Lunch is my favourite. Nothing beats a fine sandwich with cheese.

Maybe the girl at the party will get jealous.

Value of art is always in the eye of the beholder. If many people see the value, then it receives that from the public.

I would not say AI generated art has the same value as the Mona Lisa per se, quite the contrary. I’m only declaring both as a form of art.

Yes, in the same way a field of corn on a farm can be seen as art. We do not have full control over how it actually looks in the end, but it’s an expression by natural phenomena (sometimes guided or initiated by humans).

You could argue about the amount of free will required to create art. But in that case one could philosophically raise the question if humans even have free will, and if anything may be called art then at all.

I think if something is observed as art, it is by definition art. And perhaps everything that exists and is created could fit that description. But personally one of the more interesting types of art to me are where living beings are involved in the creation, while they’re actually thinking of creating art; and I think most discussions are about that concrete level.

I’d say that open for discussion. Even taking a dump can be seen from the perspective of art, although I agree for us humans it’s quite far out there.

Perhaps to smallen the gap, think of a dung beetle rolling a ball of poo.

I’m not saying you have to like it or even that it’s noteworthy, but art in my opinion as definition can be anything that is created by something. As long as an observer looks at it as if it were art.

You’ve convinced me, your comment is objectively bad art.

I’d say everything is art, just on different levels to different people. Or nothing is art.

You forget the random book/magazine that’s read and the crosswords/doodling on paper.

Of course. Perhaps I should add that I’m not from a native-English speaking country. I’ve seen lots of times where people, mostly not so highly educated (which is a large segment of the population), just don’t see obvious satire as it is or in their hate make the jokes part of their argument set.

Partly because they only understand half of it or are willingly blinding themselves and just further fueling their rage.

Just saying, source / certificates might mitigate some of those issues or at least make them easier to debunk for the ones who they forward their ‘evidence’ too.

I’d like to believe that as well, but sadly I’ve seen even more obvious stuff that some of the people I know use to validate their world views, even when it’s clearly satire.

They just interpret the whole thing wrong and somehow filter jokes. And they use it, or parts of it, as fuel for their beliefs and share parts within their community without context.

I could see some harsh humour in it as well, but it should clearly be labeled “parody”. The way it was shared now is a terrible idea, but we’ve all seen it coming…

All media should have some securely signed source that’s easily viewable and pops up at the start and end of the video (and is visible in the pause screen or on hover, also in case of an image). If it was not signed it should show that as well, like web TLS certificates.

If no internet is available it should show that it cannot verify the source without a connection. There should also be a proposed default date in which the baked in certificate might get less secure, which should also show in the media.

96°F = 35.6°C

Chrome went to a :D above 99. But I believe they changed that, not sure as I use FF now too.

I’d say in the first picture he has a fake smile. I like the second one better.

What if it was a form of damage control, where they could claim in the future at lawsuits that they had total transparency at the time of the event.

Please, I’m kidding. But it would be interesting.

I imagine it started with some sub-installations actually giving approximations that were acceptable and summed up, but then some finalizing was not taken into account or something needed to be added after the other processes are finished, and the deadline was close. That last part builds up over time with other quick additions and some annoying stuff that is actually quite performance heavy and not easy to incorporate through the whole installation. “Let’s do it at the end as well.”

No time / budget to change the 100% to 99% as they have to adjust calculations based on the processes that actually do a good job. Although a display change could fake it, priorities are elsewhere.

I’ve tried to find sources for this, but all lead into a circle of people just saying this without providing an actual verifiable link or anything.

I read this as if she was on life support.

I… might have been that co-worker.
