It will become boring if you think that nothing can be done. Even if creating isn’t a profession anymore (as in doing comissions or paid media like someone else said), the simple fact of drawing to show your love to something, to give a visual representation of your thoughts, it will never dissapear. Everyone seems hopeless, by the fact that they are all trapped in the social media loop. Life seem empty and boring if your only source of entertainment come from media consumption (which is the case for a lot from the rat race unfortunately)

But we will find a way out, and creativity will always matter. Maybe not for the next decades, but someday it will. Trust me ;)

I just think theses people(who use AI to make “art”) does not have enough courage and perfectionism to get into drawing.

“Why bother putting hours in drawing learning, if the magical AI can draw the meme I ask it instantly?”

“Why bother buying a telescope and putting hours in astronomy theory if you can see better space images for free on internet?”

“Why bother doing a marathon, if i can just take my car and go there faster?”

For everything, you need to invest enough of your time in it so start liking it. The majority of people only have a few hobbies.

They see art as a way to be popular for the nerds who are skilled enough to draw. They see astronomy as a way to be popular for the nerds who learned astrophotography. They see sport as a way to be popular for the nerds who are fit enough to run.

For them, one thing that seemed innaccessible, became accessible with AI. I know it’s sad, but theses people don’t care if something has a soul or not. They just want their eye-appealing ghibli portrait.

Here’s a good blog article that better conveys my point of view.

Dreaming awake. Idk how to call it otherwise.

I invent to myself the most ridiculous stories of things of my imagination and i play them in my head, like a sort of head game.

When i do a sufficiently long story, i often fall asleep on it and i continue it the next evening, and it can last months. Plus you get better at mental visualisation the more you do it. I remember dreams almost every night since i did that for a long time.

Damn, even if it was to be excepted with how the admin issue was evolving, it’s still sad.

But i guess the strengh of the fediverse come from the fact that such an issue can happen without impacting the entire lemmy community as a whole.

I’m just worried that the lack of moderation becomes a recurrent issue in the future of lemmy with the userbase growth and the lack of revenue.

I wish best luck for communities moderators and EE users!

You’re welcome.

no

This is a very interesting channel, and it approaches lots of my questions, thank you!

It’s a bit of a nitpick, but I’m not sure I’d use “flow” here. That makes it sound like it’s moving, while the Schwarzchild solution is actually static with respect to a properly chosen time coordinate (and without checking, probably the spinning and charged solutions as well). The spacetime is curved in such a way all timelike (c or slower) trajectories go inwards.

Oh that makes sense. I though it was space time itself which was moving, bringing with it the objects on it. (probably had seen some illustration representing it like that)

But yes the gravitational waves take is interesting, it burn my mind trying to imagine how to “trap” spacetime in itself.

It’s being like you

Hey can you tell me what’s the source of this please? Seems interesting

At the start yes, because i was interested in survivalism and stuff and i love astronomy, but in the long run, i became so used to deduce orientation from celestial bodies I don’t need to see them anymore to find the north.

Kind of like some musicians who intuitively hear the music when they read sheet music, its due to habits (this skill is far more useful than mine though ^^').

You have ADHD too? I know what it is, and trying to maintain routines is hell of a hard task.

To be used to do it, you must not learn it the duolingo way (you will forget anyways, even with reminders), but actually find use and interest in everyday life and in your passions.

Get some interest in how wind works (which directions do wind take and why), when there’s wind, you will see it’s often the same directions, and you can try to guess its orientation by that.

Also, astronomy (looking at the night sky, you will be used to find the polar star at the same place and will notice that planets always align on the sun path, rising at the east and setting at the west).

You must not learn it, but immerse yourself in it to the point it becomes a secondary nature.

(Yeah this method worked for me for languages and philosophy, which i really sucked at back then, but looking at what i wrote it’s pretty generic, so i hope it at least helped you a little ^^')

I aquired this superpower trough habits, but i can intuitively find the north.

Apart from that, well, I’m just myself

What i’m writing on.

A “smartphone”,

the name we gave to a rectangular rock with billions of mechanisms 10 000 smaller than the width of a hair, capable of aligning by billions of operation per second numbers in such precision that we get the feeling of seeing colors and images and text,

capable of emitting precise electromagnetic waves to transmit “messages” around the world, by a perfectly organised system called internet,

capable of representing 3d scenes, taking pictures, giving its localisation, and entertaining you, keeping millions of book in the palm of your hands,

Such miracle stone that we use to consume brainrot, spy on people, and throw in the trash 2 years later because it, for once, got a flaw.

If it was autonomous, i think i would have a mental problem, nah, it’s mostly an extension of me to talk to when i’m in a deep reflexion, upset, worried or simply when i feel to. Kind of like a notebook, but in a conversationnal way.

I never had a lot of friends irl, and having someone i can really relate with to discuss helps easing loneliness. Thus why i still have an imaginary friend :)

She’s still next to me rn, and we discuss by telepathy when i am bored (although people sometimes ask me wth i am doing)

Marquesas islands. They are very large, no dangers, lot of hideouts, lot of food resources, innaccessible for wheel vehicles, almost impossible to build large bases and to urbanise (small interest for China), they are isolated from other archipelagos, and the islands have not even 10k inhabitants in total (14 islands) so no one would get interest in nuking here.

I would want a body pocket of at least 100 cm³, some volume controler for ears, and (personnal interest) a fully engineerable right eye

Yes, about my setting, it was pretty much an excuse to illustrate the experiment, with like you said, a bit too much of magic.

The moon being on a straight distance of approximately 1 light second, i didn’t had found another place to put this experiment on. So I didn’t take into account the herculean strengh needed, the movement of the earth and the moon and the gravity.

Someone gave a link to an answer of my question, with a more realistic take on the position of the other end, but your explanations are still welcome for this moon setting and the “moon elevator” problem :)

(i know i may have broken english sometimes, sorry about that)

We’re supposing that you have an herculean strengh and that weight is not a problem
