-= Examining The Stereotypes About AI Artists =-

Short ๐Ÿงต, as I noticed many people seem to have some strong stereotypes about the #aiartcommunity , and was curious how true the are. To that effect, I conducted polls on the #StableDiffusion Reddit asking three questions.

#AIArt
Stereotype #1: "AI artists are mostly men!"

This appears to be true... at least with the caveat that Reddit itself also skews male (2:1). This one concerns me, as art today is quite well gender-balanced, and I don't want to see a skew if AI takes over. Hopefully this will shift. Image
Stereotype #2: #AIArtists aren't artists!"

Even before the advent of AI art, only 1/5th of respondents reported that they weren't artists at all. 79% at least dabbled, 56% were regular art creators, including 22% that were professionals. Image
"Stereotype #3: AI artists are crypto bros!"

Nope, nope, NOPE. 3 out of 5 didn't just respond "No" to being into crypto or NFTs, but outright choose "Crypto and NFTs can go die in a ditch". Only 6,4% are "into" crypto or NFTs. Image

@RPeacockCJ @cossackgundi @elonmusk First, apparently you're unaware that Russia hacked Viasat at the start of the war, and it was SpaceX's sudden intervention with Starlink that ruined their plans by keeping the comms up.

@RPeacockCJ @cossackgundi @elonmusk Secondly, that's a lie. 3/4ths of the Starlink receivers were donated by SpaceX. Only 1/4th by USAID, after the fact. Exactly what would have made you happy - for SpaceX to refuse to sell to USAID, so that people like you don't badmouth them?
@RPeacockCJ @cossackgundi @elonmusk And to head you off, while normal users buy the dishes for $600, they cost $1000 to make, with the subsidy being paid for by the $110/mo service fee. USAID paid $1500 per dish but got the service included.

It's long past time that we had an unambiguous deterrent: NATO troops on the ground. Not involved in combat, far from the front, but equipped and instructed to defend themselves if attacked.

An example possibility. ImageImage
In the north, a ~50km buffer in most locations would generally stay out of Belarussian artillery range (except long-range rocket artillery, such as Smerch) and include the Rivne nuclear power plant and all major roads to Poland. An exception would be Chernobyl. Ukrainian forces.. Image
... along this border would be freed to move to other fronts.

Along the Russian border, a longer 100km (or even longer) distance could be maintained. Exceptions need to be made to protect Sumy and Kharkiv and the roads leading to them. Image

People are citing this to prove that fleeing Russians are evil. I find this sad. He's repeating the state's fake news propaganda that Ukraine invaded THEM on behalf of America. Not a very smart or worldly person - exactly the sort of person state propaganda is aimed at.
And the thing is, this works. Were Germans in the 1930s evil? No, they were *lied to* to manipulate them. Most believed the state line that Poland *invaded them*. That Poland was committing genocide against Germans and crossed their borders. ImageImage
Everyone in the above thread is raging against this guy, but he's just a victim of state propaganda.

Would living overseas change anything? Unclear. Some integrate and broaden their horizons. Others don't integrate at all and continue to believe polished state propaganda lies.

@treygahigh @TaraBull808 @elonmusk @theliamnissan @RBReich Define "wealthy".

Wealthier than the average South African? Sure. Super-wealthy. No. Robert-Reich-level wealthy? No. On the decline (eventually to bankruptcy) by the time Elon moved out as a teen, which he did without his father's support and with $2k to his name.
@treygahigh @TaraBull808 @elonmusk @theliamnissan @RBReich The thing is, there would be a good conversation to have here about the nature of privilege. Did Elon have privileges that, say, the average black South African living in a township didn't? *Absolutely*. And going to private school (despite him being veritably tortured there)...
@treygahigh @TaraBull808 @elonmusk @theliamnissan @RBReich and having access to computers, books, a father with an engineering background (though Elon despised him as evil), etc - plus the ability to seek Canadian citizenship due to his mother - gave him the background and opportunities that the average person just didn't have.

As Trevor Milton's fraud trial continues, here's to remembering that time during Nikola's IPO where Trevor entrapped an old friend, leading to him committing suicide, to shut him up about Trevor's past sexual misbehavior.

RIP, Jonny Robb.
