...Sampling is sampling... Just because you can't see the plaigerism doesn't mean it isn't there...

Your case seems thin

(Luddite-esque. Sure. Compounded with the social media outrage of the hour.)

I dunno man, 50 years of sampled music might beg to differ about your whole "open plaigerism frowny" thing.

And AI plaigerism is so cryptic, the links so tenuous, that we don't know that they're "industrial plaigerisming" us unless they actually tell us.

Live music people complained about recorded music. Silent picture people complained about talkies. Analog complained about digital. It's old news. Go with it.

Give it a thousand years, then it's classical mythology. That's free game. That's where we got Mars, Saturn, Jupiter etc.

I dig pink Floyd deeply.

Presently listening to obscured by clouds a lot

And therefore..... this is an example of the dreams of youth definitely not being the regrets of maturity.

What if an artist makes awsome art from pieces of other people's art? Is that awesome or not?

Ah, an insult. How novel.

Confuse AI with what?

How do you "falsely share or save"? I think every time I shared or saved something it worked. I could be wrong.

(I'm in art too. Or was. I'm sorta changing these days.)

I don't understand what you're saying.

If they're questioning your model then just provide a good empirical reference to support it. Works for science.

Some of that ai art is pretty awsome actually.

Plaigerism isn't the problem. This society that makes living so hard that you need to snatch every crumb, that's the problem.

Great artists have been stealing and sampling since forever. It really isn't a big deal unless you're broke.

Popular scifi, written to appeal to the majority, for tv and movies, is actually only one special kind of scifi. And the majority isn't known for its depth or taste.

I'm not saying that there aren't exceptions, but ya, that's how it is.

There's a whole world of written scifi where the point is basically to show you something strange. Ideas so weird that scifi is the only way to convey them.

Here's some free, online scifi by good authors. Your mind will be blown.

Is science fiction enough for talking about politics?

My fave is shrooms. Real friendly and powerful.

I have never done DMT. Apparently it's like shrooms, a tryptamine. But that isn't saying much I guess.

These days I meditate.

Konami? Like, the videogame company?

Raising ethical issues in this culture is like handing out speeding tickets at a racetrack.

Also, we've married technology. We couldn't stop its progress even if we wanted to.

Psychedelics is nice but meditation is better.

Gentle, manual, comprehensive, ceilingless.

Neo rises from his coffin.

I've had some delightful times on LSD.

Also, it (and some other things) led me to meditation. And that's real magic.

Dune. Mentats. Those guys did LSD, obviously. Thoughts acquire speed and clarity.
