Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And that isn't specific to art. AI will get better and threaten lots of jobs if we don't plan for it as a society and I don't see many good planners in the government 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And I think that is who AI art is for. But on the flip side. I think this discussion is really an economic discussion. From a artistic point of view why should artists even be upset? True art always has a unique perceptive. You can't replicate it. The real problem is economic 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I am pretty sure he doesn't from talking to him. Some people are just shallow and basic. For them art would be easily replaceable by a machine. There are millions of people like that. Capitalism makes it so non creative people think they are consuming art instead of a cheap product 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is exactly the point I'm making with you. It's not stealing because it's copying something shallow and derivative like you are. So of course you won't see the difference 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 03/10/2026All pop music is derivative and AI is too. But great art has deep human meaning that is difficult to replicate. People shouldn't fear that being replaced. It can't be. Making art is only about the money in capitalism 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 03/10/2026No, it's not that I don't like it. It's that it's inherently vapid and meaningless. I'm not using the word art for it to demonstrate the difference. AI can replicate it would be classified as art but it is cheap art. Of course AI can replicate that. 200
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026OMG stop saying things like this about your wife. I know you don't mean it the way it sounds. We need Chris on Blue sky 110
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Good example here. This is supporting the arts bsky.app/profile/mayo... Having AI make menus for bodegas is not 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Then at that point we have reached something like AGI. The current state of art with AI is not very interesting at all. It is just a cheap representation of the human experience 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My point is people are making an artistic argument against AI art and I think that's disingenuous. They are really reacting to AI replacing their way to make money. They can still make great art on their own time, and if someone makes AI art one day that actually has cultural impact 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026To me this is strictly an economical issue. For instance if pop music is replaced by AI generated pop music. We haven't really lost anything culturally to me. Pop music was a product to buy and not art to begin with. I am not anti AI. I run local AI at home 200
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't know if you are American but if you are that is probably why you feel this way. A lot of human made art has very little actual artistic value and makes millions of dollars in the West. I'm just saying art can't actually be made by something that cannot actually feel. 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm not. I think it's an important difference. It's what makes art art. AI will make commercial art with less emotional value to humans. What people are mad about is economic displacement, not that the machines are making art because it's an inherently lesser art to humans 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I work with AI and I am not extremely negative about AI but it's crazy for people like this to act like machine made art is equivalent. To be fair, so much art is vapid nonsense in America that for a lot of people AI art is no different from the art they consume 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I mean this in an artistic sense, not literally. I think this is what humanity will wrestle with culturally as AI art becomes the commercial standard and displaces artists commercially, but my point is that loads of art in capitalism has no real intrinsic value and that is what AI art will replace 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I do think the idea is more important but if the execution doesn't also come from your mind, it is hard for that "art" to have value. I am not a great writer though and I think I have good ideas so I could imagine AI bringing to life ideas that never would have been too 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I agree, or at least not art valuable to humans. It will displace a lot of artists that use their skills to make money in capitalism though so the distinction doesn't really matter 120
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@murderxbryan.bsky.social you know a celebrity? www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...cnn.comThe tweet that defined a decade of Trump | CNNIt’s been 10 years since Jesse Farrar accidentally defined a political era with one pithy, prescient tweet. He wishes it never happened. 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sophie Cunningham is just an annoying ass person. Anyone who says otherwise is gaslighting you because they agree with her politics. She is the type of player everyone wants to beat up in pick up #wnba 020
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Trying to get off Reddit and post more here. Reddit is very weird in like the opposite way of Twitter. Everyone also feels like a bot there though 010
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And finals MVP should matter more. It's the entire point of playing a season 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think it's more likely the Celtics are a disaster than they automatically win 50 games like everyone is just penciling in. I have no love for Jaylen Brown but the analytics are wrong about him. The NBA isn't a simulation, he played most of the game on a great team for his entire career 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 16/09/2026At least a vile Zionist has some balls. Ed Sheeran is a coward 110
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Trump is bad enough alone but the fact Democrats are going to use his presidency to try to insert middle of the road Democrats is what is really going to kill America long term. Corporations are raiding our pockets and AI will take jobs with Conservatives in charge of both parties 0162
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Good morning Vikki. I just wanted to reach out to let you know that your bill is stupid 010
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026All of this AI news is pretty bogus. This is a good read about why the navier-stokes problem is just PR www.europeanscientist.com/en/features/...europeanscientist.com“Resolution” of Navier–Stokes by AI: A Very Human DishonestyBy Marc Rameaux Marc Rameaux, AI specialist and regular contributor to The European Scientist, reacts to OpenAI’s announcement of 8 September 2026 claiming that artificial intelligence had “solved” a ... 010
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026There is no difference between MAGA people and Russiagate people. It's the same kind of brain 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Congratulations to Democrats for out polling fascists. They finally found a bar low enough 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026OpenAI and Anthropic are obviously lying. You can tell with like 10 minutes of research but it is a little scary to think about Trump being president when we do get fully autonomous AI. 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yeah this is what is making me feel insane. There are people all over the Internet who think she can still go free and talk about the case in an alternate reality and it's all going to start over again 010
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Oh ok it's settled then so we better not blame progressives for losses. Mark Harris said we're not doing that 120
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Just a PSA. If a Democrat loses to a far right candidate they are not the resistance. The only person to blame for losing to fascist oriented politicians are the candidates 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Ideally it would work how you say it does but clearly it doesn't 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yes! That's my point. The money and base of the Democratic party do not fit the needs of the population. If they did, they would beat Republicans in a landslide. What are you are describing is the process that is rigged towards party elites and packaging it like a fairy tale 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026No they don't. The voters pick from the candidates they are given. 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026None of this originates online. That's my point. You think your posting matters and it doesn't matter. If a candidate runs and loses and you post about whose fault it is, you are wasting your time. 110
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026And if they win then the issue wasn't a deal breaker to begin with. My point is just "the voters" aren't someone you can scold on Blue sky to support the candidates you want. The voters are the population you have to win over. 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yes, that is what I'm saying. The party is picking the wrong candidates and sometimes it's pretty obvious that ideology matters more than winning for party leaders. If you run candidates that receive AIPAC funding and lose when that is unpopular then that is what happens when you do that 200
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Or if not Israel, Medicare for All, or whatever money the candidate took from a group for their campaigns 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026In America third party is just pointless because we only platform two parties. They need to change to ranked choice voting to make all parties viable. The current system favors Conservatism though and Democrats would rather a Republican win than someone who doesn't support Israel a lot of the time 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Right but the primaries aren't fair and balanced is my point. People should not blame voters. The party is funding and promoting the politicians that lose. Blaming voters is pointless. The politicians who win in landslides are doing it without big party money. 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026You are an activist cosplayer. We don't need to do anything. You make no difference in the world or online 000
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026People say things like, third party voters lost Kamala the election! Ok? And the plan is to post that online. Now what? 100
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026No, not at all because we live in a two party system and the party heavily financially back the candidates they want and then when they lose in the general they use the news to try to shame voters. They can do that, but it's not going to change the results much like people wasting their time on here 200
Ross & The Quinby's 🎳 @vicnobu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Because things have gotten worse under every president and Trump tricked them into believing in his vision. Going back to the "way things were" is only appealing if you had a good life 100
