  5. Rewatching Midsommar, I see it a bit differently from before. Dani was treated so indifferently by those around her from the start, and as much as the cult enacts immoral practices (murder, brainwashing), it fills the needs Dani always had - to be valorised for her innate kindness, awareness and strength, to have her grief shared and to receive genuine empathy and kinship, including genuine acknowledgement of grief and suffering, and for death and the raw flow of life to be incorporated into awareness.
  6. Has anyone mentioned Ultraviolence yet? He's like a dark hardcore rave guy who my friends and I were into in the 00's
  7. Amazing film, such a deeply wicked sense of humour The camera drifting out over the banlieue to "je ne regrette rien" was another poignant moment I think, and the cow, I wonder if we are the cows watching, or it's just a symbol for the absurd meaninglessness of the situation
  8. I think for a long time it will be a tool that will make some tasks easier for some people, used for generating raw material. But so far I haven't seen a single interesting or original piece of art made solely by machine learning ("AI" is a marketing term, it's not AI really). I spoke to someone who was doing some world building who was using ChatGPT to bounce ideas off, which they used as a jumping off point - basically to avoid writer's block by generating a bunch of suggestions, which they then could select and develop. It really depends on the style of the art as well - I can easily imagine Autechre training a model on specifically selected material, but not using a generic model as it would lack responsiveness. All the AI art I see on facebook is just x unusual thing in the style of y already existing genre, or just pics of women with big boobs. If we had genuine AI, which we are not even close to, it would be an artist in it's own right, which wouldn't necessarily offer anything more sophisticated or unique than a human artist - just depends how good it is at imagining a unique emotional experience. So far "AI art" just reflects the limited popular conception of what art can be, so it might put people who make that stuff out of work. One potential good use I can imagine at some point in the near future is chat models being used as creativity coaches/amateur therapists, helping some people get past their creative blockages.
  9. Only lovers left alive - worth it for the annoying sister and the sated John Hurt
  10. I see what you did there, and I don't approve
  11. Huh, some of those, like Akunk or the UI track I just thought were weirdo experiment tracks, but now you mention it they might actually be trolling. At this point it would probably be a QR code that creates an AR 3D model of his butthole on people's faces? Maybe with wiry hairs that fly around randomly and grow to engulf the field of view when you try to look around
  12. Yeah they were big metalheads so they basically did their favourite metal riffs in midi
  13. Because the Doom soundtrack is basically rip offs of Pantera, Slayer, Metallica etc. in MIDI form - it just sounds reminiscent of that to me
  14. Sorry to hear about the breakup, that can be brutal and make you question a lot of things. I hope the psychologist can help you, and try to be patient if you can, these things can take time, and not all therapists are the same - I saw two, and the first did nothing as far as I can tell, but the second completely changed my life. Also medication was super helpful for me, though several years later I don't need it any more (but stopping is usually a decision you should discuss with your doctor).
  15. In my experience, being told you're overthinking is not very helpful. Thinking is not bad - but maybe sometimes ruminating or obsessing can be cause you trouble. Also, the content of the thoughts is important - sometimes we aren't really aware of what our thoughts are like - again which is why therapy can be super helpful for some.
  16. Generally I would trust a psychologist more than an online quiz. I would also be cautious about "removing" parts of yourself by yourself - generally a trained therapist would help you gain an an awareness of your thought process and behaviour, which can help you remain yourself while communicating more effectively with others, I think.
  17. I don't think there's a line between a mental condition and a genuine personality - the reason typically that we diagnose mental conditions is because they are causing some kind of harm to self or others. Also I don't think being intellectual and deep is really what Asperger's is about, I think it's more to do with social stuff, atypical information processing and reactions to stimuli. Like you don't have to be on the spectrum to be obsessed with history, or to talk about it so much that you're wearing people out, but whether you are or not on the spectrum, for some, having a diagnosis might help to make you aware of that and either try to temper the behaviour or not be too hard on yourself when you don't understand why people are avoiding conversations with you. I'm sure a diagnosis isn't always helpful for everyone, but there is most likely research on that too, though I haven't seen it myself.
  18. I kind of agree with Zizek on this - if you look deep inside yourself, you find shit - the story we tell ourselves about ourselves can be a total lie - he cites Mein Kampf as an example. The truth of who we are is in how we interact with others. There's that Buddhist joke: While four monks are meditating, a prayer flag begins to flap in the breeze. The youngest monk stops and says, "Flag is flapping." An older monk corrects him: "No, wind is flapping." A wiser monk proclaims, "No, mind is flapping." The eldest concludes, "No, mouths are flapping." Maybe it's possible to reach true enlightenment, but I don't know if you'd be able to judge whether you've reached it for yourself.
  19. I don't think the issue is necessarily being overly specific about one's individual differences as much it is our understanding about what those specifics mean - for example if you know you're a bit autistic (but aren't having meltdowns or totally socially excluding yourself), you might either wear that as a badge of pride (which tbh I view pretty neutrally), or you could alternatively use that awareness to be a bit kinder to yourself if you're struggling with social situations and it's getting you down... I think what some people are in the beginning stages of realising is that humans operate more differently than we sometimes assume. For example, knowing that I can be prone to feeling anxious and unmotivated makes me realise that sometimes I might need to make a conscious decision to discuss my thoughts with people I trust if I notice that my mood is dipping (even if it's not my first impulse), where someone who is more resilient might handle it differently - they might be able to just "cheer up" - which maybe I can do to an extent but it would be more like a skill I'm trying to work on than something I can "just do". Likewise, someone who has difficulty with attention but whose life is not becoming a chaotic mess and therefore does not need medication, may need to develop strategies to manage it which they wouldn't automatically think of, such as working towards better sleep hygiene or incorporating physical exercise into their daily routine (things which none of us seem to find easy these days). I definitely believe that on the whole, openly discussing mental illness and individual difference is waaaaay better than the more repressive culture I remember from decades past. My grandparents had to just cope with their misery alone for years, in order to maintain the illusion that everyone is happy and fine and normal.
