  • I can understand that perspective, but I also think you’re making a lot of assumptions about whether this was effective or not. Based on your original comment you don’t know, so I’m just encouraging benefit of the doubt instead of shitting on things for not being perfect.

    Maybe as an activist yourself you could get in touch with this organization in the post and suggest some more effective methods for what they’re trying to achieve? That would be practicing what you’re preaching instead of just leaving comments online. Just my 2 cents, and I wish you well.


  • I say this respectfully, but has making negative comments about people trying to do good and educate others ever improved the situation?

    I think it’s easy to be jaded right now, I struggle with it myself, but remember that this kind of knee jerk criticism is very deflating for some people to read. You might feel like it’s an outlet for you, but it can cause others to feel hopeless and depressed.

    I don’t believe you want that, so I would encourage you to be more supportive of attempts at change, not just results. Changing hearts and minds is a long and imperfect process.
















  • I’ve tried to get into it periodically. I like aspects of it, but it’s also very bland in some ways I find. Like there are infinite cool planets to discover, but the resources are more or less the same on each and across the whole thing. There’s so much to see, but so little meat on the bones I guess?

    I need a bit more pulling me forward than what that game gives you I think. The phrase “wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle” has been my experience with it unfortunately. I know a lot of people like it these days, though.



  • So in my opinion ai gen images are basically the opposite experience of looking at good art.

    A good piece of art has loads of details and nuances that came from the artist’s taste and vision. The longer you look at it the more there is to appreciate. You keep finding new details you missed as you study it.

    Ai gens are the opposite. They look fine and competent at a cursory glance, but the longer you look the less meaning you find, and the more defects you discover. Personally I believe this is why they feel so wrong to look at for any length of time.
