Diffusion model ethics to Broad brush

I investigate into the lands of the beep boops.

Previously on Couch Gregor's ai editorals. Since I'm dissatisfied with all the editorials, I made my own.

Looking at the coco workflow, there's the usage of noding and shaders here like it's used within blender, with 3d models.

Huh, according to the questionable lawsuits there n has been ethical questions in regard to this, I've had to check what this will do for independents.



Looks like it will have to relax and into noding, with minimal text-to-prompt speech, I'm afraid such a matter will move towards no copyright infringement. The environmental concerns along with the labour is another matter.

I can still see some inconsistency here and there, i think it will.

The only answer to this will be to do another art piece.

Since copyright licensing laws aren't going to stop this ( Disney has been developing its out diffusion models for to replace to concept artists.. ) Such a matter that copyright infringement it out of existence, it's going move into ethical questions with regard to its use and not contingent on commercial publishing and industry.
Licensing politics! Yeesh. Have they slapped me with a copyright infringement from drawing an Aggron as a pin-up, perish the thought. I'm merely a content producer to them anyhow.
This book is on my audiobook list in terms of essays. So many coming out these days. Got the audiobook.

 With the rise of deepfakes will continue to occur, along with the 

The age of scepticism is going to get more muddy. Herschel Gordon Lewis had a point with direct response rates

Disinformation campaign first, funding latter.

Going to have to boost this as such tech evolves, Fox Key did make a post that this will continue since films are the most labour-intensive and expensive forms that we take for granted. Including videogames, and such a licensing that will only move it underground, along with managing.

I'm not sure if we can out-license of with this will combine to some odd concoctions, I don't like this I.P loving people, (Even though I can imagine a system of resource redistribution not contingent on it, merely like how qualitative differences between a restaurant and a soup kitchen works. Does that make me a anarchist? Oh, well. )

It's not that the lowest common denominator word of content means the worst and the best. Bill Gates definition versus Martha McLuhan definition.

Welp, I'll have to keep track as these things unfold, and soul-searching will occur. This broad brush will see more erm, cases, so to speak. Both Industrialists and the silicon will be watched.

Professional attention p-p-premotion!


 Ludologically, I can't agree with the behaviourism of Gerwinder, with my own disagreement. Simple because sociologists have more appealing theories of social development.

If you haven't already, I'm still going through the ideation of a previous Neverpost, of hypersexual hentai and the post-platform. Or how these stages stick and go.

Oh, how the hierarchy commodification of power scaling and the affiliation of a community'n charity never go away.

Monopsomy of sexual appeal


Thing with working in the industry. Something about the pale king was a woman who ranted about being a sex object

Or monopsony, a single seller with many buyers.

Single selling of sex to many thirsty suitors.

Objectification and power scaling, status roles and informal primacy to our culture, it does not need to be embraced. Yet that's what perception of our hierarchy and other alternatives in regard to learning are own meaning of status in our culture.

(That's not counting on objectification vices such as murder, violation of boundaries trafficking, autonomous things that are to be found in the legal institution. Sexual objectification has been discussed )

That's what they talk about when it comes to audience capture. (Editorial, politics and stuff by Gerwinder.)

Rantsona


 It will have to be Kyro.

He's not a man who cares about expressions and shouting, along with writing constructive editorials, and spending 20 hours within a circular debate.

A debate of rationalism and hijacked postmodernism, rejected meaning locking into categories of phantasms. Of bad actors serving secrets and nebulous pretensions.

What a silly, ranty warrior.

Such catharsis is physical, and the hedonic treadmill that is never satisfying, such a paradox of satisfaction will be beyond his imagination and he may be info a seductive trap, low traction response videos.

Then he'll move onto vlogging into the with, thinking of how Asheal will hit on him.

Then that post will unpredictable go viral with the tea spill community.

Political Quietism


Is this political hub-bub of quietism activism of entertainment, merely commercial ad-creep I wonder.

Thinking to this show vs Telling

Including the scenes, which I learned from the story grid.

why not both?  Thinking of the trove of writers on substack again.

 "Secondly, even if you are looking to “show” it’s important to remember that virtually all fiction involves both “showing” and “telling.” If some over-zealous writing teacher claims you should never tell, ignore them. You need both exposition and scene, at least in most works. The way to apply this rule is to show the most important information for your themes, story, and characters. Show us the pivotal scenes, the dramatic peaks, and the crucial plot twists. Tell us the information we might need to know, but isn’t as dramatic or thematically important. Part of this is a question of emphasis, signalling to the reader what is important, but another part is time management. Put simply: telling is typically quicker than showing. It takes less words to sum up a conversation or scene than to summarizing it. So understanding when to tell and show is a crucial aspect of controlling the pacing of any story."

Oh, well, are people afraid to make ideology and political commentary with their fiction? Well, prosumerism in the west always exist, i shan't use the non-authority of the prosumer public, they don't know.

Beware those who make a scene of prescriptive quietism.

I don't know if what I write is too controversial, or should I be controversial for the right reason? Contrarian with meaning or premeditation.


Posting this again for good fortune.

Nettiquette for the gregorious averse


  • Rules change and shift, Yet there are places with netiquette. With advertising, there are always shifting the guardrails unless they are enforced. So thanks Ad-creep.




  • Regarding Politics, people don't like direct political/ideological commentary, unless the medium attempts to avant-garde a complete subtraction of community and society, there are going to be questions of governance and authority. It's merely a protest of entertainment/bargain seekers of don't be controversial. Be it with flame wars and quietism employed, I hope such an unannounced decorum does not stop you from writing editorials and essays.

    In regard to didactic stuff of non-fiction, satires, Allegorical and morality plays, that's another matter. Oh, and editorial cartooning that comes with the direct political and ideological messaging on the genre tin.

    As for organisation, I'll leave that for another post.

  • Don't spam, Don't commodify everything like charging air or not, nobody want's to be pitched on micro. Commodify/Commune, best treat subjects intrinsically first, not a leverage for a deal. Don't conflate commercial speech with free speech.

    Only when it's anticipated, personal and relevent.

  • Micro-blogging, espeicially on the main site should not be considered a marketing medium; an opportunity, pick your battles with what platform to express or advertise too. There are only so many hours in the day to keep the work hours within. Commune and only offer services like a truted attorney with a plantif.
  • Question everything, even the age of sceptism, yet certain waves of sceptism of questioning everything can be questioned too.

The success of the esteem contract

Abstract expressionism, again. Got this term from Oxford Academia, I'm a smarty little couch. 👓🛋

Literature illuminate new concepts for what it's like. The success of the esteem where it's a success despite institutional rejection critical literary success, and then, there's the-

The success de scandal where is today's sonic the hedgehog. How history repeats itself, is that shock value or somewhere discovery lies. Even when advertising can rationalise its opportunism with any guardrails, there's always an entire expose industry complex waiting to slurp it up. Well, such is the public exictement and then notoriety/infamy. Race to the bottom?

Then there's the esteem, The naïveté of such a Success of de esteem, especially with the permission of the big publishers and studios.

Which as Independents, we don't need such a permission.

What a romantic fantasy of being picked up by the commercial publisher and getting adapted! What a dream! What a fantasy? What a naïveté. Well, maybe they'll move onto naiveism with that, I don't know what will happen to it and everything can be made into inspiration porn. That's what preposterism happens to be with its ad creep.

All stuck within the Discovery Channel of our own perceived dreams circulating. Regardless of these goals, it could be meant to be literary or commercial success, things change.

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.

Bells and whistle debate club


 A lot of politics on entertainment platforms have reached a standstill, obsession with debate is really the pinnacle of amusing ourselves to death. With the O'Reilly factor being the part where winning and semantics or placed over, with the flourish of the shouting over having a reconciliatory discussion.

No cooperation, no friendly competition, nothing, bells, and whistles. Why? Because it's better at pulling an audience. Yet better does not equate to good.

Entertainment and art is fiction. The same is happening with legal fictions, finances, education, journalism and all other fields, there's always a convincing argument to make it not edutainment. I say that as an edutainmentier.

Part of the mediocre series that delivered on its kickstarter, It was tool time's video on how everything still continuing. It's why that with journalism and literary ways that you can do




30 min editorial, 5 min on the Ken Ham, where ideology is made to be sold like advertising. Then the puffery tempts with the entertainment product made online. Cussy as we can write.

I'm not sure with if the ludology is made to serve the game of power scaling that has overtaken-the discourse. Where the performance of showmanship today is why I prefer to call myself an entertainer.

That's the problem of dealing with entertainment platforms 🥁

share/struggle


“Immediately uninterested” The guy from Idea channel. Mike Rugnetta. In response to a new indie startup telling him to share cat photos. Oh dear, that's where the monopoly/monopsony. 

He has a provocative idea, what if sharing is actually struggling? With contradictions. All these posters who can't have the effort because it doesn't scale.


Only share with intention, not mindlessly with value-free neutral platforms deciding to not curate. As new social media alternatives show up, there's only going to be so much time t help with other audiences, everybody can only hold so much.

Guess times jump and we must go back to a website, owning and scribbling our words.

Fickle'n Fleeting, Deshowmantize


Stuff writing has taught, that audiences that chase the latest mass market trend are not going to step off the carousal. Writing with the limited showmanship of literature can be a humbling experience, some say it's harder to write a game than it is to program it.

All part of the process rather than the results that appear fresh of the social media, which everything is not sacred there from the vulgarisations of the internet. The amount it takes to verbalise thoughts with sucking others with jingling keys respects other literacy, which I hope to increase and illuminate, not level up. Yet shine a light.

A bit of an enlightenment and not a metric based metric, I know, we are talking soft skills here, stuff that's hard to measure. Where ideas and the enrolment matter and conceptual abstraction helps make this a testing ground.

Not like going viral and monetizing was an option today, despite other companies capitalizing off it. Well, you give what you take with those under the .com things.

Even copywriters, and certain commercial novelists, how do you deal with mass ignorance? Nobody want's to read with attention and time commoditized into content, and at this point. It's merely our keyboards verbalising our thoughts.

Childism/Adultism


What they should do?

This 1:40 essay got me thinking.



So, education and edifcation has been industrialised beyond our things, beyond intentional design of actual benefit, can our children be put to blame with how these systems are forming to our own ways. Adultism telling other to grow up, even in the event of there children's entertainment, or now an adult novelist as gone of the deep end, or well, F*****

Childish, and adultism is all constructs of properties to the engine of non-fictional ways, so that our taxonomy.

Vibe Coding.


Is this where the verficationism is getting us? Vague gesturing of our actions? Now programmers are seeing the problem of vibe coding for their own games and craft, where this aesthetic science is made with the intermingling happen.

Seeing AI infiltrate from the programmer's side , 17 min podcast.

Vibes are not experiences, or feelings or intuitions. Content for content sake. So self-important it's cynicism that it can't be taken seriously. Yet here are the points where commercial coding and normal functional coding is where it will mix, and the ways the creative mixing will happen is to be taken out.

(Of course Seth has written about it.)

they need a literary editor x2?


" Oh Darth Marenghi, you're so right! " Darth Marhenghis Editor Roz, Incarcet.

No they don't, speaking as somebody in literature. Even though, gatekeeping and curating could apply here.

Some people need editors, some people don't they could be stuck within circularity and pigeonhole, yet it's a cosy pigeonhole, filled with calming clichés and stereotypes that reflect reassurances on the psych. Other than that, These hedonic treadmills can only take an amount of time required, and I would not have time for anything else.

Even when I tip my own toes into hypersexual themes, then it's going to be it's own cycle.

Yet this woosher with the times going round, when reasons of circles, then all the hackneyed reasons tend to justify itself, seeing self-justification of the history before, is a skill.

It's a wild west, so of course without guardrails there's going to be indetermination of unpredictable randomness. So, The infinite tasks here are going to be a problem.

A song that reappears from my old gaming days.

Ludology of the internet : Algorithmic Complacency


 

38 min

Hyperreality has been developed with, adding to the age of scepticism.

From the deliberately misinformed, ignorance. Agnotology at it again of people don't know through the illiteracy of the tech, that they are being manipulated, of the random robots making rules. Scrambling in and contextualising new deflations into an interactions nobody asked for.

Is this what Judith Butler calls a phantasm?

Escapism ; Activism and videogamers as prosumer


I'm going to have to read/audiobook infinite jest, don't i? Given his thought experiment of the amusement-to-death show, from Jokers laughing gas to Neil Postman Amusing ourselves to death. Well, to clarify, this is critiquing gamers as a consumer demographic/physiographic by industrial standards.

Even with literary/commercial when it comes to editing, there's the 

Despite sentiments trying to depoliticise escapism, even if it leads towards the polite fictions outside. Our interactions of social media cannot afford to have our break as our fiction, from slice of life to slice of escapism, warrants it.

Suggest the webs we weave out of the fiction, inspire our acts and vice versa, rainbow capitalism is the case for it, (yet, given my position, not really. )

This is why I don't consider gamers, with their prosumeration and lack of literacy-friendly ways, to be considered worthwhile. Priories of finding a way out of babysitting cultural distress signal.

30 minute


ViDEo GaMes
Includes Bob Chipman (I have my fair share of disagreements with this critic, he was trying to be a literary critic, even ten years ago, it goes to show within the span of time how much gamers haven't grown out of this consume-first mindset.)

It's so editorial resistant to its own pretensions, so I'd best deliberately ignore such theatrics.
15 min 13 years ago

I don't follow him any more.

The continued tantrums as a business model, ah, how it insists respect from the editorialists and expertise while also to doing the work to earn it.
((Post edit Couch Gregor here, I recognize the adultism here by Bob Chip, yet trying to compare it to adult. Since it's originally marketed as a children's toy.))

Another one to finish, Tooltime as been an old video blogger with his own therys of media of why he does not engage with it, why he ain't boring. He does not have to grow, and that's enough.

This one of them is cultivation/hyperdermic theory, cultivation theory of influences being a theme. Ten years ago, wow, back when I was a kid. 36:20



He's the only one who has done a good faithed critism of a mediocre essay series.

Why I am a literary editor, not a commercial one.


 Since commercial speaks for itself, I aim for the long-risky term and along more complexity of an established foundherentism principle. Figuratively in it's totaly.

That's what literature and by definition is, most of the ludo logical tautology online simple is not. Literacy requires pretension to be comprehended from audience to author. Where hypocrisy with all the affecting that since entertainment writing is meant. Entertainment writing ain't as pretentious as academy, editorial, journalism, and politics.

Yet such a distinction is worth talking and reminding once and again. That's for the foolish fiction to be the philosophical fact, to editorialise and to fictionalise once again.

https://substack.com/@ayanartan/note/p-153820574


Since the net, everybody can copyright now (Including this link towards pretension! Wow) Yet with everything with hyper-measurement, it ain't that scruncabley simple.

Defeatism


The thing about defeatism and internet that there's no rule of law within the wild west to call it out, for the adult to stop the toddler demanding there owed entertainment. Such a finance that affect.

Such opportunism and defeatism of mentality will remain in the shadows of our ism's. Ideologically speaking.

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.

Assuming Direct Control: Ideoeros

With the love of fiction comes with the love of the intangible ideas. (Reading Susan Haack, Despite her critic of dialectical materialism, she's got a solid epistemological study through such academese. Academes does not translate well into social media. What it means to consciousness raise to a public audience.)

Direct control is relative to the ideological justification provided, such is the authority, authorising new cultivations. 

With no election, contest or anointment, performances lead before. It's best to be direct, to simplify. At first, for the intuitions of the public, started with publishing.

Such is our fragments made from the once deferentialism, now it's with the cynics out there who happen to respond. Out of the platforms with our ideas that our for the culture, not some kind of algorithm that seeks to do.

A way of viewing of what can be seen an erotic nature of property.
