- Comment on Slopmaxxing 2 weeks ago:
That may have been a joke.
But if somebody did mean it seriously, like they were actually upset, one, I would make fun of them, and two, I would think that what they think they’re gesturing at is a kind of insincerity, or inauthenticness, by calling the “quality” film factory-made.
How does that make sense… It’s sort of like how conservatives think that woke lefties only pretend to care about civil rights as a rhetorical tactic to use against them.

I’m gonna be honest, even if people were paid for their contributions to midjourney’s… brain, I guess, I would still hate it.
AI is a product of the same sickness, the same mental illness that society has been suffering from for, like, centuries. It is a technology built by and for people who’d want a private car so they won’t have to sit on the bus among the dirty poors. It’s inhuman.

Not to mention, the meaning to Celeste in question is nearly identical to both Getting Over It and Dark Souls. All of these games are about, mechanically, I’m not even talking about their narratives, overcoming something difficult. But, only one of them is the author unable to understand.
Since I’m here anyway, it really bothered me that the author claims that Space Invaders has meaning because it has highscores, but never explains what that meaning is. I know what it is, of course, but if I’m being real, I don’t think the author does. Look at this quote about Space Invaders:
Even if you’re just playing against yourself, there is a tension of getting farther, doing better, honing your craft and seeing it reflected in concrete terms.
How does this not apply to almost all video games? How does this not apply to Celeste?
This article is not about anything, it is a diary where the author is trying to figure out in real time when it was they lost the spark.

That part was fine, that’s not what I’m talking about; you’re just rejecting the other person’s claims.
It’s this part: “Polyamory can be difficult to do”, sure, but “polyamory is difficult to do ethically” is much harder to defend because it puts you in an anti-polyamory position. Now you’re talking about whether it’s morally justifiable instead of, simply, the reasons why it’s so uncommon.
If you look at IAmNorReal’s next reply, it reads as if they’re defending polyamory generally, and that’s because they are. There’s no reason to talk about how friendships can be complicated too unless they’re trying to defend the concept of polyamory in its entirety. In other words, the two of you end up walking away from the initial conversation and into an entirely different one.
Anyway, I’m sorry for interjecting. I promise I’m not trying to bully you or lecture. I gotta go make dinner.
- Comment on question for the culture 3 weeks ago:
Okay, this is just a rhetoric critique:
You gotta stop using the word ethically here, haha. Whether something works out or not isn’t an ethics problem, and so is of course the very first thing IAmNorReal latches onto.
Just to be clear, I do agree with you. More people does get more complicated.

In this particular case, he has no audience except a banana and a time traveler, so you could also just ignore him. Nothing worse for him than a day of nothing happening.

this was a good and interesting article.
I thoroughly disagree with this. It’s arguments are all over the place and never substantiated. It is AI, though, so ah~
- Comment on Save me from going down a dark path 5 weeks ago:
It’s like when people need the threat of eternal damnation in order to not be a complete piece of shit.
Outside of the obvious religious propaganda, this is just an external motivation. It could just as easily be somebody’s family: an ailing mother for whom they need to be ready to take care of, or a spouse and children for whom throwing their life away would be tragic.
I could say the reason I’m a humanitarian now is because I have a firm belief in happiness. If I lost that today, I probably wouldn’t change, but if I never had it, I have no idea if I ever would have gotten here.
If someone is in a bad place now and does not have an external motivation, I’m not saying it should be this or that, but it would make sense to give them one.
I mean, I do think AA is being coercive. I would prefer that they helped their… patients(?) find a motivation that was already meaningful to them instead of just imposing Christianity onto them. I have a lot of other problems with religion besides.

I don’t know who told you that, but pussy is absolutely not zero calories.
This is something that will bite you in the ass once you turn 40, and believe me, you’ll be wishing you’d had some sense when you were younger. I nearly ruined my life, but the diet I’ve been on since 2050 has probably saved it—the results do speak for themselves. I will admit to some non-alcoholic kinds being okay. Even so, always remember your guiding principles: Pussy is the enemy of the gym, bro. Avoid it at all costs.

If AI content were more honest about itself, i.e. that you could tell at glance which was what, it wouldn’t bother me nearly as much as it does. Most of the destructive power AI has is because it’s so hard to tell.
There was some charm to Dall-e or whatever, even if it was a bad omen.

Marcel Duchamp does fit my definition.I’m certainly more interested in his work than yours.

Okay, well if you’re going to be like that, I’ll talk to someone else:
An artists job is to pull together research, resources, history, knowledge, opinions, their own fluency in the language of the medium they’re using, and a bit of inspiration, and turn that into something interesting, or cool, or flashy, or thought provoking.
AI generation, even for the concept phase, skips 90% of that effort.
You can’t fabricate something with AI and then re-make it by hand later because these are two halves of the same process. By the time the hands are involved, there is very little left for them to do.

You don’t see the use in an artist viewing an approximation of the finished product
I don’t because that’s not what artists do.
Artists are not people who bring nearly finished projects over the finish line. And if your finished project does not look anything like your nearly-finished AI assets, what are you actually using them for?

It’s called Dad’s Big Balls: A Bowling Story about a professional bowler and estranged father who wakes up one day with tragically tiny hands and is forced to fight his ex-wife for custody of his children in a bowling tournament while also being able to use only child-sized bowling balls.
I’m reading When They Cry, currently towards the end of Umineko, and for a series that features a character who self-describes as an intellectual rapist, it is surprisingly compassionate, almost religiously so.

Wow, this is really poetic.
It might be because I’m already reading something that’s ultimately about trusting other people and fermenting a strong belief in human kindness and compassion, but this is really doing something to me.

How is it Mean Girls-esque if they think they’re being nice?
Anyway, no, I’ve seen your other comments, you clearly have a bone to pick here. Honestly, it’s funny that you’re the one telling me about being the rudeness police.
I’m sure Katana is old enough to handle whatever problem may be here on their own.
