Civility is bullshit when dealing with conservatives. It's their excuse to never listen to ideas they don't like. "You weren't nice in explaining that my views are bigoted, racist, classist, and cause harm."

Gritmonger ๐ต (@gritmonger.bsky.social)
People who want to call themselves AI "artists" lack any self reflection. To make an effort at art is to look at and through yourself to project your intent. Yelling at a computer doesn't qualify. For the same reason, someone who commissions art is not the artist even if they own the piece.#AIslop

I'm shocked they don't have their own gated community of social media where rich people talk. Except that they'd all expect sycophants and none of them usually praise anyone else. They'd end up paying a grifter class to grovel. Hmm. This explains a lot of AI.
