Ecologia Digital“#AI refers to the machinery that fills the world with #mentaltrash, extraneous #noncontent that nonetheless wastes the cognitive powers of those who are forced to encounter it. (As if synthesizing the manifold weren’t already burdensome enough.) No subjective, embodied thought went into it, but someone’s actual life will be wasted in dealing with it, even as its production has wasted the planet’s life-sustaining resources. It kills life twice over."
Mx VerdaAdd *yourself* in a list! I hope to track my new posts more easily than the “Posts” (but only some of them and idk which ones),
“Posts and replies” (but only some of different ones?!), and “Media” tabs on my profile!
The “Media” tab https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/media is #WhatIf instagram but not owned by Mark Zuckerberg as part of Facebook and Meta,
who wouldn’t let his kids use his products and owns a billionaire’s zucker bunker in Hawaii? (Number links btw: https://byjus.com/us/math/million-billion-trillion/ and https://www.cfinancialfreedom.com/what-is-a-millionaire-the-4-levels-of-millionaire-status-defined/ )
Hawai’i, a state he is decidedly not from? Havvaii: a sovereign nation before we (americans) invaded and stole it?
How much is 1 billion of anything, anyway? https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
(US scale: 1,000 million or 1,000,000,000 or 10^9, so 1 with 9 zeros before the decimal point.
UK scale: one million million or 1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12, so 1 with 12 zeros before the decimal point.)
But… *any* billionaire has that much. And keeps it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2021/12/27/here-are-the-biggest-billionaire-scandals-of-2020/
If you had the power to eliminate hunger somewhere, would you?

but also https://www.forbes.com/sites/justcapital/2021/06/17/dont-blame-billionaires-for-being-rich-the-system-is-the-villain/ If people are incentivised to be unsustainably selfish, and they choose to act unsustainably selfish, then both are unsustainable for everyone and need to be changed.
But what does a sample of US citizens
(and residents? And visitors? Nah, only people born there with passports matter, probably) think?

Anyway the list thing is cool. Still can’t find my Like a Dragon, Irate Yakuza in Hawaii post tho. Wait.

Nate Gullion#noncontent #personal #Garf #catphotos I just purchased this cold-brew mason jar to try out fruit-infusing water (and of course cold-brewing). Our cat Garfield had to inspect it for quality. Garf kind of looks terrified in that second photo, but I swear it's just because he loves to play and he typically goes full hunt-mode when he has a new spot to "hide" 🤣. The BF and I are very excited to try out some freshly infused peach-mango water for the first time tonight! Fingers crossed 🤞
