obviously in this thread i'm deliberately over-personifying the industry and the bubble itself as altman himself, to make a point about the relationships between personal motivations/tendencies/rationalizations and the ideologies that underlie systems. even if a rogue hype-consequence offs him tomorrow, the materialist forces in play will remain. but everything comes from people and you and i are part of that, and our choices matter.

if "like that" includes:
- enclosure of the commons in violation of copyright and licensing
- destroying the environment
- creating a massive economic bubble
- poisoning open source codebases
- rotting the brains of those who use it
- turning software development from a skill you can build into a utility you have to rent

then yeah, I'll unapologetically say "not like that"

Caya derp moment. #cats #catsOfMastondon #caturday

We need scholars across the humanities, because these are the fields where we study what it is to be human, to inhabit different identities, and to connect with each other, to be human together.

People who scold artists for using Masto to promote their art get an instant block from me. FOH.

The best use of Mastodon is discovering cool art of all kinds DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTISTS. If you are against that, WTF are you even doing here?

Happy Pi day, JavaScript users!

Nothing like a purposely fake paper to get some interesting results.
