when non-US folks share things that are supposed to he funny and/or relatable, we usually convert our currencies to dollars as most people know how much that’s worth roughly
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 weeks ago:
the only pause it gives me is when i notice nonsensical details blending into each other, the only emotion it moves in me is then disgust and foolishness as i just spent time on slop that was not an expression of something, but an intentionless imitation of one. and it sure as hell doesn’t make me self reflect as it manages to be both shallow and hollow
it’s not AI “art” itself that sparked a conversation, no singular piece stands out as something people talk about (a piece that is more than just a more seamless version of the pervious attempts, something memorable even after it stops being the best at imitation). The talk is not about AI “art” itself it’s about the idea of it. Nobody points to a single thing AI made and claims that is proof it’s not art, because it’s not individual pieces that “make us think” – it’s the concept of an intentionless thing being fed human art and then making misshapen copies of it at the whims of people who can’t be bothered to engage with art at all.
sure it does make you thing, but only if you - knowingly or not - treat the entire emergence of AI slop as a kind of performance art itself, any individual piece of slop is not the topic here

i’m reading enough into your comment. i literally explained why that wouldn’t change much
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 weeks ago:
never mind a canvas, if the guy cared in the slightest about the “art” AI made he’d at least print it on poster paper
this experiment shows how even the “artists” just do not care about those images, and why would they? why would any of us care?
this shows exactly the core of the issue - every piece of art made by a human, no matter how good or bad (whatever that means), is a reflection of the artist. Sometimes they pour their entire soul into a piece, sometimes just a small part of them, but it’s always a reflection of them. So the artist will care about what they’ve made because it’s their own self, in a way. And others will care about it too, because we crave to get to know others, understand them, see the world how they see it - and art allows us to glimpse just that.
AI slop elicits none of those emotions, there is no artist to care about, no reflection of the self, mo worldview to glimpse, no way of caring about it, nothing – even if it was you who wrote the prompt, you just can’t bring yourself to give a shit
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 weeks ago:
wow, it seems like it’s printed on printer quality paper. really amplifies how those who use AI for “art” don’t give a flying fuck about art

fair enough

because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me
- Comment on Fictional 4 weeks ago:
they do indeed, and us humans invented ways to describe them with maths
- Comment on Fictional 4 weeks ago:
natural laws of the universe can be described with our maths. but i’m pretty sure the universe didn’t go “ah yes, 1+2=3 i can work with that! let there be light”.
the numbers, the symbols, the equations - they’re all human made, an attempt to describe things in a way that can be understood by us. but is this how they are? of course not. no wave or particle would describe itself the way we describe them, in fact they wouldn’t describe themselves at all - they simply are

i’m a fan of 13 months 28 days each & would love to see more of base 20 around tbf, for some reason base 20 feels cozy to me
- Comment on Fictional 4 weeks ago:
proton masses are rather small - inconvenient
the distance light travels at a certain time - then it’ll just be based on our artificial units of time
cesium oscillation i don’t know much about but from what i quickly read it’s also about keeping time, 1s to be precise, which is still an arbitrary unit
- Comment on Fictional 4 weeks ago:
c is pretty round (universal symbol for the speed of light)
aside from that, nothing. as science and maths are mere attempts at describing the universe all our units are arbitrary, decided to be the way they are purely because you just need to pick something to be your reference point.
at no point has a true non-artificial unit emerged, there is no constant size of anything that could aid in that (one contestant for that title could be the planck lenght but that’ss just incredibly inconvenient to use. "honey could you pelase move the couch 6,25 × 1034 planck lengths to the left? [1m])

god no do not bring back Gros Michels, artificial banana flavour is bleh
i suppose soon we’ll have to compromise and start liking (or not) a new banana flavour though, if that banana disease gets to the current version

bro, if we could edit the genes of foods to make them grow into huge sizes, i think we would hear from some scientific source that that’s now a possibility
- Comment on Carrot 5 weeks ago:
to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -
if you get something into your bum fully, it’s very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you’re an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you’re penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in
- Comment on Carrot 5 weeks ago:
honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp
what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly

- Comment on How will YOU choose 5 weeks ago:
on one hand if you take the character of jesus as an individual with opinions he was very based
but on the other hand in the context of the bible - he is the incarnation-ish-thingy of the one who created and perpetuates a binary system of good and evil, and as a narcissistic judge, jury, and executioner to him being “good” includes in major part worshipping him and only him. which is not very based
so i pick hell out of spite
- Comment on Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? 5 weeks ago:
in a way i think yes. in the dark ages at least any insane cults and ideas couldn’t spread far. if your village or castle happened to have dark ages version of ben shapiro then his words aren’t going to go far (unless they infected the local ruler as well, and even then it’d still be contained within your area, or your country at worst). If you were on the receiving end of insanity you could always just kind of– pack up and move to another village, walk 30km away and you’re like a new man! Worst case scenario find your way to a port, fuck off to another country - passports or border control did not exist, passage was often granted for free to those able bodied that joined the crew for the voyage.
obviously i’m romanticising here a bit, modern medicine and technology makes day to day life easier. but it also makes other things much harder. our privacy is going extinct at an alarming rate, freedom of movement across borders belongs to distant memories of our great grandparents, (unless you’re french) your protests will be ignored and/or vilified, and if you dare care about other humans and speak up about it you can be labelled as a terrorist in some places
i do truly hope that those years of unrest aren’t here to stay…
