Sub0 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 For me it's the initial asSIGNment of a variable. That's why my heart gantzgrafed when i read this sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense now. Just now, very honest said: software term. starting signal for something. Well that's what I thought but the sentence didn't make sense much and I didn't get how ppl arrived to abbreviation from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I speculate too much, but the sentence makes sense. I still don't get why people read that as an abbreviation. I hear clearly that's it's kind of a… start of something they don't want to talk about ? Edited October 13, 2020 by Sub0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most everyone read and understood it as such, but in forum banter acronyms for the lols obv. ‘SIGN’ invites it.

Lianne Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I think that could be it...the name of their system. Metaz form8 really is beautiful by the way, isn’t it? It’s like the soundscape to an infinite dream. The sound of loss and longing. Edited October 13, 2020 by Lianne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Quote But I’m not sure that art can be produced by computer. It may just be my limitations as a programmer. And it may be that someone will come along and apply machine learning in a way that’s actually emotionally gratifying. But for me personally, I can’t build systems that do that. that's from Sean. the way i'm reading it implies he's tried it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
