1·3 天前I’m suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won’t happen to China now that they’re industrialized.
31·3 天前We tax things that aren’t money all the time, see property taxes.
It’s also worth mentioning Gates has made our public education system worse by introducing us to the voucher system. Billionaires are part of why we don’t spend our tax dollars on things like universal healthcare or free college.
I pay property taxes based on the value of my home, but what home is worth billions?
Deskilling blue collar labor is how America gave China a manufacturing edge. What do you think will be the result of deskilling white collar labor?
We don’t don’t need princes or kings doing PR. If we taxed billionaires out of existence we could fund that and so much more. This guy doesn’t get to make up for whatever he was doing on Epstein’s plane, at least not without coming clean first.
Here’s a question: why don’t you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?
Back when search engines worked… Pepper Ridge Farms remembers
their argument is so broad it ends up also applying ti things like photography.
That’s what you said, so I take it as: if I give a definition that includes Photography, it will be regarded as too broad. But I went ahead and gave you part of a definition anyways.
What I said is that Art is not a commodity. I will grant you that “wanting things” and “getting things” is a form of human expression, but it is not art, that is exchanging commodities. If you can express a Generative AI scenario where someone draws upon their “values” instead of their desires then you might have an example of art. So in your library scenario, what “values” are behind their desires for “digital art”? Or is this person just wanting a certain aesthetic?
The important thing is that we use our standards to not engage with what is being said but to pursue purity in our information sources. We should start by disconnecting from the fediverse because you obviously can’t trust half of what is being said here.
Hold up, you think the definition of art is too broad if it includes Photography but not broad enough if it doesn’t include Generative AI? Based on that I don’t think it is possible to give you a reason you would accept.
This conversation of “art” reminds me of the difference between “value” and “values”: https://davidgraeber.org/articles/value-the-antropological-theories-of-value/
If someone want high quality digital art, teaching them crochet doesn’t help them.
This is a statement of “value” not “values”. That someone wants “digital art” but there is no connection being made to their “values”, they are simply getting what they want.
Art is not a commodity, AI is.
And they know what they want because they tell us
Is this why modern caltrops ended up on my YouTube FYP?
I remember family separations was a big deal during his first term. And then there was that US citizen teen who was imprisoned by ICE in Texas…
Sorry but my spine only lets me punch down.
Only disagree on how much they suck. There are many more reasons why they lost.
Enshittification is a paradigm shift, but not one we associate with the birth of the internet.
On to your list. Why does misinformation appear after the birth of the internet? Was yellow journalism just a historical outlier?
What you’re witnessing is the “Red Queen hypothesis”. LLMs have revolutionized the scam industry and step 7 is an AI arms race against and with misinformation.
But he’s totally not a Nazi because he is black.
