But it's always a company at fault, not someone you can throw in jail.

That sounds about right tbh... funding is not great for these kinds of things :(

The term "generative art" really has changed the last few years. The wave of interest in generative art a few years ago (along with NFTs) also involved a lot of art that wasn't directly created directly from code [0] and no one seemed to have much problem with it. It's not much of an active market lately, but at the time it was just a different type of generative art from stuff that is much more code-based [1].

It's going to take a while to explain for the obvious reasons but all the extra stuff makes in incomprehensible imo.

i don't know how to play it, but love games like this

It is kind of weird, but they get to keep their job and a lot of times their housing. I wonder if they get a chance to negotiate a pay raise after a sale, not really sure how these things work.

It's been almost a year and I can still smell it when I see the word Greeley.

It's fun to look through the real estate listings for those "ranch" properties in Colorado and Wyoming, because it feels so far from normal American life. Thousands of acres, tons of buildings, and workers that come with it to keep it all up. It still blows my mind that some people can just decide to buy a mountain and everything around it.

That's pretty much Colorado in a nutshell. Lived in the Front Range for quite a while and voted progressive, and it's pretty crazy how purple that state is.

Many weren't, too.

what's an example of something argued successfully/unsuccessfully in your definition?

Surely you can see that Steam has come a long way since then. Hope you're not really still upset about that.

Not OP, but you really need to try out a few styles yourself and see what fits best, for me that was the Logitech MX Ergo. The big square Kensington one was pretty nice too, but not as comfortable as the MX Ergo IMO. Still working great after 6 years or so.

get over it.

I've worked with folks who sit at their desk and drink diet soda from those giant reusable 64oz cups, all day. When it's all zero calories, I guess I can see how you get there.

> If we sit idly and allow for ingesting all what’s written for instance

It's already happened. What do you do now? For decades, it's happened regardless of the robots.txt so you have to assume it's all been ingested by it all, everywhere. What now?

> But what I find most interesting is that there is absolutely no taking of responsibility of any technological creations.

I appreciate your willingness to talk about it, but to be honest it doesn't seem like it matters much what you, or any of us (not singling you out in particular), thinks about it, does it? It probably doesn't even matter who these people are who should take responsibility. This is one genie, like the internet, that probably isn't going back in the bottle anytime soon. I haven't seen any argument against "AI" that's much different than those against "the internet" and "computers" that we've at other times in the last 50 years when tech hit new mind-blowing milestones. It just keeps going regardless, right?

thanks, keep us posted.

It's a physical process/ritual that a number of people still do and reinforce among each other. It's fine to call it what it is, and it's fine that it makes you feel more connected to the music. But it ain't the music.

Why do you feel like this is scarier than the internet 30 years ago? Your comment could be written in 1993, describing how everything will change because of the internet. I'm not saying AI won't impact democracy (obviously the internet has) but I'm having a hard time relating to people who seem so ready to declare the end of civilization as we know it. Humans are resilient, and we've made it through the industrial and tech revolutions to create entities more powerful than ourselves, so what is different now?

just think a little outside yourself and you'll get there.

> coerce the artist into dying early

how do you know it's early?

Reliability of ChatGPT GPT-4 isn't consistent in my experience. It seems to respond to prompts differently, but I'm not sure yet if it's based on the number of prompts in the last 8 hours or overall server load. I would guess that the API is more consistent than the ChatGPT frontend, but can't confirm for sure.

It's just GPT!

Agreed that non-work stuff is usually better for casual discussion, but I really dislike this position of "work? surely you can talk about something more interesting!" because for some people that is all they want to talk about, and everyone's definition of "work" is different. It's more important to listen to people than criticize their general topic of conversation, imo. Based on personal experience this is probably nicer in theory than practice, but it's still what I tend to work toward these days.

Nice try ChatGPT.

I guess a rotting shark probably is too. What is art anyway? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/apr/09/new-all...

same as it ever was!

This AI stuff and crypto are a natural match. Anyone paying attention to crypto in the last few years has seen the identity experiments happening, and we're in for a ride if OpenAI taps into this.

All of the above really, but not sure what you mean by free rider. The reason you've heard about Virgin all your life is because they cover tons of areas, which is why stuff like Virgin Orbit can exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Group#Subsidiaries_and_...
