What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…

Thats the one! Yeah Lawrence is crazy you can find some of the whitest most petite bougie crackers to commies tatted up to their ears, both born and raised from there. Sooooo many hippies, such contrast to the other cities and rural obviously, though homesteader types are sprinkled throughout the Northeast.

There’s this one mural of him you see everywhere, he does a t pose lol I think it might have some historical significance but as I kid I always thought it looked funny. Also Lawrence has a whole identity wrapped around being launch pad for the ‘Free State’, but I hear it’s mainly just a bunch of drunk college kids and suburban sprawl now.

Thing with AI is they don’t even need be the ultra intelligent genie in a bottle to have an impact. It’s the quantitative potential which will shape the workforce. I’m speaking on behalf of the creatives, can’t speak for IT but I assume it’s similar.

Sorry I had giant spiel I was working on but honestly it just deserves to be developed further into an essay lol.

I’ll just list some points I guess.

-Portfolio based jobs, learn as you go. Professional artists right now with years of work experience should be fine, as the art from ai is just slop once you start paying attention to anything other than just how detailed it is. Symbolism, meaning, telling a story through the scene. Ai can’t do composition, let alone that. Not to mention of the greatest parts of art is the human connection, but still drawing/painting/whatever is hard to make accurate. And so can do that, eventually, but it can fit dirt cheap and doesn’t strike. Even though beginner artists can do the higher level symbolism and composition, where they fall flat is the detail and AI acts a barrier to entry.

-Smaller artist “start ups” if you will have a horrible selection process with how much ai junk you have to soft through. Ai has totally bloated the portfolio process.

-Most main stream garbage is already recycled so AI isn’t even going to change the main stream, but again finding the quality content will be harder and harder.

-Silver lining is petite bourgeois jobs being the creatives and IT (also already left leaning) will finally be losing their special status.

-I think in a socialist state AI art could be kept in as a source of raw material for a giant artist organization to train younger artists to work with, so not only are artists elevated to a more abstracted position in the process, but then we won’t have AI art clogging up every single space.

Sorry I’ve been meaning right around this fir a while so this really just acts as a little brain dump. Also ran out of time lol. I’m a goofball.

THIS IS WHAT’S HAPPENING IN XINJIANG THAT CHINA DOESN’T WANT US TO KNOW!!!

You think so? Hasn’t their geopolitical position put them in a place of stability? I mean I wish tho 😭

Is it supposed to be this thing?:

I know its the IP but I had no idea they still made GI JOE toys.

I’m so happy I saw Life of Brian after I had experienced leftist discourse firsthand, otherwise it would have all gone over my head.

ALWAYS 🤣, figured if we had one, it would be called Lumpen

oh of course don’t get me wrong love the onion, always have, i think its weird for me to find something i dont like from them

It’s so disappointing whenever they touch on China tho 😭

Ah man, that’s really sad to hear. Started slipping since the Ukraine SMO, or just over time? I’m in the Core but still pretty new to Marxism so novelty hasnt worn off yet and I’m deliberately trying to purge any liberalism in me.

Good work. I don’t know too much about her, does she usually use Marxist jargon or is she dipping her toe in the red sea. If she is starting to use more and more she just may be developing Marxist thought, and while the title is an outrageous claim she does say “(I think)” so it could be her not fully grasping the LTV and pumping it out for the algorithm. It is very Imperial Core tho. I mean I’ve grown into a toddler ML so at least I understand the basic concept of LTV. Also to say such a secure economic analysis is dead, you’d think she would go into more detail or at least more than 17 minutes, lol.
