If you’re willing to write it off, then I’d say you’re saying your position is equally dismissed. So cool, it’s great to say we can ignore you and dismiss your edgelord take, something I fully intend to do.

Fft, like you’re an expert, you think artists use AI and you can’t draw. Whatever bud go pretend you know what you’re talking about I’m sure it’ll impress someone who’s gullible.

TLDR: So morality doesn’t exist, killing is ok, the way we teach morality to people is too simple, only physical reality matters, and actually there is a morality it’s kind of going along with a good nature balance and it’s sorta nuanced? Gotta feel it in your gut ya know? Anyway I haven’t researched any philosophy or study of ethics.

Oh man that’ll be rough, a lot of tech we have is because we have tech from the past. So it’ll be kinda like a Dr Stone situation but without the obnoxious main character.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 1 day ago:
I think a lot of this hinges on what the one million humans are like. You said in another comment you were thinking of them to be mind blanked, but wasn’t sure.
So do these people have their memories? Are they from our earth? Do I get to pick and choose who I can take there? Are they clones or the original?
This can really change what the answer would be and how someone would go about answering your question.

Dude, I live within walking distance of like, three galleries, including one I’ve sold at.
You’re kind of an idiot and an ass, so maybe pull your head out sometime, you’ll have fun.

Prove to me artists use AI because all the artists I know absolutely loathe it and refuse to touch it. You’re in denial and also refusing to answer my questions, so let me ask you a different one.
Why do you like AI so much to defend it? Why do you think artists use AI when so many are saying otherwise?
- Comment on And then I'll sell my AI, so everyone can make drawings - EVERYONE can be an artist! And when everyone's an artist... no one will be 4 days ago:
Artists don’t use AI at all bud. And it certainly doesn’t help you in any professional capacity.
So answer me, why are you trying to die on this hill? Why are you so bitter about the art world and why do you think you can’t draw?

Oh child you didn’t have to say those things for them to be obvious. How exactly do you think ai is helping the art world, and also, you know, answer the other questions.

Ok so how about we cut to the quick of it.
Why do you feel so bitter about the art world?
Why do you think ai would actually help people in the art world?
Why do you feel like the people you’re talking to are less informed about this subject than you?
Why do you feel like you can’t make art?

Well it’s pretty simple, a child would understand it. I can explain it to you if you’re having trouble.
Making art puts you in the art world. It’s very easy to get what you need to make art. Arguing that someone isn’t from the art world is pretty silly when you think about it. AI generated images aren’t art. So they don’t even help you get into the art world. Especially because it’s very, very easy to get started making art, it’s pretty silly to argue that AI is helping you.
I know that was a lot, so if you need to think about it, you can come back to me when you’re really, really ready.

Nah. There’s more choice and thought put into a child’s scrawling than any ai generated image.

Yeah, pretty much. You should try it, it’s pretty easy.

Oh, I’m sorry, who’s going around staking the pencils? Are they too expensive for you? Send me your address and I’ll ship you 100 of them and about 50 brushes I don’t use. Did someone take away your crayons as a kid and you never got over it? Did you not have the brain power to figure out how to poke at the mud with a stick?
Tell me, where is this barrier for you to pick up anything that makes a mark on something and then go make a mark on something? Who’s keeping you from drawing?

Except corporate art also has human elements behind it that change. Look at global village coffeehouse vs alegria. Having ai churn out all clip art and corporate art will make it stagnate and become even more soulless.

- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 3 weeks ago:
I feel like the word propaganda gets a little misused. There’s so much negativity attached to it, but propaganda at it’s core is media that tries to persuade someone. So media trying to undo misinformation about COVID is also propaganda.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
You are suffering from several fallacies.
- “Unless you can be the best, it’s not worth trying”
Fortunately, the world doesn’t operate this way. There are people who are mediocre, and sometimes poor, at playing football professionally or other professions. Your line of thinking would lead to only one person playing football at a time, the person who is the best at it, and everyone else should give up.
- “Meritocracy is real and the only determining factor of success”
While meritocracy is a nice thought, that the best inevitably rise to the top, it’s not necessarily true. Just as there’s circumstances that keep talent from succeeding, like financial background, biases against people, and luck, those things also can lift up the less talented. There’s many celebrities that aren’t as talented at acting as someone stuck in a small town.
- “I trust OP’s assessment”
As far as you know, op could be wrong. Maybe the kid plays great and OP is too critical, you don’t know. This could be a critical mistake on OP’s end, and making the kid give up doesn’t help regardless.
- “hard work doesn’t mean success, innate ability is the only thing that matters”
If this were true, no one would need to practice anything. You said Mozart succeeded because of his mentoring, but then argue for people having lack of natural talent leading to failure.
- “my back story is relevant”
It was also tempting to throw in the argument of verbosity. But your shoulder injury, or that some people are incapable of physically doing things, isn’t relevant. The kid is physically capable of playing football. It’s a false equivalence.
- “the kid will have the same level of ability at 16 forever”
You presume that this kid will only have the ability he is at, and that even with training, won’t get better. This ties into your belief in natural talent a bit, but it’s still pretty foolish to assume professional football players play at the level they did at 16, so it’s also foolish to assume that 16 is where this kid will peak.
- “the kid achieving the dream is the most important thing here”
This is where you missed the the bigger picture. There’s more on the line than just success at football, there’s a whole relationship at stake, and a kid’s mental and emotional health.
So that all said, look at it this way. There’s four scenarios that could’ve taken place, with four factors. Kid gets encouraged, let’s shorthand that to E. Kid gets discouraged, D. Kid succeeds at professional football, S. Kid fails at professional football, F.
ES is obviously the best. Kid gets support, becomes professional football player, everyone’s happy.
EF is disappointing, but salvageable. The kid gets the attitude of not giving up and at least Dad has his back. Maybe he tries something else after not making the cut, and has a great career at something he’s able to do, but at least he tried. He’s not going to be able to try forever, but he can at least try something new with a solid foundation.
DS is a tragic hero. Kid gets there but doesn’t have a great relationship with Dad. Success is tainted by bitterness, and every win is to prove Dad wrong. Doesn’t have a great relationship with Dad, and probably has a lasting issue because of it.
DF is the worst possible outcome, and at this point it’s the most likely. Kid has an even worse issue with Dad, dreams are crushed, and he grows up bitter and resentful. He’s taught to not try for anything he’s interested in, and lives a life of miserable mediocrity.
It’s my opinion that it’s better for parents to encourage their children in their dreams, because the success rate is probably higher and at the very least they get the support they need to try something different. It’s almost never a great idea to discourage a child because that leads to resentment and lethargy.
You aren’t saving anyone by telling them to give up. That’s a decision they should make on their own. This is even more true for a child who is still developing who they are and how they see the world.

How? You’re saying it’s better to tell your kid their dreams suck and they shouldn’t try? What a great parenting strategy.

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don’t expect him to thank our forgive you.
He’s right, you don’t believe in him, and if he’s not great at football even though he’s living with a pro, that shows me how little you value him. He could be great but what are you doing to help him get there besides crushing his dreams?
If you want to salvage this relationship at all you need to apologize and do everything you can to support him. Training, encouragement, the works.
It’s better that he tries to achieve his dream and have to do something else than to have it crushed out of him by his own father.

You’re ignorant of the world around you to a degree that must take quite a bit of mental effort. The mental gymnastics you’re constantly doing must be a strain. If you honestly think that no one has ever been arrested nor killed by the police for doing things legally you’re delusional.

I don’t owe you shit for answers, especially if you’re already going to act like I’m making this up. You’re coming out the gate not taking me seriously so why should I give you any respect, much less enough respect to answer your questions? Go fuck yourself.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 5 weeks ago:
Well, I hope you die in a fire. I’ve got real people who are in real danger, danger I see in person and not just as a hypothetical, and it’s bullshit that you’re trying to pretend it’s some sort of delusion. I’ve had to deal with literal Nazis threatening to shoot people and you’re trying to play any reaction to that as some media based trickery? Eat shit.
