I think the "11 year old killed" part is the one that should make you feel bad.

The influencer part is pretty irrelevant to the overall issue here, even if it might be relevant to other aspects of the story.

Reading the article I don't see any support for your argument. It just seems like a arsenal strawman.

The article talks about getting more young people into political positions, and about having politicians generally stay in office until they die of old age is causing political stagnation.

It's not like it argues you can't serve past a certain age, just that it shouldn't be an exclusive old-people's club.

Man, the disrespect. His wife is right next to him, and even picked her sexy Halloween outfit just for him.

Presumably because mania is a key part of the cult, and many portrayals in media use the behavioural signs of mania to convey evil.

Although I'm sure plenty of people might look a little manic if they were pictured while handed a lot of money with a big debacle made out of it.

If all children of American politicians were legally required to attend public schools and integrate into common classes I think we’d see sweeping implementation of gun laws real quick. Might also force them to improve the quality of public schools.

Some good answers, but I also want to point out that this isn't actually a universal need.

I think that our social nature, and the way most societies and communities work (particularly in countries that subscribe to exceptionalism) makes them prone to developing these feelings, but they very much are not universal and can even be unleaned.

If you can't live off of doing something, you cannot dedicate very much time to it and not everyone will have a fulfilling life doing what they want on only a hobby basis.

It is not to the benefit of everyone, if most people in that sector lose their jobs they've spent all their working life striving to master. Artist still do commissioned work today.

If there is only only going to be a small niche of people able to do it, it will displaced all the rest of the people currently working in that industry. In which case AI is literally stopping people from doing art for a living, if they can get paid to do it.

People who followed their idea for a fulfilling life

I don't know about you, but I want AI to do the tasks in my life that prevents me from living a fulfilling life. I don't want it to do the things that I would have made my life fulfilling for me.

I think we might be coming at this from a different angle. You seem to think only about whether art will survive, whereas I'm thinking of the artists.

I wasn't commenting on the article or it's contents. Although I do find it interesting and is something I intend to keep an eye on.

I was simply responding to another comment, which also wasn't directly related to the article.

The issue isn't ego from any artists I've talked to. The issue is that most enjoy DOING their art for a living, and AI threatening their ability to make a living doing the thing they love, by actively taking their work and emulating it.

Add to that, that no one seems to believe AI does a better job than a trained artist, and it also threatens to lower the quality bar at the top end.

Personally I think that if AI is free to use and any work done by AI cannot be covered by copyright (due to being trained on people's art against their will), then I don't have an issue with it.

My basic view of India is of a super diverse country with a fascinating history and cultures, and really great food. Politically I see a country that unfortunately is leaning in a more authoritarian direction as time goes one, and one that is getting increasingly unequal to its inhabitants. I really think India has so much potential but little will to actually improve.

Do you mean back when he played a caricature of a conservative "talking head"?

On the Hobbit movies, I don't even think studio meddling was the biggest issue.

Peter Jackson had so much time to prepare for the original trilogy, where as he took over the Hobbit movies quite soon before they were scheduled to shoot and he couldn't use the preparation the previous director had done.

So he had no time to prepare and basically had to wing it with 3 movies and little to no prep.
