  • YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.

  • Baudrillard has a (3?) part essay on how the gulf war never really happened, which by that he meant how we in the West understood the war is that of a media event rather than that of real war. At least that's the heavily simplified version of it. Alot of people's imagery of a war is essentially like drone footage and headlines about Gaza, Few of us can comprehend the idea of being in an active war. I have relatives who have and their anecdotes make war seem more normal and scary the same time.

    We really do not know what we are getting ourselves into.

  • The consequences of not building enough housing

  • lol all the people in states ini housing crisis will just complain about rich companies by housing, or even the Chinese buying houses. No one just wants to build housing

  • I agree theirs a big difference, mostly from the fact they are using the tool bad (Just writing make me a pop song does not inspire) but to me this is the same as good hip-hop versus people who just rap random shit over premade hip-hop beats. It's "art" but its just no high quality (which makes sense why sense why would we want to limit it on a site).

    One thing I wonder is if you make a recommendation system that generates new music purely based on what previous music you liked (That was also generated by AI) who is the artist? Think like spotify but the AI keeps creating new music based on what you like from it. In the end I feel you are the artist of that song then no? Your recommendations then created whatever final song you listened to. Just something I was thinking about

  • I really wish we stopped linking users to random niche distros, its just much more common to run into bugs due to less users.

  • We will just like all these issues before, A new generation of artists will rise and see the use in them, while a new generation without the prejudices of the previous will consume. Everyone complained about how digital art "isn't art", literally the computer IS doing most of the work for you, computers are complex machines and something as simple as drawing pad goes through layers among layers among layers of abstractions made my the work hours of hundreds of engineers. But we agree the artist was the person using the drawing pad no? People complained about photography the same way. The world is flooded with horrible hip hop beats over copy pasted sample packs over 808 VSTs, we all agree now that this is all art, the people at the time did not.

    People confuse the playing an instrument and illustration as art, when art is much more complex, vague, and interesting idea than that. All forms of human production carry some artistic value, we simply value things where the production process feels less alienated than others (Carpentry vs factory work)

  • It genuinely astonishes me how regressive people turn about AI in art, its like I'm talking to Bill O Reilly complaining about modern art.

  • lol I can imagine decades ago people cheering for songs that use sampling to no longer being allowed on a site. We really never learn sigh.

  • Maybe this is true at smaller companies or old ones but the wlb as you go up in tech usually just gets worse, Finance it like starts really bad in IB but gets passable as you go up (like 60 hours a week). Alot of this is inflated by time people just doing nothing but saying these directors are not stressed seems laughable. My mom was one and as a kid it was noticeable how much she was constantly stressed about work when she was at home or on the weekend (On the weeks she did not work over the weekends lmao). When she retired it was like night and day. Upper management is like Game of Thrones without all the death

    You can argue that this is just a byproduct of Capitalism and top down hierarchies and alot of the work was not really work and we should tear it all down (I agree mostly). But your other solution is bottom up hierarchy (basically using representatives, I wouldn't say running government is exactly chill???) or just no hierarchy (Only viable if we all live in self sufficient communes which is pretty based),

    Also mentioning caffeine is kind of funny, thats like the tip of the iceberg, these execs and finance bros are all doing coke and meth or some other type of stimulant. All I do is design computer systems and yell at claude to code them faster. Obviously theirs alot worse jobs than being a exec its def on the upper end of the distribution, wouldn't call it easy imo

  • I think Elon is kind of the exception he posts on twitter way too much to be doing any real work lmao. He's essentially a brand guy and all his companies try to keep him away from the real work (I think he wanted the spaceX rocket to use Windows?????)

  • LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently worded on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs.

  • I feel like we are not thinking authoritarian enough. In the end computer production is centralized, no one is making hand crafted artisan laptops. If the gov says all computers need to be backdoored, all ISP's can only have devices with hardware attestation running on their networks, what do you even do?. The infrastructure for networking is all monopolized too. Like we could have some sort of onion routing over a mesh network, but the government can just make that network illegal to run.
