“There is a weird collection of arguments for appraising the value of humans and their creative artifacts. […] This line of thinking boils down to, "Humans are valuable if they produce high-quality output." This argument dangerously depends on the existing-but-narrowing human-AI capability gap.”

You can just say it

There is a weird collection of arguments for appraising the value of humans and their creative artifacts. It usually goes something like this: In the age of AI, we should still prefer humans in certain roles because AI could never perform the tasks required for that role. Or, a human can at least do it better. Or, perhaps the output from a human and AI may look similar, but human output is preferable for subtle stylistic reasons that an AI cannot reproduce. Or, at least the AI cannot reproduce it consistently. Observe the scuff marks around the base of the goalpost from constant movement. Allow 28 days for the concrete to cure.

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of #human #existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. It may even be assumed that just as the #unconscious affects us, so the increase in our #consciousness affects the unconscious.” - #CarlJung

#MissKittyOfAntifa is the only kind of #revolutionary that is ever effective. #Non-violent. The reason that's the only kind that's effective is because non-violence works at stability and #human #rights. By definition. Violence destroys stability and human rights. Always ineffective.

It is bewildering how #war – shocking and intolerable at first – quickly becomes a matter of fact." https://www.other-news.info/even-if-the-iran-war-is-over-it-made-its-mark-the-fear-killing-and-upheaval-were-all-normalised/

Even if the Iran war is over, it made its mark: the fear, killing and upheaval were all normalised - Other News - Voices against the tide

As conflicts in the Middle East persist despite ceasefire announcements, civilians endure normalized warfare while leaders pursue contradictory agendas. Trump's repeated peace declarations mask ongoing strikes, economic devastation, and displacement affecting millions across Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and the Gulf states.

“The Out of Eden Walk is a 24,000-mile journalistic endeavor to create a global record of human life at the start of a new millennium as told by villagers, nomads, traders, farmers, soldiers, and artists who rarely make the news. [T]he project is led by Pulitzer Prize winning writer Paul Salopek who is walking the path of human migration across the globe, and recording what he encounters in the form of writing, photographs, video, and audio.
As a partner in this project the [Harvard Center for Geographic Analysis] CGA’s role includes mapping [Salopek]’s walking route from his GPS data and publishing it on the Completed Route Map, custom thematic map creation, essay writing and [associated] cartographic education by the CGA…”
