It’s not limited to direct reproduction of one’s own genes. Keep in mind that we live in a society. Contributing to that society means helping others of our species (with almost the same genes) pass their genes on. Just being kind to others is already great. You’re valid.

Fair point, but despite how we as a society treat artists, I still think that the underlying impulse to do art is an attempt to capture the interest and appreciation of others, building social bonds. Rarely is art made without a tought of presenting it to others. This is how art seems to happen with every other species on earth that does it.

Perhaps not with conscious intent. I suppose even staying alive and contributing to a society still means that you help your relatives pass their genes on. Even gay penguins do this when they adopt an orphaned egg.

If you really boil it down, all that any species ever does is in some way an attempt to propagate its genes. We aren’t any different either. The artistic spark that got Davinci to paint the Mona Lisa was there due to such behaviour being an evolutionarily beneficial trait (being good at art increases the social standing of a person and thus increases their chances of reproduction). I don’t want to sound cynical about this because I’m not. That’s just life. It really doesn’t matter. The painting is still beautiful.

I think someone is just utterly clueless about how any of this works, and decided to wipe the slate clean and start again.

Or maybe they just left it in a cold place for a while. Strong spirits freeze at around -27°C and Jaegermeister (35%) freezes at around -19°C.

I hate ai slop with a burning passion. This channel on the other hand is actual ai art.

I think a good old shitass paint illustration would be preferable. The message itself is good enough to deserve at least that.

Beautiful.
Identity is just something our brains invent to better make sense of the world. It doesn’t exist as anything other than a thought. You are the universe and the universe is me. The only thing that goes away when anything “dies”, is the illusiory and self-imposed border between the “individual” and the rest of it all.

Humans can already fit through way too small holes.
A wiki article about a particularly gory diving bell incident. No graphic images, but still not exactly light reading: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin#Diving_bell_…

I mean, Oppenheimer at least seemed to regret what he did. Teller on the other hand was completely remorseless and unhinged.

A person can be rich in many ways. A coral reef is rich in biodiversity etc.
The rich refers to the group of people who are financially rich to an obscene extent.
