  1. @Thought Art Consume as in, media wise? I do consume a range of content, I really try to give a lot of stuff a crack. Even if it is turds. Usually I can find something I enjoy or takeaway from it. I have a pretty specific aesthetic I enjoy, but I don't require it as a standard. I won't pass on an opportunity to extract useful information just because someone looks a bit unkempt. The only requirement I have, typically, is decent audio. I think being trained in fine arts then transitioning into construction meant I had to abandon many of my previous high aesthetic standards. Construction really emphasised 'sometimes done is good enough'. It also forced me to be much more pragmatic. I had perfectionistic standards that sometimes immobilised me from creating or beginning/finishing projects. That all went when engaging in building commercial centres; time, cost, deadline pressures all reshaped how I approach problem solving and art. And what I consume media wise. Heh! Having said all of the above, I don't really watch much content. I am a bit busy, so I tend to listen. I don't place a lot of limits on what I consume. I like to keep challenging myself with novelty of all kinds - especially musically. Not sure if I answered you correctly there!
  2. @Thought Art S'all good just prompted some self reflection for me
  3. @Thought Art Thanks for sharing. I don't personally find judgements in domain conscientiousness translate across all areas of people's lives. That sort of rigidity never served me, and I never consider conscientiousness to be a global ranking of morals/character/intellect/whathaveyou. I dislike charm, charisma and artifice. Authenticity and earnestness is my jam I am strongly turned off by performative behaviour and overly crafted narratives (which Bryan and Kate have admitted is core to their marketing).
  4. So you judge the content on how it is presented and who it is from, as well as the content itself? What carries more weight for you? Does the truth stand alone in your worldview?
  5. N=1 isn't science. What Brian is doing is not science.
  6. Even the pope hates the slop: https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/pope-holy-war-artificial-intelligence Orange Catholic Bible mode. Butlerian Jihad time
  7. More slop won't dissuade from the realism that most human created AI output is, indeed, predominantly slop. It's just proving the slop oroborus.
  8. New generation afraid to live and would rather find risk free ways to engage with life. They crave certainty in service of anxiety and existential relief. Some AI to be spectators of life instead of willingly engaging. Health anxiety, biohacking and optimisation, looks obsession, all can be copes to try to control lives that are perceived as lacking control due to external structures. And who can blame them? They are exposed to things they should never be, at too early an age, setting the stage of nihilism at the state of the world. They are navigating a world previous generations never could have imagined. Meaning is created less from certainty, and more from voluntary confrontation with limitation. And this needs to happen more. We need to encourage it. “I will simulate, analyse, optimise, rehearse, and avoid uncertainty.”
  9. Hahaha! He bussin. I hope he makes a breakthrough. Could be awesome. But I have some questions 👀

  11. Comprehension issues itt. Assumptions. Haha. I'm fine with AI. I use it. I just know it generates volumes of slop and dead perfection. A simulacrum of what a human mind is. Plus it's dogshit to me, doesn't help with my work at all. Unfortunately it's not going to even be slightly near what I can do for a good 3/4 years. If ever. It would probably have to be AGi to compete and even then. But who knows @NewKidOnTheBlock yep agree with this take. In the future who knows? Current state, nah.
  12. ChatGPT you've hit your daily limit with the current model - try again later. You've been downgraded temporarily to a previous model.
  13. The fragility of the quivering, fleshy walnut ball pair on the hot bituman was a surprise to the Louboutin blood red stilleto ...
  14. There's a demand those who advocate for whatever this "feminism" is that they be taken in good faith - but this sane courtesy is not extended to those they disagree with. Or men, for that matter.
  15. Dont forget LLMs are actually our data. It's us. It's not anything we haven't already drummed up. It's humanity remixed and microwaved for your delicious delight 😃
