I am finding the image search engines heading rapidly the same direction: try to search ie. for anatomically correct human heart: majority of stuff is absolute garbage ai slop, far from being correct in any way, a lot of it looking like "❤️ with pipes". I need REAL references, not machine dream BS!

If I had a dollar for every critique of communism that amounts to little more than describing the modern reality of working class Americans under capitalism I'd own the means of production at this point

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Musing on AI AI is theft and a new medium saturated with the character, beliefs and attitudes, for good or ill, of those who teach it. How much as an artist you use it is perhaps a measure of how much of yourself you believe is worth using and revealing. #AI #art #education

I would say this footsie-with-selfhood thing surrounding AI is about the "dumbest" use of philosophy I have seen in my lifetime, but that would be letting it off the hook. It's actually an inexcusable corruption of philosophical language in the service of ethically laundering exploitation.
