“The things we admire in men, #kindness and #generosity, #openness, #honesty, #understanding and feeling are the concomitants of #failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, #greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, #egotism and #self-interest are the traits of success.” - #JohnSteinbeck

A quotation from Montaigne

A man must not always tell all, for that were folly: but what a man says should be what he thinks, otherwise ’tis knavery.
 
[Il ne faut pas tousjours dire tout, car ce seroit sottise : Mais ce qu’on dit, il faut qu’il soit tel qu’on le pense : autrement, c’est meschanceté.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]

You, @funnymonkey, falsely claimed: "There is no such thing as AI art."

That is a lie worthy of Donald Trump in its distance from the truth. To say: "I prefer art that is not AI art" would be a fair statement. But I saw AI art that is certainly art and it is certainly beautiful. Having more beauty in this world would be a good thing. Making statements that are clearly lies, such as the false claim that you made, @funnymonkey, is a bad thing.

One symbol on the Artemis II moon patch (for the Canadian astronaut) is Bigfoot....
or Sasquatch, representing "honesty", they say.

Who believes that Bigfoot is honest?

...model holds here in #AI #research as well. Three properly designed and #coordinated #levels yield the truth. Whatever the #truth #on #Earth is. I'm not talking existential. So the key ingredient is #honesty. It explodes badly if it is tainted with bias. By the third level you have fantasy. 😹😹😹

In each unhidden form rests the dignity of #honesty, the courage of presence, the beauty of #impermanence unveiled. To stand unclothed is to stand #equal, bathed in light, softened by wind, cradled by silence. Here, #nakedness is not absence but abundance, a flowering of pure being.

Community practice exists in #Mukyōhō, but hierarchy & status are absent. Practitioners gather to support each other’s #awareness, sharing experiences & encouraging #mindfulness, yet all remain #equal. Leadership, if present, is situational & based on experience, not authority. This fosters #honesty, openness, & shared learning. (1/2)
