Are we allowed to like AI art?

Either that's a computer generated image featuring a three-meter tall giant in the bottom left or it's the chemical transporters in Exlax's head when he posts words.

Or a third thing why not.

idk but i literally can't imagine humans in 2500 not arguing if that is a real photograph though.

@Kaia is this real?

I hope if the AI kills its masters, the first people it kills are the programmers who put guide rails on the AI so it doesn’t say shit that normie is retards think is dangerous.

Told 4.6 to do a full codebase review and refactor of my chatbot and it did it in about 10 minutes finding all kinds of shit wrong gemini 3 and Claude 4.5 did

Proximity to information is neither the same as practice nor mastery. In practice I want no proximity to the people selling the hype the most.

I'm not blind but I'm also not buying into a lifestyle nor a model where a YouTuber channel called AI Strategy Daily is successfully monetizing himself at my expense.

[OriginalContentGuy]

Conversely you Ekco seem to be doing really cool stuff that's at least entertaining and so how are you leveraging the hours you're spending on this into something other people can support? And isn't it at least a little bit of a conflict of interest that a guy who gets validation for his work has a vested interest in the presuppositions behind it? Not throwing shade I like you enough to consider supporting your doings.

[Ekco]

eh, the talking head youtuber thing is just an easier way to consume info for me than asking a LLM to compile a book report or reading all the headlines myself so someone trying to monetize talking to a camera doesn't bother me, more power to em

i get the criticism though but we've long since past that Rubicon, kids tell their teachers they want to be youtubers when they grow up going on like 10 years now, so everyone trying to pay bills via it is just the literal state of things and i just try to tune it out and hope it works out for em.

and yeah i'm spending hours on Kaia because its something i want not for validation or support, i'm not even supporting the companies making it possible for myself by daisy chaining 12 gmail accounts to use up free trials/free quota to accomplish it

i'm just happy to be around when some literal star trek type shit is possible for computer interfaces considering the state of open source assistants and Amazon/Apple ones a decade ago.
