if you go precisely down the middle but 15 thousand feet underground, you get Blame!

not to self promote but I wrote an article about it since it's a very innacessible story: https://zahr.substack.com/p/blame-the-dying-earth-masterpiece

oh yeah, because anarchocapitalism will surely work great

It’s not, that’s not what i’m saying. I’m just saying you choose to give up in the face of the absurdity of it all while there’s people fighting in spite of it. Be an asshole all you want but don’t drag us into this. Go read some Camus man, sounds like you need it. Highly recommend Myth of Sisyphus.

I believe in something and I fight for it. It doesn’t matter that it’s absurd

Again, defeatist. Just because you’re an asshole and have given up doesn’t mean everyone is. Don’t throw your bullshit onto everyone else. It’s fine to be an asshole but there’s people out there using their limited time on earth to do good.

Don’t take your life philosophy from rick and morty, my guy. Check out some actual philosophers instead. Sweeping generalizations are false intellectualism.

Well even that truth is relative. Humble yourself and understand that you’ll never have the definitive truth above others. To use conjecture and philosophy to justify actual facts is very dangerous.

True, AI is neither good nor evil (no such thing exists), but it’s a tool in the hands of a company who has shown to act against the interests of the people. That is concerning, and to give in because “the universe is so absurd so this is probably meant to happen” is defeatist and childish.

“We live in rick and morty” really shows the extent of how much science fiction you’ve consumed

Indeed we will, and I am excited for it. I just find that AI art doesn’t really appeal to me in a conceptual level. “The best poem ever” doesn’t exist, you know? However, I am incredibly excited for AI in my field of actual study: psychology 👀

True, but art is a whole different beast. AI can replicate styled very well, mesh them together etc. creating something truly innovative is hard. This is ESPECIALLY true for writing. So much of writing comes from experience, especially poetry. I think it’s incredibly hard for AI to be able to write poetry about human feelings, only replicate it. It wouldn’t be honest. It’s like, to the common man it might seem fine but I think artists worth their salt while not able to tell, can identify that it’s not really doing anything new.

What I AM looking forward to is AI poetry about what it’s like to be an AI. That to me is fascinating

damn, thank you TheLastSamurai, clearly an AI authority.

I don’t doubt that it would but at least elaborate dude… how delusional do you have to be to think “that’s not true, yes it will” is an argument that works above kindergarten level?

I’m not worried. AI can’t match human ingenuity and creativity. Limitation breeds innovation- nowhere is this better seen than videogames, for example. It’s like a puzzle. AI can work in a scope unimaginable to us but it can never replicate true human creativity. It’s not writing passionate stories good enough for a writer to compliment anytime soon

One word: parasocial.
