Are you not naturally gifted? It will take 10-20 years of hard work to truly master your art, and there’s no guarantee of financial success.

Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.

some op-ed is going to say “well hey, on the bright side, Trump won’t serve a full term because he’ll have gotten us all killed, so you know, swings and roundabouts”

It’s tough because I largely agree with people saying we should have a better balance on here between politics and other things but then the President declares war or a bunch of people get kidnapped and it feels a little silly to finish typing out “what’s your favorite Futurama episode”

The bad news is Bluesky's daily unique liker count is down over a three-month period. The good news is you can just use whatever websites you want to without caring about that kind of stuff for any reason

Politics—intentional attention to the way we structure our shared lives—is essential Christian spirituality.
Partisanship—blind and absolute support of one’s chosen tribe—is antithetical to Christian spirituality.

I feel the same way about ai music. Maybe it will be able to make something that approximates a good song at some point but the second I learn it was created by a thing that can't experience loss or joy or whatever it immediately becomes uninteresting by definition
the problem with a story, essay, etc written by LLM is that i lose interest as soon as you tell me that’s how it was made. i have yet to see one that’s ‘good’ but i don’t doubt the tech will soon be advanced enough to write ‘well.’ but i’d rather see what a person thinks and how they’d phrase it

I am NOT saying people who identify as liberals are gonna turn into Nazis if we keep insulting them - they won’t - but it doesn’t exactly HELP with collective organizing if we’re constantly insulting a lot of people who share our goals of “protecting minorities and defeating fascism.”

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
