Why Bitcoin matters for human rights, in two minutes.

The more I meet people who've gone deep into generating AI media, the more I realize we're all reaching the same conclusion: this is a new medium. Not an evolution of something else. Something entirely new, the way photography and film were new. To understand any medium, you

Mat Dryhurst Any artist knows that the Platonic view of ideation and inspiration is correct - everything is already within the mind of God/the One and then the Nous which is the highest faculty of the human soul makes ideas/inspiration intelligible to the individual person to be transmitted

This might be one of the best reviews of the film festival so far. It points to something I've been waiting to hear for a long time. That pattern of aesthetic/cultural gatekeeping that greets every technological disruption in art history. This type of commentary always arrives

What if, at the end of our life, we’re not being asked “were you happy?” or “what did you achieve?” or “were you a good person?” but rather “what did you learn?”. And then being sent out into another life to apply what we learned?

You can read Carl Jung 100 times and still be blown away at the 101st

Incredibly grateful to J.K. Rowling for Order of the Phoenix. It gave me language & illustrative examples to talk to my children about fascism. “Omg, she wants to control everything!” says my 10-year old. Yep. She’ll be ready to recognize a real-world Umbridge when she’ll see one.

Ed Newton-Rex It’s so funny to watch people like you and random magazine writers try to pretend artists aren’t artists and that you guys have the authority to deem who is an artist and who isn’t and what constitutes as art 🤣 Futurism Not sure if you guys are aware of this but art is

It all comes down to most humans' inability to hold two competing thought in one's had at the same time. Yes, 'artisanal art' has value AI can't replicate. Yet working, directing and curating with AI is still a creative expression in its own right. There's a place for both.

This guy gets it. We’ve been warning the artists who are supporting copyright lawsuits against AI that this is exactly what would happen. Instead of democratization of opportunities for everyone we’ll get more centralization and power for media houses. A disaster.
