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.
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.
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.
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.

A joke/contradiction, now meaning.
Apparently they stole my moustache.
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
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.

On-gaku our sound : Too late for what?
Aya: Good luck
Kenji: Good luck for what?
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.
Or, so with the performance with Our Sound

Reflections on the best early access joke
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.

Skai Doodle, thoughts day.
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.

500 streaming bonaza.
500?? Why? Why. The tired must be there. |
Another victory lap, this time it's with streaming. It's been sustainable since I've managed to do it with subjects I enjoy. The tension to perform to twitch algorithms designed to please the masses for advertisements was too much.

Collapsed fence
Rough 10 min Trace from my smartphone. |
Collapsed, meaningless walls, such as this with many forgotten details, there were so many cans of people who threw them over as this got over. It was a junkyard of mess, and there's a fence and crew now. The construction was saying that I was in the way.

The Monomyth Joseph Campbell
A look it as a face, to a way of a hero's journey. |
Some meanings are glossed over, I managed to get through it though.
It's a book, one diving into what is seen as cosmological yearnings, diving into the subconscious and making it all weaves together with tales of going out.
This mythopoetic take on what it means to tell a story. With a nuclear unit, that passes to the teleology of genre storytelling. Surpassing all literature and commercial endeavours, to the big unknowing and the beyond. It's been, what is to say, spiritual. Codified into a praxis for other writers and storytellers.
It's something that's been constantly recommended by editors and entertainment storytellers, I now get it. In a basic, rudimentary sense, as a means of motivation.
For a less euro-centric-male centric perspective, check out 1001 Heroine with a thousand faces.

Hoisin duck fries and birthday sketch
Hoisin duck fries, Cappuccino and a caramel biscuit. |
Did another birthday sketch, for DA. Out of lurking for several years and coming out.
Maybe I'll never be asked to do another birthday, deep in my soul, did I really do it for a direct advertising return? No, I did at a whim of a bara artist that I lurked within my twenties and kept at it, this is my thanks that I managed, A little messy yet it's out there. The message of a horned couch went through.
