So you’re saying you don’t know of any financially struggling artists.

How exactly would you hear about an artist who isn’t doing well financially but is so popular you’d hear about them? If you actually hung out in artist circles then you’d know a lot of artists like that, so yeah, I’m assuming you don’t.

You said that if they appeared to not be making money they are essentially lying about it or going off to work in a factory.

So you’re preventively arguing against any evidence to the contrary of the poor artist. As for the factory part, my brother in Christ, that’s what most artists have to do. They work part time or full time jobs, sometimes multiple jobs, to supplement their income.

As for your definition of artbro, that’s a myopic sliver of the art world as a whole, and I am dismissing your aren’t to limit the conversation to just those people, because the topic is about generative ai which affects the WHOLE art community. Amateurs to full on professionals. In every branch of the arts.

I guess this is where the miscommunication has been happening, since I’m talking about artists as a whole and you’re only talking about those which have gotten jobs in specific industries.

So I apologize, I thought you were coming from a more holistic, knowledgeable, informed, and experienced position than you were and shouldn’t have put that upon you.

It’s called sample bias. You’re only talking about the artists you’ve personally met, not the statistics of artists as a whole.

I also think you’ve got a bias in favor of tech bros because you see them as hard workers, and see artists as lazy elites.

And when I am talking about artists, I’m not talking about the small fraction that are in “high” arts with museums n shit.

It sounds to me that you you don’t really know a lot of artists and don’t really know a lot about this whole situation but still managed to form an opinion.

Some More News did a great video about this

Dude artists are some of the most broke people out there, to the point where the starving artist is a trope, what are you smoking?

I see creativity as an inherently human trait. I’ve known plenty of people who are smart and have very low creativity, and people who aren’t that bright who come up with very creative ideas. And people who are both and neither.

Making images and arts are only part of that creativity, there’s more to it than that.

Elaborate

People do make art and be creative still so I don’t know why you’re asking why they don’t.

And people still do it because making art is a thing humans do and like to do. People still sew even though they can just buy clothing.

Acting like there’s a barrier for entry to make art is a flat out delusion. Humans were making art on caves with chalk and dirt they found. You can make art with a stick. Acting like artists are rich elitists is the most ignorant and incorrect thing I’ve ever read on the Internet.

Everyone already can be creative and make images you moron

Could always use clear nail polish

I heard that too

These are pretty cool and I didn’t know about them! I’m pretty me to investing, do you just look up ESGs or something?

I’m in the sidelines and I didn’t know they existed and wanted to know more so I’m glad they posted it anyway

TIL rats have more empathy than rich people

I feel like it’s less about whether the process will go up or if capitalism can survive with it. I in feel that it’s going to be necessary for humans to function. With population increasing, and jobs actually decreasing from technology for the first time in human history, from businesses automating stuff or self check out counters, we’re just not going to have a job for every single person out there.

Iirc the places that tested ubi found that people kept working for the exact reason you said. I forget if more people got jobs or not.

We wouldn’t feel sorry because we wouldn’t know it happened, the only reason anyone is talking about this is because the guy was rich.

And the follow up question: why hasn’t he?

Either call 211 or go to 211.com and they will help you, they connect you with every community resource for your county, and if you tell them what happened they can help with you even finding a new place and maybe even help get a lawyer. Temporary housing for animals, helping with apartment, help with living expenses, all sorts of stuff

Guessed A then looked in the comments and that looked to be the best option so now I’m gonna roll some dice to see if I got released or not

Edit: aw beans

Hey not cool don’t diss Mexico like that
