GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 3hit's not even a question of "slop" or commercial art. Every single time this subject comes up we only talk about stuff you buy at a store (which can still be art!) and not actual aesthetic innovation as it appears in museums and galleries. Media art and algorithmic are are decades old!! 010
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 3hBlocked but want to make this point Who cares their intent as long as they're open. The notion of having this amorphous pool of reference that can be traversed with algorithms is itself alone too profound to give up as a development. I'd rather have that Babelesque resource more than anything else 090
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 3hYeah being trained on libgen or Anna's archive is based as hell 020
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 3hThey say they're talking about art but their examples in the replies are all commercial products. Completely ignoring (or ignorant of) any historical examples of media / new media / algorithmic art or even conceptual or avant garde art 000
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 3hAn ongoing list of art works that incorporate AI into their workflows that have been exhibited all over the world by legitimate museums and galleries. bsky.app/profile/dyla... 000
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 3hMedia art as a genre of fine art has not only existed since the 60s it has been collected and exhibited in world famous galleries and museums. Conceptual art and avant garde literally articulated their mission as removing any human presence from their work. You are talking about COMMERCIAL ART 100
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 4hAlso: discovering likes on FEELD expire and they surreptitiously hide people who like you from the discover feed unless you pay for a subscription has made it even worse 000
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 4hLiterally the only thing keeping me sane is that I have a—for lack of a better term—friend with benefits (emphasis on friend) who is in an open marriage but I haven't seen her in over a year because she lives in the US and I'm in Canada 000
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 4hPure hell. I haven't been on a date in over a year. Longer since I've had any sexual relations. I get almost no matches ever anymore. It's been a decade since I've been in a relationship 410
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 6hYes. It drives me crazy that we think every conservative pundit is pretending to have the beliefs they publicly espouse. Just accept the fact that they are either really crazy or really stupid! 000
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 6hit's so weird how if rape or sexual assault happens on a campus it is somehow considered not as severe of a crime? Like, the worst that happens is you're expelled? What happened to going to jail 030
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 9hSeems like the Cornell 7 has precipitated new metoo style reckoning. Here's lifedrive___/Alice Aster on Instagram sharing receipts of NYC art world / theory people being heinous in a groupchat (with presumably more receipts to come) www.instagram.com/p/Dd9RCWpEep... 000
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 11hYou really get the sense that these guys are not actually into CNC but use it as a permission structure to be abusive. I've heard similar stories from women whose dating preferences are non-vanilla. Men conflating abuse with dominance and showing little respect for their partner's desires 030
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 12hI think I need someone to catch up here. Why does everyone hate Aaron? Is it about AI? 210
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 12hI am pretty quick to distrust major corporations especially OpenAI and Anthropic, but this "secret calculator" angle seems a bit conspiratorial 190
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 12hDiscord hiding ignored messages with an "ignored message" in its place really defeats the purpose of ignoring messages. I want no trace whatsoever that a message ever existed! 030

GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 30/09/2026Like all of these critiques depend on caring about what the agent is or is not doing. I don't care! 030
GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 30/09/2026I don't really care if what agents are doing can be called reason or thought as long as I can impute value in some shape or form onto what is produced. Intent, motivation, impetus, sentience don't matter. I can like market-driven Hollywood entertainment for same reason 170

GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 30/09/2026I'm willing to concede the stochastic parrots metaphor because I don't really care about how an output is produced as long as it stimulates thought or entertainment Same way that I don't care if a movie is the consequence of a corporate boardroom as long as I can enjoy or think about it 030

GAI Debord @dylanschenker.com · 30/09/2026it's so odd for a weird fiction author to be so sentimentally attached to the "human" and the "minds of others" as preconditions for how to define writing.
