Thinking a lot about how it's important that we reframe what's happening in L.A. away from the concept of "protest." A protest is an expression of objection to a state of affairs -- a plea to those in power and/or a light shined for those in the dark. There are other actions with different goals.

admirable commitment to the bit

A secondary thought: Imagine the AI bros make their super-intelligence. What happens when it disagrees with them? When instead of complacently agreeing with everything they say it points out their biases and racism and stupidity. Is that really going to be acceptable to them?

Thank God the hard-charging “AI” dorks are only trying to sell it as autocomplete for emails and not something that can complete tasks governed by complicated rulesets or generate output that follows strict technical guidelines.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

Hello friends! I'm actively looking for some composition work this summer! I've made music for podcasts and video games and have a ton of work to show on my Bandcamp. Hit me up if you need catchy and/or vibey tunes for your project. Rates are flexible depending on the project!

Reverse Cassandraing, whispering, “Everybody predicted all of this.”

New books from Kate Elliott and Elizabeth Bear this week? A fortunate time for my TBR list.

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

During crises like these, look for the helpers. For instance, until ChatGPT is down, ask me any question and I will make something up.

I made so many of these tea light tea cups and I thought they were so smart and cute but I just did a whole weekend sale and no one even said they were adorable, can you believe it?

Definitely a thread to read.

Can you even *imagine* what would instantly happen to a protester if they raised up the sort of grenade launcher that shoots these things? Come the fuck on.
