Oh Louise, you are on spot again, I had a second conversation over the last week with a husband of my friend, and he is a techbro who works with ai (he is a good guy, we are in the same community, no grudge, but i guess he gets triggered by me being an artist) I managed to stay calm and bring him my perspective of it, but I just couldn't brush off the feeling that he was almost sadistic when he asked me those seemingly curious questions, which in the end are just conceled mockery. I don't know what's with those people really. But yeah, I believe that we might suffer, but we survive.
As a human needs another human, and connection, and human touch, and something that brings sense.
Wow, that sounds infuriating to me... I'm totally with you on not needlessly antagonizing anyone. But I'm really at a loss for this divide that's appeared between creatives and tech people. I used to be a "techie" myself and could have easily continued down that path as well. Tech is creative though, that's what drew me to it. Coding and building stuff and innovating... We have so much in common. And yet now, we seem to be on opposite sides in some kind of ideological battle. Like, why? Is it jealousy? Are they secretly resentful they didn't go to art school? 😆
I have no idea, but I talked with a friend (she is a musician and sound designer in games), and I have a theory now, that creatives are process driven, and techbros are result driven, while "old techies" were more process AND result driven. So techbros don't give a shit about living through process of doing anything. They are about optimising and bringing as much money as possible quickly and feel smart about it. Also it is as if there is some secret shame, that they know they rob people of what belongs to them by modern laws.
