"End of creativity". Nice bait. If you're going to try to argue such a gargantuan point, perhaps don't lead with such a paltry example. Of course an AI video slideshow is going to be fairly indistinguishable from a hum

I'm not sure I agree with this. A senior academic is usually very familiar with the canon. You don't think you will be vaporised if there is no underlying logic and saliency to the arguments in the work you present?

Interested to hear how you think one "bluffs" their way through a philosophy degree. Could you sketch that out?

It makes things more convenient for you. I'm not arguing against that. And, yes, you may have a satisfied client. But the work will not be as interesting, because you have not comprehended all of the ingested material. That is my

So you are satisfied with work where you have not watched all of the material? Fine if that works for you, but I would not think I'd have done a good job. If something has compiled some great selects for me, I only have material based

"Taste and skill" is my exact point. If you are not watching everything you have captured, then what you make will most likely not be as interesting than if you had. I think your mistake is to assume editing is like painting, whe

Just get Resolve. It is similar to what FCP was before Apple turned it into glorified iMovie. Only it is far more powerful than FCP 7 was back then. Industry-standard NLE's like Premiere or Avid are probably the closest to Resolve.

The advancement of the Greater Israel project. US taxpayers directly and indirectly funding the regional expansion of a foreign state led by a genocidal maniac, which has no clear benefit to themselves. Talk of the chaos and stupidity of Tr

He is surrounded by very sharp people. They just happen to have undeclared dual allegiances to Israel. Who this war is helping achieving their regional objectives. The chaos and stupidity narrative only mask and sustain the far grimmer re

It's utter LLM shite. You can always tell, amongst other things, by the clunky headings. Eg, "The Catalyst: A Broken Neck".

What's the "information density" of a Matisse ot a Pollock? There's an enormous thematic subtext of surveillance state and paranoia running in the background of The Conversation that is "informationally dense",

Yes but the large language STEM salad of "marginal utility of a stranger's story" and the "P2P protocol of kindness" is surely more authoritative than your real world experience.

Yes, I feel these type of conspiracies were structurally similar, but of a slighly different composition to political conspiracy. But I think what changed is that political conspiracy became activated by the atomisation of culture and th

True. I was being hyperbolic, but I hoped it was clear that I meant that flat-earthers are nowhere near the threat-level of something like a qanon or antivax movement, who are far more politically-activated, willing to take matters into th

by l33tbro 1y ago
Yes but a flat-earther is a useful idiot for precisely zero dangerous social movements. They are irrationally angry at nature, not the establishment.

Yes. It has become mainstream. As soon as Kirk died, people were spouting antisemitic BS conspiracies that 'it was all Israel', even though he was the biggest shill of Israel's policies! As you say, the medical conspiracies

I totally agree about literacy being huge, and would actually extend it to going beyond literacy. The literacy crash is alarming, and is no doubt agitating this situation in a major way. However, I think what we are experiencing is somethi

So you are saying this is more effective than foraged mushrooms in a dark dorm room - paired with a Winamp visualizer using real-time DirectX plugins and shader-based graphics? Forgive me for being a bit skeptical
