Unicode gripe: I wish there was a matching cross version of ✅ which had a red background. I know there's ❌ and ❎, but the first is a different style and the second is hard to visually distinguish at a glance.

Thank you for reading this, friend.

Unfortunately due to dental needs for my husband, as well as taxes coming up, we are going to be in quite a bit of debt. Thanks to my husband's hard work, we have some money coming in, but we keep going further into debt because of things we can't control.

If you're not too strapped for funds, yourself, we could use the help. We are thousands of dollars in debt, but anything to give us some breathing room for monthly bills would be wonderful.

Thank you so much for being here, and for caring, whether you can donate or not. You really do rock. 🤘

A while ago @stevelord shared a galaxy brain meme with me that triggered the thought that essentially the LLM boom is the deus ex machina for decoupling economic growth from innovation. It presents the simulacrum of value and innovation, enabling speculators to pump money into it and inflate value.

That it continues to consume ridiculous amounts of resource makes it *look* like it's resource in, value out, and is thus something that the market thinks it understands and is in some way sustainable.

I dunno, I feel that dissonance when I talk about it that helps me know I need to develop my terminology and narrative in the space, but the tl;dr here is that the interaction between the promise of what LLMs can deliver is just the right kind of specious to be synergistic with what market speculators think they want. It's fuel for a further decoupling of the market from actual humanistic reality.

I've said for a while that the market is just the next persona of "God" and this just seems like the next rung up the ladder, another enabler for us to live our lives under the hegemony of the worshippers of some great ouroboros that's completely divorced from any human need that is, in fact (not that) slowly killing us.

It sounds dramatic but realistically the thing I like about occultism is it gives convenient terminology and symbolism to talk about things that our outside of our day-to-day individualised paradigms because they are by their very nature the product of group psychology, identity and belief. Like a market.

dear literally anyone who is doing journalism right now,

if you use an ai generated image as the centerpiece for your article i will:

  • probably not fucking read it
  • forever write off your work
  • complain to my friends (your potential future audience)

there are also thousands of images you can use for free that aren't being fed through a plagiarism engine. i should know, i've used these myself for my old articles on medium.

allthefreestock.com/
unsplash.com/images/stock/publ
pexels.com/public-domain-image
loc.gov/free-to-use/

use (freee!!!!) royalty free work, pay an artist, or just don't include an image at all. full stop. stop clowning around.
