  • But hair is still made up of discrete quantity of “stuff”

    Well, eventually you get to a point where hairs grow quickly enough that the haircuts effectively stop. I think the sum total of hair material you trend towards at the limit would be the sum of length of hair that grows during the time it takes to do a haircut. Whether it’s 1x or 2x of the hair growth amount depends on whether you measure at the start, or end, of the haircut




  • not saying one should be ashamed of ones disabilities

    But that’s the point though. In our (at least western because that’s the ones I’m familiar with) societies it is shameful to have disabilities. And pride is the opposite of shame. It’s resistance against the norm

    I get what you’re saying, but the way I look at it is as a protest. A recognition that we’re here, despite society’s best efforts to sweep us under the rug








  • I wouldn’t call bread or yoghurt prepared instead of processed personally though, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

    Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

    But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference




  • People didn’t use to call those AI images. They used to call them images with a filter

    Sure, some form of machine learning was involved, but so was your Google search for the previous decade. Unless one specifies what one means by AI, I still stand by my statement

    In addition, OP’s image was still real, even if it had a filter on. A lot of people’s images have such filters on, especially since often they’re applied automatically. That’s the whole difference and the point


  • So I see people arguing whether this is AI or not and I just wanna say that

    What people should take away from all of this is that we’re rapidly approaching a point where we’re simply unable to accurately determine whether something is generated or not. And we, as individuals and as a society, are not ready for that. We’re heading into a different world, and we better prepare for it, as well as re-examine our relationship to art and images before we’re forced to do so by the circumstances
