#imperfections — Public Fediverse posts

A quotation from Hoffer

Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 100 (3.14.100) (1951)

🧐 Oh, look! Someone's discovered that #AI isn't perfect! 🧠💥 Comparing an LLM to a "lossy encyclopedia" is like calling a barely functional toaster a "complex carbohydrate reduction device." Just keep feeding it examples—what could possibly go wrong? 🤖🥴

Will we ever get this sorted?, he asked, almost crying. It's such a mess. We aren't really equipped to do this, are we?

Oh, no, we never will sort it, she said, smiling. And we are really, really bad at it.

No one ever succeeds. Stop fussing. Here, have one of my Rotis, fresh from the pan.

Embracing imperfections: Kintsugi and the story of my teapot 🫖

#Kintsugi (金継ぎ), the traditional #Japanese art of ‘golden joinery’, celebrates the beauty of brokenness. My experience with a cherished #teapot taught me not just about repair, but about embracing #imperfections and celebrating the breakage and repair as an integral part of an object’s history.

@xela @gmic I use them to give an certain #aesthetic to my works, mainly to recreate the #imperfections induced by #analog equipment.
As pointed out by @gmic give a little read to the great Wikipedia article to understand what the #glitchart is all about.
Cheers!

#Deep thoughts on #art today. For most of human existence perfect wasn't anything close to possible. Mistakes are teachers. Perfection is the antithesis of #learning. Imperfections create style. Why #draw when you can take a #photo? The imperfections create #beauty and bring out the soul of the #artist. And even photos are altered to create imperfections that are beautiful. Layers and framing and light and exposure time.

#Imperfections make us #human and make our art what it is. Embrace them.
