What? Any and all filters an intelligent species could encounter need to be factored in statistically, even if not all of those filters will 100% be encountered
When I see something impressive generated by a computer, I may go "wow", but when I see something, displayed on a computer or not, that I know a person went and handcrafted so many details on, I am inspired by that dedication to the craft. The human elements within art are a big part of what makes it meaningful.
If someone wants to use AI for the parts of a work they don't care about (or as placeholders) so they can pour their heart into a different aspect of the work, fine. If they want the computer to do all the work for them, they have created slop. This is independent of whether we live in a society that values gross resource accumulation or one that shares equally.
I will say that the push towards slop primarily stems from our societal zeitgeist. The mentality is "I need to make as much money with as little effort as possible", and sometimes people really do need that money to pay bills. I think that's a big reason why it's such a problem. There is little monetary value in actual expression for the effort required when compared with mass produced "content" for dollars.
Perhaps it's a contextual Great Filter only for instances of intelligent life in which capitalistic modes of production win out.
I would probably scale the trans flag down and let there be more blue at the top and bottom, to allow all the colors of the lesbian flag to remain represented. I might also play around with placement/rotation to get more of the dark orange+purple visible
We're in the New Gilded Age
I think it depends on the reason you do not use it. The Luddites were primarily frustrated over automation displacing their high-skill job with low-skilled ones that produced worse quality goods. It's a 2 for 1: we are losing the jobs we need to survive, but also we lose the personal touch from the work of artisans + lose appreciation for their talent.
I am not carte blanche against AI as a concept, but it really does seem like a technology that makes interactions worse quality, more depersonalized, and on top of that it has a horrible externalized environmental cost which benefits nobody in the long run.
Addendum: I believe technology has the power to be liberating when it provides for all of us, and oppressive when it concentrates wealth+power into the hands of moguls and tyrants.
If it gets you talking about it, even in the context of telling them to shut the fuck up, it's working :)
Allow me to make a hackneyed code block diagram
• <- rotational center
|
|
+👈<<< <- pounds (force applied at radius)
⇡
feet (distance from center)
Because the final unit is a combined feet×lbs, it's subject to the commutative property of multiplication. For example, 89 foot-pounds of torque is equivalent to 89 pounds of force at 1 foot away from the rotational center, or 1 pound of force 89ft away from the rotational center.
I typically imagine it by putting a weight of x pounds at the end of a 1ft wrench held perfectly level, idk.

They don't even have to be blue! You can have useless ticks in many different colors!
Yeah it turns out having a politician who actually believes in popular things motivates people to go vote for them
