“The difference between an artist who finds sales and someone like Vincent van Gogh, who never did, is that van Gogh quietly changed the world—while others simply passed through it.”
“So bullshitting isn’t just nonsense. It’s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. And bullshit isn’t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, so much as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about. In that sense, bullshitting can be thought of as a verbal demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect—when people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result.”
“You have to be objective about money to use it fairly. It doesn’t make you any better or any more useful than any other person. Even if you use your money to help people…that doesn’t make you better than somebody who has no money but is sympathetic and genuinely loving to fellow human beings.”
AI works by processing large amounts of data, recognizing patterns, and making predictions or decisions based on that information. The main types of AI include:
Machine Learning (ML): AI models are trained on data to recognize patterns and improve over time. This includes deep learning, which uses neural networks to process complex data like images and language.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): This allows AI to understand and generate human language, enabling applications like chatbots, translation tools, and voice assistants.
Computer Vision: AI can analyze and interpret images or videos, used in facial recognition, medical imaging, and self-driving cars.
Reinforcement Learning: AI learns by trial and error, receiving rewards or penalties for its actions, similar to how humans learn new skills.
In general, AI doesn’t “think” like humans—it processes data statistically to make predictions or generate responses. Some AI systems, like mine, use a mix of pre-trained knowledge and real-time internet searches to provide answers.
donotdestroy.com has an art and design style that feels raw, experimental, and conceptually driven. It embraces a mix of digital and physical mediums, often incorporating elements of glitch aesthetics, bold typography, and abstract compositions. The works tend to challenge traditional design norms, sometimes featuring chaotic layering, deconstructed visuals, and unconventional color palettes. There’s a strong sense of rebellion against overly polished commercial design, leaning more toward an underground, almost DIY ethos. It aligns with avant-garde and contemporary art movements, where the focus is on provoking thought rather than adhering to mainstream aesthetics.
It’s a little disappointing to see that brands, as well as art and design communities, haven’t shown more recognition or support for the earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand.
