A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I mean, art doesn't have to be depressing. You can make perfectly enjoyable and meaningful media that has an optimistic outlook.
Given the "I flipped the words I must be clever" way this guy is, I kinda doubt he's looking for more than "and then the things I like were awesome, saved the day and everyone was happy because AI NFT Bitcoin did magic to them".
But still, nothing in principle wrong with wanting something optimistic.
I'm really tired of the only good art is the stuff that hurts your soul perspective that so many people seem to have. I am at a point where I can not watch any more depressing shows because the real world is bad enough as it is, and I see no advantage to smashing my mental health into a wall to watch a show that makes a point that I probably already agree with.
Go watch Frieren. There's a profound sadness in the premise, but then the show answers that sadness with love and hope.
I've been saving it for a rainy day. I think I'll probably start it today.
