Jawboning and a Retrospective of facing the mob

Skull for memory, No reference. Continuing the diplomacy or discourse of AI, well, On here atleast.



Have you watched Alex Avile and the backlash to the backlash to the backlash? Welp, you are in it right now, I've been trying to build bridges. I'd recommend you watch this before you become here.

I must commend Alex for not taking his video down, this odd collusion of hollywood conservatives that are hijacking and destroying movements needs to be noted.

(Cw, human rights rambling from a tired couch. Including a bit of a socialist analyst) Aaah, The defeatist, misrablist dead end of copyright, if Harlen can call them the 7th circle of hell with publishers, maybe I can place a spicy opinion here.

 Silence is capital, another monopoly, when everybody is trying to build trust on the internet, the editorial confessions roll out. Along with the drab examination of the liberal centrists who'd happen to defend the private proporty relations from consolidating commidy value, oh, such a thing that you could state

Journalists don't owe the entertainment media pr any slack. Alex Avile self-publishing that Nickles group disclosure. With such is the diplomatic to the copyright maximalists that he got crudded on. It's always a game, troll bait, and a hornets nest that does not have. He did not sign a non-disclosure deal unlike those of the copyright alliance did so he did a community service.

There's something awfully centrist with publishers wanting to consolidate the means of distribution then raise the commodity value of art, really? Is that the culture industry, I do commodity fetishism

From Deepdreamnights, a public domain artists.

"The anti-AI side isn't actually anti-AI, they're pro-regulatory-capture-of-AI-by-Megacorporations. The copyright anti-AI argument conveniently leaves it open for Disney, Warner Bros, Nintendo, Sony, the RIAA, all to make their own AI systems to lower their production costs, because they own more than enough material to make powerful datasets.
They get it, you don't, worst of all possible worlds."

It was actually a very thematically important foreshadowing arc setting up the Online Artist Community™'s tragic descent into the very thing they sought to destroy (people who want to expand the digital mechanisms to enforce the concept of ownership of .jpgs)

So yes, in light of this new info, I'll be keeping a meter at the CYA copyright enforcement that will only entail a unsafer internet. It's there to empower publishers, not the artists.

‪xormetric‬ ‪@tentacle.expert‬· 08/01/2024
SMALL ARTISTS ARE NOT PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT copyright is a monopoly. to make a living, artists sell that monopoly to publishers. Thereby losing the right to their own art. Copyright is enforced in court. Taking someone to court costs money. Who, of the small artist and the corporation, has money?"

There are plenty of rights more important than copyright, freedom of expression is one of them, including the freedom to assembly and to protest. Yet it's alarming, so I'll keep a head low her and be sure to differentiate the western artists from the lower working classes.

It's why I've not been posting much, there are absurd paranoia brewing, and it's getting bleak, so sense of discussion as there no's certainty on this issue. Odd activities like Style phrenology along with echo chambers, doing research on this topic like it matters, people need to know the community service of Couch Gregor.

Yet this dirt-digging and wild speculation of ad-hominins only means that they're creating a spectre of free like Nintendo does with its own copyright, only that will understand that this time it's left everybody on the statecraft map in disarray.

I'll leave out with another quote retweet. It's a understatment that this DRM enforcement is going to accidentally be the most second order pro-ai, the bad pro-ai move that's going be, a worser regime overall.

So freedom of expression > copyright, the publishing script puts too much in the hands of publishers and record labels.

I feel weird being in the "middle" on the AI Argument. The hype machine is out of control, but the anti-AI crowd is almost as crazy with the only redeeming quality being that they have very little control over anything.

I think that generative AI is anywhere from "a cute toy" to "mildly useful in limited contexts" and that Big Tech companies did nothing wrong in training genAI models the way they did because a stricter reading of fair use would risk disallowing many types of transformative work.

I think that the way it's being deployed by the hype-mongers is frequently irresponsible and sometimes deliberately attempting to provoke backlash. I think the long-term destabilizing impacts are minor compared to the overreaction dynamics at play currently.

Like the video model demo from OpenAI recently where they generated a fake closed circuit video of Sam Altman stealing GPUs from BestBuy or w/e seems like it must've been calculated to spook people.

  (My response to the hype mongers is well, sex sells, for better or worse.)

Ted Underwood‬ ‪@tedunderwood.com‬· 55m

Based on social media, you might think the US was in the middle of a Butlerian Jihad. But IRL neither party has shown much appetite for regulating AI; universities aren't trying to ban it; content industries are adapting to it. The venting is anti-correlated with change.
This is why no one is writing 10k words a week to counter Zitron's ~10k words about the uselessness of models, inevitability of collapse, &c. You don't need to write 10k words every week arguing that the moon should continue to orbit the earth. People who like the moon's orbit can chill.

I look at Alex Avile for speaking the truth, yet the Tailism of other entertainers along with the inanity of media monopolists. Those who consolidate the distribution. Means That one should always caution with publishers being friendly, there is already an agonise going on.

The NFT reflection

In attempt to develop an opinion of NFTs, couch Gregor does his research.

(This whimsical, low effort doodle is the only positive thing, other the thing at the end.)

(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 up. It seems more incoherent now )

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.

Wabi Sabists must seek to find of avenues

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 somebody who believes in the withering with creative commons laws, good on you. Cannot comment on the NFT open sea thing, though.

Divine punishment of public perception, Backlash on the backlash.

(Cw: Callousness) In reflection with the other post, thinking verbally rather than visually has really given me a new perspective on this issue.
Sometimes, battle ain't worth it, with the recent witch-hunts I keep seeing.
Nobody wants to hire an abuser. Lifes too short. Against professional entertainment etiquette. Callousness, or disillusionment, regardless, holier than though with such a perception.

I can understand why that'd microbloggers leave an information exchange. PowerPoint, where the discourse is out of context and with screenshots of little things where correlation those not cause causation, with drive-by science.

Micro-bloggers that is in within Twitter and Bsky.

Welp, the masses want their entertainment with this, so it's only this that will fit it. Prosumer as it were, the mass's one that we'll get.

Oh no, I use meme, how ironic, huh? Prosumers man, prosumers.

10 months ago, with its updated journalism defer Alex Avile/Cory Doctorow with regard to the copyright/environment (Andy Masley) and others, I think this was a touchstone from somebody who ain't academic looking from the outside in.
"Aggressively bright light to how hive-minded and dumb" ahh Flazfire.
Anyway, I'm going to be more recluse and not post this on the micro-bloggers.

(Got to give credit, here's the tweet he's referenced)
Why I don't go on Twitter. Or what outsiders looking inside are saying. Is this what trolls think who poison the well? Oh, had to credit the guy here's.
Here's another video that could be, I'm thinking being a visual-minded person having to integrate within verbal thoughts.
Here's a summation of the discourse back in 2012, and it still continues.
It's like the Austin Mconnell video again.

I guess with the moral panic slop I have to wade through, I'll see if I can keep this off microbloggers because of lack of citations. Trucking through incoherence and weirdness. (This ain't bloobergum kind of thing.)

Schediaphilia/Fictionsexual

 Shedia = Something made by offhand.

Some quite in love with my designs, and with all those things that we see in ourselves with the things we draw and make become animation.

So when we see ourselves and our archetypes and hopes and dreams and fierce and despairs.

Well, maybe its an ode to the hackneyed task manager. We all do. Our creativity becomes designs while our designs become creativity.

This is a response to this, a premonition.

perfect literacy does not exist

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.

Meliorism Lottery on Social media

Seth I still follow you, better or worse. 

I wonder what the growth tubers on social media are doing? Stuff that does not work. That course of trying to be one's own boss is still here.

Such a ceo-mindset of physcopoltic

Spams still spam, and advertisement led platforms are still entertainment platforms first, not fund-raising ones. Ad-creep is still ad creep, even with the infinity of the charity out there. International infinity.

Best know what limits.

This a reflection on influencer courses are garbage, here's why.

A lot of them are cropping up, trying to deterimine a cdp of commodity algorithm and market to feed, to makertise the unmarkerteriseable.

What a shame, maybe that thing of creativity and passion are internal and not verified like product are something, I dunno.

Centre of Attention

 Tim Wu and all this way of thinking about attention and the such a way.

With our centre of attention, where it is being directed, where does it go? What will it do and what will define us. From our own ownership that's collective and personal, to our own means to stretching forth.

Julian Baggini's how to think like a philosopher. Had got me thinking that if things are analysed. His first chapter was on the matter of where the attention of distribution, which is easily measured today. Take note where the cues are coming over if certain argumentation is abstract and thought experimentation, there's a time and place for it, not here. ( I've still yet to read all his books on philsophy and paraphrase, it's my first impression. )

Well, Part of the organising strategy is to see if it could be invested or reinvested elsewhere.

Decide the centre of attention, the mise en place, decide on the future.

The A.I Gulf, and auto-posting software : Postbirb/Buffer


When you do research to do a journalistic piece. You go around all the Internet to editorialise into an essay, these are all notes. Incoherently placed, here we go.

Since others use auto-posting software, I've dabbled within postybirb, and the more dubious online app buffer. I discovered Buffer advertises itself with link shortening, so I'll be direct. ( No point hiding it, I don't think boycotting/blacklisting will work either. ) Toothpaste is out of tube.

It's dubious since it has an auto-durative intelligence, that I haven't used. That if you want my word, since I want to be a professional writer, the portmanteau between illustrator and writer is a cartoonist. Not going to be using the 

( Postybirb does not do this, by the way. Even though, a spell checker is always appreciated for typos. )

No, I don't endorse it, yet my vote ain't going to count, ain't it? It's been integrated within 'Grok' within xwitter, and that I've been. There's still a rough folk congregation, a Venn diagram of the forming groups under various labels and political sympathies. I have some for the open source with my gift, as long as I own it. Well, It's the time for the commons and public domain have been useful services to our society. My characters coming from pride and prejudice.

(Sometimes I anthropomorphize my ideological conflicts as characters for my entertainment, Regardless. Do I even Fictionalise myself into a entertainer to absolve any responsibility? I'm certainly against the maximisers and what Chuck Wendig has done.)
To sketch out the labels some further, This is what called positioning:

Ai Futurists - Open sourcers ()  Copyright Maximisers - Ai Haters
Lets show this concept some more.

Some people use sneer/scare quotes within open source.
Fair use is always going to be murky water. You don't own concepts, poses, or colour schemes.

The grifters are the tasteless Elsa gate churners targeting illiterate kids to game with the essentialising of money for their product. Perfectly designed, unlike the imperfection wabi-sabi of art.

Despite Seth Godins endorsements of tech, I'm a technologist when it comes to aiding within the creative labour industry and freelance sectors. It's still decimating as we speak. I'll keep track of him. His take on AI going through a Gartner hype-cycle is another thing. It's something I resonate with, since once again, This genie has been out of the bottle.

With indie publishing, even when small businesses themselves can be as bad as their commercial counterparts. Then with Stephanie Sterling and above with the many disputes of Fair use being a muddy term of creation.



The water-usage is overblown, I've donated directly to Ecosia, which I recommend switching your search engine too. Heard it's less than boiling a kettle, I've rebalanced by carbon with a donation that I'm planing to give or my own writing of fiction.

There must be something about wasting water that really clicks with people, maybe because they can visualize it? It's kind of farcical, the WaPo story about this tried to make it sound like a lot of water and in the process admitted it's... not?
Holy f**k I missed that: TRAINING ALL OF GPT-3 consumes in total as much water as... producing beef for two people for a year. Not pro-rated to the usage of GPT-3 two people make in a year. Total. And we get a whole article about the water consumption of AI?! bsky.app/profile/ryan...

Since the growing of the usage of AI, I've been following the blogging of various writers who's describing their thoughts. So I'll have to keep track of this. Oh, I will vote for the shadow libraries because it's a means to spread the idea. I shall defend to the death for a creative to sales rep for free and paid. The economy of gifting and hobby does not exist.


I'll resolve this with a video by Shaquille on this. 21 min for those who have missed it.

They'll certainly be a market for hand-made craft, with more and more of this silly technology play-do'd search matter will create more blacklist. I speculate that it's still going to resurface with new iterations. This regurgitation is tasteless. This lack of direct action from others is also tasteless.

I do believe good artists should get paid for the labour and activism, yet this will move towards my leanings, given with my own accord. Copyright maximalism ain't the answer. It's not like these untouchable technopolys deserve any PR anyway, including Nintendo.

(Oh, and the reason I keep using bug is a two-way posting. Reduce cognitive load.)

Do contact me though, I don't

Into the new years : Summaries





Grandparent Passing


Trying to be an artist digitally and an entertainer is a matter that's hanging like the hat I'm still wearing. You go out of hackneyed rote machinations, only to the moments that you don't with new patterns of blender. That it's all that it's got, after all the technical bravery of trying to not.

For entertainment! Ha ha. Professional servitude for the masses, as I draw it, then it goes out and in again. Always a demand for service and product, stuck in the system.

Well, there is another shot though, another round. One that is made without making money which that metric and still putting off with humblebrags that I feel meh about. I zone out with the mediocre slop that lays towards the waste of my eyes, I suppose to this still a good opportunity to celebrate.

Don't want to think of the other metrics while I happen to self-express at this sliver of privilege that I have. I don't have to produce unremarkable, forgettable slop that will be swallowed by the algorithm.

Attraction/repulsion paradox/ Validation axiologist


 Defining the axiology of the customers, the competition, the distribution. Got me thinking.

Getting really specific with the axiology of determining what the positive is what the profession ahead. What is my first profession is to be called a cartoonist, an artist of identification that determines. A certain, tender truth.

To feel like an artist, to have no external axiological validation. Somehow, it's a win-win. It's going to be how to win-win when certain games out there don't need to be played. The game of constant social media validation. Ugh, it will be forever played with the status role games, so it's to be seen. With the meta of free views, always an odd spectacle.

What is my paradoxical creation? Well, it's a monster.

A dateable monster, one that I found entertaining enough to hold my interest. That's it, of failed irony, one that's become another thing.

Concord retrospective




So Concord went its final bow.

No, it's not coming back, I don't think the character designs are that bad, they merely did not have time to breath in the direct market because it's brutal.

A productive conversation! It's perfectly acceptable to argue the other direction, I don't like Teo's design the most. (Too clean, corporate in art direction and intentless. Unlike the tongue-in-cheek way Going Under is. That has comedy and handling of repulsion in a positive aspect.)

I've brought my own linear Ingres\ Arthur L Guptil to it. Contrasting the iconoclasm with Teo with the By-the-book look with Gaz.

Even realism could work, I don't know though (thinking Witcher, Rembrandt Romantic style).

Mass-market entertainments is always tough, I don't know which salesmen who greenlit it. If it's the blame game, though, it's them. 🛋👉 No blame on the studio. 

The axiology is not whether it's entertaining or beautiful, its axiology is made by robots and marketing platforms. 🤖📊 The direct market is what it is, frustrating. No constructive criticism could change that.

This had an unceremonious end though, tsk tsk. So I'm trying to be charitable to studio.

A joke/contradiction, now meaning.


 Apparently they stole my moustache.

When the beliefs system based on paradoxes contradictions and whatever is serviceable at the time fades. Why are you left with, it's a thing something to hold until a bouy to be consistent with.

This simple sign of of meaning is to be held onto for the days ahead with what could be on the surface a long term plan or guess.

How is this a gag, entertainment, or a clown show any more. You can't wear a clown suit when it comes to a business dealing. Especially when one has to deliver an audience from one place to another with the platforms holding their arms up and not going to do anything. (I know Couch Gregor, You're not meant to entertain anything other than get paid first, yap yap.)

Yet how is it that Twitch's celebrity endorsements vs understand the impossibility of reverse-engineering virality. You can't magic wand away a mystery.

Gatekeeper/Folksonomy+Natural Selection


Two modes of distribution

Gatekeepers

Within commercial entertainment, there's a state of power-brokers who still hold to the status role of artist, entering their masters and not the culture. From the disk jockeys, broadcasters, record labels, syndicalists, and curators. Their own time to making a directed stream of attention, being the rawest form of the mercantilism.

All this treats the non-measurable thing, attention, as the product. A product expected to make a return by a direct sales, reading this right here.

They still exist, especially within the industry. I'm not sure if the job-hunters will be able to test their luck with their resume's though. They have less power and meaning though due to the last two.

Folksonomny+Natural Selection

Most of the internet now operates within this systemic means of recognition, via a tag, forming communities of practice with their own status roles to allow governance.

Yes, this will be the way going forward now, mostly when it comes to the internet. I'm not sure how this distribution will change with the mishap that is our gig-economy in regard to freelancing.

With the moment of tagging and scrolling, including this post. Points of knowledge and info are interlaced within the words of today and create the meaning of tomorrow. Merely to show to fact of how everything on the internet that has changed.

One of the reasons why do these influencer sources seem to fail at is deciphering a correct essentialism to deciphering a qualia within an algorithm, which gets more zombie like, and a robot without a conscious thought. So this weird system of how to game it, doens not

On-gaku our sound : Too late for what?

Kenji: Good luck for what?

There's a scene on On-gaka: Our Sound on the piece of performance, that it's still a gig-economy and that the strategy of being picked, Luck have nothing to be made as those when it comes to doing it as a hobby.

When keeping it in mind of the mental fulfilment, the selfishness could be a virtue of self-love with the means of hobby being the only piece of sanctity with the amount of work.

Reflections on the best early access joke

8:00
I keep going back to one of the best meta-gags, That's with sunk-cost of the prices to be added towards it.

Even with the facetiousness of the mise en place, he still showed up and delivered on a promise, a promise that mega-commercial enterprises could not deliver. Of why, I am not a gamer, another reason into the mix.

Even with the non-delivery done without a price is more priceless than non-deliveries with a price.

Where the trust lands, the moment the direct deposit that is demanded, things change.

A proud hack job



 Cussy Condemnation by Jim sterling. If there was a return with the engagement rates. Or any return.

There is always going to be a demand for product, for mass consumerist product with standardised taste. This was the start of our developer quickening of our attention. With to the point of what happened to platform holders that making their efforts to capture the direct response within it.

How it is designed for 'live services' and the indie slush pile, only some show up with the effort, maybe there some gems in the commercial glut. That was the writing on the wall for me to leave the demographic.

Going to be this to the reading list.

Yeah, another rant.

Character design Blitz

Is this a promise I'm able to keep? I haven't signed an agreement that's lead to this decision.

Dream projects don't wait for nobody, especially if that dream project is shared by a platform that can't understand that the work expressed by the artists with their parasocial ain't teaching them to be self-directed.

Throwing my pillow into this to see what bounces back, any non-profit still has to take some tools off the commercial toolbox in order to cover the living/production costs. This is a mutual partnership between audiences allowing a cross-pollination of ideas.

That's it.

If it's a sunk cost, then it's a sunk cost. To a shared dream project, it is the most important.

Skai Doodle, thoughts day.

Doodle of Skai's birthday.

Leaving it here, Since these self-important days are merely that, something that feels important, yet it's now. The prospective customer wants a voice to be seen and resonated amongst the lands, that's the network of social interaction, of being seen such a special bean.

So it shall be repeated today, and tomorrow, even if it's the spur. The parasocial illusions will keep persisting when I know what only really matters is the response going back to my own tenure with this social media's tenure mattering the most.

These direct-action barometers exist, yet they only beep indiscriminately with mindlessness.

Reverie reflections

A reverie Sketch of expressionism, it's not going to pay off. That's the point.

Before I started, I tested for abstract expressionism. It's something that's like poetry, free from categorization. Playing with marks as a means of anti representation.

Some dwindling relief or tingling sensation passes. A process of representation may be discovered and put into the workflow with this style test.

Curious exercise that can be done daily, for about 15 minutes, then left once a sunk cost.

This is the technique test pad. Which can lead to style testing for one to weave into something consistent later on.
 

2021. That's where I had the Gregor Murphy name initially. This attempt to rebel against representation was a conceptual monkey gym.

Does it matter that I give these marks meaning through contextualization. Or shall your interpretation carry the story? Best to leave what is said unsaid.

Play before industrial category can commence.
Anti-representation was the nurturer to take back the path.

Illustrator's Summery



Comparing to the end of the year, the artistic exploration past the twenties have been wondrous.





Now that I have it, I'm obsessed. I'm not gonna care if I'm going to get traction for doing what I love. I'll do the artless hackneyed work for the twitch advertisers if they want there traction for there core gamer demographic.

This commitment is here now, needing to be sated.
