Um.... what.... aka, this is the dumbest thing I've ever read

Wow I totally forgot about that. Probably because it’s so bad!

“Like art isn’t inherently fascist…”

OK, I am clearly missing something here, or this person is an all-time asshole.

I guess he thinks the only real art are the Italian Futurists and white power bands from the 90s… :roll_eyes:

I’m thinking both, myself.

Maybe I’m just cynical about such things, but I think the biggest crime here is a damned pair of earrings that costs $769K! Average price of a home in the USA as of September 2024 was $419K (at least according to a quick search), so this pair of earrings is valued at almost two homes. Really? Really?

It’s not previewing, but I invite you to take a look. It’s an exhibit of AI-generated art, sponsored by Enron.

The whole thing feels like a joke, but I think it’s real.

Considering the other posts in that account are all about a small, egg-shaped, easily carryable, “nuclear reactor for the home” (that apparently is shipped in semi trucks that are hard-limited to not exceed 45 MPH “for safety”)… I strongly suspect it’s a joke :smiley: Or, at the very least, performance art…

The Enron name is owned by The College Company. Same people behind “Birds Aren’t Real.” I give them points for being very elaborate.

I suppose this is the kind of thing we could have expected from Info Wars, had the Onion been allowed to buy it.

It did, but they had to buy the rights to the name and logo.

The website is amazing.

That really is some fancy tomfoolery. Reminds me of activism by the Yes Men.

I regret posting this in this thread. Should have gone in Random Silly Grins.

I sent “The Egg” webpage to a friend. He thought it was real too. So hard to recognize parody these days.

“The World’s Leading Company” I guess we only need the one company then.
