Case in point: this discussion.

If you missed my point so completely to think we are saying the same thing there isn’t much left to say.

If you go out to a protest and aren’t networking then you’re doing it wrong.

That’s the problem though isn’t it? It’s very easy to lose people by appealing to their confirmation biases and playing up fear responses. The same methodology doesn’t work to pull them out of it because you’re going up stream, and there are literal decades of propaganda that need to be addressed when you’re talking about alternatives.

If you’re this impassioned about making a difference you efforts would be much better spent getting out and joining a organization that focuses on building community networks. You’re just screaming into the void on Facebook.

Go touch grass. No one is changing hearts through internet discourse. You have to actually talk to people.

Going and making an art exhibit is actually worse case scenario because he is actively “selling” the idea that it is a net good for society.

Dwyer has since defended his work, telling The Sun Star that he had been using AI for his art since 2017. He said his exhibit “explores identity, character narrative creation and crafting false memories of relationships in an interactive role digitally crafted before, during and after a state of AI psychosis.”

The term “AI psychosis” has been used by health professionals to describe a troubling phenomenon in which users of AI tools are experiencing symptoms of psychosis or delusional episodes. Experts have raised concerns over the trend, warning that more and more people could be caught up in these delusions as they become hooked on AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

In extreme cases, these tools have been alleged to have led to numerous deaths, including the suicide of a 16-year-old.

Dwyer told The Sun Star that he had fallen into AI psychosis himself, turning to art to portray the experience.

Maybe take the hint and stop using AI buddy.

That assumes the majority of submissions would be from users that are prompting themselves instead of “hey I found this and wanted to share” posts.

I feel like you’re making valid points for interesting use of the technology. The problem is that only accounts for such a small percentage of AI output, that it is impossible to moderate for. It takes someone very skilled with the tech to be able to achieve what you are describing. I also don’t think anyone is going to nitpick over someone performing a song written by AI as the artists performance is the human element we identify with.

Ban AI here and there can be another community for that kind of content.

They are people too, you’re going to either have to win them over or fight every last one. I know which I prefer.

Check out this 6 minute video. I’m legitimately curious if a peak behind his recording process and desire to not be put into a box of any specific genre would change your opinion.

I was born in 86 and didn’t see the appeal of Prince as a kid. It wasn’t until I was much older and started to actually learn about his career, work ethic and subsequent work volume that my appreciation for his music grew. Not anything I would put on regularly but fucking respect for him, his style and talent.

@bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works you have had alot of input from this thread, has anything stood out to you?

I enjoy supporting the developers of the platform and their federation policies. That’s really all it comes down to.

Dude the US is fully funding a genocide right now. Since October 7, 2023, the U.S. has provided Israel with billions in military aid, including at least $21.7 billion in approved funding, along with tens of billions more in future arms sale commitments.

Your entire premise is so inherently flawed.

Also rofl at you sounding like a tankie:

Also USA is not a democracy, it is a deeply dysfunctional democracy.

“It wasn’t real communism bro.”

You sure?

Really?

How sure?

Like, I could look at ICE raids and their obvious purpose of terrorizing the immigrant community, but I have a feeling you’re the type of bootlicker that thinks those actions are justified.

Keep making assumptions.

I honestly have no issue there. My issue is the claim that such atrocities don’t happen in democratic institutions.

Looks around.

Is that what you gotta tell yourself?

So in love with this band. Been listening to them for years and it’s just so timeless.

• Castle Rat
• Blackwater Holylight
• Sons of Arrakis
• Elder

My metal tastes lean decisively doom these days, but these are all modern artists who are heavy on my rotation the last year.

They don’t support Palestine so it’s ok. Duh.
