"Using LLMs to create art misses the point, because it looks at art only as a product. [I wrote my first novel] not to produce a book to sell, but for the satisfaction of having written a novel, and feeling the accomplishment in learning how to do it... The purpose of writing all those books in my earlier years wasn't to produce somthing that would sell, it was to turn me into someone who could create great art.

AI steal the opportunity for growth from us. The books aren't the product. They aren't the art. The most important thing to understand is that the process of creating art makes art of you. The book, the painting, the film script is not the only art, it is a receipt, a diploma. The book you write, the painting you create, the music you compose is a market proof that you have done the work to learn, because in the end of it all, you are the art. The most important change made by an artistic endeavor is the change it makes in you.

It doesn't matter that AI can create something that is better than what we can create because it cannot be changed by that creation. Writing a prompt for an LLM will not make an artist of you because if you haven't done the hard part, the machine will have done the hard part for you, and it doesn't care. It could be writing a shopping list, or a story, it cannot be changed by creating a new work. It will not learn, it will not grow, it will not care.

Art is useless, as Oscar Wilde said, therefore we have the power here and not the machine, for it was created to try to make something useful - but it cannot admire what it made.

We make art because we can't help it, it's part of us, . We understand what it is, we are drawn to it because we care of the same substance. We are the art."

Art is not just the product, it is the process used by the HUMAN who made the product and what is made of that human.

A doctor's duty is to the patient, not the state.

From Jessica Valenti's substack:

Here is some really big deal good news: In the wake of abortion bans forcing doctors into the impossible situation of deciding whether to treat their patients or break the law, the American Medical Association urging physicians to put their patients first. At the AMA’s 2022 interim meeting this month, the agency amended their ethical guidance to doctors on abortion. From AMA President Jack Resneck Jr., MD: “Under extraordinary circumstances, the ethical guidelines of the profession support physician conduct that sides with their patient’s safety and health, acknowledging that this may conflict with legal constraints that limit access to abortion or reproductive care,” he said.

To put it plainly: They’re telling doctors that to provide ethical care, they might have to break the law. The AMA also says they will offer support to doctors, including legal support and pathways for doctors-in-training to learn abortion services if they live in a state where abortion is illegal. All of the language is pretty dry and corporate—but the sentiment is super powerful.

In honor of a bunch of weirdly aggressive posts I've seen this past week:

Is smoking weed in non-smoking locations, including indoor concerts, rude?

Yes

No

I'm going to leave a comment on this specifically because it was a really big problem for me when I worked in Event Services, and I want smokers of all sorts to fucking understand something.

Not everyone has a good time with marijuana. I personally get extremely nauseous from prolonged exposure to it, and headaches.

I also had to work as Firewatch frequently in live concerts, which were held in an indoor venue much like a warehouse. ANY GA event with a fairly young demographic, and my whole fucking night was calling in substance use alerts to security, who couldn't do much of anything to stamp it out.

Understand that even if you are in a huge indoor venue, the ventilation is NOT good enough with so many other people in there for you to argue that your smoke and smell isn't going to bother anyone. IT BOTHERS EVERYONE. THIS INCLUDES VAPING.

I would be feeling so fucking ill by the time I'd take my half hour, and more often than not these concerts were 8 hour shifts from start to finish, so even when the concert is over and you've gone. that smoke is still fucking hanging around, and so are the symptoms of reactions to it. And Firewatch HAS to be in the building so long as anyone else is.

Fucking MISERABLE shifts, all because you think you need to get your hit while listening to live music in order to enjoy it for some fucking reason. Willing to bet plenty of patrons who paid money to enjoy those bands also had their time ruined by people deciding that smoking/vaping in an enclosed space where they had no way to get away from the smell and smoke was totally fine.

Not even getting into the safety risk part that necessitated having Firewatch wardens on shift for idiot shitheads who think lighting shit up inside is a good idea.

I literally couldn't give a fuck if you like to smoke pot, I am pro legalising it, but I want to rend you limb from limb with my teeth if you ever think its OK to smoke indoors or in ANY space where other people do not have the option of getting away from you, which is MOST communal/crowded spaces.

Don't be an absolute fuckshit. Smoke or vape your crap at home or in your car or off in a side street BEFORE you go to the concert and DO NOT, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SMOKE IN A FUCKING MUSIC VENUE. EVEN outdoors. People CANNOT get away from you and you are pissing off and ruining the fun of every asthmatic and every person who has bad reactions to your substance.

Have some basic fucking consideration for other people I am BEGGING you.

SMOKING WEED IS STILL SMOKING.

Non-smoking spaces exist because many people are immediately negatively affected by the presence of smoke secondhand. Including but not limited asthmatics, people with lung diseases, elderly people, and babies/children.

I don’t care if it’s legal or if weed doesn’t have carcinogens baked into it or you don’t believe in contact highs or whatever, it is not about any of that. “There is smoke here” is enough to be a problem for lots and lots of people! Any smoke!

If an area says “no smoking” DO NOT SMOKE ANYTHING THERE. And for that matter, don’t vape either.
