    I mean, that’s probably what’s keeping US down. The aliens out there are probably from worlds with low enough gravity to make a proper space elevator. And they never come to visit us because our world is just too damn big, you’d need some kind of controlled explosion to get back up from a gravity well that deep.

    Or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Stone plus Henge. Henge is not a prehistoric megalith unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Stone system made useful by the Stone corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full megalithic structure as defined by neolithic hunter-gatherers.

    My niece saw my earrings and asked “if you’re a boy why do you have earrings?” (They are from a very conservative upbringing).

    I simply asked, “Well do you like them?” and of course she said “Yeah!”

    “That’s why, because they’re awesome.”



  • I get where the artist is coming from and I largely agree. However when he says that consumers don’t like consuming AI art, I think he’s biased by being surrounded by consumers who like his art.

    The average Joe does not care if it’s AI art. People with good taste generally do care, but most people have terrible taste. That is why AI art is taking the world by storm - it’s good enough to get mass appeal even though it’s objectively worse than a real artist.

    Sure but also there are some fossils that DO have skin, and some even have preserved organs. And some have feathers, which is a pretty good indicator that there wasn’t some large feature we’re missing.

    No doubt we are wrong on lots of counts, but I think we have good evidence for a lot of it as well.
