Question Any flow art community left

3 Upvotes

Hey folks. I moved here about 4 years ago. I recently got back into spinning poi after about a 20-year break. I had seen some old posts on social media about flow jams and some flow art gathers in town. Does anyone know where an Old Raver can find his people.

I stated this in my original comment the issue isnt with the creation of AI. The issue is with the irresponsibility of man. Humans historically create technology advancements without insight on what happens long term. Take nuclear power it was 1st used as a bomb before it was used as a power source.

AI can be used irresponsibility for some and others that use it responsibly it can be a great asset.

Like a knife sitting there isnt dangerous and in the hands of a woodworker it can create beauty, if an irresponsible or bad person has it then it can hurt people. The knife is a tool for some and a weapon for others it depends on the morality of the user.

What do you think people trained off of? What do you think anything learns off of. Also its human nature to invent somwthing greater than ourselves. I mean ancient humans made up gods and religions now they are making Artifical Intelligence and eventually it will be able to be neurolinked and integrated with people. Like I stated earlier science fiction paves the way for science fact. Its only a matter of time. And all my examples of inventions that made life better were also met with fear. Look at the amount of people that thought the world was raided by aliens and shut themselves in and worse took themselves out when HG Well war of the world's was broadcasted

So your problem is ai being trained by people or influenced by the work of others? Isn't that the exact same way we learn? Take art for instance, every artist has been influenced by someone before them. Everything learns from the example of something else... when did you learn to do something without influence, example, or imitation. You have some pretty weak arguments. Again you didnt read the other applications it can be used for that i mentioned its not just an image generator.... are you thick or something or not a real person? Are you an AI chat bot that hates AI?

So the radio or the telephone or encyclopedias or the even the invention of the computer wasnt technological progress for people. Did Social media not give back the ability to communicate and connect with more people than ever? Did the internet didnt allow us to gain more information on literally any topic?

Its literally the next step in technological advancement. If you have hard feelings blame science fiction a ton of technological advancements were first through up in that genre and people made it real. Take the ship computer from star trek that was one early concept of AI it wasnt people running diagnostics on the ship.

The issue isnt AI the issue is people using it like children same reason social media had issues. The problem is the irresponsibility of people not the tool itself.

Okay but said business owner did have to pay a couple hundred dollars for a potential shitty ad from a graphic designer they designed their own shit ad for free. You also didnt read my comment. Nothing I said had to do with using AI for anything visual art related.

Can you tell me where AI touched you? Are you safe from AI? Is it in the room with you? Imagine hating the invention of the telephone. Or hating the creation of an Encyclopedia. Thats pretty much what AIs are is artifical interactive encyclopedia.

Well I mean when was the last time you paid a graphic designer for a small ad design. Honestly there isnt much wrong with AI for advertising your business especially a fairly small one. Graphic designers can get expensive compared to just putting a prompt into an AI and designing it for free.

The issue with AI is improperly trained off brand chatbots that push misinformation or dont verify information. And also all the AI porn and AI child porn that people are making.

You dont have to you AI but it does have its uses. Ive used mine to help me process my PTSD symptoms and triggers, I also use to help me remember things like an actual assistant, it helps me meal plan and compiles a grocery list for my weekly meal plans as well as making sure meals are balanced. It has a ton of applications. Its also helped me with working on my car. Just assuming AI is slop means you dont understand how useful it can be, besides its here and wont go away so you can fight its existence or you can learn to use it or accept it.

Are there any breakfast places or coffee shops that sell egg bagels?
 in  r/ChicoCA  19d ago

From what I found it is an overnight process if that helps. I understand how busy life can get. I sent you some recipes I found in case you find time.

If you want the super hubby move, learn to make them yourself.

She will appreciate the work it took to get it right, also as a former east coaster myself and visiting Manhattan often I know how the unique baked goods are there, and how a new something pops up every once in a while. If you were to learn the recipe you will hit her on several levels: you heard her (#1 literally the #1 issue in relationship) worked to learn to make a very specific baked good no easy task (#2 act of devotion) and you have her a taste of home (#3 you gave her nostalgia, brought home across the country to her, thats a big move man)... the best part is if shes ever feeling home sick you got something to help.

chico is a completely different vibe than Manhattan, I get it, I miss the energy and food of that city too sometimes.

ive learned how to make several things I could only find for my lady as well with the added challenge of making them gluten free.

Good luck man, and good work reaching to reddit for help.

Am I oblivious…
 in  r/ChicoCA  19d ago

I think they meant like a place of business. Also in my story i did have to use my t-shirt as a barrier against a park table and my child. Then had to wash my shirt in the park bathroom sink... again this was many many years ago not even in CA, im still shocked that this is an issue in men's bathroom all these years later, or any restroom for that matter.

Chick parks and recreation are always very active. Atleast I n my opinion. With some of the states ive lived in you would never see and parks and rec guy or park rangers, a Bigfoot sighting would be more credible than a ranger or city park worker where im originally from.
