makes title more clickbait

this is why its a poggers operating system

what the actual fuck?

who’s seen to have made it does matter but is not the important part, the important point is the causal chain by which the art is manifested into the final product matters. people assign much lower value to artwork that has been traced vs original pieces for instance.

photography did not kill the aesthetic value of paintings. people have and still appreciate good paintings even with the rise of photography. of course photography has changed painting stylistically, but has not killed its aesthetic value. the question of how much people value art aesthetically is related but separate from economic considerations. don’t get the concepts mixed up. as i argued in the article, it follows from the statement that art is not a state function to the case that it is merely that our tools to make art evolve, but good art is always hard to make and intrinsically valuable regardless of what tools are available, even if those tools are a camera or a neural net.

“few minutes and a neural net” lmao

even if hypothetically a neural net can generate the exact same piece a human makes they will not be treated aesthetically or culturally as the same by any audience. a big part (or perhaps the only differentiating part) of what makes good art good is how people think about and interact with it. and the creation process is absolutely critical in mediating that.

google pixel with grapheneos maybe

pixel 10 is pretty repairable hardware wise, some prior ones have glued in battery

i would imagine companies would just filter it out

need some more clever way of hiding it or allow it to be self hosted so that it has various urls
