Ich bin Meise, ohne SIN im Slum gestranded, nachdem das Auto meiner Eltern hier in einen Gangkrieg gekommen ist und ich nur mit Deck und der Kleidung am Leib rauskam.
Warum wir gerade dahin gefahren sind? Und warum mein Versuch, meine SIN wieder zu bekommen, mir fast Knast einbrockte?
Keine Ahnung, aber ich werde es herausfinden.

When I learned that David Revoy had almost stopped making Pepper & Carrot, and that a significant part of the reason for that was that he could no longer with good conscience recommend to professional artists to use Linux, partly because Wayland broke too much, it drove home just how much damage Wayland is doing right now.

In der Vorlesung wurde ich gestern nach Programmiersprachen gefragt: welche werden gehasst und welche werden in Freier Software geliebt? Und wie gerechtfertigt ist das? Knappe Kommentare, zugespitzt.

In march 2025 I decided to try LLM translation from German to English. I had given the original article to others via Google translate many times, and I had been asked to evaluate AI tools, so I decided to give ChatGPT a try for translating moderately complex text. It took about two hours of work over several days to fix up the translated article so it actually says what the original says, with corrections for a lot of subtle mistakes that corrupted even the core message. This article follows the process and evaluates the risks.

On Brandon Sanderson on AI Art – as one text for sharing:

Brandon Sanderson – We Are The Art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb3uK-_QkOo

Form creates its own meaning: https://www.draketo.de/kreatives/reality-presentation

Developing prompts can actually give it more meaning, like a director can cast actors to match a vision, but form creates its own meaning.¹

Form created by human actors changes with their experiences.

Form created by AI does not.

It is a dead end.

The only way to make AI art grow is to use less and less AI over time and infuse creations with more and more human-made art.

But that human-made art has a hard time getting seen among AI-decorated art.

And one more thing in which I think Brandon Sanderson is wrong here:

Art isn’t useless.

Art is code that leverages our shared culture to run on the human brain and change our culture – the beliefs and values that drive society. And build the foundation for more art.

AI art can come from our culture, but it does not grow with the changes it causes. It needs intermediary non-AI art to change.

If AI cannot ingest newly created non-AI art, it is stale.

Dead and hollow.

I think Brandon Sanderson is both right and wrong here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb3uK-_QkOo

I agree that the value of art you create is the change it causes in you, but I don’t think that its value is that you admire it.

Art is a crystallization of your path towards it. It lets others experience the essence of your life, of years of learning, in a much shorter span of time.

That’s how it benefits society.

And that’s why AI art often is hollow: regardless of its polish, it represents far less learning.
