this is wrong, you've been blocked of the most awesome thing there is because of the curse of humanity. lucky you, you can always help others.

there is a difference between criticizing and being actively destroying the image of what you're supposed to work forward to.

I m bullish on AI, but I think it's so over leveraged for the current reality of it. We already see how it's stagnating right now & the price of it. I still wouldn't invest in AI right now, crash or correction is very very certain unless some magic happen.

stimulant cancel psychedelics effects, you must take a break for weeks. best way is to never do stimulants if you don't want to destroy your health & brain long terms. you're welcome.

it's hard to measure such things, especially in art, it can be the result of long complex practice & contemplation. + 12 years in art & visual contemplation. daily practice of using different ai for more than 12 months. in itself for this project, maybe 30 hours of "effort" counting research, visual creation, editing, montage, that's not my longest work.

It is always rather rich to lecture others about “stealing” when you live in a settler-colonial country such as Australia or the United States. People benefiting from societies built through dispossession, conquest and genocide are not exactly speaking from an uncompromised position when they make absolute moral claims about theft, unless they accept the premise that history is ultimately governed by force, violence, piracy and colonialism. That may, in fact, be the case. So perhaps I am “stealing” by using AI trained on material that was itself built upon centuries of appropriation, extraction and recycled cultural production. I am not sure how that compares morally with living comfortably inside a state founded through mass dispossession, but well… lol. For the record, I do not particularly care about any of this. But once someone begins with shallow moral accusations, I am very good at exposing the contradictions in their own position.

We don’t talk about stealing data when we observe reality. I think the concept of stealing only applies when someone takes specific elements that already contain a strong and complex creative component.

Yes, you still need to understand more than just prompting if you have very specific needs. If you ever need any kind of visual work, feel free to DM me. I’d be happy to "do it for free", or you can pay whatever you think is fair if I manage to achieve what you want. If necessary, I’ll also explain honestly how I achieved it. I’m also genuinely curious about what you were trying to do and what happened, if you experienced limitations yourself. I like understanding the current problems people face when using these tools. Of course, making a complete movie that does not suck is still nearly impossible because of the physical and technical limitations of the technology. However, I have also noticed that non-experts often use it in very limited ways. They do not use sketches to guide the output, they are unaware of editing tools, and they do not know how to bypass current limitations through more advanced techniques. It involves a lot of trial and error, and I have spent more than 1,000 hours experimenting with different visual AI tools, so I’m genuinely curious. Let me know. I also have a registered business that allows me to invoice clients for visual art. Since I am only beginning to develop this side of the business, I am still willing to prove what I can do first. I also create physical and custom pieces, and I can print certain artworks or figurines. I am currently working on a website that will make all of this much clearer very soon. ( some of my work is visible : link in the bottom )

you just find yourself taking more time for things you couldn't before. the empty space of effort get filled by a new kind of effort.

lot of nice ai art. it was a cool watch

right now the train has left the station that's for sure. Maybe robotic.

I disagree. Everything is data, but LLMs are just one kind of it. Words must lead to practices and actions. There is no fundamental difference between listening to your video and talking to ChatGPT. Both are interactions with pure data. Doing psychedelics, though, is a form of practice that opens you up to different inputs and forms of data. It does not matter whether LLMs are intelligent or not. The question assumes that they possess a self, but they do not. The real question is whether they make me cognitively more “efficient,” and within the framework of human language, the answer is yes.

Science don't exist at all. Realize it's all a fantasy like religion. It's hard to get off the water. Experience is louder than talk. Science is a bunch of schizo following signs

Just noticing and monitoring your situation @Natasha Tori Maru

They operate through the same toxic mechanism as religious people, only in an even worse form. I think some religious people are at least vaguely conscious that Jesus and the whole mythology around him are largely fantasies designed to make them feel better. Scientists are convinced that they have figured out reality, that they are exceptionally intelligent, and that this gives them the authority to dictate how reality itself should be interpreted. In that sense, they are worse than religious people. Instead of tiny goblin-like devils, they become enormous, well-fed demonic entities that occasionally devour the goblins. Science is too sacralized, but I think we should also start mocking language itself a bit more. depending what is meant by knowing

how can you know that I don't ?

deconstruct why you need to agree or disagree what's the tone, compared to what, if you were rised by wolves biting everyone would be the right tone. children of the summer will hate everything sounding like the winter " it's the bad season, only summer is the good temper ! "

You both believe that language is a meaningful way to understand reality and the world, and that it can somehow solve reality. But maybe it can’t. Maybe we’re all just animals making noises and hallucinating meaning into them. Have you ever thought about that?

yeh endorphine is a hell of a drug I know.

Yeah, right. I was being a bit extreme, but he was suffering because of the impossible standards he had set for himself, and that probably created a constant state of anxiety, which in turn fueled his desire to hyper-perform. By my standards, most elite athletes and high-level artists are mentally “sick” in some way. They often suffer from an intense need to prove themselves to the world. That’s just my best guess, of course. I obviously don’t know him, and I had barely watched any of his videos around the time he started his whole ayahuasca phase. So ultimately, no, he didn’t want to physically die. He wanted the suffering to stop.

there is no universal rules it really depends, some girls need reassurance especially the serious ones.

I’m not doing any drugs anymore ( or rare coffee or thea once in a while ), and I don’t even meditate, yet I can still reach those states while completely sober. In fact, even green tea can feel strong to me now. THC is actually a trap, maybe the worst one of all. It can take around four to five years for your brain to recover from heavy use ( despite the mainstream belief that it is a month, this is a the biggest deception about it ), and eventually you may realize that smoking it was a terrible deal. You lose so much energy and money, sometimes even going into debt, just to reach a state that you could eventually access for free. But I suppose it took me seven years of abuse to get there, so everyone has their own path. It’s really about clearing your mind of many different things. Once you start doing that, reality can naturally become more psychedelic. Language itself may consume so much mental energy that it dulls or suppresses your natural state. it's very important to sleep a lot too and avoid anxious situations, that is more valuable than gold.

Who is to say they aren't the ones who will lead to your downfall? Why would you believe in psychiatrists? They are ideologically captured by the state. They do not serve you; they unconsciously serve the organism that maintains society. -- If Connor was doing so many drugs, it's because he was looking to die and melt into nothing. He suffered. It’s not because he didn’t look like a cliche suicidal and depressive person that he wasn’t one. To me, it’s quite clear he was longing to die and finally succeeded. You don’t need to take a bunch of direct killing pills to attempt suicide. What he was doing was a slow call for death because he never ever healed from the trauma of not being enough.

my trap card was already in place and he took it right on the face
