I think you’re hyperbolic about how Art will look in the future. “Art” as a category includes absolutely anything and everything; from a child’s doodle to an as hoc arrangement of pinecones on a forest floor.

Authors and their works will always exist, even as AI-generated content floods the internet; the complete works of Dumas, for instance, are public domain, will never disappear, and will always have readers.

What we’re witnessing right now is a flood of AI slop across every medium, from visual arts to books to music; and yeah, there will always be a Lowest Common Denominator kind of audience that won’t recognise slop as being slop; but just like how there’s currently a resurgence of vinyl, there will always been a hunger for genuine, authentic, human-created art across every medium.

You need to rethink your social media campaign, and please leave all of us on Lemmy alone.

The only thing I’m vibing to is New Order’s “Substance 1987” on vinyl.

Pretty sure I’m doing it right

This is how I do it. Am I doing it wrong?

Apparently Microsoft views success as Quarterly Profits, and long term planning for the future has taken a backseat.

They’ve been floundering for a while. Eliminating jobs only guarantees they’ll flounder even longer.

Corporations don’t care about people. This bank doesn’t care about you. Banks care for no one but themselves.

Wow, it’ll be so great having these summaries nobody asked for added to various feeds so that they can be scrolled past and ignored!

1 hour of gym per day will provide zero mental health benefits when coupled with how little sleep you’re planning to have.

Catnip treats that have lost their freshness. She don’t notice when I throw out the old ones anyway

Always has been

Yay more hype. Just what we needed more of, it’s hype, at last

I don’t know why there’s so much hate for Vim. It’s simple- just use it as your default text editor since you first started using computers, and keep using it forever, and problem solved!

Friday afternoons are best for this

Was it apple? I just heard about them last week but they seem expensive

Imagine a boot SO mighty that if it exists it might crush you, so you need to lick it ahead of time so that someday if it does exist, it might not crush you.

Which one of these symbols is Bash? If none, does that mean I’m not a nerd?

This man lives in a bubble

1. The Earth itself doesn’t have to be hanging in the balance. Smaller plots are just fine.

2. I don’t need a month-long plot broken into 2hrs; I’d really rather have a more limited duration being represented.

More on that point: I recently watched the Director’s Cut of Napoleon, and found myself wishing it didn’t have such a “biopic” feel, where 20 years of events was condensed down to 3.5hrs. Quite frankly I’d rather have a vibe more like “The Raid: Redemption” where it doesn’t have to be Real Time, but closer to that serves a better narrative.

I keep thinking back to Rogue One, at the end of Act 2 where our Team Of Heroes has been assembled and they’re traveling towards the epic showdown that is Act 3. They’ve got a few days to spend in hyperspace, and we get one brief scene establishing that fact, quick banter between a few people, and off to the big showdown.

It felt so rushed to me that I wondered what I was missing over those days spent in travel; how characters were preparing themselves for what was next, how they were reconciling the events that led them to this; there is an utter wealth of joy that can be found by just slowing down and letting characters exist in time, instead of just minimal exposition followed by action.

I just love when I get a meeting update in my Outlook and Teams says “new notification!” but it’s the same notification as Outlook that I’ve already cleared, but then my phone buzzes because Teams is shouting “There is new activity!” but it’s not new activity, it’s the same notification I’ve already cleared on both Outlook and Teams on my laptop

Nice dream
