Turns out that photographers were hated by many artists like AI art is today back when photography started becoming a popular medium

CDC team studying health impacts of East Palestine train derailment fell ill during investigation https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/cdc-team-sick-east-palestine-ohio-train-derailment/ Millionaires will burn through two-thirds of the world’s carbon budget by 2050, scientists warn 73 of the top 100 titles on Steam are playable on the Deck Steam Deck Verified: 26  using Postgres as a graph database ASEAN Finance Ministers and Central Banks Consider Dropping US Dollar, Euro and Yen, Indonesia Calls for Phasing Out Visa and Mastercard There are about 3 U.S. train derailments per day. Meanwhile, China has had a total of 31 derailments in all of 21st century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_accidents_in_China @yogthos yeah, right... Also there is no more than 120000 death of Covid in China... (Note: I do not stand with U.S. Imperialism either) how Britain buried its history of slavery https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2023/mar/29/lest-we-remember-how-britain-buried-its-history-of-slavery @yogthos Related to that, I have an account on a French Mastodon instance (operated by my ISP) and the local timeline is full of descriptions of riots and things the politicians are doing wrong. I suppose they'll start campaigning to ban Mastodon too. The chairman of Taiwan’s biggest chip designer, Mediatek’s Tsai Ming-kai, says the US' chip bans are good for mainland chipmakers, and bad for Taiwan's. Nobody could have predicted this shocking development. Twenty years ago the entire U.S. establishment lined up behind the war on Iraq. It was one of the greatest disasters in history, and there's been no accountability.   @yogthos the avalanche of bullshit 20 year anniversary articles titled "how could the Intel community have gotten this so wrong" made me literally sick. Every major media outlet in the US just took the whatever bullshit the Whitehouse shoveled them and reported it as gods truth when the CIA was having defections of personnel yelling to whoever would listen it was all bullshit. The inspectors were equally candid. Total lack of any accountability or self reflection. All Empires Rise and Fall, The US Is No Exception https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivwIWgL_AV4 #Clojure transducers: your composable data pipelines The Financial Times today tries to convince the French that Macron is right about raising the retirement age because otherwise France would have to give up the idea of having a navy in the Pacific. Why didn't they tell the French right away that this was all being done for the sake of ships off the coast of China. 😆 Two 'solid hydrogen' power plants brought on line in China on same day. The energy-storage pilot projects 'successfully solved the technical "bottleneck" of storing hydrogen in solid form under normal temperature conditions'. We're now at the point in geopolitics where US is begging China for a meeting while getting ghosted @yogthos Hmm, let's see how this went: “The Pentagon only managed to account for 39 percent of its $3.5 trillion in assets” https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/11/22/why-cant-the-dod-get-its-financial-house-in-order/ |

To add to the nice pile of analogies:
Did photos displace artists from some professions? Yes, certainly, portraits and still life, for instance, by proportion, are taken as photos more than they are hand-painted these days.
But I reckon still easily an order of magnitude more portraits are _still_ painted today than in the past, despite photos eclipsing them for the purpose.
Art can be art without displacing or cannibalizing other art entirely.

@yogthos Except photography didnt consist of stealing art, conceiling it as original paintings, and it actually demands a certain degree of skill and creativity
