  • Yeah not fully convinced about what is going on. The fact that the blurred background is nearly identical is not something I’ve seen in other examples of over-tuning.

    I don’t even believe the sentiment is wrong. Generative algorithms have no conception of reality and the companies behind them are stealing work. However there seems to be a lot of misconception about what aspects are being stolen, because the reality is that the concepts that are stolen are much more abstract of lines and pixels than we can easily parse.











  • Thank you!

    And yes you are correct, as it exists as a probability wave and has not finite size, it is not spinning. It does however have intrinsic angular momentum as seen in effects like Hydrogen Fine Structure, that behave exactly as though it were a ball spinning, with a set specific angular momentum. But don’t worry, the confusion is alleviated when you learn that it very definitely isn’t a ball spinning as it doesn’t have a singular spin but rather a super position of possible spin states. You can think of it like, for example, three parts spinning clockwise and one part spinning counter-clockwise.

    It usually around this point that I am reminded that the universe does not owe my puny monkey brain a lick of sense.
