Very neat. | keeptrying wrote: | The vast majority of people on this site love being shown either | a new idea or an old idea expressed differently. | | These diagrams provide that little shot of that creative emotion | which is fun. | | Don't know how useful it is but I "feel" like I learn something | from either the way a concept has been portrayed or a genuine new | juxtaposition of ideas. | amelius wrote: | It would be interesting to feed these descriptions to DALL-E | and see if it comes up with better diagrams. | rexpop wrote: | These are well done, but they're hardly universally agreeable | sentiments. I find too many of them trite, self-defeating or | otherwise disappointing, eg advice for defectors, rather than | cooperators (in a Prisoners Dilemma sense). | techzerd wrote: | Good stuff | WaitWaitWha wrote: | I enjoy the overall simplicity and the 'devious' pressure to | comprehend the connection between the text and graphics. | | What is the copyright on these? (On phone and there is nothing | else on the page) | vavooom wrote: | Also interested if these are free-use | amelius wrote: | Very difficult to guess the description based on the image. | mdonahoe wrote: | Are there any descriptions that I'm missing?

So now it's | harder to figure out which ones are important or valuable, etc. | so you're more likely to spend time distracted by things which | are not as important or valuable. But, who knows? | ctxc wrote: | You set out to do something for an hour. You're distracted by | something else, taking away a portion of that hour. More | distractions, more time taken away. | | Replace time there with attention, resources, focus, effort, | etc. | | That's the thing with these abstract images, possibilities are | endless. | | On the same note, please buy my abstract white painting. It's | only a million. ;) ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-07-30 23:00 UTC)
