No Triton on the Spark.
Hasn't come out yet.

Wish I had this like 72 hours ago

The rest is all the merciless harassment of grandmothers, and professional artists who choose the wrong aesthetic.

Monstrous cult-like behavior.
Fascism.

If anything represents the death of creativity, it's that.
But maybe we've already crossed that bridge.

Hard to say.
I'm optimistic we haven't

There is no fight to address the injustices of power, if you're not taking the fight to billionaires, and corporations.

There are only a handful of people in the NoAI space that have even attempted it.

"Ideas are worthless" they say.

There is no art without an idea.
Art is about connection.
Ideas are how human being connect.

The tools used, aree inconsequential.

Censorship, suppression, harassment, pitchforks, the abuse of law, and campaigns designed to hurt people.

This is the stuff of fascism.
And it goes, way beyond "I just don't believe this shit is art."

Fuck you, fascist.
Seriously.

The nazis burned paintings and books.
You're no different.

When you harass others over your ideas about artistic merit and vague ideas of property, you are not addressing an evil.

When you attempt to unroll a century of postmodernist ideals... you are evil.

And if you do it in an organized way, you become the only dragon worth fighting.

The fascism of it. Telling another human being, "No, you have to express yourself MY way, and nothing else is valid" then dogpiling them or harassing them everywhere they go, as though that makes the argument somehow valid.

I don't suppose this would be a problem, if they left it there. There's no rule or law that says you're not allowed to subscribe to weird art cults who are fundamentally uneducated or wrong about art. It is a free world. But the issue arises when they apply this to others.

And it's a good thing too, because it isn't. But it speaks to a culture that produces art without ideas all the time. Where vain ideas of process (that would not have been considered valid 30 years ago) are lauded as the only important thing in the artistic process.

Fuck that.

It's a kind of collective psychosis.
There is no changing it.

It's less of a matter of civic responsibility than it is a gamble with the lives of your friends, family, neighbors. Some of whom would knowingly send you to a concentration camp if they had their rathers. And if shit hit the fan not one of you would think about your own role in that process

When you vote, you're complicit, morally culpable for the outcome, no matter who wins, because you did your part to allow the meat grinder of the state to exist for another four years. You have no responsibility to change or interact with a system that has no legitimate right to exist

Handful of my favorite people in this one.
