Tomorrow morning at 8:00 am CST, Panama Hat will be joining me once again for a very cozy stream on hymns!

AI "art" isn't real art for one simple reason — it lacks expression — a machine cannot feel, so it cannot "express" the way a human being can.

When a human artist creates, they are communicating something about themselves and their thoughts and feelings. They are packaging a message in one medium or another and sending it off so that the recipient will be made to think and feel something upon receiving it. This is the basic mechanism behind all art forms.

AI is nothing like this. In fact, even the term "AI" is a misnomer. They're products of machine learning. "Learning" and "intelligence" are two different things. "AI" does not and cannot "think" or "feel" the way a person can. So the "art" it produces is just the product of a complex list of instructions that have been given to it, varying combinations of datasets fed into it.

This is why, despite all efforts to make AI "create art in different styles," it still produces unnerving and soulless-looking material. It's not an accident that all visual AI art has that same uncanny look about it. But I think it's most apparent with AI-generated music; go look some up on YouTube and then enjoy your nightmares.

I am sure someone will say "bUt ThAt'S bAsIcAlLy HoW wE tHiNk ToO" — no — science still can't even properly define what consciousness really is or how it comes to be, much less how it works. So although it may outwardly appear that humans simply respond to inputs, we don't know that that's how our brains actually work. What we do know is that each person has their own quirks of consciousness, that we call "personality," with some of these quirks being innate and heritable.

The entire idea of comparing that natural complexity to an algorithm with rigid logic trees that can be objectively quantified in PowerPoint presentations is just silly. There's just no comparison. The real concern I have is that human artists will be squeezed out of creative work because corporations will increasingly rely on AI for cheap and easy content generation. After all, it's not like corporations value art in the first place, so why settle for the lowest common denominator human art when they could go one further and just license a piece of software?

Fully agree with Remnant here. Art is uniquely human. AI is not human. Therefore what it produces is not art. Imitations maybe, but not art.

#191 - The Rise And Rise Of Crimes Chat
[In fine form after taking a week off, Dimes and Judas discuss Alex Jones fined one billion dollars by the same legal system we are supposed to cheer for its patience towards Darrell Brooks, a nasty digital attack by America’s Alex McNabb, the UK in upheaval after their twentieth Prime Minister trolls proud Albion through self-yeet, and an internal content whistleblower from inside Facebook who details the lengths they go to while avoiding tracking down the most nefarious sex abusers on Earth. By way of a review of Halloween Ends, they build to a discussion of how we both define and combat evil, citing the book “On Resistance to Evil by Force” by Eastern Orthodox philosopher Ivan Ilyin. A strong case is made against modern Christian pacifism while declaring one’s duty to identify and aggress against evil once identified. Lastly in this edition of the Copepranos Society, Dimes sits across from the cool-as-a-cucumber Ryan Turnipseed and they discuss the state of zoomer mentality, corruption in the modern Lutheran church, and precisely why Mormons are uniquely treacherous and slaves to the American police state.]

Norman once again proving to be the gayest town in Oklahoma

Also, these are your typical Zoomers. They’re entirely molded by the only authority in their lives: media and state

I've lately been re-reading through the speeches from the event earlier this year, and the knowledge as well as advice offered in these talks should be revisited again.

I often go back on previous videos and streams from our cohorts, because each individual comes at the struggles in our modern life on vastly different angles (which is good!) that we certainly need to consider when looking at things. We must look back at contemporary knowledge, even if it's just a video from a year ago, at the same way many of us look back at old tomes -

You never know what nugget of knowledge you might take away from a second glance.

I know this is some strategy that won’t actually ever happen, but I didn’t believe it was real.

We’re a serious country, by the way. Ballots just mysteriously materialize at midnight and our courts consider fining individuals a sum equal to 7% of the US debt.

In a couple of weeks, when the Republicans coast to an easy, undeserved "Let's Go Brandon" victory, all of the "Roevember" Resistance shitlib cattle will just start talking about the next election — they won't do shit — they will impotently cry on Twitter Dot Com and Facebook. There is a lesson in this. Imposing your will works. If it can be done with abortion, it can be done with any other element of the cultural rot that we live with on a day to day basis.

There is no reason not to. We just have to purge the GOP of cowards who won't do it.

“Japan is so based and traditional.”

I will not play Victoria III. I hate the antichrist.

Crazy how gay marriage was illegal in every Anglosphere country (except Canada) not even 10 years ago, and now we've got infinite genders, transgender toddlers, and people who deny that biological sex even exists.

Turns out the "slippery slope" that we fell down was a vertical drop into a bottomless pit.
