Its easy to forget things you don’t give a fuck about

Yeah I see it but thats not what the problem is. The author isnt saying “ai’s points of contrast arent relevant or helpful” its calling out the construction itself. The author complains about the ineffective writing of ai, and then names the wrong problem. Its like saying "the problem with ai writing is ai keeps usimg the word “the”. No that isnt the problem! There are problems and that isnt the one. It isnt a stylistic quirk, its the way the quirk is used that stands out, just like you said.

But actually I’m just having a laugh trying to fit in as many “its not x, its y” comments as I can. I’m all about criticizing ai but theres so much to actually criticize and this misses the mark

This is so silly. The way to explain a concept is to explain it in both the positive and the negative. Its the first steps to understanding, knowing not just what a thing is, but what it isnt.

I am not defending AI, but this writer is a loon. It isnt a stylistic choice, it is the most basic form of critical thinking. AI is not doing critical thinking, it is copping the style of an effective pedagogy.

Yeah he was one of the orbiting intellectuals I don’t actually think he abused any kids. I heard on a podcast he got “kicked off the island” at some point even for pushing back on Epstein’s eugenicism. But people clearly knew what Epstein was, esp after his conviction. I’m sure for Pinker it was all just part of the job of being a public intellectual and representative of his university, who Epstein was a large contributor.

But this is the guy who has written books about how the world is the best that it has ever been, as a way to cover for the few who get rich off of the suffering of the masses. He’s a middle intellectual who circumstances brought in close proximity to supreme evil, but never pulled his head out of hid own ass to notice

Good post

Good bit

That’s an interesting way of putting it

Juggalos are still identified as a domestic terrorist org, probably for this exact reason

I played it a long time ago, saw it in a bargain bin when short on processing power and money. Really enjoyed it!

Do you have projects that you personally admire? I assume you are choosing to donate to open source because you have an affinity for it. Personally I donate to political causes, particularly ones where I participate in/contribute to. Projects where I can get in the discord and talk to people, learn and really experience the practical side. I’m in a few Foss discords as well, so maybe joining some communities and getting to know people working with it, maybe learn to work with it yourself, will help and inform your decision.

It is way too common to confuse the abstractions we use to understand reality with reality itself. Like the scientists who work with this stuff are really consistent in keeping the two separated, but the moment a theory gets in the hands of a journalist or god forbid a politician, it starts wreaking havok

It isnt moral bankruptcy, it is systematic. The capitalist who produces profit stays in business, the capitalist who does not goes bankrupt. It isnt morals of individuals, the dehumanization of the poor by the rich is a symptom of a system that prioritizes profits over humanity.

Capitalism is, among other things, a system of forced competition.

I’m glad to hear you are on the right side of it. But in order to be effective we have to name the actual problems. I am above all a humanist, and certainly the capitalist class contains some vile and hateful individuals. That is more clear now than ever before. But we are not made rich or poor by our morality; our morality comes from the conditions that dictate whether we are rich or poor.

Even individualism is structural.

The distribution of productivity gains and development of new technology are intrinsically and historically connected. New technology is only developed in order to exploit workers, either to make individual something which was previously socialized, or to directly replace workers with industrial advances; and in many cases both.

Marx said it best: Machines were the weapon employed by the capitalist to quell the revolt of specialized labor.

This was true for the Luddites and it is true today.

My search needs a keyword, usually I just look for the letter e, and I didn’t find anything super similar to what I drew,

BUT!

I absolutely love your septogram, I have a fascination with polygons, and I love this! Also your character art style is very cool and relaxed, kinda reminds me of Matt Groenig’s style from Simpsons or Futurama, but in no way derivative, just sort of accessible and fun, cartoony but expressive. I’d love to see more!

Anyway thanks for the comment

I’ve drawn this over and over in my notebooks for years, usually to signify the end of one thought and the beginning of another. It developed out of little sketches I do in my notebooks.

So for me it’s like an ouroborous, a continuous practice made up of continuous beginnings and endings. The sort of interrupted geometry and impossible nature of it looks like a folded looping, a progression that is mystified and not immediately apparent from my perspective.

Ive honestly never put a lot of thought into the meaning, its a little doodle, but I keep coming back to it, ive practiced it and tried different iterations until I found one that felt right. It has some meaning, but as its inventor I dont really know what it is. And that seems like the point.
