Ah, tragedy strikes in these lands... AI *can* have some benefit to daily life, but never in artistic fields. Using AI to create art is going to completely kill creativity for the individual and for society as whole. “After all, why should I think and spend time creating a story/ art, when I can just type some prompts on a website and be done with it.”

It’s a terrible and depressing mindset to have that will become all more prevalent, specially when it’s embraced with open arms. Treating art as “something to get over and done with it” rather than “something hard to do but very rewarding” it’s basically saying that you don’t care about the creative process of art, you just care about the results, money and fame from it.

That’s not even mentioning the constant stealing, scraping and violations these AI developers have to do to make and sell their products.

So, Stewart Brand’s PC argument and AI are not the same thing, Kyle. One you use as a tool to make your creative projects and develop your skills, the other is a cheat code for mediocrity with no difficulty or skill to develop. One benefits the user and gives them tools to pursue their creativity, the other spews out the same trash that is controlled by their corporations.

With that being said, I’ll be going forward with my plans of moving to Nekoweb. I don’t want my code, writing or art to be fed to a machine without my consent or control because you got a handsome offer from these thieves. Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from amazing at any of those 3 things, but they still hold a lot of value to me, because you know, I spent a lot of time making it.

I’ll still hangout here and talk to the wonderful people I had the pleasure to meet here during these 2 years, but I’ll no longer be paying for Neocities services or hosting files here. It’s gonna be a long process to move everything, especially for me who has never even tried such a thing and is completely oblivious to many obvious things! But it’s for the better.

There would still be work to be done with it, but I think the "download entire site" option in the editor would help moving a lot. You'd still have to change all the links, but I've looked at mine after weekly backups and thought it seemed pretty doable.

I tried using the "downloading entire site" option but only butchered the website files, usually downloading only like, 30% of everything and stopping right after, due to my website being a little toooo big. I used the “Mount to Computer” feature to download everything, which worked pretty well. But changing all the links and stuff will take quite the long time…

What the fuck did Kyle do now?

@crackworths Kyle made a dissertation about how we should embrace AI with open arms like we embraced PCs back in the day and expressed support towards generative AI. Saying that it is a tool to help with creativity, which I disagree with heavily in both principle and the current execution (all the stealing, scraping and stuff).

this writeup is from more a year ago and it's clearly not addressing the typical AI skeptics that have a much stronger case these days, but rather the tech doomsday cultists of the time that are deserving of just as much ridicule than the AI pushers.

The backdrop was also most certainly this letter, which was all about the whole corporate lobbying and the AI PR about how the technology is supposedly dangerous because it "will result in AGI" and thus it has to be monopolized by large corpos to have free reign over it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/29/elon-musk-joins-call-for-pause-in-creation-of-giant-ai-digital-minds

OMG MY RIGHT EYE HAS BEEN TWITCHING TOO. I think it's our super powers activating. 😎 really loved this blog. I understand the pressure but actually appreciate when people are more real and share real thought or perspective or snapshot of their life without feeling the need to repesent all people or even their full selves in that moment. to me, that's part of what the freedom of spaces like these online should be for

"generative ai thing?"

beetmint 6 months ago

Not sure if I can reply directly but I’ve been reading on the activity that the site owner has an entire manifesto on GenAI and I’m not really there for supporting that even if it’s on a fringe case.

Also, I'm probably going to take a small break after the Battle of the Woods section is done. I need to go back and fix typos, errors, and formatting problems in earlier chapters. I noticed them when I put everything into Libreoffice. I plan on making the story into a Epub format when it's all done.

This kind of an issue that's been plaguing my other stuff too. I write my story in html format which doesn't give me access to autocorrect so I'm typing away, slip up or don't think and then when everything is published, I miss out on stuff unless I go through my texts and paragraphs.
