@suqdiq I'd go a step further and say it's #code for #marginalizing an entire #group

or #subset

of the #HumanClass

#progressives, or say, #free #thinkers

that #think for #themselves having #awoke aka #woke from their #slumber much like #Nada did in #TheyLive after having put on the #sunglasses instead of #following the #crowd #asleep

#mindlessly #consuming #conforming

They are free, #FreeThinkers

#marching to a #new #beat ( #ideals )

Typically, those #antiWoke are #white

But there's plenty of #religous #factions that fall into the anti-woke #crowd for the #shared #sentiment of being #different

Plus, it's just easier saying woke than it is #supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Could you #imagine if people broke into #song like that in #mke ???

You'd hear, This ain't #nyc and you're not in #TimesSquare #FancyPants

So, #powerOff #Smiley !!

Are men and women really that different or are we just conforming to the expectations of society?

As my timeline is overflowing again with supposedly #artist statements on how they fear #AI would supersede them.
Do you really value your own work that low? Is it so #generic that an AI could replace you anytime? If that truly and actually is the case, probably #arts aren't the right thing for you ​:trollface:​

But seriously, people that #fearmonger over AI replacing artists seem to neither understand how AI works, nor creative processes.
What we call AI has nothing to do with #creativity, let alone intelligence or smartness. It just "knows" how certain colours and colour combinations are preferred, how certain word combinations get more positive or more negative feedback etc. Because some person or algorithm put those values in its database. Basically anything that can be evaluated by number values of sorts. It does not understand how and why, it only "knows", because it's trained for that.

Actual creative processes on the other hand aren't really about the result itself. They're literally about the process, about putting your #emotions into your work, for the better or worse, thinking about and feeling what you want to express, not about what may be pleasing to others, that's just a convenient byproduct more often than not.
And there'll always be people that are able to distinguish between a piece of art with blood, sweat, and tears of the creator and something that is generated for the sole purpose of pleasing people. I personally don't mind the latter being created by a machine and I'll also happily consume it if it triggers the right things for me, but that is what at best probably could be classified as #craftsmanship, the implementation of #rules and #techniques, not #art.

One very widely accepted definition of art is #irritation, the (more or less) deliberate violation of #conventions and rules while #conforming to others. A machine - per definition - cannot do that. It has to be made a rule to break a specific rule, which leads the whole concept of rule-breaking ad absurdum, PLUS it skips the whole creative process.
The one thing AI can take away from artists however is a(n easy) way to generate #funds for making art. This indeed is something that should IMO be up for debate on a broad basis as I don't see any easy or immediate solution to that but it likely has to be addressed by society as a whole.

TL;DR: A machine cannot create or replace art. These claims are just nonsense.

When you have a choice to make, what you focus on matters.

There's the choice you think you have to make and then there is the choice you want to make.

You make the choice you have to make when you focus on problems. Your focus on the problems keeps you feeling like you need to conform to avoid pain.

You make the choice you want to make when you focus on what you want to happen, how you want to feel, and the direction you want to go in. You're no longer trapped and not conforming to pain. Now you have your freedom back.

Your focus matters when you make choices because it affects the choice you make.

What are you focusing on and how is it affecting your choices?

Love to all.

Do you know what my schedule has been lately? 11am to about 2 or 3am.

Why?

Because I prefer that.

For years I made myself conform to the rest of the world. Heck I chose a profession that has an early morning start time. I took on jobs with "normal" start times. It's taken me a long time to make my desire for this weird schedule okay within myself.

When did I decide I liked these kinds of hours?

In my 20's when I was working at what was then Safeway in Brandon. I liked the later hours. I preferred the afternoon and evening shifts. I didn't mind closing the store at 11pm. That's when I realized how much I thought 9-5pm sucked.

My problem with allowing myself to do this came down to my need to "follow the rules". I had to do it right and that meant having a 9-5pm Monday to Friday job. Anything that wasn't that wasn't right. It wasn't a good job and I needed to get a better one. I know that's not true, but that was the story I told myself.

Where are you still conforming in your own life? Where can you free yourself to do your own thing your own way? What's stopping you?

Freedom is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself.

Love to all.

Della
