Petite réflexion matinale (et en manque de sommeil) sur une tentative de compréhension du succès de l'IA dans le divertissement et surtout de ce que ça dit de la conception libérale de l'art et du travail à l'œuvre, et ce que ça implique sur notre faculté d'écoute et d'entraide.

Bit of a #coldtake, I know, but I’m abstractly considering moving to another server (feels kind of disingenuous to still be on sfba.social when I’m in WNC), and choosing one is still confounding. Feels like I’m ignoring the advantages of federation by just heading to mastodon.social (I’d rather just stay here). But choosing most any other feels like I’m making a political statement, or shouting that I’m _really into_ some hobby.

I don’t want a political statement to be the first part of my identity people see online, and I’m not into anything enough that I want it to be the primary part of my identity.

I know, I’m overthinking this…

You know what, fuck bling. If you're rich it's for rubbing people's face in it & if you're not, it's for lying to them. Fuck both of those options.

I recognize that there are people who genuinely believe trans & queer people to be abnormal.

I still don't consider it a legitimate position, however, because at this point if you haven't enlightened yourself the extremely little bit required to know that this is bullshit, then you're showing a borderline criminal level of un-curiosity, unworthy of the mind nature has given you.

The universe didn't take 13.5bn years making your brain just so you can enthusiastically not use it.
