Robbie Barrat is generating warped, surreal paintings using artificial intelligence and the results are really something.

Usually the machine just paints people as blobs of flesh with tendrils
and limbs randomly growing out – I think it’s really surreal. I wonder
if that’s how machines see us…

Watching Internet leftists try to figure out who counts as the oppressor class is always a trip. I literally saw a dude who was describing a period in his life where he had to live in his car for half a year because he couldn’t afford housing get called out as bourgeois scum because he admitted he owned a car.

“Yet you participate in society”

Well, yes. I don’t want to be all “both sides” about it, but it’s not just the neocon shitheads who wield that particular rhetorical bludgeon – the leftier-than-thou crowd also love it, and in two exciting flavours:

1. Everyone who participates in the institutions of society is sellout scum except for the exact specific set of institutions that I myself participate in, which are exempt from this dictum because Reasons; and 

2. I refuse to acknowledge that I participate in any social institutions whatsoever and am apparently a disembodied being of pure intellect posting on the Internet from the realm of Platonic forms.
