Jawboning and a Retrospective of facing the mob
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
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.

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.

The NFT reflection
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?
Bullying, doxing, suicide, wow, thanks I avoided the liberal circle and have not spent my days there.
You don't even have to agree with the political convenience talking points that a propped as a means of twitter statecraft authority and response rates. No thank you, Dan Olson, You were wrong here, nsfw and trans medication has gone through block chains without much of a moral objection.
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.
The claims of environmentalism are similar, hmm. Sameish
So I decided to extend an olive branch. Since there's 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 of Creative Commons laws, good on you. Cannot comment on the NFT OpenSea thing, though.

Divine punishment of public perception, Backlash on the backlash.
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.
"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.
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.)

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 become 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.
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.

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.
