They aren't even ready for a truth world. We're optimized for self-delusion on a good day. The future is going to be a baklava of fast-cut CGI-grade hallucinatory blandishments and threats at scale.

You can take all the exceptions you wish, but the truth is while its a great spot for certain legitimate above board financial vehicles, its also a tax haven. The two can in fact cohabitate, and in the case of the Caymans, do. Caymans in pa

I've had the benefit of working under several, wither as a direct report, or as an executive presence that modelled positive habits across an org (includes one CEO that I've worked for twice and would do so again if he decided to

Wow, I had to jog the memory about Kidd (she used to be on DeviantArt a lot, and I did a portrait of her some 20 years ago: https://www.deviantart.com/zeruch/art/celeste-in-triplikidd-... ) so this was all a very s

I know a decent number of tech, some art, and a handful of others (in Social Sciences/Journalism mostly). People treat migration as a "exodus" level event, or its a "failure" which misses the point.

I started posting my art online 20 years ago with DeviantArt and my original blogging efforts, but it was predicated on the fact that I had an art practice for my own edification, so the online part just became an adjunct aspect. I was &quo

IG has to allow an export function, if nothing else to help with compliance (e.g. CCPA) and in a digestible format. All PF has done is built a parser for said JSON formatting.

I'd rather grown a small but sincerely interested community around my work, than a large, mostly indifferent one. When I was still active on DeviantArt regularly, but before I got Gallery Director status (2004-2008 ish) I sold little p

I think you're being a bit overblown. If it was just bots, it would have fizzled out sooner; the bot account trash has waxed and waned over time, but I suspect the big reason it worked is that for years it allowed any subcommunity to e

I actually took a University course in M by one of its maintainers, the late Dick Walters. While I never found any personal utility in the language, it was a curious 3 months of experimentation, and Walters was a great professor and fairly

For me it was "Out To Lunch" and the live concert in I think 64, with Mingus. He just shone. A few years back I did an exhibition of jazz portraits at the now defunct Cafe Stritch where he was one of the bigger prominent works:

I think if Dolphy had lived longer, he would have eventually been viewed at the same level as Coltrane or Mingus. His sound was sometimes like Monk playing brass.

This was definitely not one of their best moves.

A considerable amount in terms of how they behave, what they expect, and for how long. They invest both in amounts and company types, and typically claim different equity amounts (and carry different liabilities) VCs do not typically debt l

This is far from The Nation's best ledes...franlkly, while many VCs have become quite amateurish and feckless, the domain is still with some real benefit. The Private Equity world however, THAT needs some real regulatory handcuffs, ASA

I agree with that wholeheartedly, and its pretty sad.

Expose it? It's practically on a parade level broadcast now, and few seem to care. Its like the system truly needs to meltdown and actual VCs and POEs need to lose their shirts to get a hint.

This is not remotely shocking at all. We're entering the age of the tech giants losing steam (you can only maintain psychotic growth for so long, then the parasitic phase of firms kick in, as they have no other operating drivers). I wo

As others have stated, the enshittification curve is a hockey stick, and the decline will only accelerate until they either have a Nadella/Grove/Jobs moment, or they turn into the new Yahoo (or worse).

That's a fair question, but overall, see my answer to the other person here who responded to me. My position is certainly not perfect, but it's also an assertion of ideological/practical preferences, and definitely doesn&#x2

It's not "more likely" to make us angry. It's a goddamn certitude.

I'd wager over 90% of people who 'quote' Adam Smith have never actually read more than a choice de-contextualized quote, and understand his actual positions at all.
