Underground Empire

 Critical theory of the holding dialects of sociological control of the underground.


With the abuse of IP laws, and the way of tech is controlled with out the ways these ideas are made with our own desires.


Things like the technocritsm and technowarfare are handled with finesse over the commodity determinism I see on social media, and its a thing that's on the same level of Neil Postman's amusing ourselves to death ( minus his literary chavenism.)

The tests means to control and to come at home have always been an account, matter i can overlook with his handling of elitism and populism in one dance that was like " wow, some freak legit conspiracy of negative organising happening here"

Inexorable Fall The reckoning with the falling rate of profit


Ah, Nicolas

We are in a semotic world, of non-symbolic to meaning proliferation. We are within the linguistic meshes of today.

This signals to the middle class alienation and the way technology comes from the lonliness angle, quoting althusser and other modern sociologists in a quest to understand and see where the rate of profit will fall.

Even if wrong, the entertainment industry itself with the spectacle and way it operates brings the ideas of our loneliness of the middle class revolutionary potential now in the era of ideas of our coming epoch. So that with that way of suburban sprawl that our own ideas.

Then there is the delusion meshes we cohere our web of ideas together into a sense of suttonesque village view into the world of others as they way the techno capitalists have calculated ways to provide a lone experience to the outside world, even though that naughty liberal Andy thinks otherwise.

I do feel that loneliness though, as with all these times moving into this coming epoch of more view of a social society as the cultural tech seeps and moves into everything, and how little circles of microblogs to community's of expression of the 'third place' or our right the city, it the radical planning he proposes with moving from the professional class and the middle class like myself as a revolutionary class, to programmer to artisan to one.

Of course, this fledgling programmer in his attempt to build the foundherent bridge (i'm using haackian epistemology.) To build another a mess of crossword intersection, it's all the way that it brings insight.

Slight nit-pick, I'd like more bullet points. for the punch, ty.

Can I have some otium?

Back at it again with the classical labour theory of value


How to Read Like a Parasite by Daniel Tutt.

Resentment and otium of the aristocratic class.

This not a dive of an aristocrat or a nilosophy (Ni as in hate)

Yet with such concepts, there's a thing with resentment and the eternal return, which are conservative concepts that have made me think of the literature that I'm trying to reconcile and understand. They may have crept up; this document attempts to rehabilitate while also being western Marxism to a modern conception with Daniel Tutt bringing in other authorities like Byung-Chul Han.

With the attempt to bring the concepts on his YouTube channel and make it a thesis of trying to exploit the little niches of his thought and cynicism that was brought with meaning of religion, morality and all that jazz of not know his attempts with his past. With me listening to the conception of animosity that is made flesh.

I don't know if any of Nietzsche or as they call him an physcopath can be attached today, yet this was insightful. 4.5 stars.

Psycho Cinema by Helen Rollins

 


It's fun how theories of mind get updated and reiterated.

Apart from misinformation of LLMs and diffusion models on two pages (I'd recommend Nicolas d'Varrreal's A Soul of a New Type for the full epistemology). With collaboration, understanding this tech is possible. Daniel Tutt Interviewed him.

Pretty impressive using psychology and Freaud and Lack, including Hagel. I've seen such modes of thought as enlightening as I explore the manner of idea/expression. With that, such is the commencement of abstract and concrete making of the mind. It's nestled its way through multiple theories of over the political map and other ways that jigger around.

So this one is going the typical dialectical materialism manner of monistic creation. I do like to think mental states can be both independent and dependent, varying on the modes of production. So this fits with the idea that with a complement to the complement of film at the end, it's Slavoj Žižek's Perverts Guide to Ideology extra.

This is total independence with me at my workstation and wordplay right now.

On plot:Spectacle C.Dereck Varn

Memory of C.Dereck

This is a comment:

Being an entertainer, I can only find the concepts of Harlan Ellison's The Glass Teat inspiring to create literary entertainment. This concept aligns with Byung-Chul Han Cognitainment concept with my craft, I seek to make it into the creative commons. I can only assume our old copyright framework aids in this diffuse atomisation, like you said.

With all the cargo culting though.This may be the limits of our meliorism, granted with our social apparatus of these platform capitalists, left to our own devices to raise consciousness.

So I can only think of connection while still at the tension of these commodity relations as an edutainment creative class owning the means of production. Then carry on.

Seeing the normalised advertising and commodifying proffesion left to us, along with the subvertisement. The only thing on these platforms is locked within. It's arguable that with all this automated white-collar work now, it's going to first to go. It's a fascinating subject that came from aristotle of plot:spectcale, Robert Mckhee's argued in one of his craft books there is no distinction.

I guess we will have to move on with commodified para-social relationships from platform to platform. Thx for the talk, been doing my best to inform my praxis while not falling into the pragmatism traps.

More on entertainment, good and bad. I've read about:

Harlen Ellison's The Glass Teat 1+2 And his speech on toilets
Byung-Chul Han's The Good Entertainment > Those are goof
Robert McKee Character
Nicolas D Villarreal a soul of a new type

David Foster Wallace talk on consumerism > mid
The Attention merchants : Tim Wu

Neil Postman on Amusing Ourselves to Death and Technopoly. ( I don't know how long those ideas have lasted) >Negative

On Piracy, not on stipends or royality.


The anarchist zines happened, with all the contradictory ideologies along with the

Oh look, an anarchist zine library with all the points of disagreement, yet with preservation of knowledge like the Internet Archive. I'm not sure if I'm going to read them all, yet here it is.

I'm not even an anarchist. Given that these ideas are meant to spread, with my fair share of disagreements, it can get too anti-dom of a sort.

It's all research of a sort not fitting for a microblog. They do share a view of ip law abolition, though.

They may call me tankie, or that term, even though I identify as a hobby sociologist.

Notes on oversetext design course

. The meta of social media is the limit of the craft, with people copying conventional IP to thirstrap/tail at the treat. Is that what one of the polemical essays did? Try to highlight this cargo cult. The commercial illustration mindset!

Wow, banging on the factory settings was a great banger, with its polemics of the one-dimensional man of the standardisation of our consciousness.

The tyranny of the firm is one that's to be solved through other essays which deal with contract law and freelancers alongside that with the chokepoint of vertically integrated media.
Freelancers founded into a new venture should act more like enterprising firms; who'd have thun
k it.

The video explaining modernism and its polemical connotations was spot on.

Wonder what oversetect will be after I Post this? Regardless, I'll thank him for the list.

Book avoidance List 3

this link, hnm From the writer of the honest broker, or the writer which is a Christian
. It still exists in religion. I'm going to keep tagging around, and this post is inspired by it.

The Secret

" The law of attraction" along with that, placebo with misinformation and it cannot transcend cancer, apparently. These are the weird popular things recommended by a middle age to my teens that do not understand the world, yet offer a confidant solution of a network scam.

Such is the productivity of the neoliberal dream. BS

Seth Godin's Lynchpin

Most likely in the common sense of productivity advice, gotta take guts to be put on the recommendation and anti-recommendation! Wow, that's an effect that will not go away.

Mainly because his points are clarified better (if you ignore what he says within the east) in his song of significance as a art as a human resource, rather than body with his Taylorism rant, this was his attempt to bring his own ideas, yet it's all the rambling of the amygdala and lizard brain which is wrong btw.

Girl Wash your Face

(I'm not going to read this, going to have an opinion not based on evidence anyway.)

This is BS productivity, well, something that trusts the cynics attempt of the industry plant with high Disney production connection and end up proselytize, turning every moment into inspiration porn.

Ideally, avoiding this burn-out 'advice' (Heavy snarl quotes) Of a heavy short feedback loop of attention then back again, there's a churning nightmare of burn-out potential competition with toxic productivity, and it's all there is.

Having an abusive family is no excuse for suffering schedules. Well, my 2022 examination was thorough, huh? 

I'm linking this again, okay by (Can ignore the avast sponsership.)

Status and Culture


 

Even out of the bounds of our epistemic enterprise of our academia, the main road's status motivations, and incentives still persists.

" Everybody is fishing for status, let nobody tell you otherwise " some Dragon Odendo, altered quote, probably. Well, Transcend, for that matter. By junction of there engagement. Social is the proceeding semiotic of economic, that's made of exchange value and set - price. Price, meant to stop haggling by the Quakers.

After the price and the exchange, there's the use value of the physics and mechanics of the things produced, artisan craft on the things of those who own their conditions of labour.

So Status, Rigour (sometimes that happens in academia, to and not.) Pretending not what other people do.

Status is a invisible ruler that effect to our micro decisions. From scarcity, to our abundance.

Other concepts i picked up 🛋📖 ( from the status book, author comes from fashiony background. )

The wretched of the earth : a cautionary note on reactionary humanism


(I did the audiobook, I'm trying to remember my impressions.)
Reactionary Humanism, and Reactionary Essentialism

Dismissive self-abnegation and wanting to return to the mechanism of simple returns, masquerading as a humanistic drive is reactionary, sorry.

Humanism itself has served colonalist ends of a unjust hierarchy of state domination, as Franz Fanon states. Then we now the ideology is like any other, something we can lose faith into.

Recognition and resource distribution, under and over our with a just rule of law that determines our process. Will be in the evolution, not being bullies, and landlordism that this book describes. Such is the john lockean justification of seeing everything as a fronteir and private companys overlooking there negative externalities.

Well, scientific management of our attention, through body and intellect will be a slippery slope of doom. Humans along with its artifices. Not a doom I like.

Thanks for the Caution.

Materialist semiotics


Nice outsider art.

The beauty of our incoherence

Down to our linguistic beginnings.

Sememe, introduces new concepts that those most reductive concept of meaning. Along with its structuralism into a mindset of a wholistic splendour that I'm happy to delve in. Hopping from Lenin and Althusser and all those from the past of Marxist Leninism, it's certainly a dive into what it means to knowledge in post-llm era.

Such is today, as I've remained my sanity with Susan Haacks Foundherent Positivism/anti-positivism synthesis, along with the criteria of the analogy of the crossword of figuring out a play of words to fit in within interpellated spaces, signifying meaning with the ways the lead into a holistic picture. So this book aligns with its knowledge, with the attempts to help bring a structuralist take on this new turn of events.

Casting down the singularity, while also brushing aside the misrablism I see on microblogs.

Or, that's how it's seen, or what helped my soundness of mind with the LLM/diffusion provocateur wars between Musk/Sam Altman, with the forbidden fruit knowing a new framework that rejects of fundamental radicals (Except for the licensing ones) No fixedness with the sign and signifier, providing the structure of understanding an interpretation that fills the bowls.

So yeah, I did enjoy it, even at the little memoir at the end. There's little gems on the long tail of distribution like this. Do recommend.

Shadow Libraries Save em'

Look at those CLOWNS anti-ai wash academia most communist concept!

 Here's a link to the >> Shadow library Book << as you're reading. A call to protect the commons with 


This is the life, of our shared pool of knowledge in the commons to us.
Yet so to radicalisation (For all the wrong reason) are made to make sure it goes away by those who go I'm just doing my job to relatable/symbolic capital.

Radical Polarization, principled within a stereotype of a cartoon villain taking all art, regardless of the socioeconomic complexity. Along with the government, that's a matter beyond my comprehension of the way, with its interactions with copyright in Poland and the manner of environment. How decentralized platforms happen to work with regulation with the wall of shame, to the means of holding it with account to our civil autonomy. 

Now, we get to see that even with those who do and it's a long 4 day read.

The craft of natural sciences and the social, It's a prideful thing to be proud of.

Mechanical optimism Dario Amodei, along with Doomerism examined

  Dario Amodei seems to be sick of the doomers, I am too.


Guess with AI visions, I'll leave with a positive note. Machines o
f loving grace

That's the positive aspects of ai. Biological pathogens being sorted along with the ways of lays being rigorously analysed, not seen and a foundation within discourse, only to test theories.

Really gives me hope, even though it's coming through anthropomorphic, well, I can converse now with capital. Big does not necessarily mean bad if it's governed well. We all can't be noble savages.

Greater wrong has written by Doomerism and it's shades, time for emoooooo.

I'm a little ennui frankly, myself. Yet these layers of the onions are the self-described doomers.

Yet the idea of robot overlords getting bored as I skimmed through my the mathematics as entertainment made me interested, yet that tells something more about me than. It's by @jdp.extropian.net What about this, and Intermingling with the LLM engineers now because why not, This is what happens when a journalist does takes and even citizen journalisms.

Can't broad brush all believers at this rate.

Enjoy those links in the doomer examinations, because I'm not clicking em, to confess.




Oh, Fresh Episode of The last invention is here. I'll be putting these under the Beep_boop to show how much editorials I've done on AI. Clambering for certainty with opinions to how to find peace of mind.

I mean, bonus lecture at the risks and assessments of the risks, even the one I've done with psychosis one.

Co-Int By Ethan

Beep boop, read my wires boy, read my robutt wires.
That's it! I'm reading a book because the copyright wingers using there existance on abolshing fair use are too much.

 So I decided to try to get my moneys worth via reading research in this discovery of llms/diffusion models.

(Even if it's bad, I've read Ayn Rynd, is this comparable? Part of the writer's training! HOOOOOOOOOO!) Lets see how much this fascinates or tires me.

Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick
I've changed my opinion

Starts with explanations of weights, and token prediction. Existential risk and ethics, lawsuits, Japan, ethics discussion. This if it's all a matter of understanding what the tech can do in terms of capabilities and incapabilities is going to really have to see through.

These four rules are his tenets that he elaborates on for a possible alternative with dealing with the tech, how people hide, how people use it, and what are the possible sci-fi futures that move along it. Here's his Ai Research blog.

I shall put him in the neutral AI category and better-reporting-that-Ed-Zetron-box. I'm going to keep his machine inferences under wraps.

Guess this is under the editorial because somebody having a nuanced take on machine learning is impossible now with this naughty journalist seeking those hot, HOT scoops!

It's over-editorialised now, huzzah.

Oh, He's got a bullied by doomers, thankfully he has the way. Others have committed to comment, calling bluesky a containment containing all the tantrums.

That's my close to looking into a nuanced AI thinker.

Doomerist Cult This Black Box of Doom

Doomerist to the anti. I really like this book. 5 stars, Americana angst like Infinite Jest. Fully recommend.

It's the way that's the, Humiliation machine, of insecurities.
The scene of the drama coming from the phone and the tension between the drama inside the internet and then

Then all the doom'n gloom with the discourse of ai, woman, the world, and misery, all ending in a place that's most hopeful. Where all the characters are made to go through waves and then the ending of the legelese, mwa. Being a internet dweller, I have to get off with all this long tail of discourse that we all sit in.

Oh I'm rating books on goodreads now!

Deep Dark Fantasy, Kink Shadow Book


Abstract expressionism, it works again.

It claims to be a self-book, a horny one. A sadomasochistic spiritualism.

"Fear and desire are the same" 

Physch Book of bringing the energy of the tension of pleasure and pain.
Ty Gacha

Orgasmic meditation of an axiom, to be not tested, tries to develop from the law of attraction and calls out its contradictions, provided with finding dark parts of the subconscious and deciding to be at one of all the under-beings.

Yet all this antithesis and agonism of respecting ones subconscious dark side really sounds like good role-play, and it's all within the word play with the term meaning irreducible abstraction to the expression of a being that is shared with child and adult alike, it's the means that brings us together and provides the groundwork to a community.

Black and white, the conceptional distinction made to believe in the systems and metaphysical engines of our worlds.

While suggestion pleasure sessions of the darkest selves of anti-instrument to bring out the intrinsic parts then made to understand like some sort of vent comic, coming the most of existential part of the discovery of it all.

Discovery, that what this is, not fanciful invention.

It happens to dive into recommending a bdsm club too at the end, I can't really believe of the law of attraction though, and Carolyn puts here critique forwards, it's all about sexual exploration, such one can't get off made actualised of a discovery of another chapter of one's life.

Good stuff.

Subsumed by exchange Realism/nonrealism, Depressive Hedonism

 Guess this is a frank confessional on state-craft. Examining ideologies and then moving back into diplomatic entertainment. This will be the most labelist piece, and all these are not to be pressures as I circulate through the ideological forces around my time and place.

DIPLOMATIC ENTERTAINMENT, even that has contradictions, don't you see? Yet here we go with another narrativising pull. As a host! Yet State-craft opinion is something for those who never tire of it.

Play this while I type, shall we?

Defeatism, miserablism. And Depressive hedonism. Is that the way of this little book, recommended by Alex Avile? It is all, merely gothic, gothic materialism of fragmented self dwindling in the vastness. I dig it. I've had to ameliorate with looking into the darkness and bringing the stuff out of me.

There's a lot to appreciate here, If I can skip the talks of Stalinism/Marxist Leninism then it's pretty good of capturing the mass media cultish zeitgeist that predominates our lives as capital is made to social, then it's returned in that of a realist mindset as everything is reduced into an exchange value of such with all the gift economy's returning into a questionable mirage.

Everything to be bastardized I guess, Or what was Marc Fischer's goal of acid communism to come up with from such concepts to our ends and desires, of such drab material gothic ends.

Then it goes back again. Yet his quote "It's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism" Wow, that draws an image within the cosiere circles. They're all hidden away within private accounts of twitter now, 2018 was a way to go.

Well, it certainly shines a light of my own pluralist tendencies and ideological presuppositions. Twitter feels like it's regressed, along with its containment unit of Bluesky, and I'm here, wondering the hours like it shall get along. I keep flipping back and forth of the principles of anarchism and Marxism scroll from the site as things draw around from confessional after confessional, it feels like I'll have to examine all the statecraft structuralisations and introspect.

Now there's tension between the Luddites and the accelerationists with that tension, I cannot relate to the Luddites any more due to the guild failure, since with my own confession like with Harlan Ellison, even guilds and unions can sell out.

Even as a drift on, I'm resonating with Neil Postman's and Mark Fischer's Accelerationist. One that is different, one with technology. Yet now, at this rate, We are to deal with such contradictions as of now.

Why, oh why, do I happen to come, where every artist justifies making money with Michelangelo and Shakespeare commercial plays, that the Mona Lisa was a non-profit project. Oh, such a complication.

1Dime, Badmouse, Finnishbolshevik (A little, one video on libertarian socialist rants), and Burn These books, Noj Rants. I keep reading these statecraft books. I'm not even as I can speak with authority as a drifting fabric on soviet historiography. Undecided as a ponder through, I've still got the society of the spectacle silently judging me as try to incorporate it within the fictional complexities of my artwork.

Thanks for reading. I'll get back to it. Along with the labelism. Your still going to get labelled anyway.

(Oh, and you're wondering why there cannot be between unity, I think of this by Badmouse, could not fully follow him when he left the ml space, yet with the time he's become a libertarian socialist. Welp, that's what ideological primordial souping does to you. Still like his electorlism, and baby vaush video minus the adultism.)

(I don't even watch Vaush, guess a lot of info has been revealed about him that Badmouse was incorrect about, oh well, that's truth value)

Neither Techonopoly of mediamonopoly (That's what copyright is btw, state-sanction monopoly that is there to empower the publishers, not us), It could be the with the right of the city and with being "A loving resistance fighter", or a diplomatic entertainer. So that we can move past such a pleasure principle and interpassive proconsumerism that we can see our own cycles.

Deep, man. Some concepts to take and give away, was he really pushing for a space-communism? Or was it meant

That's what these stream of consciousness happen though, hypocrisy naturally emerge, then with error theory they are naturally for a better collaboration. Or 'better' means monopoly/monopsomy.


Addendum:

(Further post-edit note, I'm not following Cory Doctorow much now, he's right on copyright yet this time to understand encrudificaiton, it has to go deeper than that when it comes to host service deterioration.)

Chuck Palahniuk as Editor

I'm doing these editor books as entertainment now, even if my training ain't going to be registered.
"World W**** three, Batman P***, Sign my D***"

"Writing has to be one of the loneliest professions in the world" Really chuck?

"You don't write to make friends" - Joy Williams (Within the weird plot/dialogue chapter I did not make sense off) Robert Mckee had a better book on dialogue.

He shares random, separate quotes, his bios with working with advertisers and writing is the most interesting.

Despite making edgy jokes and autism it feels mis aimed, it does not really feel that reactionary. It's selective with our ideas, as I did feel like what he's trying to come at from his perspective of behind an art's degree.

Maybe I'm jaded, though.

All ideas and public resonance with advertising being a crap shot, many does not know that Chuck was trying to compartmentalise reading David Foster Wallace along with other books and trying to process those feelings into a book of advice and going. "If you were my student"

He tends to go Respectability>Likeability within a character, that's where the character traits align of the patterns of the mode of a sympathetic Protagonist.

"Don't do dreams in developing tension" Well, David Lynch may have a disagreement with that. "It's my instructions I was taught" Okay Chuck.

3/5 first chapters

Next is the process. Ideation. Talks of piracy, talks of superheros doing inexplicably things with the comic writers, he's an unfriendly sort, yet you expect his ideation to travel and flow through.

Then at the times when it comes to the idea where he takes you, it's the most outlandish, off-the-wall ideas with his Hollywood formula which I'm most likely never going to follow, or maybe I do, if you've got your pattern-seeking eyeballs up.

Dirty entertainment book, maybe it will be used as reference, I'd prefer the Story Grid or Robert McGee.

What a dirty, dirty boook. DIRTY! Slap it with a rolled newspaper dirty!

3/5 still, pick'n choose.

(Oh, the best part was him dealing with hungry advertisers about not delivering enough eyeballs to the Superbowl, shows how advertisers of short-term and self-absorbed as they could not handle his character. )

Erotic Labour and our Ethics

 

IDK what this fat illustration is.
What a horny, horny little essay.

Enjoyed it, playing it silently on twitch. Recommended by Anita Sarkeesian.

Oh, that BDSM. The chatrooms, of the ways, and the lack and showing of integrity of or works from an erotica writer no less, lots of manly men she wrote, now out of the horny haze, she's written here own book. An essay of sex workers speaking their own stories along with documenting their ways to make history, is the written language that are made.

From the first inception of the 'collective shout' and then of various scares through the ages. Then it continued with a silly ending of people venting their sexual catharsis off, Ain't as dirty as Chuck Paluniuk. (Going to take a shower). It's a little amusing with the amount of sex toy talk.

(As for the deep fake stuff, that's another technical episode I will have to ponder on.)

While all the F****** along with the note on deep-fake software being used with the disrespect of the sex working class. That's a note to keep in mind with P*** being a underscore ugu buga on YouTube. For we all need sexual tasks like appetites and drives, and it's the thing that common, arguably too common. This tries to argue to be not common, which is fruity.

Recommended. For erotica will forever remain.

Who's afraid of gender?

I've tried to put gender into my art, with it taking it seriously rather than an annoyance.

Oh Judith Butler, haven't read the others yet this one without the audiobook experience, and it's the anti-gender movement that's within the growing collective shout and other evangelical groups, this is a ideological dissection by an anarchist. (Expect the words authoritarian and totalitarian to be used here and there, although I don't think such of a meaning given my own position.)

It does get in the core clarification to sex/gender as a co-construction with Anna-Faust-Sterling, and it's the best part, along with shooting down how gender is an imperialist invasion made by the Vatican. Such a matter is a physio-semantic construction of not understanding what gender within the conservative groups. It is all but a phantasm.

Such is a matter to transition from fundamentalism to foundherentism in terms of epistemological structures that we are to see a shift from these ruling and attacks, from collective shout and the moral majority.

Alex avile and Abigail Thorn, two youtubers who have delves into such a matter for defending transgenderism. If you'd like the light version.

( Oh, and the note of the lack of literacy of those who have merely read the bible along with those who have seen YouTube videos is something to note with the audiences to this kind of regressive campaigning, some have only read the bible, some others read minimally. Others have circled with the books, so this bookspeculation. )
