prosperity manifestation refutation

Taking bits and bobs from philosophy students, again due to my lack of credentialism of the matter.

Rhonda Burnes the secret makes inroads. Again, the growth YouTube of promising others to be celebritys/influncers are based on this. Including with it, playing with the verificationism of direct response.

Wow, even the smallest viable audience may share something with that logic. Yet that can be a means of communication and commodity fetishism.

Have another prosperity gospel refuter I guess when It comes to videos.

survivorship bias

 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.

Wrong about work hour estimates



I'm being overly meticulous for a point, to the point of calorie tracker.
 

Bearnards boop animation
Current day on Thursday, last day of July. Unreliable work tracker got from this post, with thoughts.
Two fat Monstys -8hrs from idea board 5hrs?
Scar's portrait
-8 hr 31 on pinups of Jon On Plaza.

Double spread's within adult works Frog F'd minus the 33 h
Cover
End cover pinup. These are moments I have done after my workout schedule 5/2 week. Apparently. Even if I cut back on volume.
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.

the is-ought gap of making/publishing frequencys


 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."

Dead Horses and advertisers, Commercial Scientism

It never ends, it's what advertising does.

Like betterhelp, they don't want to end, they want to get attention with their campaigning. Covered it before.

Campaigns are not meant to go away with a debate, over any axis and distinction. You'll see them again. Commercial Campaigning is like Imperial Campaigning, except is a war of attribution.

The terminology matters less than the response here, David Oglich himself did not call himself an artist, he wanted it to be a informational exchange.

Everbody talks about brand marketerising, what about direct response/conversion rate marketerisation.

The conversion rate that's ruthless, and scientism..

Will the behaviourist tradition of putting lipstick on a pig will work? Even a shrewd advertiser like Herschel Gordon Lewis. I'm honest with my fictional entertainment. Yet, it's extended.

Indefinitely for hierarchy.

S***s AI Udemy Review, and other clarifications


(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.

Hmm. Time to revise positions again. Judging from my previous notes.

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


(Futurama with that the ad-creep on dreams)

I'm agreement back to Flippo

"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.

Economic affiliation

 Well well well, it's political science books to varying degrees of success as couch gregor must editorialise then into



Befriending capital to move along with it, I guess.
So what is it with the economy. Good enough to introduce others into the economy and seeing a refutation of freakonomics. 

It's time for Couch Gregor to attempt to articulate a thoughtful comment on complicated socio-economic issues with vulgarising into a simplified sex jokes.

Frugality and house management or so the word means, scarcity is also another word for economy.

Oh, look it that, there is the talk of UBI, I'm not a fan for the purposes of this world. Even though there's the example of Canada and Africa, Since it's such a libertarian concept already, I'd prefer welfare'n benefits. Yet such a structuralisation of policy is beyond my scope of this.

Good for beginners including knowing the money and capital that they will have to learn eventually in financial management, yaaaaaaaaaaay.

Industrial usage of efficiency and convince, used as an adjective by advertisers This may be the case used over quantifying everything and trusting economists too much 

Reminds me other this audiobook, Americanised, unfortunately.  Yet it takes all the challenges of carving up a piece of capital for oneself, well shifting it into a public is a matter of thing that's meant to be dragged as she mocks small business and other intuitions with other executives, then she goes into the way of equitable business.

           

Why is it like Bioshock that a liberal gets to dunk on a libertarian, annoying anarcho-capitalist philosophy of infinite free market?

This is a book that shows that the free market does not exist, well, well then. Even if you may disagree with a lot of other opinions and nuances, I can't help but giggle to push another kick.

Well, it's state-capitalist refutation, ultimately.

So this is what the free-market ain't free. (Take that worshippers!)
Economist makes mistakes and not in position in government.
Mis distribution of wealth
The knowledge economy does not exist.
(Other things I'll reference, and then not)

Well, as an entertainer as who deals in the marshes of depoliticised apathy and prosumerist lands, another treck through.

Sitar, The classical thrives


This is what it means to not be led by response rates, to not have the website made into a porn site through such actions. 

Mita Nag Sitar


Free, on YouTube, generosity, art'n charity, there at once with all the soundwaves hitting our eardrums.
Such is the generosity that is the gift.

Lewis Hyde defined the gift as

. To be consumed (not patronized by customer habitation and capture)
. To be moved on

So now with such a manner this was meant to build a commune of practice meant to be shared with others. Commodity or non-commodity. It's what a culture was like in the Stone Age.

Such a performance today it what our broad conception that does not exist. That our hobby and nonprofit endeavours that can be made, are made with this exchange in mind. Anthropology

Keep playing on. Still moving.

Passion Exploitation


They are writing about passion exploitation

Word, even though they may not change our thinking, there are malicious 'teachers' out there who'd think they can out-train sleep.

Beware of groups that become MLMs, Moneys into false promises, and swindles into a realm of creative industry.

Industry...

I could rant about it more and more, only to avenge by doing the more important thing, which is to learn to not work for exploiters.

Such a shame that our own manners of internal motivators can be taught bad patterns, It's only wise to not work for cruelty.
12 min video in regard to passion exploitation

Pain as a generator of creativity, I don't think it's possible. Oh, it's a better as engagement bait and a race-to-the-bottom advice advertising.

Generication;Genericide


Such a manner bridging the literary academics with the genre commercials, into the whole arena, then into elimination and recategorization.

According to brand manager, Genericide is when a good/service reaches it's indirect badging value. Or what, according to the marketer's commodification of the monopsony. Single buyer, many sellers selling that generality.

Oh, how do such a specific that it's brought to our minds when it's the individual. That's made.

That's a digression, though.

Speaking of genre and it's theories, it ain't fixed categorisation. Lincoln has written about it.

So despite the emergent genres of entertainment and art happening within the financial undercurrents, we can make it a choice to pick one that's serves our own conceptions and workflows. Oh, how money giggles in the background.

Disagreement with S**h


I hope to attempt to be constructive. I've learned what a naturalistic, contradictory character is since he writes so much of his mind, along with that. This ain't a call to harass, I don't think he's going to read this.

How does a critic, one who's worrying to keep the tradition of the Stoic 'guides of life' I've been compliment, yet now, I hope to bring amelioration to him by noting stuff that he could work on. This is what he wants, I take it.

Nobody's perfect.

  • Funding Rachel Hollis next book with Author Equity, or such as a concept of trying to rehabilitate others.
  • Venture/risk capital, This is a more of a systemic nitpick than anything.
  • Claude and certain derisive intelligence embracements, (I'll ask a volunteer editor for beta readers.)
  • General mixture of (Merely make good videos) and his thousand of rewordings of commodity fetishism.

  • Despite his attempts of not advocating for advertising, he's bought advertising from facebook. Direct responders have pointed this out. Well, Altmba had bought advertising. When he comes from the advertising as a tax for a unremarkable product, he kind of hides his own short term advertising. Yet he does not since all are complex now with everything recorded in this age. All contradictions and consistency.

    He says anticipated, relevant and personal advertising messages are what distinguishes from spam, which he rants about. He tends to clarify, yet lapses in, yet his inconsistency may be the point without much he tries to get out of his inertia.

  • General well, electorlism frameworks. ( I won't get into that any further. )

  • (post edit) General exoneration of the free market as some kind of objective force, in an attempt to be separate to it (reading more economical books)

    Also, Tribalism ain't a thing to analytical term any more, a small observational which he merely should call informal groups.

    Regardless, thanks for providing a literary snapshot in modern enterprise of the Stoic life, being in business, with the free stuff It's enough to take in (with salt). I don't like rags-to-riches stories, though. By golly, does the west love its inspiration, P***.

    Oh well, thanks for being a cheerleader, guy of corporation.

What's worser than a hack...


Somebody who does not create via formula, somebody who is unaware of his mechanizations.

Staunchly formulaic and derivative is one pleasant thing, another is completely giving up on the short-termism of the specification.

Pro-Producer rather than the flinging passive consumer position.

All copywriting is parody, or caricature


Commodified and slop by definition and profession?! Say it ain't so.  The reason I study slop is I can clearly see the antithesis. The attempt to make a work of art and art work continues. What's Copywriting for? Cleaning the dishes? Oh well, own it.

All this was to attempt to make something out of a factory shop of furniture, making inspiration come from weird places.

With Song, that's it.

All propaganda is hackneyed, it has to be on the nose with the theme, simple, direct. Not clever for its own sake. So it's direct and in-your-face by design, to the point of it causing agreement or disagreement.

I don't know where this mediocractic line, you don't, yet I'm paranoid.

Avant Garde Artist to Hackneyed graphic design. Interactions of commodities and vision.

External/Internal motivators


Internal could be self-actualization. The pursuit of self-determination theory, or that of the principle. 

External is exposure/monetization. Could be measured, could be validation. Or the schedule and mise en place of what to do.

Structuralisation means that it's both, interconnect synetically within a stream of continuous time of interweaving of flows.

So now, with self-determination theory, which of these motivators are doing a disservice?

Even with non-self, it's the theories we make of our conceptual minds of our bodys and brains that are another story of our humanity.

NSFW is the new SFW

C'mon Couch Gregor, keep the doodles up.

Not safe for work? Really? Is that how it's going to be with this alien concept of genrification that's been normalized. Now everything is sorted into little and little genre boxes and I can't even wander within the literary plains to others things now that all of it is all meant to be considered into automata.

Yet here's the rub, what's not safe now for work. Normally they'd contain misogyny, queer content, other norms of abuse that's meant not of office environment.

Yet again, with hackneyed patterns. There's a repetition of ways that feel like, staunch formulas, is it the not safe the safety and the safety the not safe?

Oh, that's me being paradoxical again, Even at that points, to understand creativity with all this to be actually creativity, there has to be professional risk that's really not safe for work. Otherwise, the NSFW SFW becomes hack work, which is the only thing of mechanical damnation. Oh, that's what I see with the every predictable SEO and those who make patterns of it, it's easy to predict.

I guess there's money, as much as a cover band artist gets his paycheck for bringing recycled eyed. Guess with all these consumerists physicality is to see it all.

Well, pick a kink of the infinite power scaling kink rack, then put back again.

Unsocial Work hours Anti-social

Abstract expressionism again, guess the language of this will have to give clarity regardless of my more commercial work.

 Such are the terms and definitions that let us work, from the capital of our growth and shrinkage, to our own ideas where to throw less or more at a project. With each its rightsizing of the appropriate lengths.

Then there's the approximation of all the unsocial that will have to be predicted, stuff that one does not go to twitch to be elected, with it not being a poll, it's art. No

Yet all this anti-social stuff has been accounted via law within all that way, it's made to bring stuff, and why, That having this privilege to define the conditions is important.

I'll pop into a twitch stream and see if I get a connection again, and then leave, because it's all meant for interruption advertising. So that it's alienating once again, within the lines of the sand that I can't relate to.

Dip in and dip out, I suppose.

Kill you darlings/Abandoning them


Will be leaving sh***** as things happen, it's product of audience ain't worth it, even the most cynical of advertisers who wanted to increase their range of influence and brand image. Along with sales numbers.

Not connecting with that medium of info, and into another is part of the salesman trade, along with it taking the notes from the direct action notebook.

Commercial taking notes from the political handbook.

So that's why they abandon there darlings, with there puritan-oppourtunism spectrum being not complete, yet not fitting with the opportunism spectrum.

Microblogging was designed for cross-links anyhow, with no search engine optimisation being like a magical romantic movie.

So the internet shifts.

Wallaces ultimate pleasure machine Infinite jest



David Foster Wallace, most amusing show thought
experiment really brings into the mediums as metaphor.
Ethical questions in regard to our mediums.

Nothing new,
these polemics have been done with Neil Postman's
musing ourselves to death.

Aaaaaaaash, the logos orgy of each line intersecting with a ding. This is literature, cointelpro that direction, another serialised shots of tennis player embarrassments, an essay on empathy, identification and cultivated sympathy. Then it pings and you're in a relationship drama romance, and it flitters between many directions genres till you're flat on your butt.

Ding!

Why did I buy this? Well, the literary troll within me demanding so complex of a story of Stream of conciousness perspectivism that hurts. NO, I won't be looking up the Wikipedia summary of this literary achievement, yet today I will go through the novelists other works of art, and see what I can make of that.

Hmm, The Pale king. Our status Ante of our fiction.

Folk/academic horse sense Etymological simple/sophisticated


Another outer inner Claude Hopkins Scientific Advertising, which determined the markingtese of salesman and their hacks for surplus accumulation.

How it comes, some merely want to cut to the chase. (Fundraising) while others want a more romantic treatment for the more literary types. Yet, people know that if they are treating this medium as a money-making mechanism (microblogging and direct messaging especially) the risk of burning trust becomes apparent.

Yet all of us seek to keep their budgets with our creative projects.

Make it so that whenever to simple it down, and not dumb it down. All concern and curiosity of the prospect with the specifics flirted.

centaur and reverse centaur


Cory Doctorow has sparked this one.

Are we leading the machines with creativity/novelisation, or are we leading to the background noise of being led by the hackneyed machinations? That's what it is, hackneyed service for service sakes machinations. 

Machinations serving, or are we serving them? Needs or profit.

Creatives and craftsman will need to confront this as dirative intelligence continues to normalise. Some will embraces, others will leave.
