up and saying that. They then responded to me, implying that I’m trying to call them ableist (which i never did in my first comment, so they’re jacketing me - i am literally just trying to make sure all angles are fairly considered) and that I’m trying to insinuate they’re a ‘bad comrade’ and then tying this to me defending carnism, which again I am not. and again i am not trying to defend this guy in any way. i get it if I misunderstood something here, but this genuinely feels like its coming at me for something im not trying to imply at all, but if I’m missing something I’m sorry

    edited to add: the reason the report says ‘doubling down on ableism’ is because i never brought up ableism, they did, and then in the next sentence dismissed me for calling them ableist, which again I never did, which seems to imply to me that they don’t care about ableism. maybe I’m wrong, I’d be willing to accept that, but again i never pulled any of these accusations first.




  • the intelligence services had listened into a call two months ago between the individual and a Russian intelligence services handler in which the suspect had stated that “the French are going to have an opening ceremony like there has never been before”.

    he then went on to say that the opening ceremony was ‘going to be the bomb’, and that ‘the audience’s minds would be blown’, and when pressed further he said that he heard that the French were going to have ‘the biggest blowout in history’, all clear signs of terrorist intent
