I don’t think that AI devalues art.
Nobody looks at AI products and goes, wow, this is art.
At least not in and of itself. There could be something to be said for using AI as part of a larger artwork, and that does not devalue the artwork, in my opinion, but AI by itself is not art.
The opening theme from the Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. that’s currently being used in the Olympics.
Oh yeah, and I almost forgot…
You’ve already heard the theme song for this TV show because it was so good they decided to use it in the goddamn Olympics.
If you want to go old school, I highly recommend the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. It’s a comedy steampunk cowboy romp featuring Bruce Campbell from the 90s, filmed on the lot where they used to film all of the old spaghetti westerns before they destroyed it.
And one major thing that Linux also does that Windows does not is Linux will never install an application on your computer that you didn’t explicitly tell it to install.
I have uninstalled nopilot on work computers so many times. I run scripts to manually disable and remove it and prevent Windows from installing nopilot, and Windows updates, reverts what I did, and then reinstalls fucking nopilot, and then sneakily launches it in the taskbar where I can’t easily see that it’s running to begin with.
Voluntarily running windows at this point is kind of like voluntarily allowing yourself to be sexually assaulted.
Only weirdos and sad people who don’t know that it could easily not be like that continue to put up with it.
There is a difference between being a contrarian troll and having unpopular opinions.
A lot of bands from the 90s to the early 2000s were inspired by Neutral Milk Hotels “In the aeroplane over the sea”.
Isn’t that kind of like asking a 6 year old what they’re going to do when they retire?
There’s this idea going around that if you’re not paying for something, then you are the product.
And that’s honestly the most psychopathic thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I honestly cannot believe that the people that came up with this idea and monetized it are not currently locked in an asylum somewhere.
So my rule is I don’t pay for shit.
I’m not interested in your subscriptions.
I don’t care about your products and offerings.
I’m not forking over my money to you for whatever the fuck you’re doing.
I’m paying for access to the internet, and I will take what is provided for me, and the rest can go fuck itself.
I don’t have social media outside of this, and I will delete this account in a heartbeat if it ever becomes annoying.
And if the internet itself ever reaches the point where simply paying for access does not provide any value to me, I can live without it, and I will put it down and never come back.
If I am the product, then I am worthless. And anybody that obsesses over worthless products is insane.
Well, yes, but it’s their fault for robbing a McDonald’s, so like, I can’t really question the fairness of the situation.

All of my friends got arrested and I was homeless, so I just slept in my truck all day.
As you can tell people love me at parties.
I understand liking AI stuff, but calling it art, I think, is deceptive at best.
I think art requires the intentional minuscule effort of a human being in its foundation. And AI is like other art that has been ground into paper mache and then plastered into the shape of something that resembles art rather than art itself.
While the case could be made that if a human being did that, that that would be art, the fact that a human being did not do it is the reason why it isn’t art.
