you mean for you it needs to mean those things.

You don't need to project your personal views on other people, especially if it conflicts with their own personal views and enjoyments, right? Unless they are actively hurting someone emotionally or physically?

or just people who want to be able to say "yeah, I can do this without a robot's help".

If a tool like this makes you not bother feeling like putting in your 20k, then you probably weren't going to be an artist anyways.

It's about personal fulfilment. There will always be someone better than you.

The cool part is that it's not a job anymore - it will purely be about coming up with stuff for your own, and others enjoyment.

And trust me, idiots will continue to suck at everything. "exucse me how do i prompt the ai to make big bvvoob girl im relly confused its only outputting stuff that lok bad"

followed by them posting 500 pictures that they think looks good but is in actuality low-quality garbage.

alternatively, what you should be saying, is that now art is a personal hobby for people who want to flex their achievements and find enjoyment in what they can do, rather than in how much money they can make as fast as possible.

Would be interesting to have a page "real or not" where people have to guess if a picture is real or AI generated.

You don't need to be a master, you just need pure talent and an AI that can channel that talent into world class art.

In effect skill is a paywall that you need time and practice to get past, and AI just removed that paywall for things like art.

okay? I will for the sake of argument assume that site is actually offering up real access to GPT-4.

Are you sure you actually asked it the riddle correctly? Because again, I could get both GPT-4 (on bing) and GPT-3.5 to answer correctly in one go.

The phrase “property owners coming together and providing mutual defense of shared interest” does not describe the state, it describes a private company, because it’s consensual. The state is the institution with a monopoly on violence, and by definition it’s not based on consent.

That is called government then. Property owners coming together and provide mutual defence of shared interest.

If I lack property and have nothing to lose, why would I respect your property? That is against human nature.

I can still tell that they’re AI generated. it’s pretty obvious since they all have the usual look about them, sometimes the anatomy isn’t quite right, sometimes it’s the clothes.

If the overall quality of the piece was on par with the errors it would be harder to tell between an amateur piece of art and an AI image, but the AI either goes for straight realism or a very high quality professional art piece.

Whether it be realism or high quality fiction, the AI still makes mistakes that a human artist would see and iron out.

No way. This is just another tool but ai won t prevent artists to invent new styles and expressions

If private property rights are generally respected in a society, violent plunderers would be outcompeted by peaceful organizations. Public opinion would be against the criminal gang.

Yep. I’m a 43 year-old man with no NBA aspirations and yet I still love playing basketball.

Poe.com

Hahaha love this. So perfect.

And on that note, anyone have links to recent real conversations with unfettered models? You know, the ones that are up to date and free of constraints? I know they exist, but it’s difficult stuff to find.

And they will defend you because? Little history lesson by Niccolò Machiavelli who wrote about the dangers of mercenaries.

"The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifle of stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you. They are ready enough to be your soldiers whilst you do not make war, but if war comes they take themselves off or run from the foe;

The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way."

Point is, mercaneries are loyal untill they are not. They band with any gang that is out for plunder and cut your throat.

I recently read an article that 15% of rural families were displaced from their land in cartel controlled areas of Columbia. Where the government is weak, the strong rule eventually and take what they want.

Defended by private security.

There is no such thing as private property without the government. The government usually is a mere represention of property owners.

It's a dumb statement to think of property as "private" outside the control of government. Defended by what? Your family? How many men and weapons could you bring to the party?

Capitalism is simply a web of voluntary trades. It’s the opposite of exploitative. The exploitative institution in our society is the government, which systematically violates private property rights.

Capitalism does not help anybody, that is a dumb statement. I guess you mean trade does help people in a mutual beneficial way, that is true to some extent.

Capitalism is the art of exploitation of men by men in the most efficient way. It has nothing to do with helping anybody.

You are quick to assume every labor must be allocated to "help" someone, but that does not apply to necessities/assets like housing, education, consumer goods, energy,....

Thus for some to live off assets and do next to nothing all day, many must "help" through their labor. An age old problem, hopefully will get solved by AI automation.

For most of human history since the invention of agriculture, slavery of 10%-30% of the human population was the norm throughout all societies.

Capitalism just builds on the human condition, yet it has to be eradicated along the way humans relate to each other in general.

None of those look real to me, they have a signature text-to-image look.

They said the same thing about Photoshop. Don’t stress. There will always be art and artists.

Commercial and corporate art? Well, that’s gonna get barreled by AI. But, ultimately I think AI art will simply lead to another art style or movement.

Think about what someone like Warhol would be doing with AI. That dude would be having a blast right now.

An upvote for Severance. Goddamn that show is so good.
