Pouring bleach down a toilet, to get rid of all the undesirables. This is the practice of doing editorials.
Aaah, punditry, the path of commitment, or of clownish pretentiousness. Gaming the attention economy, along with its feedback loops of freelance contract workers.
Such is the void/abyss, to divine in it. So that follower list, that thing, undiscovered pouring and spring cleanings happen, unbeknowst of tiny unmeasured judgements, stuff beyond my purview right out of the grasp.
So time to be ameliorative! Time to consider both good and bad, then carry on.
Escaping the bleach titanic, cleaning everything. All this confusion, Epistemic crisis and hyperreality and all the mushy talking points, no leaders, all the silly talk, I'd have to trust a self or anatta, non-self to be proud off. All this financial computationalism in the air, it's all a malaise.
Or snoodles, doodles, making the way and little of life, pure play! Of the irreducible nature of our, the art to make something most divine.
They're play in the purest form, a foundherent structure of play that can lead into a set sequence of circumstances, or indeterministic orders that lead into other happenstances.
It's a moment of time, in the day, that I happen to entertain a moment of amusement for myself, then I share it, free of charge. It's free time expressed, and it's generous.
It may go away or may get bored.
Those little snippets of a quick impression, unrefined and then placed in my blog, they are what they are, and there now gone.
In attempt to develop an opinion of NFTs, couch Gregor does his research.

(CW, abuse, slurs. And terminally online xwitterism Twitter artists used as a derogatory slur. )
A speculative, volatile market, it's marketing that Seth Godin has dismissed. (Yet there are contradictory sources, had to check the Wayback Machine. It's an editorial, though, So I'll make my mind.
I like it when I test my ideological presuppositions challenged
Welp, what were my experiences?
I was off, playing and depressed with League of Legends before this fad or not.
Yet things change, don't they?
Short version. Even it hinted at the climate thing that I'm considering. Oh, look it's more death threats, look, if you retweet and post death threats. I'm going to treat you as a mere acquaintance. It's not within my entertainment etiquette.
Bullying, doxing, suicide, wow, thanks I avoided the liberal circle and have not spent my days there.
Well, putting this account here, if you don't want to look at the full essay, I've been at it.
Here's him getting sidetracked on xwitter drama, it's amazing on YouTube you can post so much xwitter drama now. Unlearning has done a Sowell now, which this libertarian with this time.
You don't even have to agree, yet he political convenience talking points that a propped as a means of twitter statecraft authority and response rates, No thank you Dan, You were wrong here, empirically I'll have gone with experience.
Oh look, the obituary list so I guess it ain't dead. Where Micrological artists can continue to have a nice pint in the pub and wait for this to all blow over.
Yeah, he's right wing he admits, and a libertarian ancap (urgh did I admit to something along with lines of agreement, what a strange world) yet death threats? Sexual assault? Seriously, please. Please 😫 No more of that crud. On an advertising platform. An Advertising blog panopticon made crazy.
The claims of environmental are similar, hmm.
So I decided to extend an olive branch, since there have been a movement towards cryptography with this technology, there's going to have to be another way to understand are foundherent conceptions of property rights. It cannot wait.
There's this guy who's got a Brian L Fyre papers, which are free to read. I enjoyed his comments on Marx being a literary landlord. Examining the contradictions within property laws, I do like to see it. As sombody who beleves in the withering with creative commons laws, good on you. Cannot comment on the nft open sea thing, though.
This social media is another gauntlet, once that leads into tension of another, of wanting to get picked and selected for an opportunity and the influx of attention.
What a world outside that's our grass.
What a Nice expression of grass, one that makes me proceed to 2–3 hours with our days.
This video made me think of types to either split hairs or think of changing definitions.
Nioce entertainment editorial on the emoification of the media as political science influenced our society and entertainment reflected that, especially with that game with the hedgehog and the gun.
Edgy Definition: Edgy emo is an exploration of themes of darkness and angst.
I don't mind prescriptive and cautionary tales, dark art has always a been as much as horror has been around, edger allan poe's poetry, such as comes from the sprouts of gothic literature has been into our art and entertainment.
Anne D. Bernstein (Rest in peace) Could be possibly written this a point of Dariah's characterisation, yet this is all the matter of coolhunting shown through the documentary the merchants of cool by Doug Ruskoff Welcome to the machine.
Marketing being neutral as with propaganda of ideological and material justifications, all that pillow. Well, as thinking marketised within sociopolitical contexts.
Another is when creativity and art, where meeting any criteria of measure ain't the point, or so the specifcation.
Another is race to the bottom and profit incentive* I forgot that.
Yep, one of the most expensive art forms, cinema of short stories get a recommended list via Couch Gregor.
I've been lurking and looking for potential Roger Eberts, Fantanos and new curators. They've been there, under the sea-level into esoteric circles of those who bring a function into the dizzying world of this culture.
I'm putting it here, sure, there's conflict theory and class analysis though, I'm not going to hold back on commitments tough. Radical Critique will still happen, even when it proceeds and changes and warps, from our entertainment reflection and our artistic interiors.
Curate Away, Div. Radical Marxist Critique. Curate away from the hermeneutics of media theory discourse. To and against our interpretation.
We need curators compared to our commercial publishers.
Here's some axiology and specs, although it shifts on the internet. Merely my attitude.
It's wrong to think that infinity of goods/services is a necessary been to believe, for it is an unmeasurable concept.
Sufficiency is the thing that fills the cup with the material baseherent (Baseherent, foundherent based on Susan Haack) conditions. With the knowledge, no perfect knowledge as the work continues.
It all continues, that's a mark of persistent in the face of adversity.
Guess I'll quote as practice.
G. A Cohen, "The promise of abundance is not the endless flow of goods, but a sufficiency produces with a minimum of unpleasant exertion"
Such a definition that can fit well with labour and with the creative to help auto-regulate. Auto-regulate to make it trial and error.
Anekantavad Was pondering on dichotomy as an opposite of love, despite the one stated by The Story Grid Is Hate.
With this centred of axiology, though, then it's with Terror.
Nothingness, the stark unknown. With the depths, of our animals, to the natural state of being, that's made with the stark eyes that stare back. Both unnatural and natural totality of states circling and showing with all the feelings combined.
To our labour that's made with measured or not, Intrinsic and reaching to a definition of self and the exter nal frameworks and structurations.
All of this and all of that simple and clear dichotomy.
(Anders Brevick of lone wolf)
Ah, the times I was an existentially hanging on 14 years ago, back when I atheism was a matter of talks and video logs of philosophical pondering were a thing, this may not be completely true.
What an artefact, it was the seeds of what was the 2016, then it was a next time.
People bring and try to litigate victims, arbitrarily, non-sequitor. Hard determination still lingering, some people can't be helped.
It's why I'm not a gamer.
People are self-reflecting, people are moving on. I'm moving on, Good.
No perfect illustration or literature exists, with the amount of utopia there's an endorsement and condemnation of it. If that hesitation takes over at the moment of process, it will never stop. That's 9 year, and it's at a point, wish casting.
So it's not a manner of enlightenment, or an enlightened passage.
Such an end, and exit ain't over when the writing continues.
Guess that's the benefit and the curse of the advertising campaigns, when the entertainment runs, the show must go on even if there's no audience, not even a slither of a mass audience.
The show must go on, and it must end of physicality.
They're tips of rote memorisations that I've not learned, that I've forgotten.
Overlooking the fact there are so many, from the ad creep, the ad creeping horizon of expectations. With the crawling sigma grind set and the crunch culture. That happens to be the case of the odds one out with courses.
Swimmers body all over again, instant results, before and afters, edits, get the she-bang in the flash, transform in the snap of the fingers.
Yep, too good to be true Survivorship bias, like fallacies, are informal fallacies which can't be quantified and need credibility to back it up. I'm going through my own experience with this.
Should include western ballet thing, yet that's my campism and politics talking. Still reassessing my own positioning on that matter, and will have to come back to you with another editorial.
Since i had to check out thought slime some more, here's my fave. Second to the hard work and Garry Vee.
Myself resonating with the anarchist critique of hard work and art commodification, being defined by price. Brings back to the image of imperfection that's back to wabi-sabi. Bad art, slop, it comes for all our lives, since it ain't an exact qualifier, it can't be made.
By good enough, that means the objective infinite money, apparently.
I'm being overly meticulous for a point, to the point of calorie tracker.

The lord's ram splash pages.
My blog pages (some of them lost as I deleted the doodles as I was done) Total collective time.
Look it that, my vertical blog doodles are even more inconsistent.
Another with my pinups. Last time it was five hours, it was typing up in m blog.
Sometimes I type in my phone, I read while walking, does that count? Reading for pleasure, reading for essays to learn a thing or two,
ugh, felt most tired with this one
This was all the industrial tradition of scientific management by Taylor. Yet I cannot determine or take it seriously, there's only a long succession of mise-en-place and the little.
Then the physical coaches like Eric helms with auto-regulation, fatigue management and deloading with workload sensitivity. That's not even touching on the work, and it's ontological characteristics that It could be questioned. Anti-work and the Burnout society with the virtue of uselessness.
Yet ho ho, all these work hours. They're all so arbitrary.
It's going to take a lot of unionizing and atomisation that will take on the industrial burnout machine, that's already displaced us.
Oh, and remember Ashton Hall's morning routine, there's this thing that it was pure advertising, and it's race to the bottom because it's become a commodity now.
Bragging on social media labour power has become advertisement now, and the cobra effect of that has seeped into it. They
I'll put a gag routine here.
Even with the work hour laws and such. They are not reflected with the advertisement for these kinds of motivational TikToks. Unethical advertisements driven by response rates and audience capture.
This applied latterly with my programming of artwork has been better, so I'll share it.
With the medevil of the hackneyed methods of servicing informal groups, this of a circular pattern regarding our desires in contrast with another. That's a matter of where the swings of digital society go.
There it happens, one tip and tack and formulations and depictions collide, then cease to be.
Mechanical acting and mechanical mediocrity that happens to us till community, from outsider imaginations and then into new sectors of the net. Not contingent on the industry structuralisations and then into a new modern era of society construction.
Brick by brick, together, upwards.
Such as with predetermined mechanizations, the arbitrary wills of wild justices. That the veil of blind romanticism of that of our modern society is to be peeked.
Welcome to the machine part two. Of our dysfunctional business models. Of marketability, marketability, of marketisation and unmarketerisation. Such is our commercial or uncommercial strategy.
Oh, I was thinking about frequency, I will put Jay Levinson quote in my writing. Oh, that's trust
Well, that's the amount of way can teach that advertising was a "tax on an unremarkable product" being false, ( I'm misquoting here) Yet, nobody's consistent, at least with people buying advertisements, they aren't going to go away.
I know there's something remarkable with the Kim Kardashian book deals, including the deal with Ninja, cui bono (Who benefits) can be an obvious question here, especially with commercial publishers.
Oh the is-ought between David Hume's is a remix/metaphor of making and publishing, especially digital publishing/traditional publishing. Something ain't translatable with there's a jump.
10 min Had to think, this does not apply to hobbyists.
I know I shouldn't be reading advice in YouTube comments, yet this one applies "@Solastiel1 day ago A well-intentioned version of this advice would be akin to, "don't even think about marketing until the manuscript is finished, then you can worry about appealing to your demographic." The idea that good books possess some innate power to find the right audience by virtue of quality alone is complete Prosperity Gospel nonsense."
It is time to recursive logic and ideology itself.
Why, it's a means to look inwards ourselves and into our on untestable logics and maths, not necessarily contingent on our empirical, noumenally existing with such a matter of idea.
Things that are stuck within the headcase until they come out. Into a tunnel of infinite regress.
That's the common objection of fundamentalism as an epistemological justification, since of the continuous bases that follow afterwards. That knowledge crossword ain't existent within foundherntism so it moves into a huge tower of turtles.
(I'll never sketch myself as the nostalgia critic again, and it's not even a coherent expression because it's old stuff, yet.)
Time to describe a bad decision. Following from Seth's Claude Dog Post , I've deliberately postponed this review.
Short version: I've tried my best to not make this an entertainment spectacle by making it into a format video with bells and whistles. Course I took is off-the-mark, and I don't recommend, I then think more about Licence quoting a Cryptography guy and calling it. Due to the illiteracy of licensing, I had to rewrite my TOS.
Longer version
I bought a course by Seth. I'm not convinced with my wabi-sabi tendencies. I buy it so you don't have to! I'm going through my disagreements and snorting book reviews. Maybe out of parasocial relationship, I've decided to buy his silly course on AI.
Welp, Here are 35 pounds discounted. I could not resist. Most interesting was building a career without AI. Comparing it with the weather and the species like Kevin Kelly. Yet here we go with a another movement I cannot predict.
Then I was recommended of Midjourney and Claude from Seth, and to put it on Youtube, youch. I haven't been into perplexity as it was.
With the ideas here, I'm certain that he's going somewhere here with a workable plan. He had going with something with productivity and value and why others must go and be impresario. A leader and not a follower (ain't that what entrepreneurs do?) Yet, urgh. It's still 85 quid now of this writing.
Axiological arguments of value creation do not apply to a Taylorist Industrialist, by the way, I think he notes that himself, yet that means that with are own urbanism that we are inter-meshed now it's a subject to be explored. That he did within his song of sigificance,
He then goes into tasks and projects, within how that such a thing will be driven my freelancer cobbler automation and that clients concerned about productivity by the industrialist would as Henry Ford, those are thoughts are another time.
He claims lawyers certain professions aren't gone out of in five years real estate broker, truck driver, a pharmacist, a daycare worker is inconceivably not going to be replaced.
So now I cover with better uses of what techno-domnion and techno-affliation with such a mindless thing, he draws on deterministic free will and Daniel Dennet's Intentional stance. Oh, He also makes a claim that people don't go to Hackneyed Movies from Hollywood any more, I get not courting their opinion. Yet, Disney get's traction.
What can happen with this though is Seth's attraction with determinism as a position compared to Dennet's Compatiblism in regard to interpreting free will when it comes to comparing this tech with autonomy.
I ended up writing the review. (It's going to be licence ramblings from now on. Already done it.
"As a wabisabi illustrator, Independent. The implications of using AI have reached wildfire within anti-ai, I hope copyright cases get turned down because being into creative commons licensing, attempting to out-license it ain't going to work. It's nice to see somebody try to cool the flames down.
It's inevitable that in our times, though, I guess illustrators are either going to embrace or walk the opposite direction. Impresarios such as us.
I mean, What will happen with disconnection of this day and age. I do hope that there going to be more essays that don't muddy the waters.
Brings me back to Niel Postman's Technopoly, that's such a thing. What the implications with our own designs such as it will pursue the conflicts here. You're thoughts on Henry Ford are poignant.
Thanks."
Got my Certificate, eh, yeah. There's that credentialism that's apparently I have to show now. Ugh, Udemy.
Am I supposed to be proud?
Further notes.
Technopoly out of all the technological books, this felt the most relevant to what's happening today. Even with the last two. This was, despite the disagreement western bias of Cold War terms, eeriey similar to Alex Avile reported on within the second video.
Well, thanks, I guess. I don't think AI-philes will get much, AIphobes will get average with the end with Seth's plan for those who plan to not build their business with it average, cannot fully recommend. He does summarise his ideas in his next post, hmm.
Considering Steve Klabnick has a similar to mine, with being wary'n technological puritan. Not a Tech opportunist. I'm simply not the industrial bottom line, not Disney, not Nintendo, not King who managed to lay off its employees.
Oh, It's still generative Ai, well that could be a marketing term right now. Now for the last notes.
. Jumping in bed with For-profit companies for content ID is not going to work, a nightmare system as it is. I'd wish they call it copyright infringement, but everything is loaded with RFAA terminology. It is even argued that it ain't the case, the push to make fair use and fair dealings obsolete to apparently control the diffusion models and LLMs. Trying to marketize style will only consolidate power.
Again, licensing tends to encourage monetize/marketerize-or-die kind of logic, which I'm trying to avoid.
. Environment is a loaded gun, none of the essayists or pundits than Alex Avile, fight me on that one. I'd have to limit my micro-blogging after this. Bluesky and Xshwitter aren't going to be deliberately misinformed licensing.
. Education and connections with controlling tech have been noted with Peter Thiel. Along with certain reaction streamers championing it (not all). They should not be taken seriously anyway, anybody who takes thou opportunist ambulance chasers are confirming Neil postman has said about Amusing ourselves to death.
12 minute video, apart from the thing, this is going to move towards a hyperreality. How it is malicious theory to control with aimless categorization and normalisation as the maths cannot be determined by those who preprogram it. I mean Alex Avile has already touched on educational programs who happen to use with the Khan Academy.
This is a question for future generations, and the ones that will come afterwords.
Merely shows how what's at stake here.
Maybe I'm drawing a close parallel to the postmodern villain that Video's Team wrote. Copyright will end with Disney wanting to license our thoughts.
Lets hope for copyright-gate by the sovereign citizen types
"Unpopular opinion: the pro-copyright anti-information freedom response to generative AI is reactionary, and it’s bad in all the usual ways reactionary things are bad. The tech is here to stay. The only thing being decided as a matter of IP law is whether open models will be a thing, or if the big rights holders will get to make a lot of money by licensing proprietary models. As before, I prefer a world where information and tech are free and accessible. Like, I understand "I don't want to be put out of a job" but I really don't get "I want the tool that puts me out of a job to cost $159.99/mo from Adobe who licenses it from Getty, so I can rest easy knowing it was not trained on anything I made". IP law can deliver the latter, not the former. Right on cue. Perfectly legal licensed training data. For OpenAI, Midjourney, and Google. Not for open source models folks can hack on and run locally. (If the copyright maximalist doctrine prevails.) All the downside, none of the upside. Yay for copyright!" He points to this link https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/
So I pour it, the course and the discourse. I'll leave looking at the AI entertainment channels next time.
