it’s okay to feel sad, you just have to feel sad in an interesting and unique way

you should have to wait in line at a payphone to post

Disney has, in continuing to make Toy Story movies, completely missed the message of the Toy Story movie they should have stopped on.

that’s a beautiful piece, resin?

I don’t know how they did things via telegram but the digital non-natives have had plenty of time to get with it

look, if you post you open yourself to posts idk what to tell you

don’t worry, no longer interested in engaging at all since you’ve made yourself clear

this seems pretty disingenuous… I wasn’t telling you what to post, I was voicing my opinions just as you were with your post. I don’t see why it only goes one way!

and yeah you can absolutely say whatever, I’m not trying to police what you can post, and you also can absolutely disagree with me that aesthetic criteria matter in criticism (I’d agree it does in terms of what’s convincing to most people, just not in determining whether it’s right or wrong)

I don’t think I disagree with you substantively, for what it’s worth, all I think is that the way you’re distancing yourself from other critics is mostly aesthetic/rhetorical not substantive. that’s totally fine, but I’m just saying to me it doesn’t necessarily have to do with the argumentation

if your critique is bad, your critique is bad, whether or not you’re impressed by anything. saying you’re impressed or not just seems like a rhetorical move that isn’t necessary for making sense of your criticism

I just don’t really think whether you as a critic are astonished by a technology or not necessarily matters for the criticisms you make. seems more like window dressing for your argument

I guess that question of how astonishing it is seems kind of irrelevant to why and how people use it, it strikes me as like a land acknowledgment or condemning something or other. just a thing you do before getting into the actual meat

I think there’s a tension between “criti hype” and “hype” (and doomerism ig) that’s being navigated but I think there are people engaging in earnest with the idea that people who use AI aren’t just mindless or bad. maybe it’s my own bubble!

a pick me is someone that tries to get attention by belittling others of their ilk (e.g. a pick me girl belittles other women)

tbc I absolutely agree that there are some critics (and many more noncritic individuals) who do what you say, I just don’t actually think that’s most critics now

in more modern parlance I think this is a popular “pick me” critic position

I don’t really thinks that’s true, maybe if you narrowly take a subset of critics (I’m sure we can imagine the ones), but a lot of people are interested in what it means to say “it works”
in a way that is situating it between actual use and ad copy

you can’t spell “sophistry” without “I try”

yes and yes

ladies…

“The UN can’t stay silent watching what’s happening in the world. Trump invades Iran and bean prices spike in Brazil, corn prices rise in Mexico, gas prices rise elsewhere. It’s the poor who pays for recklessness of wars that nobody wants”

— Lula da Silva, president of Brazil

they love it even more you respond assuming the meaning they clearly didn’t mean

people love it when you point out that something they said was ambiguous
