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

Confusion Matrix
There's a machine learning term confusion matrix, or 'viewbotting service', and it includes spell checkers and the AI detectors not working.

Current license opinions, of civic DUTY.
- DRM is bad; it absolves civic duty. I have a mind that can informally judge ownership
- Ultimately, I have to conclude scraping ought to be public domain. not private equity or government. Any readjusting of IP law to fit their interest will lead to injustice.
from the notes, fair use/fair dealing and public domain. - Commercial firms ought to have their copyright reduced. Specifically Disney. Vertical media outlets should not have monopoly power over non-profits and freelance business acts. (Disney does not care about non-profits, it can take a
- Protect Public domain, virality is a crapshoot other than the direct response platforms. Celebrity endorsements vertically travel at moments at the algorithm.
- Since there's no accepted conventional definition of plagiarism, it can be debated ad infinitum; it's infinitely generative. Conceptually and abstractly. So lawyers are needed for agreements. Yet the agreements themselves can become overwrought, so a handshake deal works best between client relations. (This ain't natural law, hence why the court and lawyers exist )
- Keeping the idea of the idea/expression is a useful fiction.
- Freedom of expression + Right to oblivion > Copyright. Since state-sanctioned monopolies don't need the first two, since popularity isn't needed. There are cases of unjust profit entitlement/fraud, yet they are always in favour of concentrated industries, so anti-trust first.
- That being said, a freelancer can be a case of vulturism, yet there's way more vulturism by Alen Dean Foster and in other cases. Creatives are losing their design rights out of silly clauses. (It's always disney/nintendo.)
- Nobody should make a living as a copyright troll, completely.
(These are all my unforced opinions.) - As time goes on, we are going to see more indefensible conceptions of the anacho-capitalist concept of self-ownership (If somebody does it, someone else will.) It's simpler; nobody does due to public domain. Non-binding and unforced with not statuatory.
(If you want to check the law notes. and recreate advocacy groups)

on the lindy effect
WITH NO OWNERSHIP Welcome to the creative commons. Are you surprised?
So much intake of consumption of content with the way it's like it's got that way. Industry complex of condescension on the front page, or am I looking at the mindless entertainment in infront of the front page?
This is the best the place has to offer.
Then you have to protect your attention.
Then with manners it goes. To look in the other places.

Abstract/Concrete
All the abstract mentalities, of ideas and non-reality, and all the physical reality. To the amount we take, there are few qualitative degrees that warrant selection.
There's that design, with the idea made into a digital and analogue expression.
With that in mind, such a way of trying to squeeze blood from a stone is the dialectical approach that happens.
Oh, thinking and reflecting on the idea/expression dichotomy.

Cruelly Eliminativeist and cruely Empiricist
Why I'm against it: it's not fun not having beliefs and sensations.
Crafting crafter of craft. Rather than the unique one. To the way that the origins of things aren't unique.
Such is the status of old money and cool money.

Honest hacks vs depressed hacks
Depending on the socialised means of production. The artisan city/suburban dweller class.
It's work of art/entertainment paradox working here.
I'm going to twist this post by Seth and Harlan Ellison it up.
There are the vendors who will listen. Hits, specs. These are easy-to-work-with entertainers. Able to connect with.
Then there's the depressed one who hits the spec, yet feels rote. These could be talents.
I mean, that's the difference; the artisan is a creative with tension in the craft.
The craft itself of the depressed feels rote and standardised. These could be tantrums as performances.
An honest hack entertainer delivers on times, understands specifications, yet can go beyond the mechanical performances of eliminative materialism and then attempt an organsim to delight with something remarkable with the client relationship,
What is the best craft for the illiterate?
Then there's the logograms, of not exaggerating the exaggerated, to not lead into hyperbolic messages.
Well, the simple first impression does make sense with the direct advertiser it's making that way.
Simple front impressions.
Bip bip bip.

On vulgar Auteurism, Vulgar style/genre
Yes, even with style, even with genre, one can still be bad.
Axiology does not care about the legalese pf
the front cover, the performance the the resonance which follows after, beyond the natural law.
So that from court of law to public. It remains the distinction of low and high still. It can be suspended to serve plenty of stimulation.
Or YOU TEARING ME APART!! LISA WITH SYMBOLIC JUSTICE
video 🔻🛋 on the best/worst over-distributed vanity film. In the spirit of Robert Mcghee. Of the spectacular production and the founderent manueavuring through the industry. Deproffesional within the social media.

On Tyranny of convenience, the reassurance machine
Boring =/= Trivial
All those things indicated a matter of day expressed to be somewhere normalised of oughtiness of little moral judgements of the day become a code of ethics followed and into a way of life.
Well
Such a matter is what we're dealing with tech that can become something of a quick utility monster fix.
Now it's time to not be contingent on the utility alone. With excuses with that.
Recognizing (From Kant) The external and internal and vital conceptual distinction of consciousness is necessary to understanding. Well, Is there a distinction for the commodity and the fetishised.
Not the body fetishism, the most profitable that a rhetorical error.

Guess it's time to understand this game, or status game, anti-status game, or status game collapse.
Well, well, even with this cussy article brought to new values of reassemble the most simple governmental factors to plays.

The perks of obscurity
Academics are avoiding xwitter, or microblogs, some of them are in substack, they are going there, I found a good post on obscurity.
There's little attention. No data for interupption advertising.
Thousands of merchandise, gone.
Fan fictions all around. Shippers, and all that.
No Status value to follow.
Cherish this moment while it lasts, I trust you, don't I?
( Oh, I've still have to learn to do a sales call, and a payment specification. )

If you know, you know, sex work vendors/suppliers governance
I here plenty of flippant accounts with the porn community, or the gooning community, and then there's the masturbating yourself to death with substack posts. Is it a dead end? Well, It goes back to Queens blade critique by Bennet the sage.
" queensblade of being too good at targeting their intended demographic, but that doesn't mean it has to come with all the narrative baggage that it does in terms of succeeding with their demographic as well as being a generally alright story, queen's blade falls short
"Cookie cutter porn accounts farming commissions" - anonymous, It was with a somebody dissatisfied, and it's coming along with my own that, this idea that you have to do it, is the pervading idea of sexcess, forced labour. It can reek of desperation, or it can not, If they are friendly, I'm not calling it out, only picking out the hustlers, because fewer hustlers mean I can get more honest conversations.
I asked one of the sex workers, and I attempts to clarify my own thing, too much of response rate rather than any literacy, it's too casual.
"That's the problem with the physical mechanism of sex/asex work, it can get so reductionistic to exclude literary genre." I typed to one of the rule 34's, and with that, if financial extentionism is all they care about. Then, that ain't exiting.
Since, the governance will have to go anarcho-syndicalist or communalist with no enforcement, (look up, shadow libraries) otherwise it will have to be a keep-scrolling and self-governance kind of affair, Extrajudicially.
Hustling by definition is dishonest money-making.

Doing something you don't care about ; a good doomerist post
"I’ve had a growing frustration with the way AI skeptics, especially my comrades on the left, dismiss the likelihood of mass AI job replacement by pointing to quality problems that are both easily and affordably fixed.
Most creative jobs in the US aren’t making art that people care about. They’re making corporate slop that everyone hates, but which is necessary for doing business. The only people who will miss the human slop when it gets replaced with AI are the humans who used to get paid to make it."
Aaah, respect. Well, If it happens or not, have a look.
Listening to te the one and only Garth Marenghi's Bursted Earth. Or I could listen to Snoop Dog's voice read voices to me on Speechify. Which is more mediocre. Seth said it best with his own doomerism, anybody hustler stuff that he can use Stable Diffusion that's pretty alright, or the one and only illustrators he alludes to.
