  • My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

    It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

    So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.






  • Omg. Are you right? I really highly prefer Quake Live, and the feel of it. I loved CS but stopped watching when the Saudis came in. Havent interacted much with Valorant, but I’m susceptible to arguments that it improves on CS in mapping, which of course CS is about to fix.
    My main issue with esports is just the timing, I’m 26, I was excited about it when I was 16 - and it failed to take off in time. We had big tournaments but not the fundamental technological and design progress that I was hungry for. So I’m open to your opinion on many fronts.









  • All I know about Bluesky is what’s in the name. When you look at the Fediverse tree, every branch, leaves, and roots are labelled. But the sky isnt. Bluesky. I believe the intent is to be bigger and far more important than the Fediverse, smother it rather than let it grow. Jack is a businessman, after all. He really liked having a hugely important platform in Twitter and how much political power it was beginning to have.
