  • The pencil does not make the art.

    There’s a fundamental difference between AI image generation and an artist creating something that is both inherent and obvious.

    If you can’t see that then I’m not sure there’s much help for you.

    More than that, art being created by an artist has a style and a feeling behind it. There’s a nostalgia present in every painting. An artist saw something, and recreated it in a way that spoke to them.

    An algorithm can recreate images that look similar but with no understanding. It’s just an image and lacks all the things that makes art what it is. By removing humanity from art you literally remove the reason for it to exist.

    Flatly, it isn’t art. It’s slightly better than random. But as it happens, humans are better at that too.




  • If two parties are at odds with one another, and one on them is willing to use violence and the other isn’t, the violent party wins.

    Non violence works when people care about what you’re going through. If the right people know and care they’ll come in and do violence for you to make it stop. Or at least verifiably threaten violence. But violence is happening whether you did it or not.

    Nazis don’t give a shit about you, they’re eager for violence. They want to exterminate entire classes of people. Non violence does not work on Nazis, we’ve already seen this play out once before.
