no, it’s imaginary, but that doesn’t make it any less important

i think our society is making us work in a similar way that a bodybuilder works out: it’s just about making [these muscles / that business] grow, even though they serve no purpose and could just as well just not exist, and things would be equally fine, but for whatever reason, we’ve made it a beauty ideal that these things are as big as possible, so we must max them! every! single! day!

cosmology is an interesting subject, and what you’re describing is a cyclic model of cosmology like is typical in hinduistic literature. however, physics points in a different direction, indicating that the universe is in fact continuously expanding, which is a non-reversible process.
the exact long-term fate of the universe is not 100% guaranteed. surely “heat death” is a possibility, but renewable energy exists on cosmological scales, so an intelligent species could utilize this possibility to build energy-harvesting machines that keep civilization running indefinitely.

if there is no global art budget, then why would anyone care about AI output taking away market chances from small artists?

🤨️ are you sure? because autocorrect is always the first thing i turn off, it sucks so fucking much! have you tried just setting your language to “undefined”?

It’s interesting seeing all the people who used to complain about copyright now realizing that copyright does in fact protect small artists, and it’s actually the reason why anyone was able to make a living as an artist at all.
nah, the artist income game is even more rigged than the capitalism people like complaining about. basically 99% of all art revenue goes to 0.1% of artists, while the bottom 50% of artists get basically 0% of the income. it’s incredibly unevenly distributed. the income inequality among artists is even more extreme than it is for wage workers.

nah, as a person living in central europe, which is supposed to be somewhat modern, i can tell you that to this day, i’ve never had internet speed greater than 1 MB / sec. that’s certainly not enough to live-stream games. and also my current ping is about ~100 ms i guess (am on mobile connectivity, no cable where i live).

nah; even when you’re downloading apps like games, if you decompile them and basically just shuffle the code around enough (while still keeping it functionally equivalent) and then re-compile it, the copyright is off. i’m pretty sure some courts have actually decided that way in the past couple months. there’s a name for this exact thing that i’m currently forgetting.
i know this because it was in the news. software companies take open source projects with the GPL license, make AI rewrite all the code, now the code is no longer GPL licensed. the same thing obviously works for a whole lot of other things as well.

javascript is one of the best programming languages in the world. is was one of the first mainstream languages to adapt features such as coroutines, imports based on filename instead of classname, etc.
it does a lot of things right. haters gonna complain about the 5% efficiency lost because it doesn’t use static typing.
- Comment on desire without shame is technology 1 week ago:
if you want to do something, and do it, that’s progress. that’s technology
if you want to do something, but hold back, because it’s not “traditional”, it’s not progress, and not technology.

“buddhism” is just a term to describe any worldview that comes from south-east asia. there’s more variety within buddhism than within christianity, and there you can find a whole lot of disagreements and different ways of life already.
