Originally posted by trippymindfuk Sounds kinda interesting but I think it's really really weird, I guess is the best word to use, that AI is starting to get really really mainstream or whatever but it seems like it's mostly being used to create different mediums of art. Music and stuff like that that's AI generated will have no soul. There seems like there's better applications for AI instead of that kind of stuff but who knows
lol lmao
My brudder, please reconsider your view of art: 99% of art being made already has no soul. You think the guy writing the upbeat track for a corporate seminar's introductory video was really feeling it? No. You think the people drawing the ubiquitous flat modern corporate clipart are really pouring their hearts and souls into it? No. This goes back centuries, too - artists need to eat, so they'll paint your cat if you pay their rent for the month. Do they care about your cat? Are they really feeling a "cat" vibe today? Does it have literally anything to do with them other than their technical proficiency with a brush and desire for your wallet's contents? Fuck no. The art is entirely external from the soul.
The most you can hope for with commissioned work is that it's a paid opportunity for artists to hone their craft, try out new techniques, etc. Within reason, of course. They still have a customer to please - assuming they want to eat - so they usually don't go hawg wild. (Notable exception: the Mona Lisa was a commission for an Italian noble. Of course, Da Vinci also kept the painting instead of giving it to her, and is it even a commission at that point? Technically, maybe. In spirit? Doesn't seem like it.)
PS: This isn't even getting into the argument for AI art that I personally consider most persuasive, namely "it's just another tool for artists and would-be artists". If you have beauty in your head but have hands made of lead, why should your soul never see itself expressed in the material world? It's not like the AI is spitting this stuff out without oversight or input. Someone is guiding the AI to create an image they want to see. No different from guiding a paintbrush (or a human artist on commission, as it were).
PPS: Classic brush-and-easel painters said the same thing about digital artists 20 years ago. That it was "soulless". I wonder... how many people said graphic art and digital paintings were soulless, then went on to receive great acclaim for their soulful artwork? I'm guessing very few.

2023-01-29 at 1:28 PM UTC in Blarb SurplusYeah, great, whatever. Good for you. A surplus for you just means harder times for me, dickhead. I've been fucking around with making a website for no particular reason, and we're so short on blarbs over here that I had to grind the corners off my 404cat and make due with those.

Originally posted by aldra I've noticed it seems fairly common for self-labeled 'incels' to obsess over girls that aren't available to them like instagram sloots or old family friends who've since moved away or gotten married. they don't even bother to try to meet new people, assuming that everyone else is just as unavailable to them
Alternatively, they're desperate for a really basic kind of validation that almost everyone else has received, and the only people who can give them that validation at this point are the people they've been obsessing over for years (because they're socially stunted, psychosexually maladapted scum floating on the surface of the human genepool). -

Go fuck a postitute and realize it aint all that
Typical 'sex haver' shit. Don't get me wrong though, you ain't wrong exactly.
It's just that for a lot of these dudes... it's not exclusively about sex in the sense of the raw mechanical act of thrusting one's dick into someone - it's about someone wanting to have sex with them. Incels don't go crazy from a lack of thrusting into warm holes. They die the slow death by 1000 cuts of realizing with relative certainty they are unlovable. It is psychological torment from which they can never escape. Every day that passes is another piece of empirical data suggesting that they will never find a willing partner. Imagine running a scientific experiment every day of your life, and the results of that experiment determined whether or not you were worthless in your own eyes (and certainly in the eyes of prospective partners). Now imagine getting the same result every damn day: worthless.
"Go fuck a postitute and realize it aint all that"? Obviously it ain't all that. That's partly why they ain't all doing that. You've got a baby mama, neh? You have an ex at least. You've experienced normal human psychosexual development ("normal" - maybe some fucked up shit happened to you as a kid or something, but you are an actual developed human being in this regard, and incels ain't). Inceldom is "being 13 years old and hearing your friends talk about kissing a girl but you haven't kissed someone yet" writ large. It's that little pang of panic and inadequacy that most dude are only capable of feeling for a couple years from 12 onward until they get laid, but it's forever (until it isn't, but they've got every reason to believe it'll be forever). -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Exwife #2 when I met her was mid 120s.."we" managed to get her down to 98lb by the time of divorce by good diet/exercise and psychological abuse. She was 5'5"…at mid 120s she certainly had 'extra' flesh on her (by my standards). When sitting on my lap I'd grab her belly and have the natural fold in my hand and say "jesus fatty"…at 98lbs her body was as tight as a jedis purse and you couldn't do that.
5'5" and 98 lbs is genuinely unhealthily underweight dude. You suck. BMI of 16.3? And don't tell me 'BMI is worthless' or whatever, BMI is only worthless in the sense that a "300lb dude" could be a body builder or a walking sack of shit and lard - it's worthless on the high end of the scale. There's no combination of fat and muscle that could conceivably make a 98lb, 5'5" adult adult seem healthy.
(Probably still more healthy than being a fatass like me though, and at least being underweight meant she was probably really pretty in a sickly waifish kind of way. Feederism is so much worse.) -

Originally posted by WellHung Not for me. That's for sure.
if there were a defining trait of this community, i think it's fairly self-evident (given our attrition losses) that survival is not a particularly strong drive for us. and by merit of posting here in the first place, it's equally self-evident that we are not seeking status (nobody who is genuinely conscious of their status would risk exposure as a user here).
every status seeking social climber normie who joins this community leaves the community (and comes back once every 6 months to "brag" to the autistic schizoid weirdo fuckheads who remain here about what a normie they are now, then fucks off again). -

2023-01-25 at 8:03 PM UTC in If you have less than 2.1 children and complain about immigrantsThen again, as a staunch antivitalist I wholeheartedly approve of the self-termination of any gene-line. Indeed, if you've gone so far as to be antinatalist, you should go one step further and self-terminate your life.

Doesn't matter how much of a hassle they are, and "muh overpopulation" is a retarded myth. Literally sticking your head into the jaws of the Malthusian trap - willingly. Good luck with that.)
