I just do bless you or whatever people seem to prefer because people already hate atheists enough. Treat em how they wanna be treated, yanno
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 1 day ago:
Somehow even as a kid in America I always had a preference for the OED at my library. It just exuded this sense of supreme rightness to me.
Never occurred to me that normal grade school kids don’t all have a favourite dictionary. Ah well.

A quick word to anyone seeing this and thinking “oh that’s fine”, look into the Snowtown Massacres". That’s what it looks like when this kind of thing actually happens. Life isn’t a Tarantino film, those who accomplish their aims violently are generally very dumb.

- Comment on US | Trump says ‘there are methods’ for seeking third term in White House 2 days ago:
I give it 1 in 4 chances on the low end that he goes down sometime during this term of what a clinical sort of person might term “natural causes”, despite that nothing about his existence is natural.

It’s 2025 and the guy is talking about 2028 like he’s not going to be bug shit by then.

- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 5 days ago:
I think you’re barking up the right tree, but the way I’d put it is this: it gives people the ability to specifically imitate an aesthetic without ever engaging with the thinking that underlies that aesthetic. It’s almost instantly anti intellectual, in that way.
Ghibli’s art comes from a profound love for liveliness, wonder, nature, and beauty that also respects the pain endured by its subjects. People talk shit on Ghibli as “the Disney of anime” but it’s a backhanded compliment at worst because I think they’re obliquely referring to how well Miyazaki executes on those feelings.

Unspecified value judgment acknowledged, have a great day

I’m not ideologically opposed to genAI, it’s just that the people who own these tools don’t view them the way you do. They want to get rid of all paid work, and not in a Star Trekky “fully automated luxury gay space communism” way like we’d all prefer. They want infinite wealth and power concentrated to as great a degree as possible. Confining the discussion to mere art is fully insane, and I stand with Miyazaki.
To equivocate yet more, I have enjoyed some genAI content (doopiiidoo on YouTube is doing really unique stuff with it) but the other point I really need to drive home here is that no matter how good our tools get, nothing is ever going to beat hard work - at least when it comes to art.
I’m willing to cede that this tool is of some use as part of a toolkit, but this is like saying Volkswagens from the 40’s were pretty fun to drive. Yes, but…

That’ll do. I’ll take this L but I’m still with Miyazaki on this one. Art opinions on Lemmy always getting me into trouble.
- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 6 days ago:
Well, there’s a word for art that was made by someone using tools: art.
This has mainly not been what people use it for, and far more importantly such people aren’t even the target market. It’s exceedingly poor form to pretend otherwise.
- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 6 days ago:
I owe you anon-joke answer. It’s not just a matter of personal taste here. Art is fundamentally the study of choice. A product that entails no actual choices is not art, even if you have a salable product that happens to be pretty. All genAI lacks the underlying meanings that evoke thought.
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 6 days ago:
Hard to come up with non-joke suggestions without knowing the locale. Seattle? Un Bien. Las Vegas? The Double Down Saloon. San Francisco? Smitten. Portland? Powell’s books.
Generally? Grab a pebbled ice machine and turn the lights off on your way out.

I’m feeling safe unless you got any artists who managed not to fuck Elon Musk

I’ll take that L if you find me one professional artist who uses genAI and not ironically.
- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 6 days ago:
It’s striking isn’t it how the debate around generative AI is essentially drawn along the line that separates good taste from bad. To win the debate we’re going to need really good art.

It’s not federated, but something like BookStack could be an option for self-hosted collaboration.

I’m just talking crap. My most recent impression of the series was Fable: The Journey and that sucked shit through a fat old boba tea straw.
