  • My interpretation is that, in current circumstances, cruelty is the principal way to enforce hierarchy. But, I might have to give up on trying to understand US politics because the differences between the two parties are shrinking.

    The article mainly appeals to me because of I’ve seen some people claiming that hate towards AI art is “reactionary,” when the exact opposite seems to be true when you think about the overall context of the technology. A pretty reasonable argument in favor of this is that human artists sometimes have their work called AI slop, simply because their works were scraped and people recognize some similarities in style. The obvious rebuttal is that this is victim blaming. AI models plagiarize, and misinforms people with the unfortunate side effect of sowing division between us.

    Huge agree on the object/meta discourse. It’s way more important to talk about specific values than use that binary way of thinking.

    Originally, mute in toki pona is many or any number above two, so 196 would be mute. In the modern numeral system mute is 20.















  • This was a enjoyable read. Talking about internet dipshits can quickly turn boring, but you frequently took a moment to analyse his place within the wider sphere of productivity-obsessed people. Your selection of quotes from others is quite nice too.

    To have a tool that can take away the fear of the empty page at the click of a button?

    “fear of the empty page” is a bit oddly named. It’s not that the page is empty that makes you unable to write, it’s that you don’t have any more open ends within your text to expand upon. And that can happen when you’re on 0 words but it can also happen when you’re halfway through, it’s easier to start writing again in that case though. Having an AI vomit 1000 words at you definitely doesn’t help, first you have to go through the chore of reading AI, then you realize that the style of the generator doesn’t permit you to have any further thoughts about the topic.
