Literally nothing but facts. A preschooler messing around with crayons has more potential for creating emotionally complex and legitimately moving art than any AI could ever hope to achieve, solely bc it doesn’t have a mind out of which to draw any semblance of emotion or passion, it can only faintly imitate the passion of actual people.
I’d highly recommend Drew Gooden’s latest video on AI and how fundamentally bad it is at attempting to create anything resembling emotionally resonant art. Definitely a powerful watch that summed up my thoughts perfectly.
Do you think AI can generate IGOR by Tyler, The Creator? By The Time I Get to Phoenix by Injury Reserve? Everywhere At The End Of Time by The Caretaker? Everything Everywhere All At Once? Into/Across The Spider-Verse? Love, Death & Robots? Utopia? A Picasso painting? A Zdzisław Beksiński painting? Can it write Animal Farm by George Orwell? Watership Down by Richard Adams? I don’t think it can. Art is made by humans to connect with other humans, to make us feel, think, and more. Human art understands humans. AI art only understands what it is fed. It can generate a generic picture but yet can’t generate a hand properly, one of the earliest pieces of art ever made were handprints and a computer can’t understand it enough to generate it right. I think that says a lot about the difference between human and AI art. AI and tech bros don’t understand this about art, they never will and even if they did or do they don’t care, they see art merely as a product, a commodity with no other value than the price tag slapped on it. “How much can we charge a subscription to access this art for?” is the only thought that crosses the minds of people who champion this kind of soulless, emotionless “art”.

Guys, please help, Perrin won’t stop telling me random facts. He. Won’t. Stop. The tangents keep rolling in without fail, I am a prisoner to this madman and his endless repository of random information. He ate Wikipedia and has all random facts on the internet committed to his memory. The worm juice will consume all.
I love how 90% of the time bee movie bot is just nonsenseposting but every few weeks it posts a line that hits different for whatever reason
(I just moved back home after school ended and saw a bunch of people for the first time in months)
oh yeah I forgot to talk about rugby
so I didn’t experience a single win playing for my team until last November after over a full calendar year of playing, and we had low expectations for the spring with a first-time head coach and a bunch of new players
we showed to our first tournament of the year and finished second place despite still being a lil sloppy. the second tournament feature some much bigger and more experienced teams and we were the only small college who advanced to the quarterfinals. being 4-5 through 2 tourneys isn’t ideal but it was still way better than we expected.
we kept getting better and tougher and more polished as the season progressed, finished the year with a 10-8-2 record, placed top 3 in 3 different tournaments, and beat a bunch of teams who were an entire division above us. 6 of those losses were to teams at least a division above us. we were consistently among the grittiest and most dominant small colleges in all the tournaments we played in.
I’m mostly in a passing and defensive role and didn’t always start but I still made a big impact, I served as acting captain toward the end of some games and was able to score a try (my teammate was the one who broke through to score but he passed it off to me last second so I could get one, but still)
we completely turned the club around in a single offseason. we put other schools on notice. if we keep it up through next year, we’re gonna be dominating next spring.
it was a super fun season.
same goes for toast after 2-8 months
you don't fully realize how awesome water is untill you haven't had any for 50 hours lol
Thou art naught but a sniveling, repugnant scallywag; a scrupleless heathen, an insufferable knave, a delinquent hoodlum; thou couldst not seek company amongst even the most wretched of foul souls, nor find favor with the filthy swine of the wild. The sheer magnitude of thine density rivals that of stars, and the strength of thine character rivals that of a limbless mouse. I rebuke thee with all my strength; I henceforth pray to never behold thee in my gaze again. May thy bedchamber be perspirous and solitary; thy consternations frequent; and thy crops unyielding. I would wish thee good day, but no morn or eve graced with thine abhorrent presence could be classified as such. I pray this to be the final instance of our mutual presence.
since when does Quentin Tarantino have a wasteof account
update: finally got it looked at and x-rays didn’t show any fractures, seems like it was just dislocated but due to the spraining on the lower knuckle it bruised more and appeared more crooked than a dislocation typically would.
the hand specialist also told me that my finger joints are abnormally loose and flexible which explains why it’s so easy for my fingers to get hurt + why they always seem worse than they actually are
he was disturbed by my ability to crack my knuckles horizontally so i guess i’m just built different
update: I kept hitting it on things and it probably fractured at the lowest knuckle after all the collective damage it endured
and then I broke the knuckle above that one on the same finger making a tackle during rugby
my right pinky has been through a lot this year
