  The two I love are 1. Does Australia have free speech is in the new citizenship test AND the answer is not NO! OOPS 2. Everyone sites Australia has signed Human Rights treaties etc.. BUT no-one ever reads the fine print down the bottom that states Australia only abides by these treaties etc within the boundaries of The Australian Constitution!!!! Ergo NO FREE SPEECH!!!! Ooops sorry The High Court does agree that we have an IMPLIED right to "political communication" unless of course you're a public servant, work for a charity etc etc etc

  "Artificial Intelligence" is an idiot. There is no understanding of what a "dog" is, just some weighted variables in images tagged with the keyword "dog." It's not intelligence in any workable sense, it's just a keyword swarm attached to a data cloud. It's like a blind idiot shouting a name every time it's prodded with a stick. There's no thought there, just reaction. There's no intelligence there, just a blind process drawing images when prodded with keywords. This isn't "art." It can't be. If an AI is trained on only its own output, it will generate noise. Nothing more, nothing less. Just random gibberish that means nothing, forever and ever. A human given no input will generate childish imagery at first, but refine it over time to something artistic. "AI" is an idiot generation machine, producing only copies of what it has been given, unable to produce anything original or even interesting. Until an AI can describe a dog and argue what is or is not a dog, it cannot be intelligent. It's just an idiot shouting "DOG" when you ask it to draw a dog.

  This is misleading, due to ignorance or purposefully. There is a huge difference between images generated ONLY through text, and artwork assisted with AI. Both use AI, but the method varies greatly. This is causing confusion and hypes up AI to a level that it will never be able to achieve, because applied arts is problem solving and art is about an experience translated into a medium. Images generated with text is a roll of the dice, and assuming this random element is somewhat a threat is not founded in reality. Be careful. Plus, a quick search here in KZread demonstrates that people wanting to make money with AI art is the biggest challenge of all, not because it's AI, but because the business of art itself is a tough one to break into AND sustain in the long term. Every one of those videos have people making less than $30 profit in their experiments. Do your homework.

  Have you ever considered the possibility that artists can't directly interact with generative AI because it's still very new??? Before Photoshop, Blender, Maya, etc. universities were still working on particular algorithms to get things to just work, and didn't yet implement user friendly GUIs and tools. Instead of bemoaning the death of art as we know it (because it isn't): you should focus on pushing the need for interactivity/user-input for AI-based tools, which will inevitably happen anyway because prompts can only go so far.

  You're completely missing the point of what generative AI does. With software tools like the ones you named, the creative process and generation of the work's composition is still left in the hands of the human behind the machine. With generative AI models, the human creative process is ditched completely and all that's considered is the end result. Rather than the human mind portraying one's unique perception of the world through creative expression, a lifeless machine shows the user what it thinks they want to see based on a prompt. Two entirely different topics here

  I've come to notice a pattern in videos that critique the negative effects of tech and social media--the frequent use of footage depicting young girls dancing, or doing makeup and taking selfies, as representative of the negative effects of the medium While there are reasonable interpretations to be made from this (tech platforms are shallow, hedonistic, equate appearance with worth, push unrealistic standards, give people body-image issues etc.), I think the use of these visual motifs, especially when taking into account their frequency, ultimately comes off as more reactionary, shifting blame for social ills onto women The film critic Roger Ebert once described Film as not an intellectual or logical medium, but an emotional one. That is, the immediate impact of the visuals is what sinks in most for the audience. Satirical films like Fight Club or American Psycho are notorious for being misinterpreted and having their characters idolized, and Ebert would say that the audience could not be faulted for taking things at face value. The images argue for themselves. Talking about the numbing, oppressive nature of tech over footage of young women dancing ultimately appeals to the same instincts behind the Salem witch trials-inspiring a punitive stance towards the harmless expressions of young women, in place of the real causes. While the true culprits and those with power-tech execs, legislators, and such-appear inaccessible to the average person, young women are everywhere as an easy vector for ire and resent, and many online movements harboring these misplaced grievances have sprung up

  Friedman said 'Government's don't have responsibilities - people have responsibilities'. Citizens of advanced societies in the West think that there government has a responsibility to organise the defence of their nations, to provide them with access to healthcare [even if not directly provided by the state] and to provide their children with an education. We also expect governments to invest in the infrastructure - roads, rail, water, sewage, energy provision [we expect the government to keep the lights on !]. I think the citizens are better judges of the situation than Friedman. Under Thatcher and her successors governments have sought to renege on their responsibilities with fairly disastrous results. Filthy beaches, rivers, expensive unreliable trains a collapsing health service have been the actual experiences under 'free market' policies. The promised 'shangri-la' has proved utterly illusory.

You would rightly think I had no respect for you, and certainly no respect for the subject." Postman then continued: "We expect books and even movies to maintain consistency of tone and continuity of content.

  I don't think the aura of mystery necessarily has to disappear when you translate such art to cinema. It's just a shitty adaption. And also mass market cinematography makes this almost impossible. You would need long static scenic shots like in Stalker (1971) or Blade Runner 2049, but then people complain that it's boring. Imagine that feeling of chilling on a hill with some friends in quiet contemplation on a warm autumn evening watching the sunset with zero stress, listening to the leaves rustling in the wind. Or taking a walk in a quiet snowy night through some deep fresh snow in a quaint little village. You can't capture that feeling with a 2 second shot. 😂 Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Dorohedoro, Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, Kill la Kill and Girls Last Tour, I think, are all anime that perfectly capture the feeling behind the art. It is certainly possible. It's just extremely rare, requiring exceptional talent.

  Thanks Joshua. I studied personally with Neil Postman. He was a great man. Although ultimately provocative, he was quite conscious of his « transgressions », which at that time were a national sport among hard thinkers ( artists, composers, writers) catching new human truths, as well as old eternal ones. Neil Postman was a nice person and a good human being.

  You have a great narration voice. Not British but a fairly distinctive N American. I think most prefer your dialect as authoritative.

Funny how it used to be the other way. Altho thinking about it I guess I’d want my spaceship cruise captain to be American for some weird reason.

I love history this is what I learnt from your short movie. Books are beautiful to read. I love opening up the eyes of the mind in a novel. Lesbian I'm not at all but I'm going to try find the movie on bee. I relate to the Indian culture and do yoga as a daily practice. I read Amy Tan the valley of amazement. It's an easy read on what Chinese woman go through pursue it. It's really a quick read. I love the way civilisation has helped society to learn from the past progression is awesome. I love the way you say we need to dance. I love psytrance and plan on doing film crew work and helping Aidan do sound crew work at big parties and concerts. You so good looking. This was absolutely amazing to watch
