Props to the woman asking the questions to the globalist guy. Clearly, the leader of a nation should put that nation first. The Trump hate is typically not very well thought out. While we do all live on the same Earth the idea of a one world government would be disasterous, the world is simply too big and must be governed in a subsidiary way, and nations--in all their unique situations and cultures--need to be governed by themselves. Get this globalist/communist nonsense out of here
I listened to this while making some AI art, the technology often gets frond upon for taking human creativity out of the artistic process, however, I would argue this isn't necessary always true, for example, I could quickly create a generic prompt, use generic "good practices" to remove "flaws" and get perfect but uninspired images I would hesitate calling art, and yes, the internet gets flooded with these types of images because of how easy they are to produce, people then react to these images thinking it's all the technology can do and think it's the end of creativity. I'm currently 6 hours into the prompt creation process, the process is about getting the models to create creative/original output in combination with high quality, I'm currently doing fine polish on what I call the "base-rigging", this is creating a complex web of associations which all contradict each-other yet somehow form a complete whole, the final result is a generic image with the twist that it is built from lots of little element that individually makes no sense, you could say I'm stitching together understanding from scratch, when the rigging is done I've a generic image but with a special feature, it's in high tension, any small shift in the prompt completely re-contextualizes the understanding. For all my work I create a situation where the AI as no clue what it's making, yet somehow just happens to create coherent images, this allows me to take control of the process and guide the creativity, with this, I'm able to explore far off-center into the subconscious of the models to find images the models would never draw on their own, I'm like an explorer and sometimes I find art. All this to say, perhaps AI can find a way to coexist with human creativity, perhaps it can evolve alongside us, perhaps we can develop better ways for it to serve our needs in non-intrusive ways. As for the video, summed up into one questions, we have "does errors in reasoning multiply as our reliance on technology increases?" I'd say yes, it's the natural course of everything to head towards decay, unless we act for a better tomorrow, we will lose the ability to think, hard-won freedoms and right, infrastructure, institutions, etc, looking at the world logically as it is now you'll always come to the conclusion that everything is heading towards decay, this was true even back during Socrates times, yet here we are, most future predictions fail not because they are illogical but because of new unexpected developments and because people fought to make the world a better place, and so perhaps we can put some faith in tomorrow as long as we work hard today.
Hi, all readings are from the anthology "Plato: Complete Works" edited by John M. Cooper, 1997, Hackett Publishing Company. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to find all of Plato's works in one place!
