  • As much as I like a lot of surrealist art, they really were up their own ass. The real disruptors were the Dadaists. They were the final word on disruption, and the contemporary art world has been trying to out-do them with increasingly infantile and outrageous stunts passed off as serious art. Dada laughed at it all and mocked the art world.

  • I agree with your first sentence. I don't agree with the bit about aesthetics. There's lots of "pretty" art that has plenty of staying power. Just look at the Impressionists. Beauty can resonate just as powerfully as any "challenging" art. I'm sure the Romanticists would agree. Disruption also says nothing. Disrupting to what and who?

  • When will people stop setting the bar for usability at "can be used be old people"? I'm 53, and I guess that makes me an old person, but I suspect I know more about computers than many so-called digital natives. I can also tell you my 80-year-old dad can barely use an Android device. What happens when all the "old-people" are gone? What is the bar then? How about all the younger folk that don't understand anything you can't swipe? Is Windows or Mac any better in these cases (no, the answer is no)? Maybe we should have a Playskool type UI?

    Additionally, when will people stop using and linking to bullshit sites like Medium that constantly pester with pop-ups demanding my email and money?

  • I’m an artist and I can guarantee his lawsuits will accomplish jack squat for people like me. In fact, if successful, it will likely hurt artists trying to adapt to AI. Let’s be serious here, copyright doesn’t really protect artists, it’s a club for corporations to swing around to control our culture. AI isn’t the problem, capitalism is.

  • I created an account just to answer this. They can short. We had a string of these, and it shorted and nearly caught the tinsel on fire. They weren't man-handled, in fact we were extra-careful with them, because they were so thin and fragile-looking. These are dangerous. Do not use them.
