  • i agree llms can’t do shit right now, what I was talking about was a hypothetical future in which somehow these useless techbros found a way to make them worth a shit. they certainly would be able to make a logical program work than infuse any artistic value into any audio or image.

    programs can be written to respond to a need that can be detected and analyzed and solved by a fairly advanced computer. art needs intent, a desire to create art, whether to convey feelings, or to make a statement, or just ask questions. programs can’t want, feel or wonder about things. they can pretend to do so but we all know pretending isn’t highly valued in art.












  • not with this level of education and apathy. you make a new party, for everyone who’s heard of it, there’s going to be a thousand who haven’t, and even if they see your name on the ballot and like you they’ll just vote dem because they’re gonna think that’s what they should do.

    remember that Google search for “did Biden drop out” peaked on election day, lots of people found out only when they saw the fucking ballot.



  • it definitely changes by the guest imo. although I have a number of favorites, ben sparks to me is the absolute best. he not only explains things in simple terms but often has these programs to help you visualize things to intuitively understand them in some capacity, and also adds a narrative that’s really interesting to follow.

    he often talks about things he discovered while messing around with his programs, so he can tell an engaging story by walking the viewer through the thread that he himself went through, encountering mysteries and making discoveries. he’s a math story wizard.

    there are many other guests who are really fun to listen to as well. and a couple that unfortunately just easily gets into advanced math that completely loses me and leaves me more confused than before the first minute.
