Hoooooo boy. I don't think I've ever seen this explained so plainly before.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Felix Gonzalez-Torres's "Untitled," 1991, originally appeared on a series of billboards throughout NYC. Gonzalez-Torres, a wildly inventive and influential artist, died of AIDS in 1996, age 38. #WorldAIDSDay

Marc Jacobs still has it IMO.
He's channeling Comme des Garçons and maybe Cindy Sherman here.

Fun fact, no one actually knows how brains work, that’s why it’s an active subject of research.
OG “AI” was created as a tool for this research—modeling various brain functionality in hopes to learn something. (These models aren’t facsimiles of biology, they are mathematical abstractions.)

Notice how tech talks about brains, they treat soft, vague, high level concepts as formal definitions. "Optimized for natural selection we have innate drives for power seeking..." They never explain how any of that happens/works! Then, if their program "fits" the definition, they claim they did it!

Flipside of this is that the on demand concierge-ification of everything is Too Much.
I understand that some people think Pluribus is too slow (honestly, welcome to Vince Gilligan) but I cannot overstate how much I am enjoying the detective adventures of the world's grouchiest lesbian
pluribus is the only show brave enough to ask if one mean lesbian could save the world

Thaemlitz will probably never spill the details, but I would love to know the production secrets of the bass on Midtown 120 Blues. It is so deep and wide that the album cannot be pressed on vinyl.

This is one reason why you should support indie labels, bandcamp weirdos, record stores that dare to be different, online music dorks, writers, critics, (micro) bloggers, etc.
This is the most predictable move
Labels: AI kills creativity and must be stopped
Me: they are going to stop opposing this as soon as they can make money and EXPLOIT LABOR
