Not enough people recognize that “better than every human at any intellectual task” includes seducing your girlfriend

The impact of my articles so vastly outweighs the impact of my posts that I don’t know why I post at all

So many problems in the world today. But I gotta keep my head down and focus on the 2 I might actually solve

When AI automated art, the artists gave philosophical criticisms. “It lacks intentionality” “It lacks humanity” “It lacks a social context”
When AI automated math, the mathematicians gave philosophical criticisms
When AI automates philosophy… ?

AI art is theft. But also, Borges once said: good artists copy. Great artists steal
This is only possible by using an existing video.
Below is the source video, Russian Roulette by @KotteAnimation.
The bigger picture here is how easy it has become with AI workflows to take an existing scene and completely reskin it while keeping the original motion and choreography.
Yes, bypass all the complex prompting.

“Math isn’t a scarce resource, but art might be” yet another idea Theo implanted in my head and forced me to say out loud
.@wordgrammer on why math isn't a scarce resource, and why art might be:
"Math is a very powerful cultural institution. It is sacred. We care about it, not necessarily because it leads to useful outcomes, but because it is beautiful."
"You stop viewing math as a competition, and you start viewing math as an unlimited resource towards which humans and AI can work together forever. Math is inexhaustible. There are an infinite number of true statements about the world."
"Competing over math as if it was a scarce resource, I think is a little bit of a silly thing to do. Art, I think, is maybe not so infinite, 'cause there's a finite amount of attention that humans have."

These text summaries are so much better than what I actually said. Thank you MTS for making me look good
.@wordgrammer on how “AI art is theft” became a lasting reputational problem for AI, and why the same mistake is now repeating with mathematicians:
"I compare it to a leaky pipe. A lot of people in the AI industry completely forgot about the, quote, steal from artists issue, and I think that artists never quite got over that."
"The damage to the reputation of the AI industry has in very large part been driven by artists who that initial starting point rubbed the wrong way. They've used all their cultural influence and capital to turn people against AI."
"Something very similar is happening right now with mathematicians. It would be easy to fix it right now and address the issues of mathematicians."
"If it goes untouched, over the course of a year, maybe two years, maybe three years, the public's perception of AI will be just so bad that it might be impossible to break."

There is the kernel of an interesting idea here, but I normally delete 90% of what I write. Live shows catch you with your pants down, you’re forced to give your stream of consciousness
.@wordgrammer says AI art should steal Adobe’s playbook: stop competing on infinite content and make Hollywood-level creation accessible to everyone.
"Adobe products took Hollywood technology and they just made it accessible to the world at large. This seemed to be a really, really good business model."
"The majority of the techniques used by influencers, by video editors, by marketers over the past 20 years have been cropping videos, editing B-roll. Significantly less time has been spent towards just taking a single 30-second long clip and making them fantastic."
"Until every single video in the world looks like Hollywood, there's no sense competing over art as if it's a scarce resource."
