I'm getting just a tad bit tired of companies re-appropriating terms like "local first", "operating system", "internet".
"Local first" is not "uses a datacenter in your general area".
And neither "operating system" nor "internet" mean "a closed source website with a closed beta that breaks basic web features".

The first one is of course from an AI company that I won't name. The second is from #Metalabel and from them I actually expected better, but maybe I was misguided.

This is quite an interesting approach, reminds me a bit of the short lived Assembly freelancing experiment.

'What's the difference between an #artist and a #creator?

Yancey Strickler on the #Metalabel Blog:

https://blog.metalabel.com/whats-the-difference-between-an-artist-and-a-creator/?ref=the-metalabel-blog-newsletter

‘Creative work done for artistic purposes is thought to exist for reasons above #money. "Love and honor” is a convenient excuse to not compensate for it, “exposure” too. Creative work for commercial purposes, on the other hand, can be handsomely rewarded. …

The people who make the first kind of work are historically called “fine artists.” The people who make the second kind of work are called “commercial artists.” ….

In recent decades a similar but distinct creative role has emerged: the creator. People who make a living from #subscriptionsm #crowdfunding, selling #merch, and other forms of direct exchange unlocked by the web. Like artists, creators have a lot of freedom in what they do. … Unlike artists, they don't have to navigate the academy system or #artworld politics to do it. ‘

Continuing on the #Metalabel tip…

My copy of Chance Would Be a Fine Thing arrived at the weekend.

https://metalabel-ktav.metalabel.com/chance-would-be-a-fine-thing-book?retryCount=1&variantId=1

It’s a design-forward, twenty-first-century contribution to the tradition of Mallarmé’s Un Coup de Dés (A Throw of the Dice). Created by the Bangkok-based collective for potential #design, Copode.

I especially like their refusal to either uncritically celebrate #AI or lapse into fatalism about it. I also appreciate their emphasis on creating something unexpected, something that even takes them by surprise, as well as the way the #book looks toward exploring alternative models for collaboration between humans and #technologies.
