I just keep wishing cryptobros would quit fucking up the things I have interests in. I love the idea of generative art, and was excitedly chatting with my partner over a music video someone had done that their GAN uncannily nailed the vibe of the song it was 'videographing'-- and then they started telling me about how linked to crypto it's become, how artists are using it to fake commissions(?!), how these networks are built on massive caches of stolen art and photographs-- and just like robotics, my interest in it deflated and I felt like I'd lost something else to these libertarian leeches.
