My knee-jerk reaction to this article from @adamshostack was a cynical [citation needed] re “artists from all mediums emphatically support the use of AI.”
On further reflection…well, that’s still my response to the eyeball-grabbing lede, yes, but the actual article is what I wish we’d had instead of this inane hype avalanche:
Artists poking at the new thing, playing with it, finding its possibilities, critiquing it, problematizing it, asking us to ask what it is, helping us see it with fresh eyes from many angles. infosec.exchange/@adamshostack…

3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.
The highway in question is cratered with potholes due to shoddy, cut-rate roadwork that disintegrates at the first sign of inclement weather.
The worst part? There's a train between those same two cities, but the state of the railways in this country is beyond the pale, ironically because the government is pretending to invest in shiny new roads that...are cratered with potholes and disintegrate at the first sign of inclement weather.

Dann erscheint die Anmeldung. Dort gebe ich den Nutzernamen thomas und das Samba Kennwort ein. Es erscheint die Meldung, dass ich keine Berechtigung habe.

@ariadne If Xwayland already works for the application one wants to use, then they're not really stuck with X right?
I thought the whole issue was that some applications are not (maybe never?) supported by Xwayland, so no solution that's based on Xwayland would work for those applications?
No, that's for rootless XWayland running under a full Wayland compositor, which is intended to run X11 apps but not full X11 sessions (because it's running under a Wayland session), that's why it can't do everything a full X11 session can.
This is rootful XWayland which can run any X11 window manager and supports everything Xorg supports that isn't directly hardware device related. It's a full native X11 session. XWayland is the same codebase as Xorg minus the hardware drivers.

huh. so it's not constrained by the wayland protocol's capabilities? the point is just to reduce code duplication?
that still feels like there's stuff that would be unsupported, but that might deal with some of it...

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •The arts and education — when they are at their best, anyway — have in common this deep root: they ask us to see and to think and to feel, to see with fresh eyes, to be aware of our own seeing, to be •active• in our seeing.
In that way, both the arts and education are antidotes to the AI hype cycle, and similar endeavors of capitalism run amok.

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •I’m fond of quipping that arts education is •the• foundational form of education, and that education in any field should never stray too far from being arts education.
It’s little wonder that the forces that push investment bubbles and wealth concentration are so hostile to both the arts and education. And we need to recognize that hostility, which is so often cloaked as support:

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •Commoditization disguised as democratization is a form of hostility.
The AI venders saying “Now anyone can make music!!” slip quickly into “Nobody wanted to work at making music,” then “Music is best manufactured and sold by the yard,” then “Music is essentially worthless.”
4/
Paul Cantrell
in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •But here’s the thing: anyone could make music •before• gen AI. Some more skilled or more artistically successful than others, sure! But that’s not the point. •Doing it• is the point. •Living it• is the point.
A product that promises to generate it for you so that you neither do it nor live it is antithetical to the point, is hostile to the idea of art itself.
(Note: that’s exactly what the artists in the OP are •not• doing! They are all grabbing the AI and actively •doing• and •living• while poking at the curious new object.)
5/
Paul Cantrell
in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •Similarly, hostility to education cloaks itself as support by saying that education should be useful, should be practical, should be focused only on what students need, should be narrowed to what students need, should narrow students, should narrow students into being only what capitalism needs.
I wrote extensively about this dangerous line of thought here:

❝Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.❞
❝We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.❞

Put that last thought in the context of arts and education being deeply intertwined, and oligarchy seeking to dismantle both, and…well….
