I think it is that book yes, it started a lot of these things, and a lot of these people (im generalizing here, but the Tates are imho part of a long line of manosphere people who all do this kind of stuff, selling others courses into dropshipping, courses into setting up passive income streams, courses into getting laid/mindset etc. And it seems like the only thing they manage to really sell is courses. I don't think it is that complex an evolution more like the natural progression, of course they get into crypto and AI slop. I think the only real change of somebody like Tate vs the other weirdos who did this (somebody like Cernovic was also one of these people for example) is that Tate has a little bit of charisma for an important market segment (the under 18 year olds).
So we have this new tech that makes stuff up and also is a bit racist at times? Lets use it to monitor employees, of course it also trains to replace your job.
"You hate AI art? Well name all real paintings!" the blog post.
Also talking about the urinal "Art, it seems, is most meaningful when it challenges our very concept of what art is." No that was in 1917. Pretty sure that nowadays 'what is art even?' art is quite overdone and boring.
For example, future pro boxing matches will be performed by rock’em sock’em robots
As predicted by several science fiction movies iirc. (I'm ignoring the skin suits because oof mental image).
Just needs a guy who goes "if we don't build the automated grooming machine, somebody else will".
I'm just curious how many hits you would get if you searched for '4 hour work week', as iirc that is where all these people stole the idea from. (well, not totally, the idea they are stealing is selling others the idea of the 4 hour work week, but I hope you get what I mean, 4 hour work weeks all the way down).
Thanks for doing the hard work keeping it all running!
Well, at least they put down something. More than I expected.
And doing research on people? In this economy?
Post by Corbet the editor. "We get it: people wish that we had not highlighted work by this particular author. Had we known more about the person in question, we might have shied away from the topic. But the article is out now, it describes a bit of interesting technology, people have had their say, please let's leave it at that."
So you updated the article to reflect this right? padme.jpg
It is funny in a way that he included the Victorian Megaship thing, as imho that is a bad piece of art. As the ship doesn't properly work in various ways, that it looks so much like AI (including the nonsensical rigging, the weird perspective, the smaller boats on direct collision course, and all the other things that make no sense, size wise or wind direction wise), it just isn't that great. It also has that AI art feel where on first glance you go 'huh, that looks interesting' and then it gets worse and worse the longer you look at it. (which makes sense in some ways as it was a quick piece done by the artist).
