Back when I was on Twitter dot com I said that at 20k followers I’d reveal whether or not the Enlightenment was racist, but tbh I was a bit wary of going near so touchy a topic? So as a compromise, to keep some distance, I tried to express what I thought allegorically, through the medium of dance.

It’s frustrating that LLMs are, by a mile, the most transformative consumer technology to emerge in living memory, and the modal opinion on this website is “fake trash, lmao, bubble’s gonna burst, fuck you for even talking about it.” Take it seriously. You’ll have to for the rest of your life.
