    From what I've been seeing and reading lately, they are already running out of high quality human-produced material to train on -- copyrighted or not -- and will be cannibalizing AI-produced materials (and then re-cannibalizing those products, and so on). Basically a speed run of dead internet theory, same thing that was producing those Jesus-and-Crabs-in-everything pics that were pervasive a couple years ago.

  2. In Topic: Twelve Months

    I get what Cause is saying though -- he's not using "fridge" in the same way as that critical lens, but is talking about removing the person from action and then (at least potentially) plopping them back in at a later date. I think -- at least among other things -- that might be called putting someone in the icebox! Which is kinda funny -- an almost identical term to fridging for a completely different phenomenon.

    My post is the title of a great book I read since my previous post.

    To a certain degree, the ethics are irrelevant. Artists can sample, reference, iterate, pay homage, recycle, copy, and yes even steal. To varying degrees of quality for sure, but also irrelevant. Bad art is still art. Personally I don't even necessarily draw a hard line between art and commerce, where I'm sure others might.

    But the bottom line is this: People -- and only people - make art. Machines aren't people. Therefore machines don't make art. Nothing they generate is art.

    Sorry, I meant to say "as the cat and world expand..."

    On further reflection, maybe not so much "jolly good" as "the whole situation sucks but I'm very glad you and yours are safe and I'm sorry to hear that people you know where impacted, but again I'm glad they are safe".

    hey mate, I know you're in a vast sandy wasteland but I hope you and yours are OK during these fires. I note some aren't that far away from you. Take care.

    Hah, western north south west. Nice. Hadn't thought of it that way.
    Sometimes us from regional New South Wales refer to NSW as Newcastle Sydney Wollongong - the main metro areas that get all the attention from govt and the media, the rest of the state being "here be dragons" as far as they are concerned. :P

    If it's all the same to you, I'd like 2022 to be very low on surprises ...
    Except the lottery-winning kind. I'd like at least a big pleasant surprise there.

    Yes mate, so far so good thanks. Don't want to say more as I'd rather not tempt fate.
