100 percent! And yet I'm closer than I ever was before to expressing the sheer detail, color, beauty, complexity, and awe present in my head every night when I lucid dream. My mind is an artist, and before it was not expressible. It's much closer now. And that is incredible.
But AI will be an art that will also be used for this. Like painting, photography, digital design, drawing, writing, sculpture, knitting, on and on.
absolutely you should take credit as an artist for this. It's not drawing, it's not painting, but it IS an art. Just a new kind, with a new name. But own it.
It doesn't commoditize humans... it commoditizes art. I think as for prefering a word with financially successful artists, 1) I think they said the same about threshers, weavers, lace makers once. 2) the people who would've done those jobs are now building other things, adding to the social infrastructure that carries onward onto more advanced things and advanced arts. And the financial success is just now available to more humans, not just ones who honed their skills. the weird thing is, all this stuff is going to apply to doctors soon, which is insane. that doctors, who spend a decade studying, will be made obsolete is just.... damn.
amazing gems always emerge from so much noise and junk. Michelangelo, Da Vinci, etc. emerged from a time of large amounts of junk. But what remains over time? The gems. Same for architecture. We talk about amazing architecture used to be made but now it's not. Nah. Amazing architecture was surrounded by hovels and slums and shacks. But what remained? The gems. I think the outlook is very good and hopeful for what remains.
Even better, remember when Elizabeth Warren was complaining that a bunch of retired intelligence and government officials were helping bitcoin and crypto, and she was all pissy about that?
Annnnnnd I'm adding this to my list of reasons I keep wondering if Pleblab is a 3-letter agency recuritment facade/informant hub.
Just wait till you get to the story about men's decapitated heads in jars, women judging whether they get a new body or get encased in cement.
I definitely could not have thought that up..... i'm still disturbed.
potential issues that have no solution yet and need people who can't see the problem to see and start thinking of solutions... among other things
irrelevant. he knew what he was talking about. and the shit done to him, the playbook used to take advantage of him and subsequently isolate him, was, in my opinion/observation, done to a decent number of people.
I also have an "I should have left" moment at a startup. It was a month in, when one of the folks with influence told me "I enjoy pitting people against each other." No lies were detected in this statement.
Sorry, did you not read the bit about me opposing these things? Maybe try rereading it a little more carefully.
Oh. You're one of the "hate ourselves" folks. I don't have time for that.
It's never "The West". It's "This group of people in the west" while others in the west have opposed them. I will not take credit for all of the bad things when I have not done them and I and others I know have opposed it. We are also the west.
Cultural genocide is not genocide if people choose to adopt the stuff of the other culture. Much of the western culture is not "imposed" on others, it's adopted by individuals who enjoy it. Even in muslim countries who claim it's imposed, a lot of the adoption of western culture is from individuals who just enjoy it and want to emulate it and live it. That's not genocide.
Anyway.
This is not a degrading society;

There's something in what you just said; I have not experienced it. People and countries that have experienced such defeat and enslavement are usually hegemonic. Sure, it's more comfortable. But it's weaker.
The rise of individualism gives power for individuals to contribute. Collective societies tend to fall behind. That's what happens when you trample the rights of individuals.
There's an excellent book called "The Geography of Genius". One of the points is that much of the things you mention are exactly the environment in which geniuses such as Mozart or Beethoven, Socrates, etc etc are forged in. These environments push humanity forward. Especially the reduced unity of belief. That's a huge positive. Although like it says in the book, it's unpleasant, not fun to live in, but highly beneficial to society and humanity. It's not comfortable though.
It's not society.... it's specific areas of society that have the family breakdown etc. There are other places doing really well. I mean gosh, folks might think all years after bitcoin were a cultural incline, when they look back through the eye of history.
