Language mediates those interactions with the world. There is no unmediated interaction with the world. Those moments when one feels most directly in contact with reality, that is when one is so deep down inside language that one cannot see

Saas, like streaming media generally, has always been a play to remove the control that comes with ownership from customers and keep it in the hands of big tech. Remember when they discontinued the iPod? It wasn't because people weren&

The difference is that on those apps it would be a miracle if your "publicly" shared post were ever seen by more than a handful of strangers. None of those send it to the front page except in very rare circumstances (going viral).

To be fair you have to be very deep into literature to criticize dostoevsky as "overdramatic"

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for weird right-wing gurus/boogie men these days. Nick Land where have you gone? Your house is in disarray.

Yeah, the "call out AI in solidarity with working artists" thing is a fad. All Hollywood or anybody else has to do to get around that impulse is present AI-based content as indie production for whom there was never any question of

There should be no art at all. And indeed there is no art. So everything is fine.

Yeah we already have a perfectly serviceable way to extract the meat from an article and avoid the filler (i.e. don't click just read the headline)

Writing, making music, making art, and engaging with the public in any way is almost always a waste of time. So unless you want to keep it up even in light of knowing that it's a waste of time, you should stop wasting your time. If you

There's not much riding on convincing the broader public that AI is the real deal before it's proved itself beyond the shadow of any doubt. There's nothing they can do to prepare at this point.

Before enterprise AI systems are allowed to spread their wings, first they need to support existing processes. Once they're able to generate the same customer-facing results relatively autonomously, then they'll have the opportuni
