sometimes you just gotta listen to music at a volume that you know will be part of the cause of your hearing loss at the age of 28
hey yall. im 25 now and i already have tinnitus <3 dont do this. LOL
oh btw for those saying “i already have tinnitus haha it cant get worse” YEAH IT CAN BITCH! if you want to listen to music loud do it on speakers at least. headphones will Beam Pain Waves Directly Into Your Cochlear Hair Cells and a 10kHz Tone Loud Enough Will Give You Psychic Damage Forever
if i have to fucken, translate it to something you’ll understand? Imagine theres a picture of garfield here saying
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO HEARING LOSS
the problem with musicians is how they're always touring their latest album instead of like their critically hated second album from 2009 which is the one i'm obsessed with
a "teacher's pet" is a class traitor that has betrayed their peers (other students) to receive favors from the oppressor class

More people should be aware of how much money the American far right funnels into American propaganda in Canada
It's also important to know that most of the newspapers in Canada are owned by an American hedge fund with ties to the republican party
The US spends a loooooot of money to show propaganda to Canadians!

Cannot consumption of AI be considered an art expression?
Of course it can, and performance art is art, but I feel like it's important to know that the art being eaten was a series of AI generated images reflecting the artist's experience of AI psychosis and commenting on the way that AI use changes the users' interactions with the world. The images were generated by someone who has been using image generation tools in their art since 2017 and who was educated as an artist using traditional techniques.
The piece that the protester ate was made by an MFA student and wasn't an attempt to "pass off" generated images themselves as art, the art was the presentation of the images and their sequence and variety (there's an element of obsessive iteration visible even in the remaining images - an empty room, the same room with different light, the same room with a smiling woman on the bed, the same woman standing in different poses, which speaks to me of someone furiously attempting to construct a comforting reality and finding the tools in your hands inadequate, but that's just my interpretation of what remains).
For the record, Nick Dwyer was the MFA student whose art was eaten. "The intersection of art and AI" is a huge theme in his work.
Like. He made a ceramic sculpture of an AI girlfriend, then generated an AI image of the sculpture and called them one and two in a series.
He made ceramic "phones" and inscribed them with cuniform and ai image hieroglyphics that he carved into the clay.
I've talked a lot about how I think that AI has a place in the creation of art and I think Dwyer's work is genuinely a perfect example of someone using AI to create art.
Again, I also think that performance art is art and eating a portion of the gallery piece is certainly an interesting statement, but I wonder if the protestor would be as outraged by the ceramic phones with AI images engraved on them. How much human touch or human intention does "slop" need before it's art, or is it fruit of the poisoned tree and must always be considered slop because AI was part of the process?
I feel it's also important to note that Granger has been released and Dwyer has said in a reddit comment that he's not interested in pressing charges or seeing the other student prosecuted for this.
